No , we will take Jagga smith no sweat I think

No we won't, if it's between Smith and Langford I have it on good authority that Hamish loves Langford as a player

I'd hope we aren't letting Hamish have final say

Goes against what almost everyone else has said.

Interesting

do you know how Hamish views Lalor and/or Draper?

 

[crow2crow]

Because people at club have said they love him as a prospect and think he's a Dawson clone

ok thanks
i pass though sorry

Interesting !

You well could be right but it seems the club is sending out different signals to different people

Which is prob what they should do

I’ve heard Jagga rated 1 , Draper very highly too and now Langford possibly above both

 

[WeeBlake]

Hamish picking the slowest player in the draft with pick 4 would be … controversial, on here

hopefully hes gone so hamish cant pick him

Got him rated about 6th so don’t think it’s out of the question

Also think he’s the 2nd best performed mid this season after Levi

Both above Langford on his list, if either Lalor or Draper are available we'll be picking them. But if both are gone and it's a decision of Langford or Smith then Hamish has his favourite. (Weather the whole recruiting team agrees, that I don't know)

Unsure about O'Sullivan as he wasn't discussed in the conversation I had over the weekend. This is all 3rd hand info.

My info is at least 3 degrees away so yeah this is possible

Storm clouds brewing for the draft then

I’d say Jagga Draper Lalor FOS Langford all feature prominently in the talent order

Wouldn’t be completely finalised yet , prob another 4 weeks away post interviews etc and home visits. And yes Hamish might well love Langford he’s had a brilliant season

But I think those are the ones , smilie too maybe

And I thought JHF name was extended

 

[Danger in Texas]

Ahh damnit

 

[Peter Doherty]

I'm all for us bringing in some bogan names like Jagga.

The prospect of Hamish pulling a Hamish and going outside what is a generally agreed established order of talent with our pick 4 sends shivers down my spine.

well twomey has langford pretty high to be honest but i dont think he fits the need. we need speed and explosiveness and preferably elite spot up kick

I don't think there's a generally agreed order of talent.

I’m sure whoever he picks will be a “cracking lad from a great family” though.

There is no consensus in the top 12 of this draft

Very different to last year

For example I’ve got Travaglia in top 3 and haven’t seen anyone else push him that high

Others have Murphy Reid that high and I’ve got him mid teens to 20

It’s very even with lots of very good players , not quite the stand out stars like Reid and Mckercher of last year

 

[arsene wenger1]

im happy with any of the 4 so we cant lose

Watch Ogilvie pick a random

 

[crow2crow]

I don't think there's a generally agreed order of talent.

given picks 1,2,3 are up for grabs it suggests the recruiters have no idea who to pick and don't want to be blamed for screwing it up

 

[crow2crow]

Watch Ogilvie pick a random

a KPD from tassie

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Am i the only one surprised by Tobie’s time? Thought he was a lot faster than that

Travaglia? Reminds me of Brodie smith who didn’t test that quick but played quick when he started
