Rumour Draft Rumours 2024

[Trent the flight Steward]

I’m more than happy with FOS or Lalor and I don’t want to move our F1st on until we can put a decent year together.

I would take Sharp with our pick 2 this year.

You have wardlaw, sheezal, mckertcher, duursma, ldu, phillips and simpkin as high pick mids. You can't have a team of midfielder and rise up the ladder. That's why you'll flip 2 ro multiple later first picks.

Tauru will be there by the tigers 10th pick. And then you can add a few kpp in the teens.

Dees need a kpp and armstrong will go with 9 and they'll grab the best mid at 5. As there's a fair chance in 2026 petracca and Oliver won't be there. Can't see any club picking tauru in the top 10.

Hope so, no need to trade up to pick 2 if it costs pick 6.

It's only the "plus" you need to be concerned about. Obviously you'd straight swap 2 for 6.

I think 10 18 & 20 will do it. North are big in tauru and he'll be still there.

I think the tigers are now thinking of having Lalor, osullivan and Smith as their first 3 picks. Then grab the best player at 11 which I think theyll grab hotton. They might even package 23 & 24 for a pick in the teens say freos pick 14? They might end up with both trainor and hotton then

I think tigers fans would be happy with
Lalor
Osullivan
Smith
Hotton
Trainor
Out if the draft, also allows a pick in the psd

 

[Wild Bill]

North definitely want the Pick 2 trade to happen no matter what they say. They have dug a hole for themselves and are desperately trying to find a way out but really don't have not much leverage. With only the one pick and although a great pick but with this year's group being so even it isn't as appealing to sell the farm for it as it would normally be in past years. If it does happen, they will be getting unders which their supporters will finally realize on draft night that even with a F1 dangled it still won't even attract a fair price.

Love how posters know what clubs are "desperate" to do. Posters that have never had any experience at an AFL club.

How do you know we don't have a clear 2 best players in the draft - like we did with Sheezel and Wardlaw? Just this time we only get 1 of them.

 

[ep2018]

2 for 6 and 11 is a good deal for both teams imo. Too bad Richmond are being pricks about it.

Tauru will go before 10.

We just lost TT - Phillips looks a bust, Duursma is a half forward not a mid, we are yet see what McKercher can do as a mid.

At 2 you take the best in the draft - if that is a mid - so be it.

Dees need best available. Viney, Gawn and May are getting on. Big question marks about Clarry and Petracca's futures at the club. Kosi is always a risk of requesting a trade. If the blokes they draft make it, there's a fair chance they don't play much if any of their good footy with the Dees current good players.

Pick 2 & future first for 6 & 11 in this years draft is a good deal for both teams. North will improve from previous years finally.
Richmond not really wanting to trade out of this years draft unless it is a great offer!
More likely to trade with later picks.

Except we currently have 9 list spots available, so we will take 7 with two rookie upgrades.

You must be bleeding giving up 3 for 12/14 if you value 2 at 6/11.

Yep. That is a fair trade if they want 2. Perhaps they don't.

It's absolutely horrific deal for North

It'll end up 2 and a top 5 pick for 6 and 11.

This draft may be stronger, even still any unbiased observer that deal is crazy one sided

 

[Makeshift Park]

Most North posters are happy to take either FOS or Draper at pick two in the absence of a better deal coming along.

So what would a better deal look like? Well since we’d be trading away the ability to draft a top line mid, I’m gonna propose the deal has to allow North to get two of Tauru, Armstrong and Berry.

(you could possibly extend this argument to include Shanahan or Trainor instead of Berry potentially).

Anything less doesn’t make sense. What’s the point in trading down from Norths perspective if it’s not allowing us to achieve that? We’re better off just taking FOS or Draper.

 

[Chip Scab1]

Of all the fantasies in this thread I think the idea that St Kilda will just say to North 'here's pick 7 and our F1, see how you go' is my favourite.

If the Saints want to do that trade they will have to do their own leg work and turn their F1 into a pick this year. North already know how tough that is.

If we walk away with Tauru, Hotton and Gerreyn, it'll be worth it. You can have whoever it is you need/want. You're one of the few (from both sides) with your feet firmly on the ground.

10, 11, 25(ish) should do it, we'll give you a future 2nd if you want it. Thanks. Keep 6, have 2 - get the two best midfielders you want. Simple.

It seems.

LOL. Good deal for Richmond, would mean a new list manager for North, as Brady wouldn't make it out of Hardon St, alive.

You guys aren't playing finals for 7-8 years, why do you insist on such bullshit one-sided nonsense (in every thread). You still owe us for CCJ... and Tarrant. Zone 3 mentality.

Don’t think this will be too far off tbh.
Think the Port/GWS wrangling is for this result to get you 11, 15 and 29 with nothing back.

Reckon the picks will land you two of Shanahan, Whitlock, Trainor and Hotton as well as Gerryn with the third one if that’s the way the norths brains trust decided to go.

Trades get worse every day, even in less time than a day.
At this rate, by the draft pick 2 will be worth 23, 46 and a F4.
Ah well. Great times.

Don’t get too despondent.
If it were me I’d just offer 10 and 11 and be done with it - straight up yes or no and move on.

But seems GWS and Port are involved in this as well.

I’m not too fussed tbh.

While I’d like FOS I think there may be with Allan being favoured to be picked up by Melb or the Saints before 10, and the Dees keen on Tauru with one of their picks, picks 10 and 11 we will have the choice of four of Armstrong, Reid, Lindsay, Travaglia, Shanahan.

Either way it will work out.

Will just depend on if both clubs find a way to optimise their positions to suit them.

Wasn’t being despondent…..was more a comment on how bad the trades are getting.
Nice to know how desperate some supporters are to absolutely rip North Melbourne’s face off though. Definitely been an interesting read on here.
Your post reads like you have absolutely no desire for “both clubs to find a way to optimise their positions to suit them”
Stay classy.

Huh? I’m only looking at the rumours and trying to put 2 and 2 together.

Personally I like my clubs current draft hand. As I said FOS would be nice. But 10/11 give us good options as well.

I’m not putting my ideas to you to validate them. They are my thoughts on what could happen with the scuttlebutt going round.

I’m all for my club optimising its position- not sure how you say I’ve got no desire for that to happen. Im also ok with not trading up to 2.

I’ve read lots of Kanga supporters say they are happy keeping 2 but I haven’t accused them of not being classy.

Very strange interpretation from you.

North won't do a deal if they don't think the pick.theyll will land tauru

 

[Rich01]

There’s rumours the dees are keen on him.Whether that’s at 5 or 9 is anyone’s guess. But I spose they know that if North get 6 they need to pull the trigger at 5 if they really want him.

So realistically Richmond can’t trade for 2 if your assumption is correct.

Don’t think it is though as the belief is that clubs are still trying to find a deal that appeases both.

How is 2 and mostly likely 2, 3 or 4 for 6 & 11 good for North??

The top end is looking much better in 2025 than in 2024. Ive posted before - I would take Sharp with pick 2 this year.

Apologies Rich01 …..read your post last night and took it as another “North forced to now trade and not get much in return”
Interpreted it wrong. My bad
