Rumour Draft Rumours 2024 - No rumours allowed

[Makeshift Park]

Gerreyn has the weapons to tear the game apart and is my favorite amongst all of the KPP's. If he had have taken the championship games by the scruff of the neck then he'd be pushing for top 15 contention, trouble was he didn't

Gerreyn has developed mythical status on the NM board this year.

It'll be interesting to see how he goes against men after spending the year as a 100kg gorilla playing against kids.

(I realise there were a couple of east perth games too)

I wouldn't mind if we traded in an F3 to get him.

Your draft hand is the envy of most of the comp. Second best behind Richmond. I also think you'll trade 32 and 47 for 27.

That’d be ironic given we started with #27 before swapping with Brisbane

Actually I don't think the rules would allow it then. Not sure. What was trade?

I'd love to have him, we have an outstanding WA recruiting manager who has runs on the board with Rance, Bolton, Baker, McIntosh and Broad. If he says he's a go then we'll take him.

That's a strange one. How did that work for either club? I suppose you guys just preferred the extra pick, but wouldn't that have been a point loss for them?

He's a bit outside your range when your last pick is 24!

It'd be a surprise if there's a bid for him inside the top 30, judging by all the mock drafts.

 

[LB2Snake]

I'm only messing. I'm sure you will start offering it very early until someone says yes or the guys you like are off the board.

You’d think so. Who knows what’s already planned too. I really don’t think the media know anywhere near what they a normally do. Fun times.
We are obviously keen on Tauru, just depend what we or another team are prepared to give up. I’d think Something around pick 10 for our F1, but you guys will have many other plans and deals in place too you’d think. Won’t be many better F1’s on the table though. WC’s of course.

 

[LB2Snake]

I’m surprised there isn’t the same energy of Tigers reaching for Lalor as the rumours of when North would reach for Tauru. Nobody had Lalor as a top 5 pick 2 months ago. He has had a significant soft tissue injury and for my eye is a poor man’s Rayner (I do like Rayner). FOS had poor year but we can say that because his previous years were elite. Draper and Ashcroft had better years all round then both. Langford is to slow and Smillie has moved back in the draft for what I can only assume is poor Champs that hasn’t affect FOS or Lalor as much.

Everyone wants a player like Lalor though. They turn games.

Big chance we slide one or two of our later picks as well as picking up futures, something like our 20 for 35 and an F1?

I think Tiges will probably trade out a couple of their picks - take six in the first round, give themselves a really strong hand in next year's draft and probably get a mid draft pick to take someone they like later in the draft for their 7th pick.

 

[sr36]

Depends if he ends up Degoey or Cam Zurhaar. (I rate Zurhaar but not at that point of the draft)

Haha, see above

He looks a truckload better player than CZ. I sorta feel like all the mids have some small question marks on them though.

 

[LB2Snake]

Tigers need players still, but they could conceivably have 2, if not 3, of the first 3 picks next year. But they still need to draft guys this year.

We were running out of list spots for all our picks. Similar reasoning for our trade with Collingwood.

I think Zurhaar would be rated a lot higher in a good team. Impactful moments aren't impactful when you're 10 goals down.

But yeah for all the poor Saints rhetoric, they're picks are at the point when this draft starts to become much stronger and better value than a normal draft. The top mids aren't as top as some year's top mids, and frankly theres a couple who I doubt become mids, but the lower rated ones like Reid and Lindsay look great value and there are a heap of strong prospect talls and positional players. Tauru and Trevaglia would be a fantastic haul.

And you've probably got a deal to end up turning 27 back into more points than the picks you traded it for.

Any concern about the Lalor, Smilie, Taranto, Hopper midfield mix for the next 5-6 years in such a fast paced/running game now?

we get rid of hooper next year watch this space. point taken though. lalor and smilie are not fast but they arnt slow either

There’s a couple of quick young mids coming through at tigers too no? Can’t remember their names, but there was one bloke was a bit of a butler clone running though the middle this year.

 

[Keystone agony]

No one’s moving down out of the top 5 of a draft for a future 3rd…

Tigers also rorted, basically giving up a pick 1 to help North

They are if its getting them the same player they would at 5

Ie completely free

But also why i said maybe Norths F2 instead

Your gonna have to rid him for peanuts, which isnt ideal 24 months after paying through the nostrils

Hopper is alright. He just gets too many injuries. I could see the Pies being interested depending on who retires.

 

[FB19]

What a difference 2 points in a game makes!!! They beat the Blues in the last round by 2 points and jump above the Suns and Dees.

If they lost that would have picks 5 & 6 instead of 7 & 8.

St Kilda cost themselves by winning a meaningless game.
North says “hold my beer”

Harley looks like he's drinking quite a few people's beers this offseason.

Kerch is looking in much better shape.
