If Rawlings or SOS say anything to Twomey directly or otherwise, it will be an extension of their poker game.

SS: "We know you want Tauru and an extra pick, if you give us 2 we'll let you drop down to 8 and give give you 32 or our future first. Otherwise we'll just grab Tauru ourselves and grab a second tier mid at 8, we don't see the top tier being different enough."

BR: "We know you want one of the elite mids, we'll let you have 2 for picks 7 and 8, maybe we'll throw in a future second. Otherwise we'll just pick the best mid at 2, we don't care about getting another pick."

If I had to guess, I'd say we look to trade our 8 for a couple of teens and package one of them with 7 for 2 and F1 or F2. A compromise or we come to terms with picking Tauru and a second tier mid. I'm OK with either I suppose. I'm tempted to wait it out and see if Rawlings blinks and just takes Tauru at 2.

Travaglia's career hasn't even started and we are already putting the bloke down.

No one is putting either player down.We need mids which the are not

 

[L_W_P]

I’d be very happy if we picked Tauru and Travaglia, both look like absolute athletic guns. We can with some luck get back in and grab a mid who I’m sure would still be a very good player. When you deviate from best available with as many needs as we have overlooking future champs to reach for good honest players you’re in big trouble imo.

Anyway it most likely won’t happen so people need to chill and let the draft play out. I wasn’t a huge wrap for WM, he had fantastic disposal and could run but didn’t get a lot of it and now he’s looking like a superstar. Maybe just maybe the guys we pay to do this know a bit more than we do.

Mission said we were looking for players who would fit our game style, tell me those two kids don’t.

If we were legit players for Houston early then Travaglia makes sense.

And Tauru is an immediate Battle replacement.

Get back into the late 1st round via Richmond, Sydney or GWS to grab one of the sliding mids there and put the onus on Windy, Pou, Owens and Co to step the **** up on ball.

If Arie is legit then we might see more of Sinc & Nas up the group as well.

That's what Ross wants: A team full of hardworking runners that can play multiple roles.

you dont seriously believe that

 

[Goofy975]

Honestly if all of the main mids are off the the table, Id be open to split both picks, turn 7&8 into 4 first round picks.

Yeah if none of the main mids slide I wouldn't mind just trading both picks to grab 4 of Reid, Shanahan, Hynes,Trainor, Lindsey and Travaglia

I think 4 of those would be better than Taurus and Travaglia

 

[ESPN8 The Ocho]

So due to get one wrong

All we have heard for the last few months ad nauseam is how even the draft is good chance he gets 1 wrong

I'm more than happy with Reid/Lindsay 8 Tauru

We will know Wednesday

Why are you the only sensible one here?

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

It's almost guaranteed one of the 'top 6 mids' will not live up to their expectations. And it's almost guaranteed that one of the players picked just after them will have a much better career.

Take it as it comes.

Although I have to say I'm really beginning to dislike Wednesdays in November.

but would we have enough list spots to do that and take our NGAs?

 

[Smoocher]

Just got to hope North are playing games trying to get a better deal for 2 after totally undermining their draft strategy by letting everyone know they wanted Tarau in the first place on top of paying pick 25 for Caleb Daniel

. They have painted themselves into a corner reach for Tarau because that is what their list needs or pick a player they have no need for but is best available.

Very frustrating that their ineptitude is what is going to cost us

Either that or Adelaide go with Langford and Melbourne then take Tarau leaving Draper for us

Tarau and Travaglia both deserving of being 7 & 8 just ignores the gapping hole in our list

The ineptitude will be on the saints if they don't trade up.

North has said all along it would pick best available at 2. They can't control what the Click bait media and keyboard warriors say.

Yes Tauru would be a a good pick if a club was willing to help split our pick.

The Saints will be left with HBF types at 7. Wouldn't surprise me if saints do a deal on draft night with us to nab a LALOR /FOS/DRAPER/SMITH type.

Not sure why the melts . If all the top mids are gone , what are we supposed to do ? It’s clear that our picks fall right on the edge of that tier of elite mids , it’s unfortunate, we need mids.

But if we rate tobie than a mid , then it’s the right choice . To be honest the only other mid at that range that I think could match travaiglia is Reid. If they don’t like him then so be it .. taking Lindsey or Allan instead would be a reach

 

[Drop Kick]

I know they are the wrong picks as far as we are all concerned as we all want mids, but carrying on like Tauru and Travaglia are automatic busts is a bit much.

Still if we select these two it will be more disappointing than the ladt time we had 7 and 8.

I think it will be about par with last time, but, we won't know for a few years if it's a bust. That's if Cal is right.

We have enough currency to land a pick to get us a mid.

The honest answers if we don’t, is that it’s on the club.

 

[Yass03]

If whats left is what Cal's mocked, I'm taking Allan and Lindsay. OR I'm splitting for 4 picks in the teens. I would not be happy or excited with TRav and Tauru as our picks. IDC how much ppl rate tauru's potential and Trav's running game.

If we do it I want giants 15,16 and 21… 15 and 16 will become 18,19 and only really Hotton at that range ticks the mid box

 

[Yass03]

We better have a f*****g killer logo coming out tomorrow or next year's a shite write-off

 

[joydivision22]

Would much rather just Draper or O'Sullivan than Travaglia and Tauru

It appears We can only take 3 “live picks”.

Hofmann Cole Peckett Rookie

Sandy rookie/ruck?

 

[jh38]

I can understand the Tauru pick, he reads it well, but a lot of his highlights are of him zoning off and being the spare, I wonder how well he will hold up in 1v1 situations.

I would be much happier if we reached a bit for Lindsay than took Travaglia, just looks like a better player overall. Travaglia feels like a bust.

 

[maanco]

Would Melbourne trade 5&9 for 7&8?

If so who do they pick?

We could then spilt pick 9 and 32 for GWS picks.

I thought the sandy rookie was Cole or Hoffman? Isn't that confirmed?
