[SteeleSaints]

Yeah it's media driven. 1 good game doesn't impress recruiters.

Lets hope he is not bid on too early, but he is a much better prospect than he has been previously rated. I watched a lot of his footy this year and believe he will become an exceptional player. He has a bit of mongrel too him awsell.

 

[Darkhour]

So it now seems Draper/Smillie or Langford with our first pick, or if all the best mids are gone, then Tauru and the next best mid.

 

[beside the seaside]

The fact Richmond are considering Allan at 6 also suggests he's a potential top liner. So we'd have to be happy if we get him.

 

[Barrels]

7. Draper/Langford
8. Travaglia/Allan/Smillie

And then I stop caring.

Honestly, the “worst” case scenario there is probably:

7. Langford?
8. Travaglia

And that’s still fantastic for us.

*I’d pair Langford with Steele or Macrae all preseason, and Travaglia with (initially) Mason Wood.

But now there is a home run grand slam scenario and I can’t get it out of my head.

Being a Saints supporter I am anticipating disappointment from somewhere, whether that’s doing a bad deal with 8, or picking players that aren’t up to it in years to come, I am conditioned to know it’s going to happen.

 

[Dalsantowhatastar]

Sounds like the Dees might like Langford over Tauru but not Draper?

So if the Crows Take Langford at #4, the Dees go Tauru, leaving us with Draper (assuming Tigers go Smillie).

But if Adelaide go with Draper, Dees get Langford and we get Tauru.

All this assuming North go FOS at #2

 

[Dr Spaceman]

I don’t want to create mass boner alerts for this board.

But Twomey just said there is a chance - albeit unlikely that Bo Allan goes at 6 and we get 2 of Langford Draper or Smillie at 7 & 8.

 

[L_W_P]

So it’s starting to shape up.

1. Lalor
2. Fos
3. Jagga
4. Draper/Langford
5. Tauru (this is the big one, could be mid but sounds like Tauru)
6. Smillie/Allan
7. Draper/Langford
8. Travaglia/Allan/Smillie

And then I stop caring.

Faaaar out if we land Draper somehow...

Draper at 7 then drop 8 back for a couple of picks to grab Berry, Shanahan, Trainor, Hannaford...

Shaping up to be an awesome draft for us.

Wise words by Kildonian there.

 

[Tommy Wigs]

Am I missing something? ill wait for Twoney's mock draft but seems to be all but confirmed that Nth are taking FOS at 2 and not trading down. Looks like a real risk the top mids are gone again. Can;t see Melbourne taking Tauru.

The North fans might have been right all along. They will be celebrating.

Until they realise they have Logue and Corr as the defenders for 17 years.

 

[Tommy Wigs]

Oh FFS!

I've been thinking the draft was tomorrow this whole time.

Thanks for ruining my day ya jerk

Unforgivable

 

[Tommy Wigs]

Nah

I’ll get banned. Already have 3-4 gunning for me.

But it is funny.

If you leave us with 24 hours to go again then you may as well pack your bags, MF.

Unless you don’t have any intel, then do whatever floats your boat.

Someone should sacrifice themselves and go tell the Richmond board that we’d do F1 for pick 10.

North fans thought they were going to get an absolute haul for pick 2 or their future first.

They are getting **** all

MF.

My intel from the other weekend looks pretty ****ing good right now.

All this talk of Hope for the Saints...

Do we smash out a new theme song with the new crest next year?

If Twombstone has fin going to north you’d think our 7 will be reid/allan? Then take highest offers for tauru you’d think and try slide back? Sorta how I took missionary’s comments on how we’d like midfielders if they are best available.

Tauru is a high chance at 4-5
