Game Day The 2024 Draft Day Thread

[Keys]

Draft Day is here

Unlike last year when the excitement of adding No.1 pick Harley Reid to our list was palpable (and also near certain), this draft is uncertain and viewed with equal parts excitement and trepidation

We go into the first night with pick 12, which is expected to slide to 15 after academy and Father Son selections and a lot of guesswork on who we’ll take. Or even if we actually use that pick with rumours circulating that we might trade up or back

Night two we have pick 26 (subject to change) along with a gaggle of late picks. Again, there’s the possibility of trading into the draft with another pick using one of our later future picks and even less certainty on who we might pick

The one near guarantee is that NGA product, Malakai Champion, will be an Eagle at some point over the next couple of days

So sit back and watch to see how the draft unfolds whilst praying we don’t do something stupid

Looks like we wont get the Essendon trade we wanted. Screwed before we start

Hotton is sounding like the Chesser chatter of a couple years ago. Getting firmer and firmer.
Very similar situation, injured draft year and the potential slide back to take him

 

[Happy Mastenator]

When’s a pick going to be made?

 

[squashface]

Looks like we might be trading down a spot with Port just to fk with Freo lol

 

[Cornelius Roy]

So when did Hotton change from being a guaranteed flight risk

They are still needing them hidden

Literally to what end?

They have the next pick after us. If they want Berry, then they can just take Berry.

If Port are desparate to stay ahead of Freo for Joe Berry, could we pry 36 off of them for a 1 pick downgrade?

Here we go

Because we would be saying to them if you don’t do it we will trade with Freo and you won’t get your guy.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Surely that'd be very dumb drafting and list management on Ports part.

Be funny if it happens. Until Cockburn take Murphy Reid

West Coast trade pick 12 for pick 23 & 24
Select Ned Bowman and Charlie Nicholls

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Taking longer than 0:01 on Pick 1 should see you forfeit the pick.

If Freo are coming after Berry at 12 then port would have to offer a better pick than Freo to stay ahead. Obviously if we traded with Freo so they take Berry it means port may then take our preference

 

[PremiershipNo4]

Have we won the draft yet?

right you are, forgot Freo had pick 30 for a minute.

 

[CountryLad]

See if Nth trade

 

[dinnaz]

Most open draft in memory

 

[swingdog]

About to fly from Melbourne to Perth, which I reckon is the best solution to draft night.

See you in 3.5 hours.

Enough mids, id ask for future picks and a slide to pick up Armstrong

The way all these teams take their time, you might land just in time to see our pick live
