AFL: Bulldogs great Brad Johnson fires up over Jake Stringer's potential trade to GWS and whether he's good enough to play every week.
The early picks up for grabs amid flurry of AFL trade calls… and how it could affect clubs’ draft choicesBut considering the nature of the deep and talented 2024 pool, there’s just as much intrigue around clubs acquiring draft picks .breaks down the state of play around this year’s first-round draft picks , with some clubs open to shifting down the order, others eyeing a move up and some even keen to move selections to next year.
Rival clubs, all year, have suspected North would lean towards taking a key-position player with its first pick at November’s national draft – a strategy Montagna agrees with. But the top of this year’s draft class primarily features midfielders, who have a deeper body of work compared to Tauru.

“As everyone’s aware the draft is very strong, so the offer we’ve put forward is strong on any given year, but particularly this year we believe it to be a strong offer,” Fremantle footy boss Peter Bell told
