Rumour GFC 2024 Player Trading, Drafting FA, Rumours and Wish lists Pt 2

[cats_09]

Ask and we'll try our best to assist - so here's 2024 Provisional AFL Draft Order

As normal, would like to acknowledge & thank Lore for creating this, keeping it up to date and making it available for all users on BF to use and keep track of the picks ahead of the upcoming draft





I'll also sticky this post to ensure it's easily accessible for discussion of our hypothetical trader

 

[Pure_Ownage]

I'd not be super keen.

I feel like we need to find a way to keep a high intensity of pressure post Rohan's retirement and Fogarty is a step in the wrong direction. Good player but I'm skeptical that a mix of Fogarty alongside Neale, Cameron, and Henry will get it done for us. He's also a local SA boy so I'd imagine hard to pry away. In terms of forwards I'd hope we look for an athletic KPF in the Cameron/Reiwoldt mold as a development prospect to supersede Cameron and a more immediate high-impact pressure forward (that isn't small) to fill the more imminent Rohan departure.

I agree that a more athletic fwd would be a better fit.

We also reallt need to focus on trading in mids and a quality ruck (we need to throw a boatload at tdk next year and if we cant get him cast the net wider) more so than fwds which is our strongest line.

Rohan is pretty unique, I can't think of anyone else like him

 

[Hinkley29]

For driving personal accountability for standards you won't find better.

For finding a player that has never done cocaine you won't find any

Not all of them are stupid enough to get busted doing it on social media.

 

[Hinkley29]

Good fit or not he was very good that last quarter against Essendon just then. Just looked a huge threat

So did Ollie Lord in a final in a one game sample size.

And he sucks

I remember a few people on here really pining for him

Lord is a very good player. Hes just unfortunate to have ken as a coach.

Fogarty has played like this all year

I think people fell in love with the romance of his name without actually watching him play more than one game.

 

[Lana]

He really isn't. optimistically + - Josh Walker career beckons

 

[Hinkley29]

He has shown flashes of this form, but he has also been anonymous in big chunks of games on a regular basis.

Which kind of makes him a slightly more developed version of Shannon Neale.

I'm going to agree to disagree and move on because we're not chasing him anyway. Kind of a moot point

His ceiling is much higher than that if developed properly.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

His ceiling is much higher than that if developed properly.

Feels like a lottery ticket though.

Who would you rather pump games into next year: Ollie Lord or Jonty Faull?

 

[Hinkley29]

To be fair that is a pretty low ceiling.

 

[Lana]

His ceiling is much higher than that if developed properly.

So was mine, unfortunately the C team coaches weren't up to the task.

 

[Lana]

His ceiling is much higher than that if developed properly.

But seriously its not the ceiling you chase in recruitment but the expected output. Many players have some attribute if leveraged in the right niche, could in theory provide a pathway to a high ceiling. Odds on their limitations elsewhere prevent it.

KPF is a very all or nothing position, you either elite or mediocre. Even having a long mediocre career is an achievement.

Jonty sprays a lot of kicks.

 

[CatsDoItBetter]

Would love to get Fogarty but no chance he’s leaving the crows, he’ll be part of a really good forward group at the crows going forward. They’ve got a really good mix of forwards all with plenty of years to develop together.
I’ve been skeptical of Neale being able to make it but I’ve really liked how he’s improved each week since Hawk went out.
It’s the body contact on defenders, making contests etc that have impressed me. Because we need him to do those things in the absence of Hawk to bring other into the game and support the work of the team.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Jonty sprays a lot of kicks.

There's other options around the pick though. Take a Whitlock

Jonty competes hard but I wouldn't say his strengths are kicking or marking. Jonty has been playing forward, he probably would make a very good CHB.

. And that's not an insult, but it also doesn't win premierships.

Yeah I'm moreso just asking if you want to play a key forward on perceived upside would you go for Lord or draft a kid

I would draft a kid

 

[CatToTheFuture]

I don't get the Darcy Fogarty desire? He screams Kent Kingsley. And that's not an insult, but it also doesn't win premierships.

Not exactly an abundance of Jeremy Cameron's to replace Jeremy Cameron with. The attraction is he's potentially free, reasonably capable, a type we don't really have, and we can draft or trade the picks for other needs.

OK, YEp im with you I would draft a kid.

 

[Warhorse]

Forgarty could become a key piece of a good forwardline without being a star himself. I don't think he is going anywhere though
