Here's 2024 Provisional AFL Draft Order

Cheers to Lore for their hard work in setting this up, and making it available for all users on BF to use and keep track of the picks ahead of the upcoming draft - and please practice patience grasshoppers if it's not updated in the immediate aftermath of completed trade





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


Also,

2024 Free Agency Period​

There's a lot of hate for Cornes, but he's right on this one

I think he gets a good bit of hate, purely because his KC

But there's times when you stop & listen to what he's actually saying and he's on the money - if those points were said by someone else, there'd likely be a few more nodding in agreement

You have to watch him in long form format to appreciate KC. I'm a fan

We just signed someone from the Doggies.

… their strength and conditioning guy.

Des O’Sullivan.

Are they going to ask for an extra first round pick in return

 

[Willo_]

You obviously didn’t read this forum last year when esava wanted to get to port

I absolutely did and had the exact same view.... people being idiots about it isn't limited to just other clubs, we have plenty of them here as well

Worked closely with Smith during his rehab?

Dunno, what's Des's marketing value like? Does he look good in undies?

 

[Grimoz]

Hopefully didnt work closely with him before he did his knee

 

[Pure_Ownage]

He is worth the secondary selection, to be honest, but I'd like to see a later pick coming back.

17 and a r2 is fine (if we get a r5 or something back like with humphries it will do).
Future 1st should and will be off limits

 

[Sticksman]

Des O’Sullivan?

Cats appoint High Performance Manager

Geelong Cats have appointed Desmond O’Sullivan as the Club’s High Performance Manager.

He gets a fair bit of hate because he sees everything in footy as very black and white.

When he's right, he's firmly right, but when he's wrong, there's no half-measures.

If the Bulldogs want to be hero’s and play hardball over smith. I am more than comfortable telling them to get stuffed. And using our first pick on him in the national draft. A bit like Collingwood did with Luke ball for memory. We wanted to use that pick on him anyway. So the dogs don’t get it and we don’t give up any extra picks. No one will pick with before us in the first round of a strong draft.

Depends who you ask

According to some Bulldogs fans, Smith has apparently spent the past year at KP which I guess includes his rehab

Great verses...these are what was on Dempsey's wrist..

Isaiah 40:31
but those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.

Psalm 28:7
The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.

Phillipians 4:13
I can do all things through him who strengthens me

Can we please park the religious stuff in some other thread?

Footscray supporters demanding he be walked to the draft.

Footscray supporters demanding he be walked to the draft.

There's at least one supporter over there who understands how it works

all the take of PSD, time for the daily reminder that if it came to it Smith would walk to the national draft. Not the PSD where nobody would go near him with a first rounder and he would get drafted to Geelong using their first

Nah bro they will be using next years first and a couple of 2nds to trade with someone for a F1 this year. Then they will redraft him just before Geelong's pick I am told

 

[CatRiot]

Yeah Stringer as third banana behind Hogan and Cadman

Not sure where that leaves Riccardi though

Down at the Cattery

 

[Reg Hickey]

Sam Power drawing a long bow citing Smiths marketability in trade negotiations
Not sure I've ever seen that lever pulled to increase a players trade value

It smacks of desperation IMO.

"Marketability" surely has zero influence in the club's desire to trade for him, or the value they would place on him in a trade. It's simply Power trying to grasp at anything he can to pump the value.

I'll tell you what is marketable, winning flags.

I’m not kidding

Go Catters
