Analysis Western Bulldogs 2024 Mock Draft

Curious, do we know who didn't?

Hawthorn because they don’t have picks around his pegging, although either does Geelong, and a few other.

DiamondDogs8 pair of picks for the Saints

With Pick 9 St Kilda select Harvey Langford, joint-Larke Medallist and big bodied midfielder from Vic Country and the Dandenong Stingrays. Whilst not blessed with blistering speed, Langford is a powerful runner and strong overhead.

Harvey’s physical traits allow him to impact in the forward half of the ground, showing he is capable of hitting the scoreboard throughout his top age year.

Touted by many as a top 5 prospect, the Saints pounce and take him with their first pick, adding a top talent to an area of the ground they have actively been trying to improve.

With Pick 10, St Kilda bid on Isaac Kako, exciting small forward and Essendon NGA prospect.

Essendon will match.

I think it's pick 29 with pick 62 coming back as change.

Sheesh can't believe some of the tests they put these draftees through!!

 

[DiamondDogs8]

St Kilda propose a trade, offering pick 11 to the Western Bulldogs for a lone future fourth round selection.

(Just kidding)

With Pick 11, St Kilda select Tobie Travaglia, intercepting defender from Bendigo Pioneers and Vic Country. Possessing line breaking speed off half back with potential to push onto a wing, Travaglia is one of the best kicks in the draft.

A couple of home run picks by the Sainters who are pleased with the way the draft has run out thus far.

Pick 7 Melbourne:
Josh Smillie, Eastern Ranges FC

His under age year had him touted to go No 1 this year, but has drifted due to others rising over the last 12 months.

A big bodied mid in the Bontempelli mould. Good hands, clean skills and can play along other lines.

Although Melbourne have a strong midfield currently, question marks still sit over both Oliver and Petracca’s future, and so bringing in someone of Smillies ability, and physical attributes is a no brainer. Too good to pass on at 7.

All yours DiamondDogs8

You're up again my man

Pick 10 - Melbourne Football Club
Harry Armstrong, Sandringham Dragons FC.

Considering Melbourne list imbalance forward of centre, Harry Armstrong pretty much picks himself.

Not an over big, dominant forward, he makes that up with his athleticism and ability to get on the scoreboard even when having a quiet week.

Back to back to back bags of 4+ goals later in the year means he’s trending strongly in the right direction, with a heap of improvement still to come.

A set and forget type selection for the Dees. They’d have to be very happy Harry’s onboard.

Pick 13 - Richmond - Bo Allan
Peel Thunder, 190cm Midfielder/Defender

I was hoping Armstrong would make it through to this pick. With a gap to the next key position talent, I’m going best available, which was a close choice between two. Allan won out. His combination of size, athleticism, ball winning and defensive intent is too good to pass up. Was a stand out for Peel Colts and WA and gave a good account of himself in the WAFL seniors.

Arguably, he could be a bit of a boom or bust prospect, as he isn’t as much of a natural midfielder as the others in the top group and may have a bigger gap to close to become an elite mid at the next level. But as with my previous two picks, he has a secondary position that he can develop and likely play in from next year, and perhaps excel in down the road: medium defender. With Vlastuin and Broad the wrong side of 30 and Grimes retired, he could play a fair bit of footy at half back and wing from next year.
