Jagga never wastes a disposal

Conservatively went at 85% DE this year

How many times have we bemoaned the fact we kick straight to intercept markers , having Jagga improves this straight up

Even the way he links in other players with handball can help get the ball over congestion

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

It also stops someone else trading for the NM pick, or NM picking a midfielder instead of Tauru.

I think we want one of Smith, Draper and Lalor - and there's still some risk at 4 that isn't going to happen.

Is it a risk if Roos keep pick #2 & are committed to Tauru?

1 of them likely falls to us.

 

[GrommoT]

Can you ask for an extension?

I think clubs can - but probably only one - still limited time to get it done.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

The 1 club player stuff matches up with what another poster (can’t remember who) said about him a while back

Some players may appear to be more 1 club players on the surface, but no one really knows as circumstances can always change.

Yup, often loyal characteristics is what actually promotes a go home factor. Wants to be home with friends and family.

Agreed. Most people would think they're going to be one club players initially

 

[Big Dub]

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...

He also apparently took on board the "lack of hurt" feedback from coaches and worked on this for a noticeable difference by year end.

Suspect that's something he could continue to work on this in a professional environment.

Ooooh, the anti Laird

 

[grundog49]

I am usually someone who loves to chime in with the "doesn't do much with it though" when a draft prospect is an accumulator. But in this case I think Jagga bucks this trend enough and has the skills to be more damaging if required. Great chance to add a solid midfielder with some stoppage craft a little more comprehensive than handballing backwards, booting it long or telegraphing a left foot kick (no offence Daws).

 

[hippyhippy]

If the report we are trying to trade up to get Smith are true then I can't see we won't select Smith at pick 4?

I think it's just all mind games and afl hyping up the draft... We'll get either Draper or Smith imho ... Both good picks

 

[dogs105]

Here's my plan

Trade with NM for Pick 2

Then stun them by selecting Tauru

North panic. Offer them our F1 + Butts for Pick 4

Can you trade players on the night? Oh... damn. Scratch all that

As long as we get some special teams help, you pancake eating mother****er

 

[Macca19]

Any talk of Jagga having lack of hurt factor is rubbish. He makes smart decisions and his team retain possession. That to me is hurt factor

I think people confuse speed and power with hurt factor.

Give me a footballer with decent speed and great footy brain rather than a lightning runner who turns it over.

 

[Viva la Mattner]

I’d be more than happy with Jagga Smith

Looks a 200 gamer

Watching him I get he is similar to say Adam Treloar

Is this a joke? He's talking about Peter.

Have I ever told the story about my friend who went to a grand final party in 1992? They were allocated a player from each team. Had to have a drink for each possession, and finish an entire drink for each goal.

He drew Peter Matera and Gary Ablett.

So he doesn’t just blindly handball to a flat footed ruckman with an opponent hanging off him? Would make a nice change from our current mids.

 

[rumour_troll_626]

The club still thinks Draper is likely to be there at 4 , probably a 70-75% chance.

But if they can get up to 2 for a relatively cheap price, then it’s worth it to have that guarantee.

Jagga Smith is our plan B, if the trade doesn’t happen and Draper is gone.

 

[Cromulant]

I mean if you're going to troll, go hard with the username too

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Smith looks pretty slight - do we think he could add on upper body mass without impacting his agility/speed?

This is my biggest concern with Smith

 

[Cromulant]

This is my biggest concern with Smith

Wouldn't worry too much

 

[ams4crows]

Do we really think Carlton are gonna pass over FOS the whole reason they moved up to 3, the best mate of Harley Reid and Sam Walsh

's cousin to draft Draper??

 

[Chances Are]

Don't think it'll matter at all really.

Money talks.

 

[Cromulant]

Money talks.

Exactly right

 

[Crow_68]

Do we really think Carlton are gonna pass over FOS the whole reason they moved up to 3, the best mate of Harley Reid and Sam Walsh's cousin to draft Draper??

Again, just media speculation.

If I’m in the media, I’m suggesting Carlton desperately wanted to move ahead of us to grab Draper.
