How Can The Tigers Shape The AFL Draft? | 2024 AFL Draft

[@twentyfourseven7988]

Bolton is a great prize for any potential premiership team, he's a FRONT RUNNER, flashy player that will break the oppositions heart because he only needs 1 good quarter to change the game

[@daztalksfooty]

I agree

[@Lekii-2885]

Hope these picks come into fruition for the mighty tigz, just gotta get the right picks. FOS, Smilie, Jagga, Armstrong, Lalor, Langford

[@Drvol1]

Yes and Trainor 🤞🏼

[@storm_gaming9865]

as a richmond supporter i am absolutely drooling over this possibility

[@daztalksfooty]

I love that!

[@rhys87]

as a carlton supporter i say dont cut that deep, doesnt help.

[@cptblight20]

Hello, fellow Dazza. Thanks for the video. I came up with a situation where Richmond could get 1,6,9,12,17,20 + 2xfuture 1st. I had both players going to Freo, Rioli to GC and Graham to WC (band 3 value, #22) and st kilda getting pick 6 compo (effective making +1 to all picks). Here is how it works. GC #14 + #20 for Rioli Freo #9 + #12 + #16 for Baker + Bolton + #39 Bris #17 for later picks That would leave Richmond with 1,9,12,14,16,17,20,21,22. They trade #14 + #16 for pick #6 and trade #21 + #22 for 2 future 1st. #1 O'Sullivan #6 Armstrong (ahead of Ess + mel) #9 Lalor/mid that slides #12 Travaglia #17 Berry/Lindsay #20 Dobson The best thing is that we would still have 3 1st rounders next year as well. Keep the video up

[@daztalksfooty]

Love it mate!

[@Drvol1]

What about Jagga? Trainor and Langford. So many good players….

[@matteomarinacci5230]

The best thing about this is that you're rating Armstrong just as highly as I do. I've been watching him closely and I thin k he has all the attributes of a top key forward. Would be lovely to have this kid come into our squad together with a bunch of quality mids. Good stuff.

[@seantayler5418]

Hope so, don’t think Freo would give up all that for Bolton.

[@Justacidity]

Great video Daz! This would definitely be an insane draft hand for Tigers if it panned out this way! Probably is best for them to cash in at this point, do a Sam Mitchell and gut the list

[@storm_gaming9865]

agreed

[@DennyBanfield-pl2uz]

I agree, personally I don’t mind a few years of pain for long term future success and with tassie pretty much right around the corner I think we should take a risk and try to maximise our draft this year before the rule changes next year and the addition of tassie

[@brianmurphy6243]

Yeah it's all semantics isn't it. But well done, put a lot of thought into it. I'm tiger blood and I'm hoping Jagga Smith, Finn O'Sullivan and Murphy Reid are on our list next year. Langford another quality youngin.

[@daztalksfooty]

It's almost being paralysed by choice isn't it mate?

[@johnfloris6306]

Hi mate as a tiger I’m greedy I want Smith Lalor O’Sullivan Langford Armstrong

[@TheAlphaDingo]

good video mate, I genuinely haven't been this interested in the draft or trade period for over 10 or years I reckon. Definitely a lot of interesting possibilities - believe we had the highest draft points hand going into this season before our likely lowly finish and any potential departures. You sort of touched on it briefly but I'll be keen to see what we do shopping around some of those picks to clubs desperately needing draft points for F/S and academy picks. Could definitely bundle some of those later picks in exchange for another selection higher up the draft order. Despite the strong potential raft of picks incoming, we'll be losing a ton of experience so I'm hopeful some of the older players will be retained to help set the standards and mentor the next tiger cubs coming through. Re-signing Broad was great from that POV and I wouldn't mind holding onto McIntosh and Pickett for the same reasons. Prestia as well. They may be past their best and not likely part of the future premiership chasing side but they can still help provide bigger bodies, experience and wisdom to guide the younger players as they try and find their feet in the AFL. We'll also have a bucket of cap space available so I hope we're open to picking up players at other clubs who might be looking for opportunity or game time. I recall we were into Hobbs before he was drafted to Essendon so maybe he's one we might look at. Not sure if there are other clubs feeling salary cap pressure who might need to jettison players so there may also be some bargains to be had if we can absorb them into our own cap.

