Wild fact - Jonathan Marsh has the 2nd fastest time ever at the Draft Combine for the 20m sprint (2.78s)

Trouble was he couldn’t get the pill..

 

[puppy_dog7]

The intercepting isn't getting enough attention. Travaglia was one of the best (if not the best) at the champs in that regard. Contested and uncontested.

I get that people want a clearance beast and Travaglia isn't that. If we do end up taking him, I think people will warm to him. More scores come from intercepts than from clearances. The best presents are the ones you didn't know you wanted.

I'm hoping if we end up with Travaglia and play him off HB it allows NWM to push up into the midfield.

 

[Sarcoidevo]

A couple of intercept marks .... a lot of link up handballs .... some turnovers (some bad) and quite a few long kicks down the line to no advantage

A few shorter link up kicks

Nothing x-factor or mid like

Pick 7 or 8

 

[saintvic]

Are we there yet?

 

[Sarcoidevo]

Are we there yet?

Just announced that the draft is being postponed to next month because North need more time to see if they can slide back a few places and not take Tauru

 

[Broski]

Just remember... the kids taken tonight are nowhere near the finished article.

The best player in this draft could be pick 57 after a couple of years in the gym.

We have a good draft hand. We will be okay.

 

[St Kilda Death]

If we traded 7&8 for pick 2 in 2017 we could have had LDU already so its not that black and white

For all the sooking this year about missing the top 6 picks,
That years top 6 was a level above this one and there is no way north would have dealt.
Also let’s say they did, every chance we use the pick on paddy Dow.

You spelled absolutely and unbearable wrong........

You're welcome......

Yeah. Got it rong sorry.

Big night ahead.

Big night ahead.

I would rather re-draft Daniel Archer or Jackson Ferguson over Harry Armstrong

tom ledger probably thinks he should go pick 1 in this draft

One of the biggest pea hearts to ever pull on the jumper.

Everyone here trying to convince themselves that Travalgia and Tauru are our saviours.

 

[Yawkey way]

If we traded 7&8 for pick 2 in 2017 we could have had LDU already so its not that black and white

How many wins has he played in ?. One player like LDU can’t do it on his own, we needed to hit with both picks, there’s a universe where that’s a fit injury free Clark and Naughton.

There’s not 1 mid in this draft I’d trade 7/8 for and I’m glad we haven’t panicked and thrown them at north. We need plenty and anyone who thinks otherwise is in for a nasty surprise imo.

The idea is to contend for and win flags. This is Jerry Jones crap, 29 years and counting and he’s justifying that buy saying we’ve been around the rim. No if fact they haven’t and sooner or latter they’ll need to invest in building a team just like we are.

If there’s a cap and a draft you need to do a lot right and hope for luck to fall your way.

 

[snails13]

Ok I am lost with first part of that article.
What are we planning

 

[bakes10]

Hope this happens. Spread our picks out in the top 20 gives us more a chance that 1 can hopefully become elite.

 

[Linton Street Saint]

Anyone explain how he are getting anyone to trade out of Top 10 ???

I feel like I am definitely missing something.

Trout "Kiss of Death" Elshaug agrees with this message

Good thing the recruiters watch more than 1 game before making an assessment of a kid.

 

[Pardon me]

The bitter part of me wants us to bid on every single one of those academy picks to make the other team pay a premium.

Won’t happen though - the fishpond is too small and memories too long.

 

[Hubnester]

If there's a player another club wants at one of our picks, they pay up and we'll consider it? There are a few with the capital to make a good enough offer if they choose to.

Good bonce

 

[saint66au]

My guess, we are resigned to not getting one of the 6 mids, so were gonna take Trav/Tauru, then bid on Lombard and Kako to get as many later picks taken off the board as possible to move ours up, then try the GWS deal
