Draft Expert PMBangers 2024 Draft Thread and psuedo general draft discussion apparently

[GWS Goose]

Some outliers here compared to a lot of media releases.
Probably because you actually watched and rated as opposed to follow the leader.
A lot of mocks have The Giants getting Xavier Lindsey and Taj Hotton. Id lock that in right now if I could take it.

Would be a huge get but agree very unlikely.

I wouldnt be surprised if the Tigs took Hotton with their 3rd pick which will be around pick 12

The even nature of it all makes it hard to predict at the moment.

I've seen about 4 or 5 mock drafts end up with us with both, both could go top 10 or 12 easily as well.

I'd assume Taj would be happy with that given he mentioned Darcy Jones' ACL recovery in a recent interview.

PMBangers - how important is the 2km at the AFL combine in your eyes?

Will Hannaford's time (7:26 time over 2km) cause him to slide down the ranks on draft day?

Did he get on the cans the night before?

 

[THE_GUN]

Anybody got any thoughts on Charlie Richardson
Grandson of Kevin Bartlett KPF played 2 games for metro i believe but was not invited to the combine

Possible Rookie selection ?

I'd be really surprised if he got picked up

PMBangers Ive been watching alot of Dyson Sharp recently. If he was available in this draft currently where would you have him? Obviously he is highly rated but geez he looks good

Yeah quite a bit to like about him but I'd still say he'd be in the 5-10 region

Thanks for that. Curious what he looks like in 12 months time. Great mix of size, speed and aggression for me.

Who would be ahead of him for you?

 

[PMBangers]

Who would be ahead of him for you?

I'd take my top 6 of Smith, FOS, Ashcroft, Lalor, Draper and Lindsay before him

 

[THE_GUN]

Is there an update of your mock soon

 

[Ura]

I'd take my top 6 of Smith, FOS, Ashcroft, Lalor, Draper and Lindsay before him

Why do you have Lindsey held so high? It seems as though you have him rated alot higher then others. Also seems though he is coming into top 10 discussion again aswell

I misread your post.

I thought you were saying that's where you'd have him in his cohort.

 

[PMBangers]

Why do you have Lindsey held so high? It seems as though you have him rated alot higher then others. Also seems though he is coming into top 10 discussion again aswell

it's worth noting first off that I seem to value 'safety' higher than most with rankings, so if I can't think of a reason why a player won't make 200 games I'll bump them up a bit, so Lindsay has probably benefited from that to a degree

But I think he's overall an elite ball user, with great composure and defensive drive, and a very strong contested game. Even away from all that, I struggle to think of a fault in his game, or a trait that will struggle to translate to the next level

I am also on the Lindsay bandwagon, there is more than just one haha

 

[eaglevision]

Agreed on Lindsay. If we can snare him at pick 12 it will literally be the only positive we take away from trade and draft period this year. Unless Travaglia slides.

Standout pick 1 I reckon

PMBangers how does Dodson compare to Goad last year a ruck prospect? Would it be fair to say they have similar attributes and ceiling?

Yeah I'd say so personally, Dodson probably has slightly better football craft outside the ruck contest but apart from that it's similar

Is there anyone who you’d say is a real tough nut type? Not unnecessarily aggro, but really hates losing and will run through a brick wall to win.

The second last name on the list is interesting. What were his parents thinking.

That would be Xavier Lindsay as captain of his side, played in the middle dominated and is a lovely kick but hard at it and goes hard when needed
Sam Lalor loves physicality of the game
