ESPN have him at pick 7 and Reid at 16 in their phantom draft.

Cal Twomey has Reid at 5 and Lindsay at 18.

I’m certain everything will tighten up in the week prior to the draft, but that’s a fair difference.

I'll take Twomey's opinion over an organisation that hired Knightmare as a 'draft expert', lol.

See I am leaning towards Langford. Thing is this draft has a lot of computations. So Smilie, Smith, Draper, FOS, Armstrong ,Langford, Lalor, Reid, could all go anywhere even No 1.

Smillie is the one I'm probably least enthusiastic about of that lot. What are his real strengths besides being tall?

Apparently recruiters are size queens themselves. They look at his size and they go "Next Bont or Crippa!"

Reminds me of the Nik Cox hype, despite the guy never really resembling an AFL footballer (Smillie will be better than that, but seems pretty vanilla outside of his height to me).

I'd wager that Nik Cox was 182 instead of 2+metres he would probably be a pick in the 60s,

I don't reckon he'd have been drafted. Cale Morton 2.0

I want us to draft for speed and run, linking up thru the middle and delivering into f50.

To me the player has to have the foot-speed and vision to see the opportunities before him, as well as ability to
step off-line, to break the lines in heavy traffic.

Has to be able to become an inside/outside mid.
This is 'the-now', appearing in-front of us in 2024.

Skip the size concept as they can't usually break-lines.
-----------------------

I also want us to trade up into the top 15, as a 2nd pick this year.

Lindsay or Reid for mine at P5

Joe Berry hopefully with another pick inside p15... maybe around p11.?

2 of these kids in our 1st Rnd would be great.
------------------------

2nd Rnd pickups - Maybe look here for tall marking options... a tall-follower type, or Power marking Key-forward.

-------------------

After 2nd Rnd. - lets go for a specialist small half-forward over head marking type... agility and evasiveness.

I like him too, but Brayshaw money? GTFOH. Brayshaw didnt deserve Brayshaw money, Peatling definitely doesnt.

Use 75% of it then. He killed us at the G -upside too. Gotta give to get

This will be McDonald's and potentially May's last year. Lever can't defend a man- Petty & Turner stuck up forward. No way we would be a chance to land SDK but we definitely need another quality key back.

Thank you

 

[poorboy32]

Thank you

Put up Oliver for him it would get done

Wouldn't come close imo. SDK as a promising KPP at 23 is worth a fair bit more than Oliver, who not only has off-field issues, but hasn't played anywhere near his best footy for two years now.

As much as I like Reid I'd be wrapped with Draper or Jagga also, I'd be happy if we took any of those 3. I wouldn't even be upset if we went with Langford either. So many great options. Now watch us pick Smillie.

I haven't watched any of these videos or read any of the reviews but in my expert opinion I'd like us to draft someone good if that's ok by everyone else.

Yeah, I've certainly come around to Jagga – when I read about him initially, I wasn't super keen, but reckon some of the write-ups undersold him and made him seem one-dimensional. Looks like a smooth mover and just a smart player all round – probably the safest bet in the draft with Ashcroft. Reckon he probably goes before our pick though.

Agree on the others.

Port Demons kick long to the same spot
