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​

The AFL introduced free agency at the end of the 2012 season, giving players another vehicle where they can transfer from one club to another. Free agency is a common form of player movement in major football and sporting codes around the world.

Free Agency Opens: Friday October 4 at 9.00am
Free Agency Closes: Friday October 11 at 5.00pm

Haha, ain't nobody going through the PSD unless they have a desperate desire to go to Richmond.

And in that case, it's because they have PTSD

 

[Lana]

Holy **** did he just say something non trollish and correct

His target audience isn't Geelong supporters

 

[frggr]

So many clubs try to imitate us, but there is only one Geelong Football Club!

 

[calder_daddy]

Why the LOLS calder_daddy + frggr ???
Spill the tea.


Training with Cats’ players?

Because it was funny how it was written. Was written to be funny, so I laughed


Out loud

Will an trade of any kind actually happen today or no? and no FA moving doesn't count unless it is a matched bid that ends in a trade

No

Trade “week and a half” is a joke. They even said on trade radio yesterday that they don’t expect any trades to be done until next week.

I can almost bet with 100% certainty that if trade period was reduced to 3-5 days the exact same amount of trades would be done

 

[Zouz Kitty]

Just the thought of the Dogs board going off about Geelong taking more of their talent, plus my later crack about Des's "marketability"

Love it frggr

Thanks for replying, with your info, read it again + it’s hilarious

Someone needs to coin for what AFL trade radio is.

 

[00VicWard001]

Lol if he’s basing on where he wants to play purely on marketing he can GAGF

It's a funny thing to say.

All players need to ensure they have some sort of fall back or security post AFL.

Pretty sure Selwood didnt go to GC because he was given the keys to the kingdom by Costa etc, and then Ablett made his choice.

While it is nice for it to be a fairytale and players play for the club because they love it, its not true. It's a business and a job. If they get the added bonus of loving their club thats good, but its just a bonus.

The out of contract non free agent situation is strange. It depends a lot on the clubs being reasonable and the player/agent choosing a club they think has the picks to get it done.

But say next year, an in-form SDK decides he must be in the same club as his brother, but Carlton only has pick 20 after compensation and academy picks ( I know the rules may change next year ), no 2nd rounder or future first, would we be happy to lose SDK for pick 20? No but what could we do about it?

This will be something to watch when future trading is opened up as it will get tricky..

E.g Geelong trade 2025 1st 2026 1st and 2027 1st and some seconds for Reid and the following year try to get Cadman for a bunch of nothing picks and 2028 first as they have no picks left in the end GWS get screwed.
Could reverse those two trades with Cadman first and Reid second.

And 100% clubs will line up 2 or 3 massive trade ins year after year and each one they will have less and less to trade so the subsequent trades will be appalling for the clubs losing the players.

This is the problem with players having to much power but that is unlikely to change any time soon hell it may get worse.

I swear to God these journo's read BF and create stories out of it.

It looks like they read Twitter.

From last night:


And this morning on Trade Radio almost word for word:

 

[Gunf]

Hmm i think Rioli's worth is more like 13 and 23 since he is contracted

Uncontracted 13 would be fine with a 3rd coming back

 

[Zouz Kitty]

Lyon’s body language is all over the place. Defensive, arms crossed.
Neck touching indicates insecurities, apprehension, anxiety, worries or issues.
Waving arms around, attempting to dominate.
Hands clasped, not feeling confident.

His ludicrous ‘hypothetical’ that WCE would offer Reid for Smith is hilarious

Going from what some ITKs have been saying about TDKs offer its likely TDK takes a massive deal to Brisbane when OOC. If Carlton are only chasing SDK to keep TDK happy, and SDKs choice is Carlton or Geelong then I'd be willing to bet sdk stays long term

 

[Zouz Kitty]

Yes please. He is one of maybe a dozen players in the entire comp who is exactly what we need, and could make a massive difference to our fortunes immediately.

What’s his current contract status?

I think the suns might consider involving pick 6 but only with a later first coming back

 

[Gunf]

Yeah if Richmond for example get 10 and 18 for Bolton(which is to much) they could do a swap of firsts

 

[CatToTheFuture]

6 and a second for rioli and 10 is about the most I'd sign off on

You may well be right but I was highlighting the broader issue of when the receiving club has a poor draft hand but the quality player is determined to get to that club. Which can also include the situation where the receiving club deliberately trades out their good picks or uses them on another player.

 

[Grimoz]

All other clubs should just stay at home first night of the draft, will only be Richmond picking at this stage

 

[Commando]

Hopefully a couple a Tamblings and Relton Roberts

 

[CoolCat75]

Does Clohesy have to be upgraded, or can he stay a rookie?

As it is, we have 5 senior list spots, and Smith and Martin incoming.
