Preview 2024 National Draft Preview Thread Part Deux - Draft Picks: 2 (R1), 62 (R4), 76 (R5), 86 (R6)

[DuckYeah]

I want FOS and Tauru so bad I really can't pick between them. Both will fill multiple gaping holes for us

Taurus disposal is below shit. His kicking is god awful, he makes buckets magoo look like Wellsy

 

[Nutjob]

It seems LDU leaving will be due to lack of success here, so you'd think he'd want to go to a better team that is ready for finals, I'm no expert but saints seems flip of the coin at best to be finals bound over next few years

They’re a mid table team going nowhere.

I can understand the Saints looking at Travaglia. Suits the Ross Lyon gamplan of run all day athletes. Surprised they wouldn't take Bo Allan though instead of Tauru.

 

[Nutjob]

How similar as a player and athletically is FOS to Kieren Harper?

I remember Harper was super athletic in testing for sprints and vert leap etc. Could do the mercurial, but just couldn’t find the footy at AFL level…and ultimately that was his downfall.

Edit: Just realised Harps was 187cm too, wow didn’t know he was that tall.

Injuries had a major impact on Harper not making it.

Below is a ripper. Apparently it's our ineptitude if Twomey is right, St. K miss out on their targets and we have to make do with the most talented player in the draft.

Hahaha this is certainly a take…comedy gold

Draft isn’t as fun when we don’t have 5 first rounders

See above. Or hang out in the aints draft thread, it’s still pretty fun, just a different sort of fun

Yeah but now we have proper coaching unlike when Buckets got drafted, so that can get better. Also he doesnt need to be a distributor. The reason why we've recruited McKercher, Daniel, Fisher Sheezel etc is so they provide the legspeed and penetrating kicks at ground level, while our big men do all the aerial work.

 

[justroyal]

Quick one. What makes FOS rated higher than say Draper?

 

[justroyal]

Thurs spoke more about Tauru than FOS. And then Twomey trying to push him to ‘you’ve drafted so many mids’

 

[Augustine]

I actually think FOS will have a better first year at half back than sheez and Kerch. He will tackle, spoil, harass and not give up easy goals.

That’s a massive call.

Sheezel and Colby had extraordinary first seasons.

Umm. You get found out really bad in defence of your disposal isn’t up to scratch. And a number 2 pick should have great disposal, not below par.

He's good in the air, as well.

I think that Daniel is taking that role, though.

They were good but Kerch in particular cost us goals from not being use to the position. Sheez less so but similar.

FOS attacks the footy and man like wardlaw light. He’s also a genuine intercept marking option. He may or may not = the drive out of defence as the other two but he’ll be able to play man on man much better imo

FOS could be a real weapon all over the ground next year.

Just like Nahas had a weapon all over the ground when he played for us?

If we pick FOS does Will Phillips get a game next year?

We can trade Will to tigers next year for a 1st rounder considering what they paid for Hopper.

If only it wasn't inside his shorts

Nothing. I'd be happy with Draper at 2.
Our midfield is diverse enough that we can accommodate different types to compliment it.

They have different strengths.

Could we get 27 of lions and promise not to bid on Ashcroft maybe for a future pick and 62

[hilly]

I know a saints supporter who is convinced LDU is going to them also. Why would LDU choose that club seems completely lost on them.

58 years without a flag has messed with their minds. And I'm only half joking.

Do they need that pick to match Ashcroft?

 

[Shack18]

Traded in picks…
You either can’t read or stupid
As in f1 or f2

Settle down, I enjoy your posts but your behaviour is ordinary. Show some respect

 

[Moti]

Draper interviews so well. I like the package.

 

[krakouers]

Would hope they need more than eyebrows to match that bid
