List Mgmt. 2024 Draft - Draftmas Day

[T4P]

I am not suggesting we straight out told him to play slow, see my post above for a more likely scenario.

But if you were in similar shoes to the player, would you actually be put off by us finishing 18th(due entirely to a historically bad run of injuries) & losing 3 "guns" but gaining 5 extra rd 1 picks for them in a strong draft - and opening huge cap space?

I certainly wouldn't. Even less so if my viable alternatives were North, Crows, Demons, Saints.

Would you want to take a player who's competitiveness isn't high enough to tell someone to gagf if they asked him to underperform?

I don't get the Smilie haters. Looks to be a fairly bankable player to be honest. Worst case a very handy larger mid and best case could really dominate once he gets a few pre-seasons under his belt.

The only thing that worries me about Smilie is his Contested Mark. He took 1 for an entire year against other 18 year olds.

someone his size with his ball winning ability, decision making and disposal and hard tackling. whats to hate? because hes not a great overhead mark as a midfielder?

It's a shame that his contested marking is listed as an area for improvement, with his size I reckon he could be a nightmare against defenders when sneaking forward otherwise.

If Smillie was an elite contested mark, he would be the best young player of the last 20 years, better than Harley Reid, JHF

Focus on what he can do, not what he might be able to do

Noted.

I'm back off to watch his highlights.

Twomey has doubled down on Allan at 6. Bra…….

[TigerTime88]

Berry looks 12 years old on Gettable.

 

[tiger_tough]

Gonna melt if we go Allan ahead of Smillie.

I heard this over the weekend. It’s happening gif

We ain’t taking 2 inside mids with significant endurance concerns at 1 & 6

 

[richard parker]

The idea Richmond would suggest to a player that they tank to any degree is ridiculous. What happens when that leaks? Why would Richmond be so stupid and take that risk? Would set the club back a long way.

I don't think he has significant endurance concerns. Might not be a strength but not a big concern.

FFS, we're gonna botch this draft aren't we. Allan has tall, average, 20 disposal outside midfielder written all over him.

Dow almost delisted this year because he can’t keep up with opposition mids in transition. His testing was better than Smillies!

 

[M0557]

I keep thinking about who we are going to end up with, and I constantly have Draper as someone I want.....

We are blessed for so many top-end picks for tomorrow night.....

Dow was almost delisted because he's not very good at football.

If you watch Allen’s games he is an inside beast. Gave Draper a bath in their champs game

Would you melt if we went 1. Lalor 6. Allan? I would probably stop caring who we pick after that.

Allan has Francis Jackson written all over him.

 

[jetbhag]

Will Jobe S be available at pick 10 or 11 surely we target one key forward.

Pretty confident we get Sam L and Josh S (1&6)

Thanks Einstein

so.... in the event that Draper, Smillie and Allan are all on the board at Pick 6 (7), CT still thinks we'd go for Allan?

Our WA recruiter must be very keen.....

If Draper is on the board it would give me anxiety.....

Again, trust Blair and in this case, our WA Recruiter....

 

[Morro]

Cant wait for the melts from all those who have no ****ing idea.

 

[lvt06]

Josh Smillie is set to go to Richmond with his second pick but Cal says it's "a 50/50 call because Bo Allan is absolutely in the mix". Could Smillie then drop further to Richmond's third pick? "It's not locked in at all," Cal says.

Why would we pick Allan then? His endurance is rated average (same as Smillie).
