Fwiw I think Twomey's assessment of our midfield needs is spot on.
Whoever fits that bill out of our hopefuls is our man imo.
Their "game" needs to be able to withstand the rise to AFL level as well as fit in with our system, which does work when we have all the right cattle in their right places. Watch opening round if you've forgotten.
What I also believe is spot on, is our LM Team's focus on this draft. They've certainly caught my attention with what they've done to date so I am fairly sure they've got this. They know who they want and/or what they want.
As I stated elsewhere this is not SOS picking a mid (sorry Paddy & SOS)
We've done a lot right in the last few years with GW's appointment, new fitness guy etc etc so I'm pretty confident they'll get this one right
BTW I don't know who I'd take.
I like Jaggas movement. Quick. That's good. Don't want lumbering mids. Need to be able to get both back and forward quickly. Quick spread. You do also need the size and strength and he'll get that. Nothing wrong BTW with players who are good at avoiding contact but only if you are elite at it will you get away with it at AFL level. Ala Scott Pendlebury
. How do you think he's played for so long?
Draper is also very good and having played already against men (which is also very high on my list of prerequisites for puck 3)
