Player Watch 2024 AFL Draft Thread

[Bugs1977]

So apparently the * are trying like hell to trade for the Tigers pick 28. Those MFers would most certainly have Shanahan in their sights.

 

[HomerJayS]

Take best available regardless of position.

Winning our next premierships will be easier with a dominant KPF.

We don’t have one yet, not a game breaking, goal scoring, All Australian star. KPFs like that win games that would be lost without them. Hawthorn has always had one in our dominant eras.

 

[eldorado]

No need to delist anyone. All Im suggesting is moving up for Shanahan and with our pick at 35 pick another tall or Anderson. Whoever the club think would be best for us.

I was responding to your first notion, that only having two spaces meant we hadn't managed things very well.

We managed things to have two spaces, which is fine with one decent pick in the 30s, and two rubbish picks in the 70s, to possibly match a bid on Anderson if it comes

 

[eldorado]

We’re going to get a talent at our pick, and with our development program they could be anything in 12 months time.

Don’t sweat it.

I desperately fighting the urge to write a response with some sort of reference to KID!

(Nope, can't do it...)

 

[I got the outside word]

I would do F1+40's pick for our 35+F2

Direct F1 for 35 may be hard to sell, will need our F2 going back, maybe ask for F3 instead of 40's pick.
Then use the F3 for one of Lions huge set of unwanted picks if a player we like is on board.

No one is trading picks unless it’s Norf Norfin’ their offer. 35 (8 picks into round 2) for a contenders pick is plenty realistic. Lower half of the ladder more might be needed but I’m not sure the extra is a future second. Who knows anymore.

I still chuckle at the memory of Richmond's head honchos parading Deledio and Tambling at a BBQ and proclaiming they'd just picked the two best kids in the draft!

Terry Wallace admitted that if they had picked Buddy then he may have kept his job at the Tigers.

 

[FB19]

Is that in reference to Brady Rawlings?

 

[I got the outside word]

If Essendon trade Melbourne’s future first pick for pick 28 or beyond I’m going to punch a small cat. Surely not.

 

[Scrads]

They have picks close by enough that they can look to pay for a slide instead of trying to get the pick outright though. I'd be shocked if they gave an F1 at this stage.

 

[FB19]

Why? Isn’t that a great result for us and more misery for them?

 

[Yardie]

I'd take the fat one but we don't know weights anymore.....

 

[Ashman23]

So, here we are once again start of round 2 and Richmond let the clock run down before making a selection.

Thanks Fox Footy, that'll do it for me tonight. I'll channel surf and check back in five hours when the Hawks are on the clock.

And bugger, they took Sims.

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Pricks

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Sims gone, wonder if he was our target?

 

[VandoHawk]

Wasn't sold on Sims. Feel like Richmond have reached a bit for two of their three talls, although they are in a position to

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

I made mention during the week that the Talls in this draft are NQRs. Hence why they are sliding

 

[cryptor]

Bulldogs didn't take Moraes

edit - Just saw they have another pick coming up

edit2 - They didn't take Moraes again

I know Fox try to pad this stuff out for the television experience, but it was obvious that would happen. Richmond had to let that run the full 5 minutes just in case another side came in with an offer they couldn't refuse.

 

[VandoHawk]

Eagles picking Shanahan at 30 is good value if he sticks around

 

[HR Roughnstuf]

Terry Wallace admitted that if they had picked Buddy then he may have kept his job at the Tigers.

That’s because Wallace is a simpleton.

More likely result is Franklin never reach’s the same heights at the tigers, Wallace still gets sacked

 

[RoughysMullet]

Dogs passed on Moraes

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

If Jack Whitlock gets past Port, is he ours?

 

[Strebi3]

Surely we go Moraes

Him or Whitlock would be great outcome.

Saints fans are going to burn the club down if they pick another defender
