Reminds me to much of will setterfeild. Dominates junior footy because of his size but it might not translate to afl levelNo love for Smillie
Yes much prefer to use both 7 and 8 if we have them both rather than trade one out. You are much more likely to get at least one pretty good mid out of it.Who knows. I still don't think this draft has an absolutely incredible front end. Nearly every player apart from probably Ashcroft has a few question marks. There are ones that you'd prefer but I don't feel like any are absolute certain stars. I like the idea of having multiple picks because I think players right through this draft could end up stars but they are going to be a bit harder to find than most years because it's so even that you are distracted by the volume.
I'm calling it as a repeat of 2017 with a huge run of talent between about pick 15 and 30. A few bad misses will go before then IMO.
He's quick and more of a mover then Setterfield.Reminds me to much of will setterfeild. Dominates junior footy because of his size but it might not translate to afl level
Contested competitive beast. 194 cm he’s one I’m least worried about translating at afl level. At minimum he will be a gun clearance player. Has the craft and the athleticismReminds me to much of will setterfeild. Dominates junior footy because of his size but it might not translate to afl level

nowhere near as powerful as smillie is in his draft year. Just because he was 191cm and a midfielder doesn’t mean they are comparable. Two completely different stylesSo was setterfeild.

Swans picks would slide back 3 (Ashcroft, Kako, Lombard bids).With a few names now dropping as 'hopes' for our 2nd rounder, would anyone be open to trading our Battle Compo for the Swans top 2 picks?
Right now it'd be 8 for 18+19... maybe we ask for a F3rd or something?
If we are worried about the injuries/quality of two players at 7/8 could we grab a Faull + Mid at the end of the first round and still be happy?
That would be the dumbest deal and I hope North Melbourne are that dumbDepending on what we and NM suspect Gold Coast and Melbourne are going to do with their picks Don't be surprised if Saints get offered 2 + F1st from North Melbourne for 7 + 8. Then NM draft Armstrong and Trainor with 7 and 8.
Damien Barrett said that?Damien Barrett just said “It can’t be a top 10 pick for Josh Battle, I’m sorry”
These guys speak to player managers and have a good idea of what sort money was offered etc.
Prepare yourselves for the lube.
Saints are about to get f***ed
I imagine the conversations go like this.I hope you’re right, but he sounded pretty adamant.
Like I mentioned.. they speak to managers fairly regularly.
You "can" see it here.I'm not convinced. His size advantage over kids half his size evaporates at the next level. To me the lack of competitiveness during the champs has really put a smell over him. He looked disinterested at times. I love Langford because he looks like he wants to impress at every opportunity. Same with Reid. Jagga too.
I would probably do that deal, a tad reluctantly as I reckon we could get better offers. If the Pies end up with 12 in the Noble trade I'd be looking at that plus their future first, which they won't need with McGuane coming through. Gives us some extra ammo at the trade table next year. Need to hope they rate the guy at 8 a lot higher than we do.Swans picks would slide back 3 (Ashcroft, Kako, Lombard bids).
But yes, I think I'd still take it in live trading (if there wasn't 2 guns when it got to our first pick).
I'm huge on Ough and Hynes. And I'd ideally like a tall with our natural pick 24.
No Ough in the top 30?Certainly a bit of movement in the top 20 according to Twomey.

I get your thoughts re: never doing a pre-season, but on the flip side how's he going to cope with an AFL pre-eason?Listened to the Lalor interview again, I just like him more and more. Apart from the barracking for Collingwood bit.
The kid said he was playing elite cricket so never really did a preseason. So injury interrupted without much of a preseason and still impressed more than most.
If I could read between the lines, if Richmond have a second pick before ours then I reckon he'll be gone. Smiled and said he'd like a jumper presented by Dusty. Said he plays like De Goey or Dusty. Dusty will be a Suns player by then but I feel he is sensing some Tigers love.
Lalor I fear will be gone before us, but that explosiveness is what I desperately want for us. He's the game changer, we need a point of difference and to have a Dusty, De Goey, Reid, JHF type to carry us on their back is exactly him I feel.
I'd be OK with any of the other mids, or even Trainor if his concussions weren't a long term concern - but I'm back on the Lalor or bust train knowing FoS, Jagga and Draper will be gone.
Low upside I presumeNo Ough in the top 30?
100%Lindsay won the Morrish medal, I want him with our 1st pick.
But he can do this WITHOUT one, imagine with one. Sure, might struggle with the first one and he'd have to condition his body - especially after the hammy - but I'm excited about the scope for improvement rather than concerned over never had one.I get your thoughts re: never doing a pre-season, but on the flip side how's he going to cope with an AFL pre-eason?
