Sliding Doors: 2024 Draft

IF 10,000 people saw a TikTok about the Nana's draft...

THEN it's lucky I trimmed it before Henry Hustwaite at Pick 9.

---

IF you get to Pick 13 and say "there's no one left"...

THEN I think that says enough about how your draft played out.

Neil Erasmus (Pick 13) was the biggest draft bolter on Sunday.

IF there was ever a time to be dealing with an injury crisis...

THEN it's at the start of the season. The reigning premiers are still red-hot favourites.

IF you take Max's draft day approach and ignore the importance of a forward line...

THEN the wooden spooners are actually building quite nicely.

IF there were four premiership contenders ahead of the 2024 season...

THEN after falling in love with rookies again on draft day, there's now just three.

IF you made a record number of trades over summer...

THEN it's lucky you landed the best player in the draft at Pick 2.

Ryley Sanders was taken by FILT FC with Pick 2.

IF any draft haul flew under the radar on Sunday...

THEN it is the runners up. Added some crucial forward pieces after being gutted by DPP removals.

IF Caleb Windsor turns out to be an Errol Gulden clone...

THEN, and only then, does taking the pure winger at No. 5 make sense.

IF you managed to walk out of the first two rounds with Zac Fisher (10), Harry Himmelberg (14) and Brent Daniels (20)...

THEN you might just be one midfielder away from sneaking into finals.

IF ever there was a first round selection that could make or break a season...

THEN it is 30-year-old Alex Sexton in his new half-back role.

IF you traded away Toby Greene because you didn't think you could compete with the big three...

THEN some of your selections on draft day might say otherwise.
