Even though there is no Harley Reid , it is full of elite mids. It is a super draft

They have to tell themselves that because they’ve traded away their senior core for these picks.
Fantastic. Now go away.
That's from nearly 3 weeks ago though.....I think things have changed.
It’s more the timeline of shit he posts than one instance. He certainly gets the Tiger faithful frothing.

Nah its not really. I asked a couple of the "draft experts" if Colby Mckercher was in this draft, their thoughts would be he is a clear number 1. Mentioned Dursma and Watson from last year would contend for number 1.
If that's is the case its a weak draft at the top end. We arent even talking JHF/JUH/NDaicos/H Reid level talent would be at the top. Colby is a good talent but not a generational number 1 lol.
You're getting swept away in the hype, lad.
It isn't. It's full of very good B+ midfielders.
You stated earlier that the top 25 would be in the top 8 next year.
So that's Jesse Dattoli, Cooper Hynes and Harry Oliver as top 8 picks next year.... rofl.
I would not take a single one of Lalor, FOS, Smith, Langford, Draper or Smillie ahead of Reid, McKercher. Sanders is easily in the Lalor/Smith/FOS conversation and he went at Pick 6.
Sheezel and Wardlaw are better than all of these midfielders in just about every single department. It's not even worth discussing it.
JHF, Daicos, Callaghan? Forget it.
Watch what the Allies midfield (McKercher, Sanders, Rogers) did last year to the VIC Metro midfield (which is a batch of this years top mids) + Windsor
The one player who rose to the better standard through the midfield last year? FOS.
You are posting sh!t from 3 weeks ago mate.....go away. Get real.

our recruiters should walk in with that written on a poster along with don't call us unless it is the above equivalent offered
Every draft in history has elite mids at the top end. The outlier at the moment is 2020 but the players development in that year was impacted by covid shutdowns and all that shit.
I know for a fact that many clubs (including yours) do not consider this draft a 'super draft'. The big thing going in it's favour is the fact that there are plenty of genuine talls in the open draft pool.
Clubs are happy with the depth, and believe there will be plenty of role players available beyond pick 25, but the vast majority believe it's lacking that absolute top tier of talent that have been available in previous years.
Put it this way. I was told directly from a club scout (and many others share the same opinion) that if Ryley Sanders (Pick 6 2023) was in this draft class he'd go number 1. Shows you that last years top tier was believed to have a higher ceiling when compared to this years.

This can't be stated often or loudly enough.
Joliet Jake
Debutant
Aristotle Pickett. Not enough Aristotle, way too much Pickett
every top mid has significant deficiencies. FFS, FOS is considered a top 2/3 pick and he barely played all year. Ya kidding yaself.All draft experts are holding their picks because having 5 or 4 darts at this board might nab you 1 maybe 2 players.
Its ordinary. Very ordinary draft.
The best talent is Jagga and you campaigners are inlove with Lalor because you think he’ll be Dusty. That campaigner wont come close to Dustin.

Feel great - you take the wins when you get them.
But this draft looks like most without a standout number pick - which bad luck for the Tigers.
There are 4 really good options available - Lalor, FOS, Draper and Smith - then a bunch of good talent with bigger questions marks they the Tier 1 players. The further you drop from the big 4 the greater the chance of a bust.

Good point.
Incidentally, maybe we trade our F2 + F3 to Essendon with the purpose of landing Trainor and Sims?
FOS, Trainor, Sims and Stevens would be well-rounded draft from a list needs perspective.

Eddie Ford type of areas that, never discount the value of a late pick. I think he was 54 though.
The saints are a strange unit in general, they weren’t expecting the Battle compo, so it should almost be seen or used as a free hit in my opinion. What I mean by that, is packing 7 + 8 up to a club like us, so they can get the blue chip midfielder they are desperately crying out for.
I just really, really hope we keep pick 2.
They are media, they’ll talk it up. Its mediocre. Take this from someone who has been at the bottom of the ladder for almost a decade and taken a keen interest in every draft. This is arguably the most underwhelming draft ive seen. We wont know until 2029 but absolute garbage.
SEN cant come out and shit on it?
Wrong year to have 25% of the top 25 picks. Pick every kid and I can almost guarantee 2 will be there for your next tilt
In dating parlance.....
You've had your chance & rejected us. Laughed in our faces went back & told the other group of girls you are with about our advances to have a group giggle.
We have moved on. We have other's in sight & are prepared to go home single than accept your shite advances now.

Aristotle keeps posting obviously stupid shit just to get a reaction and really good, smart posters keep replying to him as though he's serious.
It's a dark day on here I tell you.

In fairness to Big Cam , we are still in talks with Crows to slide back, apparently......lots would still be being discussed.
Tigers have always thought they've held all the sway in North moving....cant blame them with the circle suck from the media(Richmond Numpties) talking the up the whole time and doing their bidding for them.
I prefer our way.....say not much and see what happens

Then he’ll be a North player, a 200+ gamer Cameron.
