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?

 

 

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.

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.

Would like to. But sadly I don't think it is plausible.

However, you never know as Jason Taylor and Tim Lamb try and work their magic.

I think, because we've traded out F1, we will struggle to trade our other future selections.

The rule is that if you trade out your F1, you need to keep your other round picks. The AFL can choose to waive that. Generally the questions is whether they'd allow it when trading for a player, and they are more likely to allow it if its a young player. But I'm not sure what their criteria would be for trading directly for draft picks

No real need to trade up in to this years remaining draft picks, sure talent is there, but you only trade away your future to get real value in todays draft picks.

 Can see this thread is a bit of a Q&A session.

Something that has been slightly perplexing is the expansion of the first round of the draft. At genesis every club was given one pick in reverse ladder order. That should total 18 with the growth of the competition.

After the horse trading, plus the genie of future firsts now live!  Some clubs will of course have multiple first round picks. Add the generous AFL largesse to the perpetual cellar dwellers, ‘disadvantaged’ newer franchises in the NRL heartland and  compensation picks for free agency.

The first round girth has blown out right out to a generous 27 notches on last night’s first draft night. 

Will the entry of  the 19th Tassie Devils  necessitate the use of braces on the now moribund figure of the draft?

SEN commentary. Wow. One knows most of the players. The other bloke has zero idea … he’s reading off rookie central apparently.   It’s amateur hour !! 🤯🤯🤯🤯

Wonder if we're looking to trade a pick from next year into this year. We've got a couple in the 50's next year, Brisbane have a ****load of picks to come from 46 onwards.

Surely Freo pick Hamish Davis ?!?!?! 
Clancy Dennis?? 

Others are still there …Gross? Dodson??  They must be getting anxious.   It’s tough for these kids and their families 🤞🤞🤞

Can’t help but feel like we went way too hard to get the extra first rather than try to maximise picks and list turnover by 3-4 picks in this middle range of the draft. Essendon might’ve cooked us here 

Great pick by the Swans

Nah, easier to turn the list over with a couple of quality top picks. 

Meanwhile down at the Docklands crossroads.

O’Farrell selected by Carlton son of Cripps’ silk.

Do a deal with the devil he’ll  have your soul.

One kid out of Queensland that has improved this year is Ty Gallop. Plays key forward at local club Maroochydore in QAFL as a 17 year old. He’s not Jed Walter but can take pack marks, loves a goal and has physical presence even as a youngster. He can kick 45/50 metres easily. Records this year shows kicked 8 goals in 3 Coates league games for the Brisbane Lions academy,  4 goals in 2 Under18 championships games for Allies and Kicked 30 goals in 9 QAFL games for Maroochydore (including 16 in last three games of the year). Dominated the last game of the year versus morningside. He is unfortunately tied to the Lions academy but sure to bolt up recruitment lists.  Not sure the Lions have ability to match as they will have invested heavily in Ashcroft and Marshall.  Aggressive young key forwards are hard to find. Might not be top 50 but Dees have to find some gems with skill and some real toughness in their style.  Reminds me of Logan Morris in style.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
