‘Coz I’m not pretty enough’. He’s a very good player, but not he’s not what armchair experts want. Like Smillie, he gets no love but will be very good IMO.
Agreed. A lot seem caught up in the Draper-mania as a supposed band-aid to our speed issues.
God forbid we look at any other attributes.
Two things. Better to have the ball than not, and, Cripps is 29, Hewett getting older, just lost Kennedy, you have to keep topping up the mid bucket with the best available options.
We also need to keep investing in KPD. The back 6 wins Premierships.
Hence my absolute willingness to trade back for Smillie and Trainor.

Update to this: involves Port, GWS and Richmond. Will result in Tigers getting 2 if it pans out.
Watched the gettable interview with Jagga seems like a good kid the only thing is IMO is that he’s lightly framed and can definitely accumulate possessions but can be damaging.

I think it’s because B Campo doesn’t bring speed and players like Kennedy and Hewett can be replaced easily and cheaply.
I would also trade back but I think it’s extremely unlikely you get picks to get Smillie and Trainor
So is Richmond getting pick 2 a good thing for us ?
Depends who we want but Id lean towards no given there was a chance North would reach for a KPP.

What does he bring that Kennedy didn't aside from improved kicking? A player we just pushed out the door due to his athletic profile...

I am having a lucky week… I live in Brisbane, went down to Melbourne for work, and just happened to bump into Ang Christou while I was walking around Princes Park!!!
So, I am prepared to put the following supreme guesswork out there and say that I reckon we are absolutely all in on getting FOS, and that if Richmond get pick 2 we will miss out. In other words, Richmond getting pick 2 is bad for us.
Ps don’t take any of the above as from Ang. I was so excited I could barely hold my phone to take a selfie with him, much less ask about the draft!

Not actually Brad Fisher
Yes - IMO they will take Lalor and FOS. Leaves us Smith or Draper who are my two preferences.
I was thinking about North’s situation, they stay at 2 and grab best available - that would absolutely stack there mids.
If they were “adventurous” they then trade out a mid for a 1st & 2nd & would make out like bandits.
They could then use the picks to buy in a ready made KPP & still have gun mids.
With North’s mid stocks, I don’t think it would be hard to get agreement for a trade out - the player would get a ripping contract and move to a decent club, you would think one of them would jump at it.
It would be a win/win all around - would take a ballsy list management play thou

Odds are Richmond will pick Lalor with one of the picks, and either Jagga or Finn with the other.
If we’re left with the choice of either Jagga or Finn I don’t think we should be bothered either way.
I’m picturing a midfield with Jagga/Finn, Ben Camporeale and Cody Walker in a couple of years time…with triple Brownlow medalist Cripps.
