Analysis Western Bulldogs 2024 Mock Draft

[TiAn_]

I’m fine either way. I’m not sure what is rumoured, but maybe 6 & 11?

Hoges64 how about it

 

[Hoges64]

Hoges64 how about it

Dodo / Mackie: If I'm giving up 2 for 6 + 11 I want a future second and a future fourth and I won't budge.

Any other list manager: Yep, sounds fair enough to me.

Gold Coast: Would you like our Pick 4 and a player to go with it?

But yes, I'm ok with that...

 

[CaptainMurphy]

Essendon & GWS, literally my two most hated teams. This will be a powerful exercise in empathy.

You poor bastard....

 

[weltschmerz]

So TiAn_ has picks 1 and 2 to start us off?

Yep, Hoges64 now you get another pick to play around with

"Essendon pass on Kako, instead taking Christian Howard with our first pick"

I’m waiting for the angry Richmond supporters to come in and complain like I’ve seen them everywhere else

Surely that's why we do this

I mean Richmond are the easiest just pick half the top 20 and you're bound to get atleast 5 right.

I'll bet that's what they thought in 2004 also...

 

[CaptainMurphy]

Number of picks expected for each team, according to Cal Twomey:

2 - Adelaide, Hawthorn
2-3 - Gold Coast
3 - Collingwood, Fremantle, Melbourne, North
3-4 - Brisbane, Geelong, Port, Sydney, West Coast
4 - Carlton, Essendon, GWS
4-5 - Western Bulldogs
4 or more - St Kilda
6-8 - Richmond (looking to trade 1-2 picks to 2025)

 

[TiAn_]

Cheers - will post my first picks tonight, in about an hour or so.

Pick 1 - Richmond - Sam Lalor
GWV Rebels, 188cm Midfielder

He projects as a big, strong, goal kicking inside midfielder eventually, somewhere between Rayner and Petracca. But he’s also already a versatile forward half player that will impact in multiple ways in that part of the ground from day one, including defensively. With Dusty and Bolton out the door, there should be a spot for Lalor at half forward in the Tigers side from Rd 1 next year.

In my view, the upside on Lalor is higher than the others in the group of mids at the top of this draft. And he has the runs in the board this year.





Pick 2 - Bid for Levi Ashcroft (Lions F/S)

Munnez

 

[dogwatch]

You aren't mean enough TiAn_

With picks 1 and 2 you could have got the same player but made Munnez pay a higher price for Ashcroft. Just by reversing the order of your 1-2.

Nice guys finish last. That's why you and I are shitkickers and Trump is a billionaire.

Pick 2 - Bid for Levi Ashcroft (Lions F/S)

Munnez

For the record: Brisbane will need to use picks 27, 34, 42, 43 with 4.4 points left over

Haha I considered it, but the Tigs are selling bulk hopium to supporters based on this draft and I think they’ll value touting the player taken #1 over making the Lions pay full price.

 

[Mojorisin]

For the record: Brisbane will need to use picks 27, 34, 42, 43 with 4.4 points left over

Will leave things in an interesting position for Marshall.

They've got 756.4 points total remaining to use, which is enough to match pick 25. And that should improve with the Kako bid. They're probably fine, and can just go into a small deficit next year if not.

What does that leave Lions with after that lot

48, 59, 65, 95 by my reckoning

 

[Mojorisin]

48, 59, 65, 95 by my reckoning

If they used 4 picks to match wouldn't that bring all their picks forward 3 spots?
