It just looks like such a can't miss an A grade midfielder draft with our pick that we have to be thinking of doing something unexpected. How can we lose choosing between FOS, Draper and Smith? Stay tuned folks.
Esp if to Blues.
Saints or Kangas may be different but if we want Draper we need to get him THIS draft

Good for the lad but would love to have a pick for him
They think he’ll slip through to rookie draft but one of 2/3 should grab him there
Agree with first sentence
BUT if Dees really wanted Tauru surely their best strategy is to NOT disclose this in any way, therefore lulling Kangas into false sense of safety and allowing Kangas to slip from 2 to 6 with Tiges as the easiest and most appropriate trade partner (re the abundance of late first round picks they have).
Dees then strike and take Tauru at 5
Based on their seemingly public interest in Tauru actually means they DONT want him IMO

If Jagga Smith was available at 
and Draper and FOS were already selected than take Smith
Not convinced about trading up to pick
to take Jagga Smith
Smith looks the safe bet of the draft but I think our midfield needs more explosive punch factor- that’s why I prefer Draper or FOS

My only worry with J Smith is that it sounds like he is an accumulator but questions marks over hurt factor and speed? Like a mini Mrouch?
Sounds like would be a good get but not sure if that exactly the type of mid we need?

That top group of mids all look great, would realistically be happy with any one. But to my eye, Lalor and Smith are the two who are virtually guaranteed to be stars. Fingers crossed if we move up it's for one of them.
I think Schoenberg and Strachan are likely to be moved on next year too.
We won’t mess this one up
The only we we could I think is if we traded our future 1st to get higher which is unnecessary
Reckon Langford is a more guaranteed AFL mid than FOS personally and can’t go wrong with the others
Speed - above average
Agility - elite
Not very Matt crouch re above
He will make everyone around him better , he will also hurt teams through weight of numbers and not wasting the footy , has all tools to take more risks with ball in hand too
His tape is remarkably similar to Butters as a junior. Hits the stoppage at speed and then has amazing lateral movement and awareness to stay untouched, then makes very good decisions with disposal. His kick is fine but certainly not a weapon, again probably Butters being the good comparison. I personally don’t think he’s anything like Crouch, his agility and lateral movement in close is more like Rankine probably, but without the freakish goal sense that Isaac has. He will very quickly become a crowd favorite with his sublime awareness of pressure around him and the sheer numbers he’ll rack up.
Definately has massive hurt factor.
I think it’s crap. Every year we say how tight the Crows list mgt team is re absolute secrecy for players wanted in the draft.If Jagga Smith was available at

Smokescreen and misinformation.

Think it can ... but deal needs to be worked out / agreed to in advance.
Once a club has to make a pick on draft night, they have something like 5 mins before it (live trading) all has to be done ..... and the more complex a deal (eg 3-club deals), the more risk it fails.
All subject to future trade constraints (able to future trade; full basket of either F1 or F2,F3,... picks; can't trade pick back if pick originally came from same club; ...?)

Can you ask for an extension?
It was the perfect draft for Nicks to "tank" lol. We were worry the Saints would finish below us with the outlandish Band 1 FA compensation for Battle and rightly so.
Jagga Smith's apparent lack of "hurt factor" sounds like BS to me. It remains to be seen if he gets to those heights but look at Nick Daicos, the player who Jagga models himself on as well, his 2021 Rookie Me Central draft profile stated "impact per kick" as a weakness and we all know how damaging that kid is.
Players who weave themselves out of congestion and get a 1-2 posession chain out of stoppage are worth their weight in gold...

I haven't seen smith play. all I can do is trust the brainstrust at the AFC that they have done their rankings and he is the best for us based on years of research.
