Prediction National Draft 2024

[Arcassius]

It's the double whammy of juuust missing out on a need followed immediately by picking someone surplus to needs.

I'm sure Reid'll be a fine player who will settle in to the lifestyle here but it's hard not to be disappointed that we didn't do more to trade up for Berry knowing he would've rounded off the list nicely.

Who knows what we tried to do to move up - it's all academic in the end

 

[Polo342]

If only Shanahan could make it to our second now!!

 

[freo_leo29]

It’s funny how the board loved the Simpson pick last year, yet Reid will instantly go ahead of him and play across half forward next year but it’s no good.

I think people are only worried about his homesickness

Cooper last year had already said he'd be a docker for life by this point

 

[freo_leo29]

Imaigne North trade their F1 for Armstrong here

 

[mattis117]

Lmao who is this bloke talking? NFI, Port were selecting before us either way

No, clearly you don't understand. We offered to trade for West coasts pick so they picked up the phone to Port and said, hey Freo want your guy, we'll give him to them unless you give us a pick and don't take Allen.

I'm happy with him. Looks classy and smart. We need more of that.

 

[Piggy Smalls]

Reid's highlights look great. Composed in traffic and skilled by foot. Looks to have great vision and high footy IQ. He also won Vic Metro's MVP award.
Can any of the naysayers already writing him off please clarify why he would be surplus to needs? We don't have a player like this apart from Young, and I'm on the record as saying we could use three of him.

Imaigne North trade their F1 for Armstrong here

Tigers got him

Such a weird outcome

 

[Jezzitizle]

Vision and decision making reminds me of Young. Very rapidly sums it up and does something good with it. Great pick up, compliments our other mids.

That is true, his highlights look a lot better than Simpson's. He probably will be playing ahead of him next year...

Who are the next group of small forwards?

 

[Heave Ho Bro]

Has anyone figured out who this John Longmuir fella is and what role he has at the club?

 

[apuchar]

Different circumstances.
Seb was always going to play

This guys gonna be waiting a while for his chance.

Our F50 pressure stunk,
Now we’ve added a slow HHF who’s had question marks around his pressure.

JLs gonna loath to play him

Hopefully I’m wrong and he’s a gun and you can let me know all about it

You might be right. But it's a bit early. We badly need footy IQ and he has it in spades.

Look I will say he and his dad knew all the right things to say to try and hide their dissapointment

It wasn't Cerra or Murphy bad though. There's hope.

 

[Vimal Anand]

I look forward to Carlton screwing us on a trade for him in 3 years time

Reid is a Richmond fan , I think

Adam Cerra like situation

 

[freo_leo29]

Another WA in the first round!

Cody Angove bolter

 

[Ge3ks]

From the AFL draft tracker;

Murphy Reid

A midfielder-forward who has speed to burn which allows him to burst away from congestion and use the ball with precision. Reads the game exceptionally well, is a prolific ball winner and creative and innovative when in congestion. Was outstanding at the National Championships, averaging 24.5 disposals (9.2 contested), 3.2 clearances and 3.2 tackles across the four matches which included dominant displays against South Australia and the Allies. Was rewarded by winning Victoria Metro’s MVP award as well as All Australian honours. Was also a star at club level, averaging 21 disposals and kicking 14 goals in 10 matches for the Sandringham Dragons. Capped the year with his second Coates Talent League premiership and selection in the Team of the Year.

How many small forwards do they need?

 

[Bastyy]

I wanted Angove

 

[s_wd6]

Does the draft start earlier tomorrow or just run a lot later?

 

[freo_leo29]

Poor Cody

Probably had a draft watch night setup for tomorrow night and now won't get to do it!

Because apparently we have a surplus in the mids since we have Erasmus, the guy who hasn’t played a single really quality AFL game. Nuffies.

 

[Quazar2]

Far out, nearly 30 picks for Round 1?!?! The AFL is ridiculous.

On another note, welcome to the west Murphy!
