Opinion 2024 AFL Draft - Nights 1 & 2, from 7pm AEST

[caesar88]

Hey folks, the draft is upon us in just a few hours, so time to open the yearly thread for all discussion as the draft unfolds.

Over to you, Beatson, Keane & co.

2 hours before we can say….

“I now declare the draft open”

 

[bedford]

Congratulations to LP1 1534 will never be beaten a nearly 800 win

 

[Kbroome]

All i ask for is something different in the forward line. Movement decreases the likelihood of midfielders just bombing it in

Equal lead already

 

[Kbroome]

Any takers and if so what selection?

 

[caesar88]

There's just so many options...

They would be looking a fraction higher GWS picks would make sense

A new thread you can win

GWS or Richmond seem likely unless they are referencing moving 12 back up the board which would be really dumb imo

Freo want to move up to WCE (Berry is their ideal target). They want to get ahead of Port

Didn’t hit 2000 lol

GWS and Richmond will get the juicy bids and hoover the future 1sts. We're too far back.

Makes our draft planning very awkward when you don't know who's picking infront of you.

Best available

 

[Bloods86]

Assume we'll have a couple of hours before the draft gets to us and it's worth watching.

 

[Nuggetz]

Keen to see a totally random player selected.

At pick 23, the Sydney Swans have selected ....

It's an omen, Phoenix Hargrave it is.

Not skinny though.

This is the first draft in years where I really am not motivated. My draft crushes few up the board, far out of our reach and we're sitting just outside a talent drop off.

We also seem to be angling for a KPF and SF too, we need a legitimate KPD far more and have a glaring depth issue at medium forward. No real mention of a Rampe/Fox replacement either. I'm just not getting it.

I think that COVID draft really killed it for me. Shocking picks, but more so, traded away from Weddle. Got in a fight with GWS when the best option was to trade with them.

Really not sure where we're at. Zero hits from the rookie draft in years and seemingly very happy with 'good' but completely lacking the mental ability to be great.

Geez, I hope we find a spark from this draft. We need 4 picks before Cochran, we also shouldn't feel pushed in to taking a rookie quality player in the main draft

 

[Kbroome]

Who do we think is the team to break Twomey's Phantom?

I personally expect this year to be pretty tough for his Phantom due to multiple teams wanting to trade in and around as well as the pure evenness of the 15-30 block

Replace with shoestring fries and we're in business.

St Kilda- for me Lindsay/Bo Allen make so much more sense but maybe they are big into the two T’s

Travaglia and Tauru is just about my dream draft. St Kilda fans will always complain but that would be a super result for them

He is a good kick though so you have to give him that. Just too bad he gets pushed off the ball really easily and will not help our contested game one bit.

We have serious KPD depth problems, especially when you consider that like his brother Tom McCartin has concussion issues too and it would not surprise me if one day he gets a concussion and never plays again, meaning we go down from 1 legimiate KPD to none.

 

[Bloods86]

"Best available" at our first pick from Keane doesn't fill me with hope.

As long as it's not a pure small forward, half back, intercepting KPD or winger that we deem best available.
