National Draft 23 - after this year we all need therapy

[Timothy Luncheon]

We still have that.
2nd rnd Freo, 3rd Rnd Freo, 3rd rnd WC, 4th rnd Essendon, 4th rnd Port.

Matt Clarke pretty much confirmed what we already suspected. The intent is to trade up in the draft with those picks to clubs needing points for F/S or academy bids next year.

Thanks

Apparently Schoenmaker is the one at the top of our draft board. Makes sense with Yze's request for good kickers.

You get some great info Grockadoc but maybe scratch this source off your list.

Maybe Yze didn't know Arie loves the Ouzo.

 

[AstuteTiger]

Smart by us, strengthened our 2024 draft hand. We expect freo and eagles to be bottom 6.

We now have 1 first-rounder. 2 second-rounders inc freos 2nd. 3 X 3rd rounders ours, freo and eagles. Plus 3 fourth-rounders, ours Ports and Bombers. We have a lot of draft capital to do deals for teams needing points for academy and father-son's.

Funnily enough, the person who told me this had us taking McAuliffe with our second pick...

 

[jesterx]

afl will be seething that we made a mockery of their stupid draft trading a shite load of picks for futures

will be a very gloomy morning at afl house tomorrow morning as they try to work out how to stop us

Why put off till tomorrow what you can do today.

 

[Maurice Mitchell]

How great is it to wake up today knowing we have pick 7.

I'm excited.

Aged well.

 

[Maurice Mitchell]

ZZ Top,
George Stevens

() = picks based on 2023 ladder positions

Fair to say that we've managed to turn a rather poor starting position into a strong position for the 2024 Trade/Free Agency and Draft period.

Plenty of flexibility to package up picks for better picks or to target players at the trade table. As I said during this years trade period TRUST THE PROCESS. It's how we built the premiership teams and it is how we will become a contender again sooner rather than later.

Yup the Rock on which the RFC still stands...the Draft Selection Team...bolstered by B.G. and Balmey!

are they sure?

I guess doesn’t matter as it’s a Norf father son either way

 

[Muddiemoose]

Any word on Naish?
Did he even nominate

jayne clarke is like the mouthpiece scats and pies turn to when they want a rule change

 

[Frank Grimes]

Lol. The Pies want the bidding system changed. How did they get Nick Diacos again?

 

[Pattiger]

Any word on Naish?

He has signed with the Carlton VFL side

Pies and Cats clearly have highly rated Academy kids next year

said from the start he was an outside soft spud like his bro and got shot down

good to see I was right

 

[Meteoric Rise]

The narrative of rule changes coming in next year around academy / points matching and how that will work against our 2024 pick haul may be off the mark.

Could be wrong but any rule change would mean clubs have to pay a "fairer" value, so maybe their discounts will be reduced?

That would mean they need to accumulate more picks and that can only work to our advantage. Either way, I can't see how having more picks can work against us.

On a separate note, Matt Clarke turning 35 into 40 + two future picks - if that was another club the same people criticising him would be praising the opposition list manager.

Any rule changes would surely have to be applied from 2025 so as not to adversely affect teams who have traded future picks in good faith around the current rules. Or some other way would need to be found to compensate these teams. Otherwise it would be a complete farce - cue usual AFL farcically corrupt scenes.

That’s a really good point.

us trading for so many futures broke the afl last night

they are in damage control this morning and have loaded up all their media cronies and their favourite clubs pies and scats with "this has gotta stop we need to change"
