I'd melt bigtime if we took Tauru over Draper, I just don't get what we don't like about Draper compared to Tauru.
Tauru has one amazing skill and needs a tonne of time and development, is his ceiling literally Jake Lever 2.0? - happily take him if he's there at 9, but 5 is a massive reach...
I don't really know how focus groups work tbh, but surely there's a bit of bias towards filling them with nuffies who have too much time on their hands. I wouldn't trust anyone in a focus group to be representative of the general population
Yeah I wonder what his drawbacks are compared to others in the top 5/6, he looks very balanced inside-out and works hard defensively as well, very professional, skills seem reasonable. I agree he looks very much a top 3 prospect on face value.
Perhaps footskills aren't a strength of his -...
yeah the 6-6-6 rule was a doozy, a lot of things went wrong in 2019 but that killed a lot of offensive innovation. 2021 just about everything went right, we were more defensive but there was a balance and we were still capable of some free-flowing football. That seems to have entirely...
**** I miss Sam Frost now that I'm watching that game, he's a maniac. You simply have to play a psychotic brand of footy when he's in the team. Undoubtedly the architect behind Hokball.
Yeah it's all coaching, the personnel we had on the ground that day was hardly full of elite ball users, we just had an aggressive mindset and played on at every opportunity, and occasionally we got burnt the other way. Melksham was elite at delivering inside 50 but his job was so much easier...
Reckon we can shoehorn him in as a fourth key forward for a couple of years beside JVR, Petty and Turner, while Jefferson runs around at Casey.
We can be a bit creative with this pick, the top tier will be off the board so we can take a bit of risk at someone either coming off a major injury...
I'd be fairly happy with any of the top 5 outside Ashcroft who happens to be left over. FOS, Smith, Langford, Lalor and Draper seemingly the consensus unless North reach for someone.
Tigers - Langford or Smith
North ??? - might reach for someone based on perceived need, may end up trading down...
Sounds like a google search that will put me on a government watch list. Is that real?
edit: ok perhaps unsurprisingly google gave me a lot of my little pony pictures, and zero photos of Jack Grimes. Feeling thankful for safe search
