Preview 2024 AFL Draft General Discussion

[eDPS]

Do you rate Adrian cole and Lennox Hofmann? I thought we might pick one up as a cat b rookie but the seem to have risen in the rankings

Both are a prime example of what I just said, not in my 50 but that’s not due to lack of talent. Cole is a terrific defender but his offensive game needs work and Hofmann is rather raw as a medium defender but he can have some moments in a game that look AFL quality

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Fingers crossed for a 70-80+ pick ND.

I’ve got players outside my 50 that I could argue are top 30 calibre in previous drafts, yeah I reckon this years is a deep one.

Do you have players outside the top 10 this year that would be top 10 in those previous drafts?

Just about my entire 10-20 range I could argue sneaking into some previous top 10s, those players aren’t out of the realm of this year either despite not being there at this instant

So how far will Smillie slide not making the AA squad?

Dont recall him being injured during the champs.

Does it matter at what number a player is drafted mate? As long as he is surely. And he will get drafted.

this is a draft thread. literally the whole thread is about where players will get drafted.

Herbert playing SANFL league against the men, great running work ethic, strong overhead, good decision maker and his kicks set up play, another great game by him, pipped Drapers 27 posi game for the breakthrough player of the week. Delmenco in the U18s is ever reliable down back. Strong overhead, will often out-mark the forward but will punch when needed, can play lockdown role or play off his man to create.

I thought long and hard. Had a smoke and a drink. Contemplated your post and despite all that I can't argue your point.

The perfect response clever.

Top 20 picks get more money and longer contracts now, so yes

Not that Smillie is any chance of dropping out of the top 20, 10 or probably 5

Does it matter if a player is drafted? AFL consists but of a small component of their hopefully long and fruitful lives

Does life matter? It's so fickle relative to the consistency of rock and metal, >99% of species that have ever existed are extinct

For 18 year olds they are on good money regardless of where there drafted.

Jagga Smith had 31 and 8 clearances against Williamstown today with Richmond's VFL team in wet weather. Impressive performance by all accounts

Something about Chewy on your boot. zäh auf deinem Stiefel

 

[eDPS]

Some promising signs from a few tall prospects in the wet conditions today

Matt Whitlock 17d 2.5
Jack Whitlock 17d 2.0
Gabriel Strumpf 16d 3.2

Sims very quiet with just the 7 touches, 1 behind and 7 hitouts

"Wet" is a bit of an understatement for that game