[@colonialgal1750]

Rioli did win the Jack Dyer medal

[@Dani-jq6db]

Dont mind it mate tiger side this draft and next years could set us up for next 10 years bite the bullet. We got a bunch of picks we stacked up with last year that clubs will come at us for father and sons lions and blues don't forget. Rioli is the one I think we hold the aces think Suns will have to give a early pick or a good young player. Finn is the one for me at number 1 pick. Holding on to pick 20 and 21 gives us a few aces to come second night of the draft clubs coming to us.

[@traveleaz]

Agree!

[@andrewf9322]

Neutral fan here, don’t think Richmond will het that much for Bolton. Picks 10 and 17 feels fair for the quality of player. But I understand Richmond may have been overly generous with his the contract value, making Bolton harder to accommodate and hence less valuable.

[@RICHMOND2025]

Great video. Can't see Freo giving up that much and would suspect Richmond won't take 9 high end picks. Will likely push a few in to next year or bundle them and do more 2 for 1's. Great content regardless.

[@daztalksfooty]

Thanks mate!

[@julianpowell7456]

good job brother, love they way you go about it

[@daztalksfooty]

Thanks legend, appreciate you watching and enjoying

[@MakeCakeNotWar]

A few thoughts 1. You're spot on about Dan Rioli, those two picks are paying slightly over but that's the market. 2. After watching alot of interviews with club recruiters on gettable, the point of trades is "To keep everyone happy". Fans overlook this alot. But just think of it from this point of view, you have a market place with only 18 buyers and sellers and you have to deal with them all at some point, or you're at least likely too. 3 I did the math on the failure rate on draft picks and it's alot worse than people's gut instinct says. (i.e people reading this will probably disagree) What I found was the top ten picks fail 30% of the time and you add 10% for each ten picks after that. 1-10 30% failure rate 11-20 40% 21-30 50% etc As an example the tigers had 5 in the top 30 in 2021. I full expect 2 of them to fail at least (i.e not play 100 games)

[@daztalksfooty]

Yeah the failure rate is getting better but it's not infallible

[@MakeCakeNotWar]

@@daztalksfooty Yeah, It was old data cause I wanted to judge failure on playing less than certain number of games. The players are definitely better prepared than ever, and the pathways are stronger.

[@Ben-ji-man]

This years draft by reports (as im sure you're well aware of) is deep, without a big gulf in talent within the first round. I think Freo would value those 3 picks higher than West Coasts Pick 3. Regardless, as a Richmond fan, I like that you made the video and appreciated diving into this hypothetical situation. Was good fun.

[@daztalksfooty]

Thanks mate, joy is what I'm after

[@brettgleadell3576]

[@ShadowLight-kn7rl]

Love me some draft/trade machinations Daz and jesus that hit like a steel chair! Haha love it. Only thing this leaves me wanting for more of... is a MEGA TRADE hypothetical. Would love to see a infinity Gauntlet trade deal involving the likes of Richmond, North, WC, GC, GWS, Melbourne, Port and Freo. Each of these 8 teams has something the other teams has and I'd be intrigued to see what could be traded in both players and draft picks to improve them all on equal terms of better themselves moving forward. Love your work mate. Might give this mega trade hypothetical a go myself but please feel free to do it yourself (if you like) cause I know you'll put together something really spicy

[@daztalksfooty]

Oh my friend, we are on the same page. Gonna have something juicy

[@joshhowie7657]

i love the wheeling & dealing. as a west coast fan i hope they don't take the baker bait. it messes up the deal a bit but the eagles need the high end pick. and probably get a good pick for barrass and run with that then go for baker freo still get bolton and the tigers still get a strong hand but for west coast i want pick 3

[@daztalksfooty]

More than understand that mate, glad you enjoyed! Pick 11 and something else for Barrass is already elite

[@joshhowie7657]

@@daztalksfooty while I have the great man here. What do you think about coughing up 2 firsts, 1 this year and 1 next and west coast throw in our future second. Means you guys would drop about 8 spots if you finish 5th next year and west coast finish bottom 3? It's a gamble but does that get it done.

