Be prepared!

Still strong talent left to pick up for those clubs with picks in the next few rounds.  Definitely more talented youngsters like Moraes, Jack Whitlock, Hamish Davis & Tom Gross.  

Dees linked to Jack Henderson from Werribee who had an outstanding year in the VFL.

Here is at least 7 talented players that haven't been picked in the draft yet: https://www.zerohanger.com/the-seven-best-afl-draft-prospects-still-available-and-the-clubs-that-could-select-them-2-156969/

 

● Alex Dodsen

● Jack Whitlock

● Jobe Shanahan

● Hamish Davis

● Christian Moraes

● Kayle Gerreyn

● Tom Gross

 

I am sure there's a few others, but not sure who will slip down for the Demons?

Zane Cochrane 🤞

Are all these picks still live though ? 

Haven't some been spent ?

What would the effective resultant order be if such ?

Cheers ...t.i.a.

That's the current list, noting that some clubs will be passing because they may have an excess number of picks or want to use the picks for the supplementary draft.

[Diamond_Jim 12,561]

One thousand young lads nominated and around 60 selected.

I feel for those who miss out especially those in the 60-120 category. Life is tough to be forever pigeon holed at that age.

Last night’s talking points ended with the perfect segue into tonight which gets underway at 7.00pm.

TALKING POINTS | 2024 AFL Draft: Night One

After a night of drama and plenty of bolters, there is still plenty of talent left off the board.

Perhaps most significantly, key forwards Jack Whitlock and Jobe Shanahan were overlooked for the quality midfield and utility talent available. They will be in high demand to start night two, and may even pique Richmond's interest first off the board.

Another consideration for the Tigers will be leading ruck prospect Alex Dodson, who would nicely round out their rebuilding spine.

Elsewhere, the Western Bulldogs hold two of the next four selections and could look at some running power in Hamish Davis, or explosiveness with Tom Gross.

Ruck/forward Thomas Sims is another key position prospect who will be high on many clubs' boards and may warrant a trade up the order. The likes of Christian Moraes and Jasper Alger have plenty of links in the next 10 selections or so and will likely also find homes quickly.

On top of the four first round bids, another three may be placed early on night two. Giants Academy ruck Logan Smith should attract attention, while St Kilda will have first dibs on NGA products Lennox Hofmann and Adrian Cole in a similar range. Meanwhile, Carlton will be hoping to hear a bid for Ben Camporeale after its pick 40.

And when that’s done, there’s the question of what is now Melbourne’s Pick 75. 

[Demons11 6,982]

Can we trade up in any way?
