Recruiting AFL Draft Watch 2024 - Check out our haul

[Keystone agony]

I'm just happy to cut the cancer out of OUR club. First time ever I've second guessed myself over renewing. I still did it BEFORE the club actually finally ****ed that campaigner off. I wish every one of our new boys the best of luck.
Discarding that prick feels like a win, sad I know.

As in Dodoro?

Surely its too early to say he was a cancer to the club. Its also said a whole lot now after hes left whereas it wasnt in his later time with the club. So i think thats simple bias showing

But surely we need to see what the club can do in the 5-6 years with the group that has just been drafted and the following year or two to come. Remember Dodoro never had a top 10 academy player, so hes already at a disadvantage

 

[Runk]

What a player, one of the fastest players with the ball at his feet I've ever seen.

Sublime player. The ease he could do crazy things....mind blowing

 

[eth-dog]

So.

Main list

Heppell - draft
Kelly - draft
Baldwin - draft
Hind - draft

Rookie list

Wanganeen - Saad
Hunter - draft

So at the moment we can only take four picks into the draft and one into the rookie draft.

Lore eth-dog what is the deal with guys like Weird, Setterfield and Davey? Do they count as on the list if they are unsigned going into the draft or do we need to officially delist them before the draft to open up the use of a pick?

Menzie we're currently unclear if he's rookie or senior listed, the AFL rules aren't exactly clear on whether that half a year counts. So we're wither 34/3 or 35/2. And yeah, have to delist them.

We need to be at 32 spots to use all of said picks

 

[Foxx]

Stringer's pick in the 50's? Mate. I get that you're a Dodoro fanboy but come on. We killed this deal.

Well see in time I guess.

I think Stringer will be pick 37 with us sending a late pick back.

Stringer will be a F3 at best now.

I'm sure Rosa could have found the necessary points someway other than trading our pick 9 before he needed to.

If Kako gets an early bid, then what does that equate to? Our pick 31 and Stringers pick?
Not that hard of a find tbh.

I am sure he knows more than you.

 

[Foxx]

I am sure he knows more than you.

Pull your head in, it's a forum. My opinion on it is a reasonable one.

 

[eth-dog]

I'm quietly hopeful (or delusional) that now we've lost 9, we can get one of 15 or 16 off GWS within the trade for Stringer.

Why would we want to? We'd need to add 28, and then we'd have to trade it out again once a Kako bid comes in.

 

[Foxx]

Ah yeah good point. Hopefully we can get back in early during live trading. .

If we are lucky we’ll **** it up and Hawthorn will offer him a contract.

 

[ant555]

Pull your head in, it's a forum. My opinion on it is a reasonable one.

And my opinion is he knows more than you. You are right. It is a forum. You post . I do not agree. I post Pull your head in yourself. Did not know there was a non disagreement policy.

You can disagree without being dismissive of someone else's reasonable opinion.
I certainly think a lot of your points and opinions against Essendons decisions are reasonable.

 

[Milanista28]

We hate Carlton and they hate us, they genuinely should bid on Kako at 3, we've shown our hand, there is no way we don't match.

 

[Keystone agony]

Rosa saying hes looking at 3 picks in the 30-40s range

Which i dont mind, get me

Sims
Angus Clarke

and all will be forgotten

This seems like the draft to do that. Kako, pick 3 in the 30-40 range for needs, Nguyen

Don't match at 3.

Laugh at Carlton.

 

[Vindicater]

Don't match at 3.

Laugh at Carlton.

Even better.

Match it and then get in the ear of the kid who Carlton take with 4 about how they did not even want him but we would have taken him.

Trade him in two years later for peanuts.

Lots of talk about this draft and comment about what is a good or bad deal in the pick trades but lets face it. No one has nailed down a draft order yet. What makes this draft so different or maybe special is there is stuff all between who will go at pick 1 and who will go at pick 16 or so.

Lots to play out too since pick 2 seems to still be available

I'd be sorely tempted if I was St. Kilda. Lalor and FOS are perfect for them.

Sounds like you have though

How ?
Last time you asked who I liked at 9 I gave you 4 names plus 2 more I would not be unhappy with. That is what is making this draft unusual.

Well you said there is nothing between pick 1 and 16

 

[ant555]

Yes I did. That is why it is hard to nail down the order. The fact that they are all close. It could even be 1 to 20 that will be hard to judge. I could come up with a top 20 but I would not be putting my name to what positions they will go in and there would be a few that slide out.

There is no point to that.
It just gets swallowed by kako bid.
There are two scenarios which will play out.
My guess is either Richmond or most likely st kilda will bid on kako.
We will match.
We will then use one of our future firsts to try and get back in the draft.
Teams which could take the bait are Richmond at 14 which will be about 17.
Freo who decide to prepare a war chest for Chad Warner or Sydney who have two picks close together and in truth are likely to have multiple picks if the jungle drums about Warner are true.
If we cannot get in the first round we simply match Kano and be in a strong position for 2026 which may include having an early crack at Harley Reid.

Just a point on Matt Rosa.
He is a little wet between the ears and was strong armed a little.
However in all likelihood a bid would have come before our pick and he would have scrambled with less strength in his position as the bid was in.
I urge everyone to watch draft day as it is more accurate than people think.

If people like I will list some prospects likely to be in the 30 to 50 range.
As well as some in the 18 to 28 range where we may sneak back in by giving up a first round pick.

In a perfect world we use pick 9 and then match for kako but the world ain’t perfect.
