No, it’s clearly been pointed out that he gets things wrong.

However in the last 3 years the earlier he has been wrong was last year at pick 8.

Well that's good for us then

 

[maanco]

Why would they do that?

I don't think they would unless we sweetened the deal.

 

[stavro#4]

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

Hence why I also said ruck against it.

 

[stavro#4]

Well that's good for us then

Well it doesn’t matter if he is wrong , if the first pick that he gets wrong is one of our two

 

[ThomasR]

Really rate both of them, but I somehow doubt we'd take both Travaglia and Tauru.

I still think there is a very strong chance that pick 8 will be traded - but where to is anyone's guess. GWS, Tigers, Eagles, Bombers all have the capital to get something done, and to a lesser extent Freo, North, Sydney, Dogs.

For phantom purposes it's easier to exclude trades, but in reality we will receive some phenomenal offers if we leave Tauru on the board at 8.

Reading way too much into Cal's phantom... perhaps the bid on Lombard at 8 (instead of 7 as you'd expect) is signalling that we will buy time to field offers for 8, and Travaglia ahead of Tauru is to signal the latter's availability at pick 8.

 

[St Kilda Death]

I bet one of the “big 6 mids” gets thru to us.
And the sooking over a phantom will be for nothing

Also bet at least 2 of these big 6 ends up a bust and a couple of Travaglia, Tauru, Allan and Lindsay that we miss out on become absolute guns.

 

[Joffaboy]

Now hoping we land Trainor and Armstrong for the melts.

well if it pans out this way its one way of saying jones clark byrnes dow hall carroll dont say we arent giving you a chance,big years from all or byebye to any that dont step up

lot to play out,freo wanting to trade up,giants possibly moving 16 and 21 & ldu and/or callaghan could be in our thinking,if ldu take best available,bonus if non mids,huge help on the way,if callaghan=travaglia is a nice little piece for that possible future negotiation

 

[Tommy Wigs]

Wow. At least I have beer and PJ. May as well trade both picks into the 30s?

 

[St Kilda Death]

I wouldn’t be unhappy with trav/tauru
I’d rather Allan/Lindsay personally but gotta back there people paid to do their job.

 

[heynow85]

Wonder how many people here have actually seen Tauru and Trav play in person and can compare to others they are suggesting we select?

Bit weird to get angry if you haven’t got the intel.

Also the draft hasn’t happened…..it’s just someone’s opinion who has historically done well, but he hasn’t always got it right, and he has admitted it’s a tough year with many variables.

 

[TheJackal]

Anyone else feeling completely burnt out? Like, so exhausted from all of this draft stuff that you are too over it to even give the slightest melt?

history shows on here if this many people are going WTF then there tends to be an issue

Like Naz right.

Honestly it’s embarrassing. Some would rather take a mid then a half back even if the half back ends up better.

Also law of big numbers works if people have a clue.

the same people would say that Warner and Ed Richards were flankers.

I actually love TT comp to Ed Richards in terms of traits and top age year arc

 

[heynow85]

Like how we were all happy with Billings, Acres and Dunstan?

How we cracked it when Omeara and Shiel didn’t come to Saints?

How we wanted Rhys Mathieson?

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

For the love of God, let’s hope it is a logo that is larger than a bloody sponsors logo.FMD

I’m personally fuming. But maybe that’s just cause I’m 21 and might have 40+ more years of dealing with sadness and no good years of happiness .

 

[snails13]

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.

Melbourne could be in the same boat as what Cal has us in

when did anyone melt over Naz... i remember he was the pick of the draft for many on here

where did this bullshit narrative that Naz was a contentious call start from?

 

[L_W_P]

"And Tauru is an immediate Battle replacement."

you dont seriously believe that

As far as list composition is he not?

Undersized CHB type that can swing up to a wing or forward in a pinch.

Put him in as the third tall next to Wilkie & Howard and I think he could be playing round 1.

Unless Hammer is 100% playing back next year, it's not like we have a plethora of defenders to choose from.

Don't feel to bad I reaching 50 years of football depression next year

thats a very different point.

you said an immediate replacement. that means top 5 B&F.
