Congrats to Tommy Wigs who is the only one to pass Sarcoidevo comprehension test, jfc

What if I'm a draft agnostic? I'll trust the process. I reckon it's so even you'd be crazy to write anyone off. Dalrymple will have to make a choice based on how he rates attitude and projection based on interviews, psychometrics and backgrounding.

I don't have a super strong preference far any of them and don't have a strong aversion to any either.

Herald Sun running with

• Crouch settlement still expected.
• won’t be trading pick 7
• Exploring trades of pick 8 for 2 teens picks as it will give us a better balance with selections
• Listed Murphy Reid as one of the star midfielders we want(with the other 6)

 

[L_W_P]

What's the "WTF Saints?" outcome?

Pick #7 - Armstrong
Trade pick 8 + F3rd to GWS for 15+16
Pick #15 - Hotton
Pick #16 - Dodson

 

[Hubnester]

At least this draft will be entertaining. I don't recall a draft with such a wide range of opinions and lack of consensus in terms of talent available. Now that they've split it over a few nights I might actually sit and watch all of day 1 this time!

It's a good one to have a strong draft hand in, unless we try really hard it's going to be difficult to stuff up too badly so I'm keen to just sit back and watch what we do on the night, whether it's the obvious best available left over or if we do some live trades.

All for that Stav, unless there are two of those top 7 that could land at 7 & 8, the more I think about it the best option is to trade 8 with GWS.

Which would say to me we aren’t into Armstrong.

My concern is the break down of pick 8.

The better balance means they want a tall.

So you can’t rule out Armstrong at 7 and hope like hell Lindsay/Reid/Allan/Travaglia/Hotton etc get through to 15 which based on Gettable yesterday Reid could get to 17!!!

we need mids,we need a ruck,we could do with a kpd and a small forward,last thing we need is a kpf,ming has 6 years or whatever on decent coin,if thats the right decision then we dont need to prioritise a kpf for 3-4 more years & certainly not this year=FOCUS

Carlton ITK saying it’s likely we won’t have pick 32 and that North knocked back p8+F1 previously as they didn’t want to slide down so far

If we trade with GWS 32 might be used to 'balance out' the trade? I still think using 7&8 is our best go, but like Cal said Reid could still be available at 15&16. So we still could get Reid plus Trainor/Lindsay/Hynes.

Interesting to see what we are cooking.

I think we are giving up too much if it’s 8+32 for 15+16.

Doesn’t give much weight to pick 8.

I’d need 21 involved from the Giants.

8 for 15+16

32+47 for 21+56.

32 might move 1-2 spots. But 47 comes in a fair bit on draft night.
21 pushes out to 25.
15+16 are likely 19+20

Am leaning towards adding Allan, mainly because Joffaboy seems insistent on calling him Allen for his whole career. It's already affecting my blood pressure readings.

There is a Beau Allen NFL player apparently. Nickname was the Butter King. Good on the spread I guess, knowing nothing about NFL.

Steady now… thems (apparently) fightin’ words…

Noooo don't use that old Carlton cooking terminology.... it will doom us to failure.

 

[falkstar]

How does Jagga compare to Tsatas in your view?

Not doubting that and these vids were a selected minuscule sample, but in isolation, Reid’s look way better in the champs highlights. Same size and nice steps. Reid hits scoreboard more as well. Anyway all will be revealed in a week

Think he was just a red neck that ate a stick of butter one time
