Prediction National Draft 2024

[Ge3ks]

Brisbane have the following picks after adding already Ashcroft and Marshall:
46,47,49,56,59,66,69

I would target one of their early picks using an F3.

None of those are early picks.
Maybe you could call them less late picks.

Upon further research it appears Murphy Reid is friends with Ollie Murphy and has talked to him about his experiences moving over to Perth.
Referencing Gettable episode from July 3rd.

Wasn’t Ollie Murphy also a Vic Metro MVP?
Seems like we are trying to break the VM hoodoo.

 

[Moo]

It’s odd to me that the Vic metro MVP can slide to pick 17 unless he just played out of his skin for a few matches. Any knocks on him apart from the conjecture about his pace?

It’s just a numbers game someone had to slip.

Top 11 players taken were all just a which order do they fall throw in Faull going early …..we were always going to have 5 pretty good options to choose from.

Once Faull fell …..I was happy - Berry, Allan or Reid …..it was an autopilot pick.

I'm still annoyed that Tigers held out for that 11 and then bloody took a bolter

They could've kept their F3 and we could've kept 11 for Berry - win/win

At 17 you grab the microphone and pretend you’re not about to scream the campaigner’s name out.

The only reason Wallz couldn't yell the name out as soon as the timer started was because they just opened the line to the buffet.

 

[freo_leo29]

Jeez I'd like Davis to slip to our 34, Davis for Henry aint seem so bad tbh

 

[thistimeforsure]

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.

Pends what you think our main problems are and I think it’s high end grunt and our pressure is diabolical so burning all 3 1sts on this kid and Bolton has done less than zero to address any of that in fact we will be worse

Well the players we already have can't expect others to do their dirty work for them. The pressure and grunt needs to come from everyone.

Brisbane have the following picks after adding already Ashcroft and Marshall:
46,47,49,56,59,66,69

I would target one of their early picks using an F3.

They’ve only got four list spots left. Two of those are committed to redrafting rookies, whilst I’m pretty sure they’re taking Sam Day in the PSD.

Seems very likely some of those picks are being given away quite cheaply.

If I were them I’d target the teams picking from 41-45. See if anyone is tempted to get an extra draft pick for moving one or two spots down the draft order.

F3s once they’ve moved up as far as they can.

What a BS system this is btw - This is all possible whilst getting Ashcroft whilst winning the flag and trading out nothing but a F2 and a fringe mid.

 

[MakeshiftMartyr]

Obviously disappointed to miss out on Berry, but Reid does look extremely classy. Could be like having a second Young in a few years. The way he moves like everyone else is in slow-motion makes me think it's time to dust off the old #16.

Absolutely spewing GWS took Angove so early, especially when they've got Greene, Daniels, Jones and now Hannaford as well.

Hoping for Clarke or Davis tomorrow, could live with taking a Shanahan and Gerreryn if they're still there and we're comfortable with the small options later.

 

[Wee Jessies]

Will say that's pretty *ing hilarious by WC. Love a good old fashioned targeted * over.

Like when we convinced Richmond Baker was worth pick 14 and West Coast had to split 3 to get it? That kind of thing?

 

[poshman]

We just keep winning! Looks creative and can play forward. Simpson and Reid pressing for places on the HFF or small forward. Pleased with that! What an off season.

Payback for that yeah. Though it does seem a little less targeted if old mate phil has any truth to what he was saying

Sorry I got to your second post on this a bit later, late to the party tonight. Certainly seems like we were ok to get any one of those three. I guess there is less pressure as you didn't have a choice on which one you get.

 

[Ysaye]

Late to the party but I had previously argued that we should sit and wait and see what falls out of the Top 10 as others get greedy for list balancing. That has happened and Reid has become available where previously I thought he was no hope to at our pick (For me he was an entrenched Top 10 on talent and potential). So I am happy with the strategy, I think we got much better value than a pick 14 excluding F/S deserved.

Whether he can be amazing or not will be down to a heap of other factors but from watching the U18 championships I think he brings a differentiator from many of our other players by being a super smart forward of centre player and able to deliver to dangerous forward positions combined with being a good runner.

No player we took this draft was going to be a walk in "best 22" (not even if Lalor would have been) but honestly if we had to learn anything from this season just gone is that you need a firing and talented best 30. There is a good chance he will be "very useful" in the seasons to come.

I would love if we did the same for pick 33ish as I think already there is some crazy good talent that probably won't fit a list need still sitting on the table at that point (My mind in particular screams Hamish Davis - how can he still be on the table!?!?!), but my gut tells me that we may draft for positional needs a bit more.
