Prediction National Draft 2024

[jerms]

This almost feels like a Sebit replacement on the list, in terms of being a uniquely fast/agile tall project player.

Plus I take the point a few have raised about our surprising lack of deep KPF depth.

 

[gaskin]

lol, hawks take battle and Barrass then take another KPB

Barrass is old.

 

[pK75]

There goes Gerreyn

 

[Lach72]

moraes gone to Poort

 

[BeinPurplenGreen]

May you live in interesting times.
This is definitely . . . Interesting
Can’t hurt I suppose, someone genuinely big who can clunk em. Looks to have good mits.

Big mitts ey?

 

[Van_Dyke]

We did need another KPF on the list (particularly with what just happened to Jones) just not one with our top pick and not one from Vic.

Seems like a nice little development project

yeah agreed makes sense but didn’t expect that much capital on one, especially when we’d been linked to Clarke a fair bit

 

[s_wd6]

when's our next pick

 

[_007_]

I think I'd have liked Gerreyn a bit more but we did need a KPF developing away.

 

[Van_Dyke]

when's our next pick

62

Jaren Carr at 62

Carr is a lock I'm pretty sure, probably stopped us loading up on another HBF for this year and it might be Whan's best spot at AFL level as well

 

[Benno111]

Any talk of us trading up?

 

[DQ 4EVER]

Both picks are eastern staters as well.

Kelm def coming as a HBF?

 

[s_wd6]

What does Carr play? Doesn't excite me much

 

[Wabjub]

This draft I reckon would have had the freo war room fuming. Think we had all the players we gunning for taken literally just before our picks.

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

No idea why we would take Carr when he has played reserves all year...

Remember Lawson Humphries play seconds for Swans now first 18 for Geelong

 

[Polo342]

Remember Lawson Humphries play seconds for Swans now first 18 for Geelong

how often does it happen though :/

 

[E Shed]

With that goal kicking maybe (as some have said already) he is the Alex Pearce

understudy.

If he’s got the game sense then maybe with his speed & marking he can be a fullback that runs out of defense like Pearce?

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Some of you guys just do not get it.
You don’t start with a list of positions you need to fill and just pick whatever neatly ticks that box, you scout by talent always. Thank god we don’t have Bigfooty posters running the place and picking whatevers ‘required’ inevitably glossing over future stars of the game.

Thankfully David Walls does get it and has knack for spotting out gems and does so every year in spite of Freo fans melting every year. Our drafting has been by far the best part of our operations for yonks now. Think we’ve got a couple more good ones this year too

 

[BettercallSaul]

We still may take Carr as a rookie?

 

[Silversurfer]

What if we see him as a back?

That's exactly what he is. Moose replacement with more pace than Ollie Murphy.

 

[s_wd6]

We still may take Carr as a rookie?

No space. Narkle and Knobel already locked in.
