There is no way Jagga slides.

It's certainly possible.

 

[akaifu]

There is no way Jagga slides.

Yes there is. Its been reported that clubs rate Reid very highly - him going before us could pave the way for Jagga to fall

Otherwise its Tauru who I'd be very happy to have too

 

[stavro#4]

Yes there is. Its been reported that clubs rate Reid very highly - him going before us could pave the way for Jagga to fall

For Jagga to slide we need A number of things to occur.

Richmond and North swapping 6 & 2

Carlton Adelaide Melbourne to rate Draper Langford AND Murphy Reid higher than Jagga (and Smillie)

Is it impossible? No

But it is asking a hell of a lot

Watching the highlights package I really noticed this.

Had a bit of a tendency to throw it on the boot quickly.

"While usually a polished and poised user, Smillie was tested at the National Championships. Other, smaller midfielders lifted with the pace of the game, and he was afforded less time to play to his own cruisy tempo. As a result, his kicking efficiency fell to 56 per cent and much of his impact centred around the stoppages. He struggled to get involved in his second position as a forward, too."

Kid does seem like a beast though and has a bit of Hunter Clark (with size) about him around stoppages.

I reckon this might be related to his illness throughout the champs. Said himself that he felt unwell so couldn't get going

As long as he can win clearance and contested ball at AFL level and run two ways in the Ross system, he has a future. Win the ball and feed it out to Phillipou/Henry/Windy/Wilson/etc. The outside game and kicking can be gradually developed as he gets more experienced and composed

Below are Patrick Cripps' stats from his first 5 years. Clear development of kick-to-handball ratio over this period

Yes I know. But people saying there's no chance are being silly - its a lot likelier than "no chance" given whats been reported with clubs interested in other players and Norf wanting to get Tauru

He is a certain top 5 pick IMO.

I seem to remember Cripps breakout game was vs us over in Wellington

Yeah…. I think it’s not even worth contemplating.

It’s that unlikely that he slips.

To each their own

 

[stavro#4]

To each their own

Mate you need a pick swap and then 6 Non Jagga picks.

I’m not saying it isn’t happening. But it’s unlikely and not very straightforward

 

[Saintscomemarchingin]

If we can do a deal with GWS for their picks 15, 16 & 21.
The Squad could look something like this?
Have also kept Hayes & O.Hotton on the list,
& Membrey & Paton off.
Crouch is contracted & no legit confirmation that this will change.
Couldn't find a Ruckman to fit in, keeping Hayes for that depth.
New players in Bold

B. Schoenmaker Howard Windhager

H.B. NWM Wilkie Sinclair

C. Hill Phillipou Wilson

H.F. Butler Caminiti Henry

F. Higgins King Sharman

Foll. Marshall Macrae Steele

I/C. Crouch, Jones, Owens, Wood, Byrnes-sub

Two's:

B. Hastie Cordy Webster

H.B. McLennan Barrat Stocker

C. Dow Clark O.Hotton

H.F. Hall Shanahan T.Hotton

F. Collard Hayes Keeler

Foll. Heath Langford or Smillie Garcia

I/C. Blamires, Cole, Hoffman, O'Connell

Yes, I know what's required for it to happen

I'm fully aware it is likely it doesn't happen

But I think the scenario is a higher likelihood than what you think. Nothing wrong with what either of us think, we just have different opinions on what clubs above us want to do

You realise list size constraints exist right?

What's the number now? This is based on 45 last season

Feeling the Tauru FOMO
Serious talent.
Geez I hope he gets to us but seems unlikely.

Geez I hope he gets to us but seems unlikely.

Whereas I'm okay with him being picked up beforehand as it allows a midfield option to drop through
