Rumour Draft Rumours 2024 - No rumours allowed

[Pure_Ownage]

Jay Clark -

Lalor 1

FOS or Tauru at 2

FOS Jagga Draper at 3 (FOS Favourite)

Draper or Langford if crows hold 4

Midfielder left over or Tauru 5

Smillie 6

Clark thinks Draper a chance to slide to the saints at 7

The Saints are also in talks to trade one of the picks for two later selections in the first round, with Greater Western Sydney able to consider a deal with picks 15, 16 and 21.

I am about as much chance of playing afl next year as the saints are of getting Draper at 7. He won't get past adelaide.

Likely.

But Twomey himself said there is a world that Smillie Langford or Draper all get to the saints at 7.

The weirder thing for my is just how much journo’s seem to be going on about Richmond not talking about their intentions

Surely that’s how it is for most teams, every year?

I can’t imagine Cal is able to call up every team and go “hey mate who are you taking?” and they just tell him

I’ve always assumed he reached out to those teams without a top ten pick and built a consensus view off what they say and then vice versa

 

[Makeshift Park]

He was the reporter who broke the Roos and Crows pick swap talks.

Citation?

He never breaks anything. It would be the defining moment of his career if so.

Twomey broke that news. As I said.

Its very accurate - especially the top 10 - for him not to be given more info that other journo's get. But this looks like his biggest test - if he gets this right then he is 100% getting inside info. Also early picks - the players are told before draft night - that helps getting things out.

If we don't drop back we are taking FOS IMO.

 

[Anonfr]

Demons will take Tauru at 5 if available regardless of whoever is left, my mail remains the same just had it reconfirmed. My source has near 100% strike rate. Rational is he is a more agile Macdonald replacement with a higher ceiling.

Most north supporters are saying this.

How highly can you rate FOS if all it’s going to take is a Future second round pick to not take him?

 

[StCicatriz]

Is the consensus that North will trade their pick 2?

If its from 2 - 4 how much more is the drop worth?? We can't expect the world for 2 spots.

I think if we don't get our price we welcome FOS with open arms - he looks amazing and without injury IMO he clears out as number 1 pick. Easy rate FOS very highly - I would think all 18 clubs have him right in the top group of this draft.

 

[Wild Bill]

Is the consensus that North will trade their pick 2?

I don't think we will. If I could place a bet - its on us calling out FOS at 2,

 

[ReverseKanga]

He was the reporter who broke the Roos and Crows pick swap talks.

So again, I think he will land it.

But once that pick 8 trade goes down, unless it’s obvious like Travaglia. It could be out the window.

The other pick I think will be a big divergent point is if the tigers go Armstrong or Whitlock. Who they are rumoured to love.

I can see you still haven’t had the wank I told you to have to calm your nerves down. Just relax sheesh. You take this all so personal every time someone types a comment.

Well this is exactly why it doesn’t make sense.

If you think he clears the number 1 pick without injury.

Why does a future second round pick justify North not taking him?

You’re an odd fella.

We have a lot of top end picks that are mids. That's why there is so much talk about us dropping back - but it could all be smoke and mirrors and we will just take FOS.

Time will tell but I would be very happy taking FOS. Tauru comes with great risk IMO.

I reckon Tauru is right at the top of your draft board.

Even if it’s 1A FOS 1B Tauru.

 

[Wild Bill]

Yeah agree - so if we get something for 2 that gets us Tauru we could take it.

 

[stavro#4]

Yeah agree - so if we get something for 2 that gets us Tauru we could take it.

Yeah, that would make a lot more sense then seeing FOS as a clear cut better player and prospect only to give that up for a future second.

 

[LB2Snake]

Or we could follow the opinion of any old North fan and think your getting a bounty for every pick you own and each kid you select is the next superstar in a north side that again doesn’t escape the bottom 5 in 2025

Yeah if only we had the storied history of St Kilda.

 

[Wild Bill]

Yeah, that would make a lot more sense then seeing FOS as a clear cut better player and prospect only to give that up for a future second.

And the Saints? Who do you want? Who do you think they take?

 

[stavro#4]

Mate, your already transitioning into the third WA side.

Careful of the stones you throw

And the Saints? Who do you want? Who do you think they take?

Any of the mid sliders at 7. Preference would be Langford Draper then Smillie. But thrilled with any.

And if the reports of 2 giant picks for 8 are correct. Splitting.

I have the next 10 or so players very even and would prefer 2 of them to balance the draft haul.

Draper would be am amazing result - he is part of the big 4 IMO.

 

[walterhobbs]

I still think that's who we want at 2 if we trade up!

 

[Wild Bill]

Yeah I would be shocked if you came up for FOS or Smith.

 

[stavro#4]

Draper would be am amazing result - he is part of the big 4 IMO.

I rate them all very highly.

But I think Langford is a Rolls Royce type of mid.

Someone who would compliment Phillipou Windhager Henry Wilson etc