Great job Daz, I don't think it will happen because clubs are to scared something like this will blow up on them. I'm not a tiger fan, but I think they should do it, the eagle s part looks good 4 them, if I'm freo I think it is overs for Bolton, very good player in a good team, just a average player in a poor team. IMO Daz.👍

I agree, Shai can be the cherry. Pretty damn good cherry

[@brianmurphy6243]

Bolton and average player . That's obviously coming from someone who only watches on Saturday afternoon. Like seriously?.

[@noahoconnor6887]

Trade later picks for Brisbanes pick 1 so than they can match bid for Levi Ashcroft. Hear me out: trade future 1st (and maybe some reassurance) for norths pick 2.

[@daztalksfooty]

Pick 14 as it stands for the Lions is really tricky because they're already 750 points behind a Pick 4 & Pick 25 bid on Ashcroft and Marshall. You'd need a surplus of 750 points in a trade. That's a steep climb to get there. 20, 21 and 22 are so powerful come the end of the first draft day (without the added trade with the Dees) 25, 33, 41 & 51 give a surplus of 819 which could work. Leaves Richmond with: 1, 3, 12, 14, 17, 20, 21, 22. If Brisbane went for it, that would be elite. North's Pick 2 will be for assets in this draft I'm afraid. They want two picks in the top 12

[@paulhenderson7868]

Good video. I think the tigers get better picks in return for Bolton and Rioli. They hold the whip hand in negotiations. They can walk away from these deals but can Freo or Gold Coast?

[@daztalksfooty]

Great question

[@Jacpark]

Bravo Daz, loving your work, If I could pick your brain here, I'm a Roo's fan, and well, most likely, end up with Pick 2, North is keen on Luke Tainer, who should be available later in the draft (Fingers Crossed) who do you think North could trade with to split Pick 2? That being said, I have also been impressed by Josh Smillie and Harry Armstrong.

[@daztalksfooty]

Reckon North will want to go to Freo tbh and go 8 and 13, what do you reckon?

[@Jacpark]

@@daztalksfooty Thats a great Deal, if Freo will go for it , I would say there would have to be some later pick swaps to sweeten the deal : PS Please tell me you will have a livestream on Draft night, last year's stream was the stuff or legend's

[@gustaaf1892]

If this plays out as you have outlined, you deserve a knighthood. Too many unlikely deals involved in this by my reckoning. I suspect it is likely to go pear-shaped with the very first one, which would then effectively stuff up a lot of subsequent ones. I don't think Freo will give up all those picks to get #3 from the Eagles, especially not in what is predicted to be a very even draft within the top half a dozen picks or so. What they in hindsight had to give to get those extra two first rounders is irrelevant now that they have them and shouldn't influence their thinking. I also don't think Freo would sell the farm to get Bolton. The other fly in the ointment could be North Melbourne splitting #2 for two decent first rounders if they believe they can draft two good key position prospects. I think Willem Duursma could be on their radar to join Zane. That could start a separate merry go round of pick trades to come up with something that would satisfy North, which could involve Freo. Anyway, always interesting to speculate and to explore the complexities of the upcoming trade period. I agree that if the Tigers don't bust their balls to get a great draft hand this year and next year, they are going to be screwed when Tassie comes in.

[@daztalksfooty]

Bolton isn't a huge loss, he is flashy, not consistent. Baker is a huge loss. He's a fast midfielder, a brilliant grubber. My favourite Tiger is gone.

