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​

Free Agency Closes: Friday October 11 at 5.00pm

Ted is lucky, early reports had him not getting another contract. Thought he might become steak knives in the smith deal.

He was emergency in our prelim. Could have played in the grand final if we hung on.

He was never getting delisted.

Trade week should honestly be 3 days...And the clubs meet and negotiate prior as they literally do already.

2 weeks is more about revenue than anything.

My entire lunch break is over and all i got to listen to on the trade radio app is how amazing continental tyres are....

Spotify break down all the days content into sound bites of a few minutes each on a given topic. You can skip everything and just listen to the things that are relevant. Which is not a lot.

 

[Tony Barber]

This thread and the multitude of posts without a single gun being fired, Jack Martin not worthy of the gun at this stage, is testament to that premise (there was an ESPN show called the jump that fired a cannon on every free agent signing one year which is where the gun reference comes from).

AFL just needs to somehow find a way to fill the December to January graveyard and it will be a 24/7 365(6) days a year entertainment product like the NBA.

I was wondering last night where you were.
Haven't seen you in ages. Hope you're well.

Youre telling me... Instead of listening to continental tyre adds for 6 hours, people can listen to the same information in between in five minutes of streaming?

 

[geelong_crazy26]

Speaking of the relevance of trade period, should i go a continental tyre?? Im due for a full tyre change soon

You just sit through the one ad at the start which you can actually just skip

 

[The_Todd07]

Channel 10 news going with Clayton still wants to be a Cat and the Melbourne playing group wants him out

Melbourne wants a first round pick and us to pay the whole contract.

Tell them their dreaming

“CONTINENTAL TYRES!! Quality.. Anddddd PERFORMANCE!!”

If he wants to put the heat on and get outta there, he is going to have to really kick up a fuss to melbourne. Taking a backseat is going to end up with Melbourne bullying him and walking all over him with this one.

He needs to go in and say “ i am out, i dont want to be here” but to melbourne and publicy.

If he is happy to stay but prefers geelong, then melbourne arent going to budge unless its overs no other club will want to do.

If he wants out, he needs to really be brave and make a fuss

 

[cats_09]

Also opens the door for him to return interstate

He could do that regardless - just need to look at Rioli & Bolton at Richmond

 

[frggr]

Humphries should have been given 5.

Not a good deal for him.

2 years, improve his value, sign again for bigger dollars or a move back home

It's up to Melbourne not us. If they want him gone they know what they need to do

If that is what they want it explains Mackie going nope and moving on

Tbh i don't even know what the ads are because i don't listen to them

I also wouldn't put it on him. It's up to Melbourne

 

[Gunf]

I haven't listen to any trade radio except a few clips put on here as i already know 99% is a waste of time

 

[CatToTheFuture]

The one year makes sense.

We want him out of the conversation for trade offers next year and he I think expects to feature heavily in the BnF and get a more substantial offer.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

I actually think thats all fair.

Won't happen. But fair.

Not really.

Barrass leaving for unders.
Baker leaving for overs.

 

[Grimoz]

He could do that regardless - just need to look at Rioli & Bolton at Richmond

Difference being Rioli is 27 and Bolton 26 and have won premierships so lack motivation, Lawson will only be 23 in 2026 and will still be hungry.

 

[frggr]

I'm bored of it now.

Wouldn't you say you were tyre-d of it?

Rim shot

This joke bought to you by Continental Tyres

Man the Dees decision makers would be under insane pressure right now. Everyone there wants him gone, he wants to go, the AFL want him out of the Dees, but there is no scenario with that contract they get more than a 1st and some change. Which will outrage Melb fans and probably send the footy media into a Randy Marsh-esque styled melt when news breaks the Cats have traded a future 1st for Clayton Oliver.

But which tyre brand will you choose when your car needs new shoes?

We won't use a first unless Melb are paying half that contract or close to it

A lot of the bullshit media reps reporting on the trade period could have been prevented with a good rubber…

 

[Gunf]

Sydney knocking back pick 62 for Parker was expected Sydney probably wat a pick around 40 at least
