[_RT_]

 

[the underdog]

FOS last two outings for Xavier College in the APS.

July 20


July 27


It's a couple of rungs below U18 Champs level, but good to see him getting some footy and hopefully building some confidence.

Haven't drawn a line through his name...yet!

Lalor got BOG and kicked 2.

I wonder if he played mid or more forward?

I'll go out on a limb here and say we will never know.

Lindsay was as impressive as always in difficult conditions, winning plenty of the ball and battling to hit targets through the tricky wind. Swimming the channel, climbing mount Everest, and kicking goals into the wind at Williamstown oval... these are some of the toughest challenges known to mankind, but Xavier and his Gippsland teammates made it look easy in the fourth quarter as they pulled away to record an impressive win.

Cal Twomey suggested we could trade Baker and Bolton to Fremantle for picks 6, 12, 15, and then Dan Rioli to Gold Coast for picks 7 and 10 (we'd likely have to give a sweetener back the other way).

How would people feel about this? I'd do it in a heartbeat.

Rocking up to the draft with 1, 6, 7, 10, 12, 15 plus possibly a couple of second rounders, that's a crazy start to a rebuild.

Yes, then split pick 1 for a godfather offer. Jesus Christ I don’t care if we get the spoon this is gonna be elite.

The way things are going for us I'd pencil them in for a flag if we did that

While their first pick is stripped for some weird breach of the rules

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

I wouldn't think so.


Maybe.

You changed your mind pretty quick.

 

[guruisatiger]

Warwick.

Dionne. Great soul singer

 

[guruisatiger]

GC pick #6 is looking really juicy to me

Rioli for #6 + #11

Draper , Lalor would be a really nice double

11 ? Will turn into 18

 

[guruisatiger]

Osteoporosis setting in early.

No good at fingergate
Hugh remmington would be happy

Might snap off in there

What pick do we expect Murphy Reid to go?

8-12

Just trying to give you the answer you wanted.

11 ? Will turn into 18

14 at latest, if St Kilda get Band 1 compo for Battle.

 

[YeOldTiger]

What pick do we expect Murphy Reid to go?

I have him at 5-8. Many draft analysts have him Top 10 but I've also seen him out in the teens. He's a terrific player no doubt about that.

Could be any order Top 5

Jagga
Draper
Ashcroft
Smil
Lombard

Any order 5-10

FOS
Lalor
Reid
Langford
Trainor

Any order 11-15

Armstrong
Allan
Travaglia
Kako
Lindsay


Any order 16-20

Hynes
Whitlock J
Moraes
Berry
Shanahan

Throw a blanket over the next 21-30+

Whitlock M
Faull
Sims
Gross
Oliver
Marshall
Mraz
Hotton (?)
Champion
Camporeale B
HOF
Etc etc etc

Deep draft.

6 effective disposals

I know he's underdone, is he normally more polished than that?

Maybe the Christian brothers were there making him nervous

Guy got voted 2nd best. Those stats are surely not accurate.

does seem odd at that level.

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

No you draft based on what they have showed from U16's through to their last game of U18's with the view of how well that will translate. Which when fit FOS showed last year why he was the no.1 player in this draft and we can use those performances against the other draftees who have been able to get on the track and perform this year. Like the game below for example.



You weren't talking about our pick 1, you were talking about 2024 performances and I named 5 guys who have arguably performed better. Smilie has gone from being overrated to being underrated very quickly, his Coates league form was very good, he played well vs VFL sides for the AFL academy and while he is champs was underwhelming that in part had to do with the amount of hype he had in the lead up.

Gone off him, for number 1 pick, on this showing...nice player though, takes a good grab, good kick, hangs around the fringes...
For a number 1 draft pick I would want a player able to exert influence on the game's progress...

 

[LTT]

Would you use pick 1 on him ?
It’s all opinion based and how much improvement you think he has in him, so it’s a fair bit of crystal balling from all of us.
I think it’s a good bet that he’s going to be a very good AFL player and you could argue it’s a safe bet to take him at one, but imo there’s more dynamic options with greater upside.
Also, he’ll get monstered at AFL level, you see the size of AFL mids today, even the shorter mids have body mass/strength.

I think we will be looking for outside midfielders to rotate through and to complement TT and Hopper. Langord and Lombard seem ideal. Maybe we could force a pick swap with GC in return for bidding on Ashcroft first and Langford second and not bidding on Lombard. Jagga Smith seems unlikely to still be available at our second pick unfortunately. Who would still be available at the start of the second round.
