2024 AFL draft

[Damo]

Is there a world where we get picks 1,2,3 ?

Maybe
But not on Planet Earth

[one-eyed]

Is there a world where we get picks 1,2,3 ?
Get 6,9, 10 & 12
Give 6 & 9 to Norf for 2
Give 10 & Baker to WC for 3.
End up with 1,2,3,12,21 plus maybe Brisbane's first for academy players then general upgrades.

So, while the Kangaroos weigh up their options at Pick 2, would they consider splitting that selection for a pair of top 10 picks?

Currently, Fremantle are the only club that could offer that good of a draft hand as they hold Picks 9 and 10, the latter being traded from Collingwood last year.

The Dockers are a chance to part with one or both of those picks as they look to lure Richmond pair Shai Bolton and Liam Baker to Cockburn, meaning the Tigers might be a bidder for Pick 2.

Richmond are also said to be a chance of securing Gold Coast's selection of Pick 6 in a trade deal for Daniel Rioli, meaning the Tigers could hold selections 1, 6 and 9/10, placing them as a key player in the early stages of this year's draft.

Pick 6 and either 9 or 10 could be packaged to satisfy the Roos in a deal for Pick 2, a trade that would give North Melbourne two bites in the top 10 while the Tigers open the count with the first pair of picks.

It would place the Kangaroos in a position to acquire both Trainor and Armstrong, or at least one of the two and another top line teenager in the top 10.

Richmond also possesses the prized position of opening the second round of the AFL Draft, which will start night two of this year's proceedings.

Rival clubs are likely to offer premium deals for the selection as they look to move to the front of the queue and attain the best teenager left over from the first round of picks.

Trading up this year makes little sense as the player you will get at 10 is almost if not as good as the player you will get at 3 so trading up this year is a waste of picks.

[Tiger Khosh]

While that may prove true, the number of drafts that get dubbed as ‘very deep’ only to be not end up as so is telling. Fact is players drafted 1-5 are generally less prone to turning out duds as those taken 5-10.

[Diocletian]

Yes there's probably some merit in trading up and condensing our picks into the top 5/10/first round as much as possible and trade into next year as well...,maybe hanging on to one or two late picks in case of any sliders....probably going to be doing some live trading over the two nights you'd imagine...

Yes
Particularly with Lions wanting Ashcroft as a father-son. Probably a first 5 pick if not 1
And Carlton wanting the Camporeale twins as father-sons. Probably a top 10 for one and a top 20 for the other.

[pmac21]

From all reports the Camporeale twins are sliding outside the top 30-40

That was what I heard last also, Blues probably won't need to trade their R1.

I'd be forcing Lions to pay up for Ashcroft though. F them

[Diocletian]

Don't reckon Norf will take Trainor at pick 2 as many have suggested now he's just suffered his third concussion in two years....

[Diocletian]

Didn't have him on my list but people saying Sid Draper's a flight risk because he's from SA.....reckon everyone's paranoid because of JHF...but how often do SA players wanna go home....in the old pre-draft VFL days they used to come over here of their own accord...different times of course but it's not as if Adelaide's that far away like Perth or Brisbane...besides JHF was playing for Norf at Marvel & Bellerive in front of no-one....

[Tiger Khosh]

If you’re a good club with a good culture you shouldn’t have an issue retaining players regardless of where they’re from. Other than the guys wanting out this season, I can’t remember any of our players requesting trades back to their home state in recent memory.

Ofcourse, players these days seem to need a lot more babying then in years gone by.

[Knighter]

We ain’t a good club with a good culture anymore

[pmac21]

Watching Jagga highlights, he's very clean and moves a lot like Daicos. 
Reckon he's pick 1 material

I think it al started with chad wingard and how in his interviews he said to all recruiters if a non SA club picks me I’m just going to request to be traded back when contract is up and it spooked a lot clubs
