The 2024 Draft [no longer spec] Thread

Only puts more pressure on us. We become desperate to make a deal.

we dont need any more 2 metre beanpole key position players

I would laugh quite a bit if we give up a bunch of random 2nds for the Tiger’s next pick when North gave up a top 5 selection for the previous pick.

looks ok to me

It’s an option.
It is a person’s opinion on how to play it.

It may end up better. It may end up worse.
Odds are, it ends up very similar. Because we’d trade down on the day as the noise gets louder.

I’m averse to trading out future seconds. Emotionally scarred by the Dodoro mantra of “I must hand over next year’s second because I’m so crap with my speculative seconds”.

I wonder what a decent recruiter can do with good second rounders.

Ok, you’ve sold me. Of course, now it will be all your faults when I’m disappointed because he ends up elsewhere!
:rofl:

His write up on rookie me sounds Joe Daniher esque.

Marks at the highest point. Super athletic for his size. Can snap a goal. Big game player. Inaccurate set shot.

If that is indeed all true, I’d be keen. Would love someone that fun to watch again.

I heard this morning that Finn O’Sullivan’s parents own the Port Fairy Day Spa, over the road from my (and @bomber5au’s) favourite coffee shop…and my favourite Thai restaurant.

That you’re effectively saying we should have given up getting Roberts because there was a possibility that the AFL might change the southern NGA rules the following year.

That you would prefer those two late picks to having Roberts.

I literally didn’t say that Ants, go away

Asked if he thought Richmond would keep Pick 28, Hartley told reporters: “We’ll assess everything.

“There’s options in trading back as well. There’s still some pretty handy players on the board.

“We’re excited to see how the next 24 hours play out.”

The Tigers will field more calls from clubs across Thursday in the lead-up to night two, but sources spoken to by foxfooty.com.au believe Essendon would be well placed to deal with the Tigers – and would almost certainly have a prospect in mind.

As long as we don’t use our future firsts and take Nguyen I’d be happy no matter what we do

Huh? Weren’t the last three seconds we traded out for Caldwell, Jones and Saad? Two of those were great deals, the third is still to be determined. 2014 we didn’t have a second due to the AFL ban.

If we involve either of our future firsts in any trade tonight I’ll be ropable.

Would just need to be prepared for them to return the favour with Nguyen (Which may happen anyway)

I think taking shanahan would be a risk for us too have two undersized key forwards so if we were trying to get up Whitlock might be the choice or we hold firm and hope sims gets that far

What I really need is to hear again the reasons why we stuffed up/made the right decision in the way we got Kako

You said “despite what Dodoro left us with”. The picks we were missing were used to get Roberts. You can’t moan about not having the picks unless you think getting Roberts was a bad move.

Yeah that’s always been my worry.
Not a complete deal breaker I guess, but it’d be nice to have some extra height next to Caddy
