Prediction National Draft 2024

[Walkingwounded]

Incredible how many people just do not understand this.

I think the best way to describe how the actual clubs look at it is to imagine you went back in time say, 10 or 12 years ago and were drafting for your list today, but from the 2013 or 2014 draft, but you knew how good (talented) each player has been in reality since that date.
You wouldn’t pick on needs. You’d just pick the best players one by one and skip over all the guys that turned out to be duds.
All listen managers try to project now, who are going to be those duds.


If Walls thinks there is a 60% chance that Charlie Nicholls makes it but he also thinks the best small forward left has only a 10% chance of making it long term at the level, he’s going to pick the 60% chance every single time. Even if we need a small forward more than a key forward in 2025.

Walls clearly thinks that Nicholl is going to be a superior AFL player than Alger or Boxshall or Clarke, or whoever else was touted on this board at this pick. Thats really all that matters in the end.

Nicholl looks like he would be a great defender… similar draft profile to Alex Pearce!

Freo's Pick 37: Alex Pearce

With our second pick (#37) in the NAB AFL Draft we’ve chosen 18-year-old Alex Pearce from the Devonport Magpies

Fascinated to see if we stick with the Carr commitment or go for someone else now

Id do our f3 for Davis if anyone bites

 

[malpaso]

Hayes a chance ?

 

[freo_leo29]

Bic Mac's brother!

 

[Tonga Bob]

Bidney it is.

 

[DragoDelph]

Swans pass on their own defender, and go for a different one.

 

[freo_leo29]

Swannies got their KPD

 

[Alfonz]

I mean, top 50? Davis flourbags them all over the place

And like I said, Moraes and Gross are even worse. Rookieme has them red flagged with below average disposal, while Davis is yellow flagged for average disposal.

Davis only has average speed, could be another reason nobody wants him.

They keep saying the system is working because clubs aren't matching bids on spuds(allegedly)....

 

[go_the_dockers]

We didn't need to reach though when there were higher rated players available.

Why draft a key position player, when he will never be best 22, and we have good depth in the area.

Outside mid, forward or back flank would have been ok as well. Just not a KPF

Not watching the coverage but how did the the presenters pronounce the surname Ough? Does it rhyme with "cough".

Are Brissy using 60?

We delisted Tabs and Kuek and Corbett retired. So went from 6 to 3 KPFs, two are best 22 and Voss for depth. So makes sense to grab another to develop for the future.

 

[freo_leo29]

are Crows taking Welsh at 59?

 

[pK75]

Bid on Carr, they liked him in mid season draft didn’t they?

 

[FreoMatt]

Hamish Davies and Kayle Gerrynn who?

I must admit I’ve never seen him play but looking at those highlights of Gerrynn, I would have taken him a 200cm ruckman that runs and kicks like a mid and unlike most of his contemporaries he already has a decent build at 18, not a stick

Do we really need to elevate Worner?

 

[freo_leo29]

Do we really need to elevate Worner?

Yeah we do now since we delisted Knobel, need the rookie spots for him and Narkle

 

[s_wd6]

Do we really need to elevate Worner?

If it was written in his contract when he last signed his extension then yeah, we do.

 

[pK75]

Do we really need to elevate Worner?

If we want Narkle we need the rookie spot.

No it ****en doesn't.

It is just unbelieveable stupid.

3 elite KPF's including Jackson, plus Voss as a backup.
No good forward pockets. None. Dealan is our best one, and he plays WAFL reservers.

 

[freo_leo29]

East Freo boy!

 

[freo_leo29]

Nah the real issue is we have promised Narkle and Knobel spots on the rookie list
