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

Yeah, we have to assume if the club are bringing Smith & Oliver in, then they've done their due diligence.

If that's the case and it's mostly smooth sailing for them, I'm finding it pretty hard to see us missing the eight barring a horrific injury run, which isn't something you can really hold against the club either if things don't work out.

Comfortable with the future first in that regard. Pick 16 next year for instance isn't going to make or break our future.

Might actually allow us to get a free agent for 'free' for once too with our lack of capital.

We've said all year that we've done our fair share of drafting and developing with youngsters lately.

Not everyone will make it of course, but we've done a fair bit of future proofing over the last 5 years, and in particular the last 3 years.

Probably time to go all in once again.

This has been the plan all along. As I’ve said Oliver the target and the story always was that we are happy to move the 2025 out so we can get a free agent for free. And then focus on you know who in 2026…

Mystery Mid locked and Loaded.
Petrecca wants Oliver out, Oliver is to be punted. Melb trying to avoid embarrassing pay day. Club is in total turmoil.
Club wanting full clarity on Oliver before Baz nominates, as we might not have picks to give if they are gone
Melb have lawyers on speed dial re oliver, wanting to exit contract. Afl wants this buried, and i smell a rat. The media are selling plebs rubbish - its up to you if you are a pleb.
TK the wags in WA dislike his wife, turns up to functions and dumps kids
TK no longer getting the wraps he was a GFC, and in a poor team is a waste/ His spending means he needs another big $$$. WCE and Freo not interested in paying overs. Mrs was disruptive with players like Cockatoo

We will be active and Baz is done, its all about afl theatrics
Oliver needs a minder, and excess training

The Mystery MidTM product line will be out for christmas

As much as we love the pisstake of it, Oliver is anything but a mystery mid.

Credit where it's due, we've had people on here who have been saying it for months. year of the cat & FishGutz in particular.

Do we really want a player whose teammates actively want him gone? Who is known to be an absolute flog off the field? There are a lot of idiots in footy, and our club has its fair share I'm sure. But this isn't your ordinary idiot. This is toxic levels of dickhead. His form was also crap this year. He and his form on and off the field would be a big reason Melbourne plummeted this year.

It's not the draft pick cost I'd be concerned about so much as it is the price tag in salary and the potential ramifications for harmony.

As much as I love a mahlepi special Oliver is irrelevant to currency for Smith as Oliver won't be costing high picks and Smith will be.
 
This thread is hilarious 😹
If you can be bothered + have a few minutes to spare.

Some very salty Dees’ fans + Cats’ supporters sticking it to them.

Dees want Parfitt included in Oliver trade 😹

“Knowing the AFL they will probably pay his wage and give the Cats pick 1 as well.” 😹

“If not they will get either a state or federal government handout to cover it” 😹

“and dont forget the millions they got from tax payers for the new stand.” 😹

“aww someone doesn't like the way Geelong operates and keep contending.” 😻

+ so it continues 😹 😹 😹

Yeah, exactly. No mystery mid this time. Appreciate the credit by the way. People often call it out when things change and you’re wrong but when you’re onto it early they’ll chalk it up to luck or ignore it.

Also, it’s got me thinking that’s why Davies re-signed, as he might’ve been feeling like he’s coming to compete against an absolute elite version of himself in Oliver.

So far from linked players, the only surprise has been Jack Martin, not because we have been linked to him but I just didn’t receive that intel.

If we can pull off Smith, Oliver and Martin, I would say it will genuinely be our best offseason of acquiring players ever or at least equal to the years of Dangerfield and Jezza. I know there’s risk with all three but the upside is insane. Smith has the potential to be a top ten player in the league. Oliver was - for one season - the best player in the league. People in here forget that. We aren’t talking about a good midfielder, we are talking about a guy who was genuinely the best player in the competition for a year. Getting them in is so hard, we should be thankful for all his complications and difficulties as it allows this very real possibility and I believe he seems like an alright guy. Just went off the rails a bit and reminds me of a lot of mates I’ve known over the years who were able to pull it back in after a couple years of blowing out. And as for Jack Martin, he’s a goal scoring small forward. You can never have too many. If we can get him fit, the way he would link with Jezza and Stengle would be ridiculous.
