Nah we’re not in Berry’s range. Will end up a very nice small forward, though

Reckon he will be one of those end to end types due to his running capacity like a Dylan Moore at hawks

With some midfield time as well

Kako more the pressure forward in F50 that kicks lots of goals like a Nick Watson

 

[baldandbroke]

Want him. I can’t see any weakness in his game, only speed, evasiveness, ball winning, clean hands, good decision making, poise, good disposal, puts the ball to his team mates advantage.

I don’t get this lack of hurt factor. Surely if you’re effectively and consistently getting the ball to your teammates that’s hurt factor?

I like all of the suggested possibilities at our pick. They all have great potential.

Add any one of them on top of Curtin and our midfield has a real chance of breaking new ground in the coming seasons.

disclaimer : I have only watched his highlights but love what I see.

People throw around the term hurt factor too loosely imo and only see it with meters gained, loving
a lad kicking it 50 m breaking a line.
I read somewhere Jagga’s kicks averaged under 20m , but at 82 % de and half contested, thirty odd times a game.
To me that’s is hurt factor.

Yep

There's death by a thousand cuts players (Pendlebury, Sam Mitchell)

Then there's explosive, splash play guys (Petracca, Dangerfield, Dusty)

Jagga appears to be in the former category. I like him because we have never really had this type. We've had the crash n bash bulls. Not a lot of nuance or thought. He seems like a smart footballer and I'd love to have him.

You could argue Soligo has quite a bit of the former about him, too

Jagga’s more dynamic than Jake, though

 

[maxlilly]

Jagga looks the goods.
I'm sure the Crows will be able to make him a great small forward

 

[Mutineer]

Lalor and Draper are the game breakers in the top 10.

Lalor and Draper are the game breakers in the top 10.

And that might be why Richmond go with them at 1 and 2

They certainly should.

Couldn't agree more.

Just feel constantly on edge that we will over complicate this.

Any of the top 4 are great for us. Just take whoever is there! PLEASE

 

[Archie87]

Jagga Smith potentially sliding to pick 4 would be peak recruiters overthinking it... What's the knock? He attracts the footy too much in the contest and uses a 1-2 to get out? I'd be more than happy with the lad at 4....

 

[Untouchables22]

If I was Richmond, I'd be taking Lalor and Smith.

Get a midfielder who can be a game breaker and one who is an elite ballwinner and can facilitate.

Fair enough opinion too
