Rumour Draft Rumours 2024 - No rumours allowed

[LB2Snake]

It was a covid draft - it was real guesswork with the Vic kids - and the rest of the draft is looking very ordinary too. And unlike the bigfooty experts, you were at least right on the WA kid who had normal exposure - Logan McDonald - a bit meh.

yeah was a pretty ordinary draft

Casey finished 17th and won 5 games all year.

That’s not necessarily a good indication that he’s going fine and your club doesn’t need more top end draft talls.

Ahhhh.... it actually more likely means that we have **** all midfield depth, so and there for, we should draft more.

Very weak top 10. McDonald and your boy might still kick on, but very few good players taken. It's not one where I'd view you s stuffing up. You can only pick what's there and someone like Max Holmes had had very little exposure and thus wasn't on the radar of many.

If North Melbourne was to overlook Tauru at pick 2, he would not be expected to get past Melbourne at pick 5 given the Demons are big fans of the Gippsland Power high-flyer.

"Tauru at either 4 to North but definitely Melbourne at 5."

So B-grade journo who's job it is to create chatter and sell ad space makes a non-committal statement, and you're running with it as fact.

Right...

How so?

North or Melbourne are taking the bolter, we get a mid at 7.

We don’t get a choice of who we get. But they have all been linked to pick 1 or 2 at some point.

Who’s to say the mid at pick 7 won’t turn out the pick of the bunch!

 

[saintmike65]

It’s all dependent on how you view the draft crop.

Giants are known to trade up for a targeted player. They don’t lose a pick in the draft and they gain the ability to select the 8th best kid who may be higher than 8th on their draft board.

Can see them liking Travaglia & Lindsay

So Jagga isn’t the player the crows want or North aren’t also considering FOS or and I think it’s this one, you are just assuming it’s the Melbourne piece that’s incorrect here.

I get it, we are bias to our own desires.

I don’t care if he lands at 7 or it’s a mid. It’s just fun watching people lose their minds at this point when they see something that opposes their head canons with shit they have no control over.

By the same token, you might very well need mids. But you also have an ageing best 22 of talls and this hope your all pinning on Jefferson who I don’t believe he has even debuted in his 2 seasons - whilst playing for a side begging for any half decent focal point also says you might actually need a tall too!

And seeing as this thread is about rumours. These Melbourne fans telling me about what Jason Taylor said.

It’s literally classified as a rumour at best. Telling a random crowd what Melbournes draft strategy is.

Bit of rumour that Fremantle will rookie Jaren Carr (SF) and that West Coast will add Michael Sellwood (PT) pre-season as he didn't nominate, which in itself is a sign that something is brewing.

Probably the one club, going by the past 12 months at least, that you can use your coterie members to get a certain message out into the media……been a lot of rumours flying out of Melbourne these past 12 months.

If it was real that this is what was said.. it would have been reported on by now.

Instead Ralphy is reporting -

The word from the Demons camp is that this is very much a ‘best available’ draft.

lol, who died and put you in charge?

So now you like Ralphy?

Just tell us the rumours that suit you that we should believe , and the ones that don't that we should ignore , and then we will all know how we should be thinking

Have I got that right ?

 

[Pure_Ownage]

I would absolutely LOVE to see Sam Power’s response if he got a call from Andrew Mackie on draft night re: Pick 17

I'm pretty sure Sam would hang up the phone lol. We would know this and be looking at Sydney or Richmond instead.

Given that Carr had interest from other clubs mid season but bypassed the MSD this would be logical.

You can't add blokes through SSP if they didn't nominate.

ok....maybe I've got the wrong info and he did nominate. My apologies for that. Unsure what was explained to me. Unless they meant the 2025 mid-season.

But what I do know is that the Eagles are interested in Sellwood and he's ready made. A bit undisciplined at times but tough and skillful.

 

[Saint believer]

I think we would offer 8 and 32.

It wouldn’t look so bad then would it.

How about 8 32 + F1 for 10 and 11?

Do you think St Kilda would accept 11 and 20 for 8 and F2?

Why would we trade pick 11 for 8?
