Smillie and Draper would be a very nice combo

 

[mighty_sainters]

I’ll be spewing if Smillie falls to us and we overlook him, we have no idea what our draft team are thinking at this moment.

The pure size of him is something we can’t look passed, especially if someone like a Reid can complement him with different attributes.

As BrutThough said, we really are in a great position no matter which way it falls.

 

[seesalswigs44]

Would love a smilie/tauru combo

 

[tristenlvm]

If Draper slid to us I'd be ecstatic. What a gun. Can't get my hopes up for that.

 

[stavro#4]

So the last 2 October form guide had an average movement of 1 either side of Twomeys final from guide to actual draft position + 1 player who launched 4 positions.

2022. Cadman 5 went at 1
2023. Windsor 11 went at 7.

So if you want a very rough pick span and allowing for Tauru to be the big riser - I’ll allow a 2 pick spot movement.

Form guide (Draft Range)

1. Ashcroft (1-3)
2. FOS (1-4)
3. Langford (1-5)
4. Lalor (2-6)
5. Jagga (3-7)
6. Reid (4-8)
7. Draper (5-9)
8. Smillie (6-10)
9. Tauru (5-13) expect to rise
10. Armstrong (8-12)

 

[Hayes4PM]

Makes me think the most divisive outcome for out picks may be whether we take both Langford and Smillie if they drop that far.

That’s not the most divisive outcome, you haven’t uneven begun to imagine the shit outcomes my friend. Watch us pick 2 half back flankers projected to go in the 2nd round.

 

[Significant]

That’s not the most divisive outcome, you haven’t uneven begun to imagine the shit outcomes my friend. Watch us pick 2 half back flankers projected to go in the 2nd round.

Nah, we are better than that now, although Dalrymple has form choosing some obscure picks.

 

[sufficientintent]

That’s not the most divisive outcome, you haven’t uneven begun to imagine the shit outcomes my friend. Watch us pick 2 half back flankers projected to go in the 2nd round.

Would be very on-brand for St Kilda in a stacked midfielders draft to pick two 5'10 half forwards that can't kick.

Can we stop talking about failed draft picks, it’s giving me ptsd

 

[Winmar2Lockett]

Its soooooooo flipping boring.

If two of Reid, Draper, Smillie and Tauru are available at our picks I don’t think we can go wrong. Any of them would be fine.

Cal Twomey's Phantom Form Guide: Top draft prospects' October ranking

AFL.com.au's draft guru Cal Twomey delivers his fourth Phantom Form Guide ahead of the 2024 Telstra AFL Draft

Always a brutally long last 4 weeks with only snippets of whispers and then Cal gives it all away with 24 hours to go

I don't know how people are seeing a world where Draper even has a chance of slipping past Adelaide's pick.

Everyone is bored. Trade period should be longer to avoid situations like this

 

[stavro#4]

I think my biggest takeaway was that …. IF what I’ve done is pretty close to spot on.

Langford won’t get past Melbourne.

But Jagga may.

 

[Remboy]

I don't know how people are seeing a world where Draper even has a chance of slipping past Adelaide's pick.

Stranger things have happened. According to the form guide Stav posted there are 8 players who could go top 5.

 

[Tommy Wigs]

Looking at this list, it's hard to believe Wilson fell to pick 18. An absolute steal for us.

5.52 for 2kms . If he gave me a 1.5km head start then I reckon I could probably push him.

 

[HeavenlySources]

If we get Jagga and Smillie at 7 & 8 I will never mention Billings/Bont & Mccartin/Petracca OR the Higgins goal again.

 

[akaifu]

Langford won’t get past Melbourne.

But Jagga may.

Jagga definitely isn’t as unlikely as many think…

Love it

but don't like the bid for Cole at #27!

Is it too early to do jumper swaps?

I thought trade period was so boring that this is relatively non-boring.

 

[Dr Spaceman]

Just our luck.

We have a big raw NGA kid who gets stuff all possessions and has a ball drop like an arthritic giraffe and clubs are bidding on him at 27

We can always let them have him. ( if it actually happens ).
I still think we'd have taken Biggy Nyuon if he'd made it as far as the Rookie draft.
