Can you not see us rolling with a Weitering/Haynes/Gov situation? Then a combo of Saad, Cowan, Boyd, Ollie and Doc off the half-back? JSOS as stand-in/backup for the latter 2, and Young/Durdin backup for Weiters?
That's my take.
At least the club saw fit to come to QLD again after not having a single game up here in 2025. But flat about that.
Miss the days at Southport Sharks though
Lord oh Lord. If this kid has improved his tank, he could displace George as soon as early-2025. Can't discount how a Lord-Jagga combo would complement us with their chemistry over the next 10+.
Formally checking in for the offseason. Get at it, boys.
Can't wait to see who puts their hand up to play R1 (Jagga aside, who's a monty).
Big watch for me on Doc, Lord, SOS, Mots and Haynes. They're the five (plus Jagga) who I expect to push for selection and have a close eye on.
I know that the consensus around here is that we are dead so keen on a key position player at 40 all but is Austin?
Nek minute we pick a flanker or inside slow mid at 40 😅
Surely its a KPP for us tonight + the Campos. Any inside word out there?
Would love Shanahan but he'll go next two for sure.
O'Farrell is the best fit from what I've seen of the KPDs but I saw someone say something about concussions issues?
Logically, if the word is few else are going to bid and we're taking him anyway... why would you give us draft capital to just bid earlier... to make us pay more?
SOS isn't that stupid.
Did I see last night that Saints traded out 32 to move up to 28? I swear I saw that somewhere. Maybe they did and it's been ironically pushed back out to 32. At the time, I thought "they wouldn't do that just to bid earlier - they want someone".
As they're probably our biggest threat for a bid...
My 7 year old son and I just watched with big smiles as Jagga became the latest Blue. Gonna be a fave in our household. May just prove to be a core memory for my boy after he turned to me straight after and said "I want to be an AFL player one day".
Maybe he will, and we can look back at this...
I honestly don't know what to tell my son if we don't take Jagga at this point. He's already been singing Moves like Jagga and imagining a Robbie Williams rendition.
Wonder if we saw someone like Moraes slide into the 30s whether we take him or go with the best available key back...
Also wondering if Sellwood is in our sights if he gets to rookie draft or whether we jump ahead of WC in the main draft.
You say that but his second half way way better and his interview on Gettable showed that he's infinitely coachable. Daicos had a lot of seagull possessions first few years. Jagga's footy IQ is right up there with Nick's. Plus he has leadership and maturity beyond his years. I see no reason why...
I see loads of Daicos in Jagga. I believe his impact could be the same in a professional environment.
Hoping we call out his name in a few nights time.
Right? The 'arm wrestle' comment might've been inferring the Crows looking to get up to 2 (widely speculated) to beat us to him.
So, it appears like (as at today), the options are:
1. Richmond - Lalor
2. North - Tauru
3. Carlton - Draper/FOS (unsure on order)
4. Adelaide - FOS/Draper
OR
1...
I'm definitely getting more comfortable with either of the top five the closer we get. I'm least sold on Lalor and FOS for different reasons, but can make cases for every player (including Jagga, Draper and Langford) being a 250 game player for us.
Bring on the draft.
The last time we went with an obsessive 'fast mid' focusing on speed out of the contest above other things... well, it didn't work out so well. In saying that, Draper is not Dow.
Tell you what. Not many weaknesses to his game - maybe the least question marks of anyone in the draft, even considering Jagga and Ashcroft. Wouldn't be unhappy if we pick him at all. Looks bust proof.
Worry about his overuse of the left but boy is it damaging - would walk in as the second-best...
He was trying to say FOS is in the conversation for #1 but mispoke then quickly corrected himself after he said that "Finn is in the c***... conversation for pick 1".
