Game Day The 2024 Draft Day Thread

[Keys]

Draft Day is here

Unlike last year when the excitement of adding No.1 pick Harley Reid to our list was palpable (and also near certain), this draft is uncertain and viewed with equal parts excitement and trepidation

We go into the first night with pick 12, which is expected to slide to 15 after academy and Father Son selections and a lot of guesswork on who we’ll take. Or even if we actually use that pick with rumours circulating that we might trade up or back

Night two we have pick 26 (subject to change) along with a gaggle of late picks. Again, there’s the possibility of trading into the draft with another pick using one of our later future picks and even less certainty on who we might pick

The one near guarantee is that NGA product, Malakai Champion, will be an Eagle at some point over the next couple of days

So sit back and watch to see how the draft unfolds whilst praying we don’t do something stupid

Well there goes Jagga. RIP #3 it’s who I wanted.

Guys, I have a Gillette Fusion ready for when we do silly things (like trade pick 3 for Baker)

A bloke who’s been out of school for 12 months and put on **** all size?

Smith will be like Sam Walsh lite. Hit the ground running.

Assume all clubs being told take full 5 mins, so they can get through media BS. Surely pick 1 is instantly inputed

 

[greatwhiteshark]

We better take a midfielder

 

[LewyBroome]

North setting themselves up to lose one of their budding stars in the next 5 years. Unless they know LDU might be on the move

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Right so we agree that it’s Jagga? When we’re bemoaning the players from 3-11 that become good, knowing full well we could only have drafted one of them, we’re settling on Jagga?

That’s who we melt about when he becomes good, not all of them at once right?

100% clubs aren't getting 3 picks into the draft and going:

Draper was the guy

100% I would have taken Jagga as FOS was off the board. I will melt over Jagga carving up in Navy Blue instead of the Royal Blue.

 

[MaxHunt]

Which one is Phil's Dad?

 

[Schtinker]

 

[Ghossein]

there's no media spotlight on the rookie draft and they just fly through it

 

[Doashuey]

Any fear of making the premiers pay something for their AFL gift?
FMD you plebs.

 

[Proeagle]

Lets see if hes correct.

 

[Keys]

So finally a bid for Ashcroft

 

[UseR2006]

Finally the bid on Ashcroft

 

[random260]

Please please tigers.

Pick a kpf or Berry
Pick bo allen

 

[Doashuey]

Dees take the pick straight away, you would think its Ashcroft and they will take their full 3min for their actual pick.
