Here's 2024 Provisional AFL Draft Order

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

Also,

Not sure about that he could have been targeting other players or improving/ swapping picks rather that just the aSmith deal surely!

Yeah, I think he and the recruiting staff are spending time going over and over lists of available players from all around the country. On the Esava trade, I think they already knew about and understood the Humphries situation and probably had a whole bagful of potential names he could pick if available. That's why he pushed hard for those late picks. Most other recruiters stop looking after 2 or 3 rounds.
So I bet he's busy looking for similar possibilities while they wait.

, SOS always going to try to get back players he's previously drafted

SOS was actually a genius.
He used all of the GWS free draft picks / allowances to recruit victorian kids.

Go look at who he drafted.

It was done simply because he knew that 1/2 would want to go home and that there were 10 teams here to fight for the players.
It was just brilliant. Look at Gold Coast if you want a comparison.

Tony Barber · 2024-10-15T17:55:37+1100

Interesting that owies actually trained with us and met wells a year before he was drafted.

He said no, not us.

I get that but clubs are not going to see it that way.

This year has some of the worst value trades imaginable. It's like some teams are rocking up to negotiations unaware what leverage is. Hopefully we do better at 7pm tomorrow with Smith.

Port: 13, 29 and Joe Richards for Dan Houston.
Upgrade from 39 to 36 and 58 to 50.

GC: Future 1st for Lukosius and Atkins (salary dump)

That's essentially the trade on Port's end. Truthfully, still looks miles better than the WC trade.

It's a trash deal.
Basically 13 for a future 1st that could be the same or top ten and luko 29 and Richards for a contracted Houston.
It's also a crap deal for gc.
Robbery for pies.

So Port held out for Pick 50.
Criticised us last year for holding out for late picks.

They learned from us and are now following our scouts to find all the mature aged players in the league.

WCE last three years have been generation wasting. Fremantle 01 bad.

They know they dont need first round draft picks as they are about to an absolute handful in 1 years when Reid leaves.

Knew there was no chance of him getting past our small forward brigade

supahoops · 2024-10-15T18:21:49+1100

No surprise with WC & Poort

after combining to hand us LH. Think we continue out best poker face with BS. CO you’d think I’d done unless there’s some murmurs tonight. Think we start clearing cap space and 3xR1’s for HR if he gives us the heads up for 2027.

That’s an absolute robbery imo pick 23 should had been more than enough for him but pick 6?

Really

hamG · 2024-10-15T18:41:18+1100

I understand the general outrage at teams seemingly fleecing themselves over these recent trades but uhhh we got pick 7 for a future 3rd and salary cap space not that long ago. It still seems ridiculous.

theorised on Tuesday that a massive play for Warner is the only thing that explains the deal that was struck on Tuesday.

The West Coast premiership player wrote on X: “What the hell is happening? As far as I can tell there is a lot of I’ll scratch your back, if you scratch mine.

“Only thing that makes sense. West Coast are all in on Chad Warner

“West Coast land 2 future firsts for 2025 draft for Barrass. They take their top 5 pick next year, package with above 2 and land Warner over Fremantle.”"

Seems very unlikely, but maybe?

frggr · 2024-10-15T19:00:51+1100

Will Schofield reckons it could be a play for Chad Warner. Seems.....unlikely...

I've watched Kemp a bit because people on here wanted to take him draft night instead of Cooper Stephens and I think he is at the same level as Cooper ie not AFL standard. Probably would have been a better player to push out than Owies all things considered.

Haha come on, Kemp is five times the player Stephens is, he’s an actual AFL footballer for starters.

He wouldn't get a game for us. He is big and slow with poor disposal.
