Very interesting..

 

Crows will take him to send a message now! 

What does his camp think about Melbourne?

This feels like a very strange move. Is he trying to torpedo his own chances of going top 5 by putting off Eagles & Crows?

Sid Draper is a future star.  I didn’t think he would make it past the Crows pick.  99% sure if he’s available, Crows grab him.  If he dropped to “5”, definitely be very tempted to grab him.  He’s a complete package as a midfielder.  

Wow, are would be draftees really calling the shots pre draft these days? 

So much entitlement.

Tis the age of entitlement 

Well there goes the SA destination state theory. 

TBA 

fastest midfielder in the draft 

toughest midfielder in the draft 

Classiest midfielder in the draft 

Dees need one of each in the draft

I’ll just be happy with the best player in the draft thanks

Not sure if it has already been posted, but here is the 2024 Under 18 All Australian Team.

Hopefully the Demons can draft one or two (or even three) of these young guns.

 

 

Brisbane winning a flag and getting another ashcroft and another top 15 f/s (sam marshall) AT A POINTS DISCOUNT  is gonna cause some vomit in mouths

6 of the All Australian under 18s are assigned to father son or academy picks.  Lions - Ashcroft & Marshall, Blues- Camporeale, suns- Lombard & Uwland (2025) and Logan Smith (GWS Giants) .

Lionsargghhhh

Ashcroft will likely go at pick 2. Brisbane will need 2014 draft points to bid on him after discounting.

Let's say their academy player Marshall slides and gets bid on at 30. That's another 432 points needed after discounting.

2446 points needed. Brisbane will have 1228 points prior to trade and free agency so they'll need to find another 1218 points just for those two players... possibly more if Marshall gets an earlier bid or if Richmond bids on Ashcroft at #1.

I'm honestly not sure how they get this done without giving up a lot of their 2025 draft capital, or trading someone out this year. As an example, our picks 37, 45, 50 and 61 are worth 1238 points. That would cover it, but only if we were trading them for 2025 picks.

I assume Dylan Robertson will leave and they might get some points back there but will still be a long way off...

Clubs should bid for Marshall within range 12-15.  If it’s after that, then it’s a disgrace and clubs aren’t pushing hard enough.  He’s good enough to be picked at 12-15 so make Lions pay the right price for him !!  

If we needed up with another top 15 pick and  managed to pick up three of the listed players below I’d be stoked! (Yes it means one would have to slide to anb’s pick) 

Draper/Reid/Langford, Berry/tauru/x.Lindsey and Hannaford/Shanahan

 

wishful thinking

Interesting, KPF at 5 and we have a choice of a few good mids at the effective pick 7.

Rather mid than a forward that will probably end up like Weidman 

Bring on the good stuff now. Trade period and draft.

Whilst I'm not expecting major player movement during the trade period, I'm hoping for some clever pick trading.

Maybe our next coach will come through the Demonland system as well. There are so many here that would do a much better job..........apparently 😏

Yep, a lot of supporters still suffer from PTSD over that one. Especially since Curnow went later. Can't win them all i guess.

 Will Ashcroft h being  on the smaller side yet so strong through the hips it’s making me think Jagga Smith could do something similar.

good evasiveness , great in tight , and football brains !!

The Lions will have to trade a future in or trade out players. Otherwise they will have to pass on Marshall. I suspect they will trade out player/s.

Both Ashcroft and Marshall are mids. 

Gold Coast have Lombard as an Academy pick this year. Their 1st 3 picks are 6,12 and 20. He is expected to go in the Top 12 or so picks. We will know closer to the draft. They have plenty of picks from 20 on to match a bid. They likely plan to use pick 6 on Rioli. They plan to trade out players and bring Noble in, 

We may make a play for pick 12 or 20 using a future pick or combination of picks.
