At least LDU is a lock.

 

[Dard Ball Get]

You’d have to be a special type of mouth breather to blame Higgo lmao fmd

 

[Patty_vanda]

He isn’t half the kick Nas is. I see him as a poorer kicking Jimmy Webster to be honest and about as likely as Billings and coffield at becoming a mid.

Surely there is better ways to use a top 10 pick even if the Top 7 mids are gone.

Tell that to Dalrymple. Cos Twomey gets his phantoms right 95% of the time.

IF it does pan out that way, taking Travaglia at 7 means we get our man and someone might then overpay us for Tauru

 

[Joffaboy]

Is what it is. We knew we didn’t have control on the order and we seemingly didn’t want to pay to move up.

But, I simultaneously hope they don’t turn around and try sell us that Travaglia will be the mid we needed.

People are trying to do that with Bo Allan.

Honestly Travalgia over Reid would be abysmal in my view.

It was Kemps fault. Missed from 30 out in front. No wonder we tried to recruit him.

I'm very surprised he doesn't have us taking Reid 7 or 8. Just seems like a no-brainer to me but what do I know.

 

[Mangus]

Just got to hope North are playing games trying to get a better deal for 2 after totally undermining their draft strategy by letting everyone know they wanted Tarau in the first place on top of paying pick 25 for Caleb Daniel

. They have painted themselves into a corner reach for Tarau because that is what their list needs or pick a player they have no need for but is best available.

Very frustrating that their ineptitude is what is going to cost us

Either that or Adelaide go with Langford and Melbourne then take Tarau leaving Draper for us

Tarau and Travaglia both deserving of being 7 & 8 just ignores the gapping hole in our list

 

[saintmike65]

You said he was replacing Nas.

Rewatch our games and see how important his kicking is and how high degree of difficulty a lot of those kicks are.

You don’t have to be a bad kick to accept he would turn the ball over trying to replicate Nas.

Can’t believe the hysteria…anyone would think the draft is over!
Personally, I think both Tauru and Travaglia will be top players…Eventually Travaglia will go into the midfield, he’s had a small sample & was terrific, and as a bonus kicked 8 goals!

 

[snails13]

No way those 2 players will both be on our list

 

[BrutThough]

After months of being told Dalrymple is the greatest acquisition ever, maybe we should just trust that he knows more than us and will take the best player for our list.

 

[Holy Hunter Clark]

Both Travaglia and Tauru are great players I would be happy with them. Maybe there is midfielder later in the draft we can turn into a star

we ask them to repeat themselves then catch them in a double negative

So if old mate Cal is out with just 1 pick a mid could slide to us LOL

The hysteria is and was completely believable

Tauru fits a need.

Travaglia not so much. Supporters aren’t all blind to that.

Would mean the only mid we draft would be Elwood Peckett

 

[MOLTEN GANGLANDS]

"If not him? The Tigers have travelled to see West Australian Bo Allan in recent days and they could look to grab him here in case they don't see him getting through to their picks at 10 and 11. That is seen as a real option, as is Tobie Travaglia at this pick, which hasn't been mentioned much but is one to watch. If Alix Tauru comes into the top group then one of the midfield talents – such as Sid Draper, Jagga Smith or Harvey Langford – could also squeeze out to here and give Richmond a tough decision to make."

this is cal talking about the tiger's pick 7, but it's pretty much the same for every pick. Seems to cover all bases.. Does he do the same every year?

 

[jumperfan]

That's Elwood "Gary Ablett the Third" Peckett to you.

 

[True Blue Saint]

Haven't had a son in all my years playing CM/FM then managed to get one in my first intake at Fulham on this edition!

 

[botts]

Obviously our recruitment team gave nothing away

If you listened to misson today he basically said no comment to everything. Must be a lot of games going on behind closed doors by every club

 

[SaintWWodonga]

Honestly if all of the main mids are off the the table, Id be open to split both picks, turn 7&8 into 4 first round picks.

 

[XhazzafootyX]

people trying to convince themselves cal is wrong

 

[stavro#4]

2023 - nailed the top 7 until the giants traded down - and still took the correct player.

2022 - nailed the top 14 picks

It was that dodgey free kick against max Andrew to king that did it
