How do you know they’re best mates? I have no doubt they’ve crossed paths and were both in the AFL academy together but it appears they have played a very limited number of games together?

Such tragic news, life is so short. Sending condolences to his family and everyone close to him!

Having players at different stages in their development, contracts expiring at different times and talent spread over two years would have it’s benefits. I’d be very surprised if we traded out a first rounder tomorrow for a future first. However on draft night if clubs want to reach for a...

I appreciate the message but both of those are Covid years which made recruiting very different, difficult years to compare too.

Sun’s have a lot of academy prospects next year, they’re already trying to get a first rounder for next year from Collingwood and the value of points is also changing so I’d be surprised if the Suns won’t to give up a future pick.

FOS no longer in any of their top three’s is interesting.

He was third last month, has only played two games since and his impact wasn’t as high as others around him.

FOS now at seven is interesting.

I think this is a really good and wise perspective, I would also love to see his TOG. Between having multiple injuries, completing year twelve, playing school footy, the U/18 carnival, the Coates League and U/18 I can totally appreciate how difficult it would be to have continuity and build up...

Based on what??

To be fair Jagga also missed games due to the National Carnival and played three games for our VFL side, lets not start creating false narratives mate.

Unrealistic mate, i think if the trade in centred around us getting picks 9 & 10 it’s a fair and good trade. We would likely have to do include and additional pick or two back to Freo but with the number of picks we’re likely to end up with that shouldn’t affect us.

I feel as though posters try to use a Jagga Smith and Tom Mitchell comparison in a negative way. Tom Mitchell is a 200 game player, Brownlow medalist, premiership winner, Leigh Matthew’s trophy winner, three time club BnF winner and a multiple time All Australian. I know Tom Mitchell’s no...

I haven’t mentioned any chronic injuries. However, if a player has multiple injuries during their draft year it does perceive them to be a riskier selection. FOS hasn’t been able to deliver onfield to the level that was expected so it’s reasonable for that lack of form to impact peoples...

Absolutely right mate, i think it’s what makes the decision so interesting and challenging. We’re not comparing two comprisable seasons as to who’s had the better year, it’s two very different years. Personally i think it’s really clear where Jagga’s talents sit and feel between now and the...

I find myself going between Jagga and FOS, if we’re able to compare them both to Brownlow medalists we’re in a position to draft a really good prospect. My concern with FOS has been his inability to remain fit throughout the season, the talent is there but if the fitness issues continue...

I think with how current football is played blokes like Nick Daicos, Lachie Neale, Caleb Serong, Zac Merrett, Chad Warner, Harry Sheezel, Erol Gulden and Chad Warner have all been looked at as “stat padders” or had their disposal impacts question, however they’re also viewed as some of the best...

Jagga just racks them up!

It appears thar FOS missed another weekend of football. Certainly has the talent but it does make kt hard to read where he’ll be drafted.

Interesting, thank you! I think it could help us avoid having a pick pushed back due to Battle compo but i’d imagine it makes Graham’s compo less unless he gets a 4+ year deal.

I’m confused are the changes to free agency compensation for this year or next?

This shows exactly why we cannot let so many senior players go, thats a scary weak core. Graham also lets set to go.

Relax mate, he’s 18. Plenty of time to fill out.

I’m not sure how losing three of our most important players all in the same period is a “dream”.

Looks like academy rules are changing for this year and clubs will be able to now match bids from their academy players anywhere in the draft and not just after pick 40...

Lockwood hasn’t been spoken about as a top 40 pick though? The rule change wouldn’t have any impact on that would it?

Is Armstrong a NGA? Based on current rules we could only het him if he’s outside of the top 40, yeah?

Brian Leys has three sons aged between 11 and 15.

if there’s a spare spot in either platform i’d be keen to join! :)
