Full season highlights of the slick, classy and clever Murphy Reid. It was an incredibly successful season for Murphy who was named as the MVP of a Vic Metro team that won the Champs, as well as being one of the driving forces of a Sandy Dragons team that stomped their way to another Talent League flag.

Couple of months ago, the likely number 1 for us through speculation was Jagga and then maybe FOS. Lalor wasn't mentioned in pick 1 contention.
We were actually linked to Lalor at 6

What's changed to suggest we MUST take Lalor at 1?

If we took FOS at 1, would we be ANY chance of Lalor at 6? Or do we have reason to believe Lalor wouldn't be there at all at 6?

I would be happy with either as I think they are the best 2 to pick from.
People are pulling names out of their arse.
 
Interested in your thoughts on FOS v Lalor. You’ve voted FOS, but how close is Lalor? What separates them?
Super close, that's why I want pick 2.

Only personal preference separates them. I think FOS is a bit of a genius, while Lalor is a brute. Want both.

If FOS gets to 5, I would offer a future first plus for 5 and 9 from Melbourne

one of our later picks as we can only take 8 anyway

that would give us six picks in the top 15, pretty reasonable base to develop off

and I would tell Melbourne, we are playing the kids so you figure out were we end up end of 2025

if we did this we could trade up for Saints pick 8 to lose a pick

The argument would be we are so invested in this draft, our list profile centres around this draft, given the high amount of high draft picks to, we are forcing ourselves to play and develop the kids, that is not tanking, that is where our list assets are at like a GWS/GC expansion club scenario

if we had that much high end talent the draft kids would be mad not to stick together as they have the collective nucleus to get where they want to go down the track, it is mainly a question of application, buy in and time

from a marketing position to fans, if we were that heavily invested in this draft, no fan base would mind us just developing for the 2025 year, forget results, because of the future assets at our disposal, even the likes of Taranto would drool, and Lynch might say f... 2025, I am going to stick around and see what happens for a year or two, or maybe stretch it out to four. Hell Dusty might make a comeback in 2026, lol, Fans simply sit back and watch in particular the young talent on display, how they are developing in 2025, and have dreaming episodes as to how far away before we explode back up again

Yze, being ex-melb, can say to Melbourne, nah, we are not bullshitting you, we really are playing and developing the kids, I am the coach and these kids are going to get me were we need to go, along with the rest, and my development of these kids in particular will give me an extension unless the CEO is batshit crazy

Praying for Lalor and Jagga. Think they just compliment each other so much. Both leaders as well
jagga wouldve been a star in dummas dynasty sides

cant hit a target

wouldve just hacked it forward and we win by 5 goals more than we did
 
Endurance is the biggest separator for mine. I know FOS’ is ridiculous.
Endurance can be worked on though. Added into the fact hes barely had a decent pre-season as they have been spent playing cricket. Thats the biggest factor for me. 2 full on pre-seasons dedicated to footy with what we've seen. I just think he could be special

Without a doubt the best highlights package of all the players in 2024

His marking & kicking are exquisite, and tackling is fierce. Ball handling and reading of the play is A+
Whilst we have no info about his speed he look just as quick as FOS & Jagga at the least

Kid is a weapon
Left hand handball is elite
 
That HUN mock adds up then, based on the loose mail. Feels like the picture is getting a little clearer

1. Lalor
7. Smillie
13. Allan
14. Whitlock

then the HUN mock has us going

21. Hynes, who we get mocked to a lot
24. Dodson
27. Gross
28. Oliver
if the club is really going to draft a whitlock or any tall at 11, then those would be my preferred first 4 picks

with hopes and prayers that hotton lasts til our 5th pick
 
Feel like FOS is the only optimistic part, but the reality is someone out of FOS, Smillie, Smith, Draper, Langford will be there; Smillie most likely, which is still totally fine.

Yeah only a little optimistic, but I'd be over the moon with that haul. 2 more good F1's aswell that would be a dream scenario.
 
What's your thoughts on J Whit Bob?

I rate him. He’s got AFL athletic talent and I envision him being a super tall forward and hard to beat once he has some development and experience. Can also help out in the ruck so will add something to our list. Very mobile and has forward craft.

Really hope I’m wrong.. but something gives me Max King vibes

Tell me I’m wrong Bob

The thing with Lalor and Smillie is that they will both be super dangerous resting forward.

As much as I've always wanted FOS, and have been off Smillie given his "limp" arms, if we get those 2 we have two beastly midfielders that are huge forward threats too.

The hard part is, can you build a midfield with Ross, McAuliffe, Lalor, Smillie, as well as Hopper and Taranto? Where is the speed? Would really love to somehow get Jagga too...
