Game Day 2024 AFL Draft Live discussion Rd1, 2-4 and Rookie Draft

[Live in hope]

I'm not, Kuol Mun was uber raw. Pike played at the level

For a 1st year ruck in 2024, Pike was doing the basics relatively well and importantly not being pushed around like your usual much skinnier young ruck.

I reckon we won the rookie draft.

Being in our system full time will help with that.

I don't think he has a high ceiling but, we already have a few of those prospects. I think he has a decent floor.

Sorry not clear. I was referring to Mun

I went and had a refresh look at the VicM V Vic C game … we have 4players in that game …3 in VicM which is unusual. KMF … looks dangerous when he can swing on his left … but he looks a stereotypical one sided lefty. The other three guys will show a bit in the VFL I think but will take some time .

were we the only one that were fair dinkum ?

Constable and Stevens are ordinary to good footballers at best, our first pick Jay Polkinghorne is anything but a ordinary footballer. I'm glad the club doesn't follow your far to simplistic findings, as get me a guy that has natural football talents, which this kid has in bucket fulls. With his only one likely downfall outside a major injury being his unpreparedness to do all the hard things that is takes to become a AFL footballer which generally comes from having a poor attitude, otherwise there is so much to like with Jay.

We can review Davidson v Polkinghorne in 5 years time. It's all opinions.

I like some of the players we have drafted and 1 thing is for sure our VFL side will have a much more balanced forward line next year compared to this year due to the amount of forwards we have drafted.

Depends where they play all these young rucks

I reckon we won the main draft!

Interesting that we were the only team not to make a trade of draft picks. I'd love to know the machinations over the 2 days. What we attempted.

I think you will find Conway will either be on the 1s or injured.
Stanley will be filling in the 1s or resting because of an old body (cellar stuff).
Realistically one of the main rucks will lead the vfl ruck (probably pike) and guys like Edwards and molier will probably play FF and CHF in the 2s.

Wells loves the word versatile. Think I now know why we didn't pick Dodson.

 

[ninjahcat]

The first with no photo on the afl draft tracker

Usually thats our first pick

 

[ninjahcat]

Geelong having fun with more bids

Its not a draft to us its an auction house

 

[ninjahcat]

About time we have a bloke I can yell out…. Go HOFFY!!!

No knock or making comparisons with Davidson, more to do with why we shouldn't have picked Polkinghorne, the reasoning was to simplistic from my view-point but yeah, it's still my opinion vs yours regarding that matter, so it does come back to 'it's all opinions', so you got me on that one!

The pace of the VFL…one would think you could play both of them forward without much of an issue. Can we sneak Polk and KMF in as well? We will find a way around it..