[@daztalksfooty]

Bolton's a big loss, match winners are hard to find but they're the top up's, not really the guys who are there at the start of the rebuild, but the end

[@repfity11]

Like this for the Tiges This would set them up before Tassie comes in for the next few drafts You reckon the Eagles agree to pay Jack Graham enough money to get the Tigers a good Compo pick which could also be leveraged as part of the Liam Baker deal? I’m an WC fan and keen to hear what Tiger fans think?

[@daztalksfooty]

Don't reckon the Tigers would take a second rounder for Liam Baker but if they do, cha ching for the boys at Punt Road

[@Dani-jq6db]

Pick 17 is fair for Baker.

[@alejandroqartez]

Given that north would probability jump at trade of pick 2 for freos 8 and 13, i cant see west coast getting all three picks for pick 3. Unfortunately this means everything you've said after this became fantasy. Having said that, i enjoyed every speculation and hope you keep putting out videos like this. Thanks Daz

[@daztalksfooty]

North do wanna trade down but I'm hearing they're targeting a pick this year and next 👀 Glad you enjoyed!

[@alejandroqartez]

I'll keep an eye out and come back here to give you the deserved props if this is true. If north can get trainor and jonty faull from this draft, I'm happy, but Joe Berry, jonty and noah mraz/HOF would work for me too. Or all tall, jobe, jonty, mraz/HOF. I just think a third top 20 (22-24ish) pick makes a stronger draft hand for a kangaroos team still needing to improve considerably

[@brendanh8193]

​@@alejandroqartezI agree, North would gazump this. 2770 points (Freo) to 2517 (NM) is a lot fairer than 4437 (Freo) 2234 (WC). Of course, a lot can change over the next few weeks and if it is a PA-Freo grand final, the points from Freo become 2576 and 3561, respectively. Pick 2 for pick 8 and 17 is less appealing, though closer to evens. I'd still say that Freo's recruitment manager would be hung, drawn and quartered for trading all three, in either scenario.

[@brendanh8193]

​@@alejandroqartez As for targets, where would you rate Armstrong, Gerryn or the Whitlock twins, compared to your current targets?

[@alejandroqartez]

​@brendanh8193 , Armstrong would compliment north perfectly, but from every draft video I've seen I can't see him falling to North. I honestly know very little about Gerreyn, I though he was a ruck who moved forward, now it seems he's a good leading forward who can ruck, but I'm really not qualified to comment. Selfishly I want north to improve straight away and the Whitlock twins seem to need time to develop. North already have Wil Dawson as development tall and I'm getting a little tired of the promise with few results that north have dished out over the years. Some instant impact would go a long way for the fan base

[@biggi3st3v3]

2 issues i see with this. 1) 3 first rounders for pick 3 wont happen, maybe if the eagles give up their 2nd rounder as well tho. 2) i will throw up my lunch in shock if the eagles and dockers ever do a deal with each other like this. They dont deal with each other, let alone in such a huge way. BUT, as an eagle id love to see it happen cos we make out like bandits!😅

As long as Feo accept your version of "girl math" then it sounds reasonable. I don't see how that works though, it is the equivalent of my missus telling me that the $200 dress she bought is a bargain because she bought two for $20 last year at Kmart.

[@TheAlphaDingo]

as a Tigers fan, Bolton is definitely a 'cream on top' kind of player. A genuine match winner with a unique skillset that not many in the league can match. IF Freo think they are a chance at a flag tilt in the next 2-5 years, I reckon he'd be a great addition to them. Dusty rightfully got all the chocolates for the 2020 flag but if you watch the second half - late in the third and 4th quarter in particular, you can see flashes of Bolton's match winning brilliance that helped swing the result. He's fast, evasive, makes defenders nervous and seems to thrive when the stakes are high. Those are great weapons to have for any side going into September. Unfortunately for us, Bolton is probably a luxury that won't help us much in a rebuild and if his heart isn't fully in it, we're best moving him on while his trade value is high and we can negotiate from a position of strength. He (and probably some others) would probably flourish with a new lease of life elsewhere. Having tasted premiership success, I could imagine that it's hard to get that motivation up to those contender levels when it seems the team was on a post premiership decline.
