Rumour Draft Rumours 2024 - No rumours allowed

Yeah I’m not on board with that…..hope my club feels the same.
Be interesting on the night, it’ll be how desperate clubs are and who’s there.
The earlier they are swapped out is where Tigers value might be….unless there’s a slider on the night.

The draft is so even that most clubs will have someone they rate really highly slide.

Welcome to the last day of the pick trade window ladies and gents.

Will anything actually happen beyond the rustling of tumbleweeds and chirping of crickets?

forget my delusion, make the case for the trade based on available player.

Why would anyone bother. You'll just say "not worth it" or "won't be available".

It's a strong draft. Tigers picks are valuable.

Why do they close it for this period?

Why do they close it for this period?

To create another exciting deadline. Another question would be, why has it been open?

I can see that, however it could also be a pick around 8-12. People forget that we finished outside the top 8 only 2 seasons ago.

Any decent list manager is not going to forecast Geelongs first being outside the 8. Of course it could, but they would base it on your most recent ladder position and the fact you’ve theoretically improved via trades.

If you look at what clubs have paid to trade forward on draft night, they pay a pretty expensive price. Going to be fascinating to see what pick movements happen this draft

Such an even competition. I'd have 3 tiers of value. I'd rank 11 teams the same. Then 6 teams the same. Then Richmond.

It's edge of the seat stuff. Can Brisbane add an extra 50 matching points before the deadline.

I am saying the quality of player available at pick 21 is not worthy of a F1.
Only happening if a Top 10-15 player has slid to 21. If that didn't happen, then the players from 20-40 or so are all equal.

Don't get X, take Y. No Y, take Z. Not need to give up F1. If you have a later pick, F2 and later pick is more than fair trade.

I would want Hawks to trade our pick 33 for Dogs or Ports pick 35 or 36 if they can throw in their F3 prior to draft night as we don't have one now. This will make it easier to offer straight up trades for our Blues F1+35/36 for GWS picks & later.

what you are saying is that you have FOMO

No one GAF

Sweet. We'll give you two of those golden 20s picks for your crappy top 5 pick.

ha ha. more so compared to other drafts. Lets put it this way even if draft was completely untouched otherwise you would trade 3 first rounders including pick 1 for Harley and not need the thinking music.
