Is that based on what you’ve heard?

No. Only thing I have heard is there has been a lot of back and forth over who but no definite names

 

[BlueNath]

Merry Draftmas. I hope you like your gift...

 

[Stickitupthem]

Whoever we pick at 3 I’ll support but I’m hoping it’s Draper his exactly what we have been crying out for for a long time anyway it’s exciting

 

[ferrisb]

Cal Twomey said it’s Jagga, The Age and Herald Sun say it’s Jagga, other draft experts have said Jagga, Forty3 posted last night it’s Jagga we want and for what it’s worth Andy Maher said on SEN earlier he was told it’s Jagga who we want.

So I believe it’s Jagga … 2 and half hours to go!!!

Draper fans be like:

 

[WalshYouLegend]

Plenty of footballers in Jagga's position have squandered the year off, it says a lot about his character that he went to those lengths. For instance, Cripps finished last in the 2km trial at the combine, after a year on the uni diet. Even though that worked out well for us, some clubs put a line through him after that, and there's others who have tumbled down the draft order after graduating early. It's highly probable that his training regime did give him an on-field advantage over his peers, however, I would contend that his high self-discipline is an advantage he will enjoy over most of his peers for the duration of his career. In some respects, you could make the claim that he was at a disadvantage by playing with a physically less developed body. I look forward to seeing what he can do when he adds a few more kg's of muscle to his frame, guys like FOS, Draper and Langford are more ready to go in that regard.

And let’s not forget about BargeArse. He also finished last in the 2km trial at the combine after a year on the pizza diet. And look where he is now!

80% it is talent. Plenty of players made it in our 2016-2022 culture. None of them have made it big at other clubs.

Think everyone has oodles of talent if they make it this far.

Difference is in the professionalism and the mechanisms in place at each club to extract that extra 10 to 20%

Clubs like Sydney and Geelong have transformed talent into production for years and shown you don't need the most talent if you work to become a cog in the machine

Plenty of ours have made it as you say but we have a higher rate of spectacular fails than the top clubs and that's for a reason.

Culture and professionalism is vital for continuous improvement..

Pizza wasn't the problem.

It was the sh!tload o' dim sims and bucket of soya sauce!!!

 

[Stickitupthem]

My theory is for Crows:
Trade up to 2 is Jagga
Stay at 4 is Langford
Trade down to 6 is Draper

No trades happen if Tigers go Lalor, North go FOS, so here's hoping North throw a spanner in the works and take Tauru

My preference is Langford but all 3 will be guns, both getting a quality player here!

Don’t lie your dying to pick the local pin up boy as I am

 

[skadoosh]

I finished school at 17. All I did the next year was flunk uni and stay up at night chatting on MIRC...

I mean, who could have guessed that an immature and precocious kid whose favourite film was/is Ferris Bueller's Day Off wouldn't make the leap to professionalism and dedication?!?!

ASL?

What if North bid for Ben Camporeale at 2?

 

[Bletch]

What if North bid for Ben Camporeale at 2?

They get to develop him for 3 years, and then he comes to us

 

[BigFrizz36]

What if North bid for Ben Camporeale at 2?

The AFL step in and wind them up effective immediately.

 

[ferrisb]

What if North bid for Ben Camporeale at 2?

Then we take Tauru at 3!

 

[AT97]

A bunch of guys linked to our 2nd pick by the HS. Lachie Jaques, Clancy Dennis, Harry Charleston, Charlie Orchard, Angus Clarke, Charlie West, Kade Herbert

Weren’t we interested in Back half KP players?…more hbf on that list if rookie me is right.

 

[AT97]

Pizza wasn't the problem.

Most of the time he was McChockers.

Of course Blue Balls…the old make them think we’re not picking the guy we don’t want who is actually the guy we do want in case they pick the player who isn’t the player they do want trick.

code of silence please….

 

[reubsblues]

If we do get Smith I honestly believe we are getting the best player in the draft based on performance this yr Lalor and Fos are only going earlier based on potential

 

[Schoonerman]

I have no doubt probably by year 3/4 we can lock it in Jagga will be a 25-30 possession player every week and does have nice clean hands in tight and will be a perennial top 5 best and fairest finisher throughout his career.

There are some massive concerns about his ball use though to my eye his kicking is a little overrated he struggles to kick further than 40 meters unless he has the breeze at his back, he looks a solid safe kick over 15-20 meters but there is a lot of sideways Matt Crouch crab like action in the way he plays and has no real penetration with his kicking. I’m probably nitpicking a bit but if you have a 50 possession game as a midfielder who has a clear fitness and work ethic advantage over the opposition but only 4 inside 50s there is an issue with your ball use.

Jagga’s work ethic is outstanding and I still would rate him top 10 however I wouldn’t be using a top 3 pick on him, with Lalor and O’Sullivan are probably gone at 1-2 personally I’d be favouring the point of difference that either Langford or Draper bring Langford with his contest and ability in the air and Draper with his speed and aggression.

Like Matt Crouch?
Surely you jest..
Crouch is a slow ,get it then give off as he gets tackled accumulator
Young Jagga is quick, evasive , get it , give off or hit someone then quickly become another option gun
Nothing alike..
We need speed in body and speed in delivery
Jagga has both in spades
