Bid on Logan Smith, then draft a Whitlock if one's available or Jack Ough

Or Boxshall

Wait for the collaboration when Smiley gets it from Jack Ough

Man other club supporters are just so ****ing weird.

Looks at Richmond and North fans.

Richmond fans arrogantly believe it’s pick 2 in an even draft and they shouldn’t trade p6 for it. Should be p10 and 18 because 6 is too valuable.

North fans in an even draft think pick 2 and even their future first are each worth p10+11 and that this years p2 should get them 6+10.

I seriously hope a deal goes down for 6+18

I say old bean, come down to Lord Smyth's Yacht Club and repeat such vulgarities!!!





But yes, it's actually ridiculous lol.

I actually just left a meeting in Adelaide where one of the dozen or so in the room was a high-ranking Brit who is "Sir Stephen" (who actually requests that people please don't use "Sir")....

 

[Saintscomemarchingin]

who is he?

Top 20 key forward, can swing back, booming kick. Kicked bags of in a few Vfl games with Essendon.

It will be out of Smillie & Langford for Melb's first pick, you would think.
Don't think they take Armstrong coz they already have Van Rooyen & Jefferson. Trainor makes more sense for them.

This feels right.

Possibly. However Smillie said three coaches interviewed him at the combine - Goodwin, Yze and Lyon. Goodwin would have to know Smillie won’t make it to pick 9 so I’d say he’s well in the frame at pick 5.

Langford & Reid then, two slowish mids? Both classy though.
Take one of them with a quicker mid. like Lindsay.
This is why I'm open to give up pick 8 & then get two of Dettoli, Hotton or Lindsay.

 

[Sol Goodman]

After watching clips of Tauru. I can see why folks are throwing his name up. Why North will reach for him.
I've been very adamant about drafting mids but he's got something.
There will be some very good options at our picks. We're very lucky. I can't wait for the draft.

 

[stavro#4]

If Richmond retain 6. Murphy Reid is a big chance there.

 

[triggering bro]

I reckon they’ll take whoever is left out of Smillie and Langford.

 

[Saintscomemarchingin]

If they take Smith earlier, don't think they take Reid too?

Yeah l can't see 2 slow mids being on our menu. Trade down for sure.

Seems to be a hard on for big bodied mids ala Cripps and Bont. We have Pou who will fill that role, but there are plenty of gun mids who are 180-185cm.

, Daicos, Neale, Rowell, Butters, JHF, Warner, Sheezel & Merrett are all absolute jets who we’d love to have but don’t measure up to be the big bodied beasts.
Smith/Reid would be an amazing get but no need to discount a player in todays due to size.

[Hayes4PM]

Alright, dream scenario. Norf trade pick 2 and a F2 to Tiges for 6 and 11. Tiges get the first 2 picks of the bunch and 2nd rounder for next years draft. Sets them up very nicely. We trade our F1 and F2 to GWS for pick 16 and their F2. They get a (most likely) favourable 2nd round swap and a late first rounder this year out for likely a middle of the pack 1st rounder next year. Still have 15 and 21 in this draft as well.

1. Richmond: Lalor
2. Brisbane: Ashcroft (bid)
3. Richmond: FOS
4. Carlton: Smith
5. Adelaide: Draper
6. Gold Coast: Lombard (bid)
7. Melbourne: Langford
8. North: Tauru
9. St Kilda: Smillie
10. Essendon: Kako (bid)
11. St Kilda: Reid
12. Melbourne: Armstrong
13: Richmond: Hotton
14: North: Travaglia
15: West Coast: Allan
16: Port Adelaide: Lindsay
17: Fremantle: Trainor
18: GWS: Shanahan
19: St Kilda: (Cooper) Hynes

We'd make out of the draft first round with Smillie, Reid and Hynes. Smillie a huge upside player already a dominant stoppage player and with great kicking for a bigger contested body, Reid one of the more clean and classy players on ball despite being one of the more undersized U18 players and Cooper Hynes who adds to our stock of "Cooper"s while also being a handy mid/fwd type, which is also important I guess. Now we just need every single domino in this scenario to fall into place and I'm happy. Doubt Trainor or Hotton would be around for that later 1st round pick but if they were, would also be stoked with either of them.

Gee, if you have Hotton at 13, might as well take him at 11. Classy goalkicker like Reid & much quicker. And if Shanahan got to 19, would take him.
Langford or Smillie, Hotton or Lindsay & Shanahan would be a nice haul. And just don't play Shanahan on a kid called Jarman, if he should appear?
