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

Our club are smart enough to trust quality young players once they've done their VFL development. I think they would pick Clark ahead of Kennedy even if he's less physically developed. But that also suggests it's a bit pointless paying up for our new Mitch Hardie.

Injuries happen. Form loss happens. Unexpected breakouts happen.

Every club needs depth, and our midfield could use some.

When does their “vfl development” end? And can you predict when that is going to happen? I know I can’t, and I reckon our club would be smart enough to acknowledge that they dont have the exact answers either. And because of that you need as many options as you can realistically get.

We are currently playing our 5x all Australian half back (selected there as recently as last season) in the midfield because of our lack of options in that area. It is fair to say that we could use some help in the midfield. Regardless of whether our young mids are ready soon.

Geelong is set to hand Patrick Dangerfield the two-year deal he's been chasing.

CATS SET TO BOW TO DANGERFIELD DEMAND
Patrick Dangerfield will secure the two-year deal he wants at season’s end despite the rarity of a 34-year-old winning a multi-year contract.

Dangerfield has been keen to sign a deal of that length but is in no hurry given the priority is his premiership campaign as Geelong captain.

The Cats and his management are happy to wait until the post-season so he can show to the club his body is durable enough for him to win a multi-year deal.

While Dangerfield is not on the lucrative figures that he was when he crossed from Adelaide he is happy to have the security of that two-season contract.

Dangerfield arrived at Geelong happy to take less money than offers in Melbourne and while the Cats eventually traded for him instead of securing him as a free agent it has been a riotously good deal for both parties.

If he decided at the end of next year to retire he might walk away from the 2026 sum but when fully fit Dangerfield still seems at the peak of his powers and in no hurry to call it quits.

Martin would be another Sam Blease, talented but can't stay on the park long enough to ever fullfill it, just not a list fit either.

That is one of the stranger comparisons I’ve ever seen. Blease closer to Josh Cowan than Jack Martin in talent. Martin was a super talent.
 
Happy with two for Danger. He has had a great year. If we get 30 more games out of him it will be worth it. More time playing forward with B.Smith here.
 
Told you this last week but got laughed out of hereabout Jack Martin

Why?!

Because it makes a good story -

Geelong is exploring a move for delisted Carlton forward Jack Martin as part of plans to help keep the Cats in premiership contention next year.

Martin looks a certain to find a new home next season with the Cats set to join Fremantle in the race for the 29-year-old.

Geelong has specialised in its mature-age recruiting missions over the past two decades and are eyeing Martin as a talented forward who could immediately add to their forward mix.

But he will have to pass a medical assessment after struggling with injuries in his five-year stint at Carlton which yielded only three senior games this season.

Discussions about his future will ramp up over the next week as the Cats prepare for a preliminary final against Brisbane Lions on Saturday night.

Martin would be a like-for-like replacement for Gary Rohan who could be delisted by the Cats at season’s end.

The Cats are unafraid to take risks on mature age players and boast one of the best medical and high-performance programs in the league led by Steve Saunders.

Martin believes he has several seasons of senior football in him despite struggling with a calf issue at times this year.

How do they measure it being riotously good for Adelaide? One GF appearance and then wilderness?
 
I can't see how Jack Martin gets a run in our forward line.

Surely we are not keen on him.
