2024 AFL Silly Season

Port trade up for Joe Berry

gave up pick 45 to move up a spot

We were always taking Bo, why did Port give us 45 just to do it?

Pick 27 and Richmonds 2025 2nd

for

Norths 2025 1st

I reckon if you sit down and work it out, it will end up something like 2 end of first rounders for their 1st next year, which could be anything really.

I'm not saying I'd want my club making a trade like that. Clearly, they rated the player highly enough. Juat that it's probably not as bad as it appears first up.

We were always taking Bo, why did Port give us 45 just to do it?

Yes, could not work it out. Went up one spot in front of West Coast when they were always picking Allen. Would like to hear the reason from Port

Possibly because the last time we had pick 16 we used it to draft Todd Marshall.

Swans.
Has plenty of forwards and small forwards.
Needs defenders.

Drafts a small forward and a forward

Think Freo were after him and were going to make a trade with WC & we blinked first to get him. Port must be keen on him

Whilst you might need a defender for 2025 realistically a pick 22 isnt going to ordinarily play tons of AFL footy next year.

Guessing with Blakey 24yo, Roberts 21yo, Campbell 22yo, McCartin 24yo they feel they have a solid enough defence that in 2-3 years time when this years draft pick is ready to go a potentially aging forward line (based of last years GF) of Papley 28yo, Hayward 26yo, Heeney 28yo, Parker gone will need some freshening up.

That's a fair assessment

Pick 27 and Richmonds 2025 2nd

for

Norths 2025 1st

Next years draft is widely seen as one of the poorest in recent times and with Tassie looming large soon after most clubs saw this draft as the time to strike if they saw something they really wanted.

Next year also has plenty of academy rorts

Could be pick 27 x2 for Pick 4 if North finish 15th

[Booney]

If North finish 15th pick 4 might be bumped back to 8-10 with the AFL love child ( GWS, GC, Sydney, Lions ) rorts.

Clubs are cowards not bidding on these academy rort picks early, Ashcroft a f/s but a rort club should have been bid on pick 1

no doubt some back room deals going on if clubs dont bid on them, the agents and clubs will look more favourably on future trades or when they have players that can be bid on

They say that every year at this time.

HTF does Richmond take so long to pick the first pick tonight, they’ve had 21 ###### hours

Getting sick of hearing everyone winge how the draft is rorted by father /son and academy picks getting to clubs for late picks so here is a solution .
All father / sons and academy players can be listed prior to the draft by the clubs that have access to them if they have the available spots on their list, that way all picks in the draft are as listed..
If clubs are lucky enough to have Father / son players who are top players good on them , it should go in cycles where each club get a father / son at some stage . With academy players if they spend the time and money developing those players .
For all the clubs having a whinge perhaps get off your arses and spend some money setting up academies of your own and developing players instead of spending big on that one recruit who is " going to make all the difference in that next flag "

I'm sure Carlton would love to set up an academy for every kid born in Victoria

[Armchair expert]

Lmao Geelong bid on an academy rort player and the Lions trade their next pick so they can use a bunch of shittier picks

Could set up Academies which have limits on number of players that can be in Academy which could be extended to all clubs ie limit of 50 Players in your academy squad each year
