2024 Draft Thread.

Not even close to a lock.

Settle down.

Nice Whit, trust you to pick up on that.

 

[Sainter93]

7+8 for 3+14 I would do if it means we got Draper

 

[TheJackal]

I think LDU will stay with Norf, c'mon norf or us? will likely be captain of Norf. Bradshaw, if he wants to come home, would be great, but yeah, plenty of other Vic teams would line up. Did he barrack for us as a kid?

Brayshaw, I think his only, albeit pretty big family connection is that Danielle Frawley (Danny's daughter) is engaged to Angus. So there's connections there with the DFC and they have their names on seats etc.

I don't think the Brayshaws were St Kilda supporters growing up, but there is definitely a St Kilda connection there now.

Barrels knows his draft stuff.

 

[Tommy Wigs]

Just faded out of games. Would have 20 at half time and finish with 21

Yeah I don’t see it. Not overly damaging anyway. Only a few times over 20 touches. While he has been disrupted it’s not like he didn’t get a full season in.

If he stays on, I’ll be barracking my guts out for him. But I don’t see him making it, let alone being a critical piece.

Does he? OK cool

That's quite a big thing, can only hope.

It’s by no means impossible that he GOES in the first round, but he’s not a lock at all. Neither one of them.

 

[botts]

Macrae, Steele, Phillipou, Smillie - well done on spelling Mattaes' name right at least

Good input

Whitfield?

 

[Tommy Wigs]

So Giants have picks 15 & 16
Our Picks 8 & 24, = probably no, maybe just 8, depending if they want someone in the top 10.
Dockers have 10,11 & 18 for now. 10 &18?

Bored, so some hypotheticals.

Would you do our F1 for 16 and 21?

Or

Would you do our F1 for their F1 and 16?

Or

Would you do our F1, 25, 43 for 15, 16, 33 ( or whatever those 2R and 3R will be)? Ignore Macrae for the minute.

 

[Tommy Wigs]

7+8 for 3+14 I would do if it means we got Draper

I just don’t see WC accepting that. Moving up 4 into the top 3 for a 6 pick downgrade. Always costs more moving up.

 

[gy027]

Who?

All of the top rated mids. Lol
If a tall is taken before our pick then i am happy with any of the top 7 rated mids.
If no talls are taken before our pick i hope we split 8 for 2 picks under 19

 

[Joffaboy]

Hotton is a good player but had a shit run.

Have yet to see anything but the most vanilla nothing mid. Isn't even good in the VFL.

You can chuck Lindsay in the top basket and it makes it 8

This is a good draft apparently, next year not so, yeah thinking we could use future's, but that would impact our ability to trade next year yeah, always future picks? Don't be bored, Saints are always interesting to talk about, especially this time of year. Always HOPE.

 

[John2010362340]

Smillie and Draper. Don’t complicate things. 2 different types. Maximum impact.

Comes down to how you see this draft shaping up.

Ie an even top 10 before it dips.

 

[triggering bro]

Hotton’s numbers and write up is insane. I’d love us to take the punt on him. Max and Petracca recovered just fine after ACLs.

Which pick you using on him?

 

[Joffaboy]

He wrote Lock because I accidentally wrote Whitfield instead of Whitlock.

Anyway we were talking about him as a second rounder.

I’m thinking of a live trading situation where we slide 8 back to 10-15 with something else coming back our way.

I think banger Harvey had two acl's throughout his career, our games record holder to boot.

Yeah definitely did it once. Hayes also did his knee on two occasions.

 

[bakes10]

I reckon we need to keep 7 and 8 and draft the best available with both, and then also find a way to get a pick around 15.

We could get:
Pick 7: Best available true Mid e.g. FOS/Smillie/Langford
Pick 8: Armstrong (Fwd)
Pick 15: Lindsay (Mid)

This is the last year we are going heavy in the draft so we need to make the most of it.

Next year we are going hard for Free Agents and big name trades so we won’t be drafting much at the top end going forward. With names like Leek Aleer and Finn Callaghan out of contract I reckon we’ll be trading away our 1st rounder next year and probably even the following years 1st rounder.

I reckon Armstrong could be the next [PLAYERCARD]Jeremy Cameron[/PLAYERCARD] so would like to see him coming in and we can shift someone like Caminiti to the back if we need to make space.
