Analysis 2024 National Draft

[CrippaTheGoat9]

Picks 1 and 2 would put the Tiggs in a very strong position - gives them flexibilty to take their Dusty clone as well as FOS, like having a bob each way.

If they don't secure pick 2, I agree it puts them in a bit of an awkward position which one to take. As much as their supporters thinking their gonna get a bargain cos Norf only have 2 and junk picks, I reckon the ball is right back in their court to come up with a trade that Norf will agree to. Lalor or FOS?

And in the meantime, we're just sitting back waiting for all the pieces to be sorted, knowing we're gonna get one of Lalor, FOS or Jagga......

My hopes:
Pick 1 - FOS
Pick 2 - Tauru
Pick 3 - Lalor

What I think will happen:
Pick 1 - Lalor
Pick 2 - Tauru
Pick 3 - FOS

Neater disposal and more of an accumulator.

Of the four characteristics I think we're really looking for, i'd rate the two as follows (based on my limited viewing of Youtube highlights).

	Draper	Jagga
Disposal
Speed / Agility
Clearance
Accumulation

Here's my take (out of 5):

	Draper	Smith
Disposal under pressure	3	5
Kicking power	4	4
Top speed	3.5	4.5
Acceleration	5	4.5
Endurance	4	5
Agility	5	5
Clearance	5	5
Strength	3.5	2.5
Accumulation	4	5

Happily admit Draper's athletic ability does have a caveat: played through shin splints this year.

 

[Dramoth]

More than comfortable with Jagga at 3. Give him #7. Ben Campo #16. Lucas can have Bradley’s old number.

I can hit up short targets. Speaking of which - Where is Ferris anyways??

Check by your ankles. I think he might be standing on Milkcrate's shoulders waving at you.

Lalor gone and not knowing what North do....

Smith
Draper
Langford or FOS

What also comes into play is what might happen to our next pick

pick 2 will do decide our choice

 

[GT619]

My hopes:
Pick 1 - FOS
Pick 2 - Tauru
Pick 3 - Lalor

What I think will happen:
Pick 1 - Lalor
Pick 2 - Tauru
Pick 3 - FOS

about right

Hold on, Smith top speed is better than Draper? So, once in motion - Smith is quite fast?

Smith v Draper

Smith has better lateral movement, awareness in congestion

Either would be great additions, but Smith the better long term prospect, IMHO

Marc McGowan

He's factoring in Norf bidding on Ashcroft at 2, so making Norf's pick 3 on the night, and ours 4.
