Trade period / National Draft 2024

[_RT_]

 

[richoatthedisco]

Think I'm at the point where I'd consider it if it's pick 2 and our boy is gone

The only issue with that is the picks we'd want to trade for might have been traded away already. But in principle, yes. I reckon if FOS is gone I'd rather have picks 5 and 10 than pick 2. Good chance Lombard and Ashcroft would go 2 and 3, or at least in the top 5. I'm not big on Guy Smillie, would rather say Allan and Reid if we can't have FOS.

What can you share on Faull mate? I cant find much.

In my view he’s a traditional KPF with above average ability to quickly read the flight of the ball and react; and above average body work and strong hands. A strong contested mark.

His body type does make me think he can add some muscle without too much worry.

He’s not too bad at ground level either; but I have my doubts whether that will ever become a strength.

My biggest concern watching him is athleticism; and being able to get off the lead quickly. At 195cm; the concern for me is that at AFL level the taller KPBs with elite closing speed will make it hard for him.

Reminds me of Logan Morris (although Faull is a bit taller). Will be interested to see the combine testing results to see if it backs up the eye test.

I have Jobe Shanahan and Harry Armstrong (the latter to be fair was more based on his return against SA) ahead. I’m not as high on the Whitlock twins as others, but they would also be in the discussion too.

Future first has to be off limits. Could be pick 1. If there was a dustin martin this year then sure but don't think there is.

SA kid supposed too be better than this years

What about Tom Simms?
He's the other one I keep hearing mentioned.

tigs2010 richoatthedisco finally a mock where we land FOS

 

[Drunken Wookie]

Show us what you’ve got FOS

I love that thats his initials

 

[jthanos]

We need another pick between 2-10 and another between 11-20. How is that going to happen ??

Can't give the bloke any credit, he still has Smillie at 1.

 

[RockJobster0312]

I have him mid-30s in my rankings.

I quite like him, he ticks a lot of the physical boxes. Good size, good leap and fluid mover. He has great hands and similar to CCJ (although more of a fluid athlete) he seems to have a knack for reaching the ball at the highest peak.

I also really like the work rate, and being willing and able to push up the ground to provide an option (not just down the line stuff) for the backs when exiting D50.

Similar to CCJ however, he probably lacks genuine forward craft. He also is limited at ground level in my view. I don’t think that he will ever project as a #1 ruck at AFL level (and isn’t one for Metro) so if he can’t develop that forward nouse he probably projects as a limited #2 option forward.

If he can develop that nouse, he could well be a very dangerous forward.

Looks very very good.

Can somebody tell me why getting FOS is so good?

Our problem is short weak midfielders that can’t take a mark or stick a tackle and people want to get another player like that. I don’t get it.

Smillie is the best that’s why north will pick him. 190cm+ strong midfielders are gold.

FOS is a fantastic mark, much better than Smillie, who is poor overhead. He's also tougher and harder at the ball. Everything about your post is wrong. Give yourself an uppercut.

Best mids in the comp are between 180-187 with the exception of maybe 3-4
FOS is 182 if you look at the height listings but chances are he has probably grown or will 1-2cm and end up around 184cm

I just want a player that can football and has good speed good kick and great footy IQ

Would love a FOS/Lalor double

Surely a taller Logan Morris is just what the doctor ordered for our forward line?

huge risk of being a man child bully at this level and being a mediocre afl player. doesn't have any real elite traits imo.

I’m a fan of Harry Armstrong, moves really well. Reckon he’d be golden if we could snag him in the second round

So it will only take six years of him not getting a game for posters here to stop calling for us to trade for him?

I see a tough, clean, elite decision maker who is good overhead & has quality disposal. Strong character too. Love to see him in the yellow & black

 

[SumTingWong]

As I have mentioned on the podcast a few times, we absolutely love Jonty Faull. Sam Lalor fast rising and likely one of our selections.

Ahead of FOS?
