Absolute dream for us

Jagga would be unreal, would prefer Reid to Travaglia but Travaglia would probably be my 2nd preference out of the remaining players after Reid in that scenario.

We don't require a HBF'er, we require two pure mids.
If Jagga and Reid still.on the board and we still have 7 and 8 and don't take them, there will be much angst.

Absolute dream for us

Just gazed over this and jeez Richmond would be doing cartwheels if that is their draft haul - christ!

 

[SaintSteele9]

North taking Tauru is the key isn’t it. We should be doing cartwheels if they take him at 2, not that it’s a bad selection for them because I reckon he ends up a star, but Jagga and Reid (my only change to that ESPN order) would be an incredible combo at our picks!!

 

[sufficientintent]

Travaglia is a very promising looking player, but he’d be a bad selection at #8.

We do not need HBFs. Sincs and Nas will lead us in 2025 and beyond, so I don’t see how Travaglia is getting much game time (which would also be crucial if we want him to play midfield time at some point).

Recruiting TT in my view would basically be 1) injury cover at best / potentially adding an imbalance if we were to play TT Nas and Sincs and 2) also a pretty strong indication we’ve either given up on Hastie after only a year and/or that NWM is going to go back to SA after next year.

What is the obsession with picking someone like TT who could, maybe one day, hopefully, if we ask nicely, turn into a midfielder? Why not just pick a proven underage midfielder??

 

[_Maximus_12]

no point in trading up for pick 2 if we can force norths hand to take Tauru there.
Can foresee them drafting another mid with an early pick.

JAGGA IS ST KILDA BOUND

NEVER IN DOUBT

JAGGA IS ST KILDA BOUND

NEVER IN DOUBT

Cal Twomey in Gettable said it was highly unlikely that Jagga Smith and Finn O'Sullivan would slide to Stkilda

 

[stavro#4]

Cal Twomey in Gettable said it was highly unlikely that Jagga Smith and Finn O'Sullivan would slide to Stkilda

I believe what they said was:

There is a world Sid Draper gets there

There is a world Harvey Langford gets there.

There are worlds Smillie gets there (but likely Richmond at p6)

Murphy Reid is likely to be there

Travaglia in the mix. Harvey Armstrong Tauru also mentioned.

It was an answer to a question on Gettable

Towmey on our picks 7/8

• FOS / Smith “no I don’t think so, time to move on”
• Draper / Langford are a slight chance
• Smillie range starts at Richmond #6
• mentioned Reid/Travaglia/Armstrong in the mix

 

[dougiemac]

Its hilarious isn't it complain for years we haven't had good picks and now we want to trade out those picks

Yeah. I wonder if our recruiters drop in here occasionally for some comedy relief.

 

[stavro#4]

My apologies. Yes he canned those 2

[Banger9798]

I just know , in my heart, we won't get Smilie. Tigers will take him.

If Tauru goes early, maybe Melbourne get sufficiently spooked, and remember they have absolutely no-one to kick it to in their forward line, and take Armstrong .

We might get Langford and Reid


Then we live trade F1, to get back a late teen pick for a KP.

 

[stavro#4]

Twomey also canned Richmond to pick 2.

Weirdly linked the crows pick swapping.

Said the Roos had done a lot of work for people going in the teens.

 

[SteeleSaints]

Here is the article link - its not a bad phantom for the Saints!

[stavro#4]

I want to live in the world were Sid Draper lands at pick 7

 

[pebblesofsand]

I believe what they said was:

There is a world Sid Draper gets there

There is a world Harvey Langford gets there.

Murphy Reid is likely to be there

Travaglia in the mix. Harvey Armstrong Tauru also mentioned.

So aside from Pick 1 its "could go anywhere".

 

[Winmar2Lockett]

Yes, the players which we want and need are now sliding out to 7 & 8.

In the meantime the brains trust has swapped the picks for multiple selections lower down the draft... because its an even draft.

Who's swapped picks?

The discussion has clearly been about waiting until we see who is still available at pick 8 BEFORE trading down for multiple picks.

If say Smilie & Jagga are still available then I reckon it's safe to say we won't be trading down.

However in the unpalatable situation where all the main midfielders have filled the picks before us then trading down is very much an option.

Because it is an even draft.

 

[Diehard Saint]

Really hope they hold onto Pick 8 until we see who's left on the board.
I'm quite OK with a last minute decision and letting GWS sweat a little.
Do not see the benefit of a pick swap beforehand.

 

[Air King]

Will be interesting to see where Reid sits in Twomey’s final Phantom Form guide. He’s definitely conceding his projection ranking is higher than the start of his draft range. Does he stay firm on his projection of him being a top 6 player?

 

[Tommy Wigs]

Travaglia is a very promising looking player, but he’d be a bad selection at #8.

We do not need HBFs. Sincs and Nas will lead us in 2025 and beyond, so I don’t see how Travaglia is getting much game time (which would also be crucial if we want him to play midfield time at some point).

Recruiters will be aware of all of that.

Is that the same world where Jessica Alba comes to live with me?

Yes, its a big time discussion that we may be diluting our picks.

Phantom drafts are now showing Jagga Smith in line to us for pick 7

Pick 8 may still have a quality mid all over it, not two KPP players in the teens as some are sprouting

If we get two mids on 7-8, then we take it all the way to the bank.
