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 Closes: Friday October 11 at 5.00pm

You read that thread on the mainboard? If so you poor bastard

He loves dealing with the super rational Pencil Case

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

I could see 17 & F1 with Bailey and other pics back, but who knows? Letting Bailey go to the draft just to spite the Cats seems like a very unprofessional decision and doesn't seem in the spirit of it all. To do that to a guy who has played for your club would be one of the shittiest things I have ever seen in football. This is the culture under Beveridge.

 

[Turbocat]

I think he goes around 12ish but yes.

It only takes one and the predicted order changes.. and lets face it… CalT waits till the last 48hrs to call it and still only nails the top10 to 15 … my point really is only that the type of players they will be able to select from is a good standard

 

[dont stop me meow]

We well and truly punch above our weight.

Serious question.. does the poor me victim mentality come as part of the standard dogs membership package or do you have to pay extra for that?

Positive he played in GF 21
Not premiership 2016

 

[Tristan34]

i think most of us thinks what the deal will look like 17, 38 or 17, F2 let’s hope it gets done soon. So I will never have to read that Bailey Smith thread ever again

Why would we give a 2nd outright?? It will be a pick swap maybe 38 for 48. I am not even sure it will be that early tbh.

Have any if you heard anything to confirm The Trade Whisperer's announcement?

What’s this announcement?

One good reason for me to stay away really can’t stand that poster

 

[Tristan34]

Draft tampering is a fine line, and there are clubs with multiple picks before our first: Saints, Blues, Suns, Dockers.

How is it draft tampering??? He has said he only wants Geelong...

 

[Cataholic]

What’s this announcement?

That Oliver and the MFC have made their peace, and he's going to commit to them.

 

[Reg Hickey]

Every single Dogs fan I know would rather see him go to the draft than get unders for him. We may lose this time but not long term. We don’t want to be pushed around by wealthy clubs anymore. He hasn’t even got to free agency and we feel we are being screwed by the AFL and the wealthy clubs who are also throughout the media. He is a young gun with 10 years left in the game. But he is an extremely immature narcissist easily lead by money and fame, not necessarily football history.

I get that you probably can't see it...

... but this attitude is EXACTLY why your club is not in the position you want to be. You're not "being screwed" by the the AFL and the "wealthy clubs", you're doing it to yourselves with your whiny victim mentality.

If you want to be a serious club, you need to grow up and take responsibility for where you're at instead of looking for scapegoats to blame.

And taking responsibility for where you're at does NOT include doing clearly stupid stuff out of frustration or spite, like walking Smith to the draft instead of taking a first round pick in a strong draft for a player who has never been AA, has never even been top 3 in a B&F, hasn't played great footy for a couple of years and is coming off an ACL... and instead getting absolutely nothing. That would be a loser move, and only a loser club would make it.

Muppet.... why would you rather get nothing for Bailey Smith, when you could hold your hand out and get a 1st rounder pick...

It's basically like someone giving you $1 million dollars , right now... But you say no i want $2 million, and if i don't get 2 million id rather nothing at all, and we get to keep a Million dollars

I haven’t heard anything recently which I assume means that a trade to us is unlikely which is where it was at last time I posted about it. I certainly haven’t heard that there’s been any significant developments since the D’s b&f. If there’s been speculation to the contrary I’m not sure there’s been any real veracity to it.

Bailey hasn’t won a premiership with us

 

[Strange Cat]

None of them are going to be in a postition to move around the salary cap to pay for a player that doesn’t want to be there

 

[Stan The Caddy]

Still don’t think it will get to that point the deal will get done

17 is unders for Smith but the Dogs would be silly to not just accept it and move on.

 

[Tony Barber]

Maybe one day when the Doggies are playing home games at GMHBA and we are pocketing from them we will be a big club.

Boy they'll hate us even more if that happens.

They'd be hooking us up with some brown paper bag cash to splash.

That's self-sabotage... almost like losing good players deliberately for zero.

"That'll learn um".

The dogs tried that. AFL knocked it on the head.

 

[Stan The Caddy]

Serious question.. does the poor me victim mentality come as part of the standard dogs membership package or do you have to pay extra for that?

You have to pay extra so that way it gives them even something more to whinge about.

 

[Interdimensional Bigfoot]

Oh no, Dee's fans will be coming for me.

 

[PzBlinky]

Big difference is that we offered Sav a contract

Baz isn’t wanted and doesn’t want to be at the club

True. A two-year contract doesn't exactly smack of a club desperate to keep him.

Green posting that lippy Twitter comment gave my "It ain't happening" vibes.

Green would look like the biggest moron ever if he said CO wasn't getting traded at the BNF, then posts about the locker situation and then Oliver is traded.

As good as the Dees are going of late, I wouldn't put it past him... but I think Green thinks it is not happening... and he should know.

Radio silence from Oliver and his manager is the only thing keeping my hopes up.

 

[Zouz Kitty]

Still don’t think it will get to that point the deal will get done

Thanks Bailey

We’re super excited to see you in the Geelong Hoops + wish Bulldogs + their fans success

 

[Strange Cat]

True. A two-year contract doesn't exactly smack of a club desperate to keep him.

Really?

Sav might had wanted more but that’s a pretty standard contract to offer we don’t know what performances conditions were in it

 

[calder_daddy]

What’s this announcement?

 

[Tony Barber]

Big difference is that we offered Sav a contract

Smith was offered a contract.
Show me where Esava was offered a contract.



We are at the point of dominoes now.
Everyone is trying to keep a draft hand whilst trying to achieve trades.
