Rumour Draft Rumours 2024

[tigs2010]

Lol - what's it like back in June?

Yes every club rates the players same as you. But then imagine Adelaide don't take 1 of the big 4 at pick 4...

 

[A Bit Dusty]

If Draper is such a Lock for Adelaide then why wouldn't they be open to a swap of picks with the Tigers?
Tigers 6 & 23 for the Crows pick 4 then that forces North to pick a tall

 

[THE_GUN]

No, it's always been a top four and Langford in every single thing I've posted, or will post.

Langford has some genuine weapons but also big issues around foot speed. Some get excited about what he did against other juniors, other don't.

I don't think Tauru is worth 6 as a third tall, but NM does. No one else gets close.

WRONG !!!

I think i know who's opinion i would trust more


Give up your losing battle mate

 

[Mostyn]

Smith would be a dream at pick 6 but I doubt he gets there, he's a possible at 1.

Smillie seems to have falled out of favour, if we assume Lalor goes pick 1, I think we will try and nab one of the following that slides, Smith, FOS, Draper, Langford, modest chance one is available

Huh.

That seems like you're hoping one of the top 5 slides to 6 ...

 

[LB2Snake]

No he didn't stop talking

The Kangaroos' first pick has long been linked with a switch to a rival, with the Tigers believed to be keen to snare the first two selections in this year's draft.

Head of Football talent Brady Rawlings admitted shortly after the end of the trade period that after utilising Picks 24 and 44 to secure Caleb Daniel, Luke Parker and Jacob Konstanty during the trade period, they were "light on" with selections.

However, Rawlings was open to using Pick 2 to help slide down the order, as well as the club's future pick.

"There's options with the two," Rawlings said last week.

"There's options with our future hand. We've got future one, two, three and four still up our sleeves.

"We can trade all the way up until draft night. We can trade on the night.

"So we'll keep exploring ways to improve our draft hand."

I think only one of us is talking

 

[Mostyn]

You have to be trolling at this point. At least I hope so.

Lol, it's not your club board. You have to expect more rational responses.

Lol - have you checked the Herald Sun, the Age, Fox Footy, ESPN?

There's literally a post that shows you what every respected rankings currently has.

Don't just listen to Cal. He clearly likes slower mids - but he'll change his tune when he actually does his mock draft.

 

[tigs2010]

Yes rational like "every club agrees on the top 4" super rational mate

Why do so many have Draper 7-10? 50% of the journo ranking in fact.

Similar to your "Rioli isn't going to get 6 let alone more" rational responses

Draper could easily go in the first three picks, before the Crows pick. We'll just take one of the other tier 1 mids.

Also - did you even listen to gettable??

Twomey, your hero, said -

6 certainties for the Top Ten:

Lalor
Ashcroft
Smith
FOS
Draper
Langford

Next level - very likely
Smillie
Tauru

Possible
Kako
Lombard
reid
Allan
travaglia

CAL AGREES WITH ME

 

[richoatthedisco]

Tigers aren’t taking 8 first round picks. We believe North want Tauru. That’s about as much as we know.

We know North need talls. We know North just made room to take more picks. We know Richmond will have a queue of buyers for its picks out the door and round the corner.

We believe North want Tauru. But some North fans dispute that he's the be-all and end-all. It might be that North will be happy with two highly-rated talls. If they miss Tauru, say Armstrong and Trainor.

FOS played less games and a lot less well but is still seen as a better prospect then Smillie though. What’s that say for Smillie

The only thing it says is how highly FOS is rated, as does the likelihood that he will go in the top-2 (and certainty he'll go top-3) no matter who holds pick 2.

Fair enough, it's just they don't seem to be doing much to move up the order,

It's a game of chicken. Richmond holds 8 of the first 24 picks, North 1 of the first 61. Richmond would be insane and frankly negligent to move first.

 

[RUNVS]

Heard a rumour that Sydney is interested in a player most rate as a mid to late second rounder with our first pick. We are convinced that we see something in this mid sized outside mid or small forward that no one else sees.

 

[richoatthedisco]

Smith would be a dream at pick 6 but I doubt he gets there, he's a possible at 1.

He isn't.

Smillie seems to have falled out of favour,

Not with us.

Ohh now its 6 certainties

Now go look at his rankings where he has Reid & Draper

You are struggling son go have a nap

 

[4tune8]

Huh.

That seems like you're hoping one of the top 5 slides to 6 ...

Just for arguments sake...

Lalor
FOS
Draper
Jagga (Crows)
Smillie (Dees)
Langford

One of Jagga, Langford or Smillie will be available at 6

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Which are all completely useless.

Why are you here then?

Melbourne would consider Draper at 5.

Also how does that force North to pick a tall? They have pick 2. They can pick anyone they want.

 

[Sarcoidevo]

What a clstrfk this thread is

Only another 2.5 weeks to go

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say we will draft Draper at 2.

Getting talls in isn’t as vital as most think. We brought a decent first round prospect in last year (Dawson), Comben had an injury free year and showed his quality, Logue is back 100% from his knee. Larkey will have Darling the next two years. Then in the wings we have Teakle, Dawson, Pink, Maley. It’s not elite but it’s a good depth.

Tauru would be a nice luxury if we could get the F1 around that area. If not we can aim lower (I think Matt Whitlock would be a good later option, is showing some wares dual position like Comben and Wil Dawson so these will be big boys with role flexibility). There’ll be guys in the 40’s that slide or are good prospects.

I just don’t think we’re looking at this draft for the tall smorgasbord that some think we are.

 

[#1_pigeonracer]

I'm going out on an opposite limb and suggesting there is zero chance North pick Draper at 2.

 

[LB2Snake]

Yeah I’d agree. If there’s a club gun shy about picking SA prospects high it’d be us. Shame as one of our greatest ever, Malcolm Blight, came from SA.
Draper similar to Wardlaw IMO…..think he’d be 3rd or 4th on our list.
But 2 Wardlaws wouldn’t be terrible. Just think there’s other options for us that suit better.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

I think they’re trying to get up to 2 precisely because they very much do want Finn.

I think they want to walk out of there with Lalor, FOS and Smillie. Then they can perhaps grab a few talls later on, in the area where lots are looking like being taken.

Smart strategy.

In that case they should be willing to part with 6 for Finn, and either trade up from 10 for Smillie or hope he falls there.

Pipe down, Bananas, or we bid on Ashcroft at 1.

What is a small slide?
A couple of picks? Then why chase Pick 6 that's more than a couple you have NFI
