If we don’t get FOS I’m of the belief Jagga is the better option than Draper now given Sid’s chronic back injury coupled with his shins this year. We actuallly don’t have a Jagga in our midfield. He is Daicos lite. Incredibly quick hand to foot, evasive and clean.
FOS
Jagga
Draper
Fish and Chips for Sunday night dinner!!The decision has been made.
I'm saying when he played against the best players in his age bracket (under 18s championship), he was not a high possession player.Are you saying the tougher opposition was in 2024?
That doesn’t make sense, the tougher opposition would have been in 2023 when he was playing against players one year older than him.
Injury interrupted, playing different position might be reasons for lower output in 2024. Also worth noting he was playing with some pretty good players in 2023 like Harley Reid and Zane Duursma which may have helped.
One thing we're kind of forgetting is North's #2 pick. Even if they end up keeping it, it's not a fait accompli that they'll definitely select Tauru. FOS would complement their young midfield nicely - and if pick 2 end up at the Tiggs, he'll likely end up there.
I'd be rapt if he ended up in the navy blue, but would be equally happy if it was Jagga. Or even Langford, who I also think will probably end up being the best out of the 2024 crop. Just not sure if he compliments our current midfield as much as FOS or Jagga. Still have these nagging doubts about Draper - no idea why, his highlights reels are as good as any - but just not convinced.
Cal Twomey's Phantom draft leading up to the ND will give us a good indicator. He's pretty much on the ball with his early selections after speaking with player agents, list managers etc.
I think I see what you did thereFish and Chips for Sunday night dinner!!
Disposal, vision, ability to create.
Three things we sorely lack.
His side step ability is also excellent.
Bottom age player.
I’m certainly fine if it’s him.
In fact any of the top 5 prospects if taken at 3 are all looking like quality prospects
Lalor!!It will be crazy if Smith goes at 1, and FOS at 2. Where would that leave us?
Absolutes take Lalor - we don’t have a guy like thatIt will be crazy if Smith goes at 1, and FOS at 2. Where would that leave us?
Same as last timeIt will be crazy if Smith goes at 1, and FOS at 2. Where would that leave us?
My Preferences for Pick 3 - pleased we traded up to 3 - we need an elite player to add to our list:
Lalor - 9/10 - impact player we don’t have - rare
Issue - consistency?
Elite - marking forward, goals and contested mid
Smith - 9/10 - speed & football IQ and rotating forward would be impactful
Issue - size, perhaps meters gained
Elite - ball gathering
Langford - 8.5/10 - elite kicking, football IQ, evasive, moves the ball on quickly and 191cm he can go forward and take a mark - issue is he deemed slower and too like Cripps/Hewitt
Issue - acceleration/pace
Elite - disposal to advantage
FOS - 8.5/10 - speed, disposal I50, seems to have space for disposal and
Issue - consistency, low possessions, what is he elite at?
Draper - 8.5/10 - quality player, speed, injury concerns, disposal minor issues
Issue - back?, disposal at pace
Elite - ball gathering
Going to pick 3 and having our Recruiters have access to 1 of these 5 is worth the shot. Now they earn their stripes - the player must help our midfield compete in finals now and for the next ten years - No Pressure!
Perfectly saidIt's amazing how the 12 and 14 blokes were impeccable but the top 5 rated guys have lots of flaws lol
Moir has played what 2 quarters??I’m unsure about FOS
We already have a low possession highly skilled fwd in Moir, we don’t really need another one…
So Smith for me, then Draper (if his injury is ticked off)
It's amazing how the 12 and 14 blokes were impeccable but the top 5 rated guys have lots of flaws lol
CARLTON
Finn O’Sullivan (MID; Oakleigh Chargers)
As has been constantly mentioned, prolific ball-getter O’Sullivan just happens to be the second-cousin of Carlton star Sam Walsh. Partnering the pair is a tantalising prospect for the Blues’ recruiting unit and fanbase, particularly considering what the youngster offers. Pacy and powerful in possession, O’Sullivan brings an element of electricity not felt in the Princes Park midfield in recent years. This is not to call the Blues’ engine room a weakness, but rather to say that a genuine difference-maker might be incoming. O’Sullivan was affected by injury this year — managing just four Coates Talent League games — but he was influential when healthy, posting 17.2 disposals, 3.0 clearances and 1.2 goals per game. However, as much as the navy blue might be infatuated with the youngster that has drawn Marcus BontempelliPLAYERCARDSTART18Sam Walsh

PLAYERCARDENDcomparisons, there is a possibility the Oakleigh Chargers product won’t be on the board by the time Carlton is up at No. 3. In that case that he isn’t available, Jagga Smith, Harvey Langford and Sid Draper could be among the alternative considerations for Mick Agresta and Co. on November 20. The Blues will also officially welcome the Camporeale boys later in proceedings.PLAYERCARDSTART4Marcus Bontempelli

We are talking about potential aren’t we?Moir has played what 2 quarters??
I think two different players and Moir has played 2 impressive quarters but still don’t know what his going to be, and respectfully I personally feel people have a personal bias against FOS so they are nitpicking reasons not to select him.We are talking about potential aren’t we?
FOS has had an ok 2024, but based on 2023 form he’s high calibre
Moir was also highly rated until injured pre his draft into AFL
Has to be one of the poorest articles on FOS going around:The AFL Draft star every club should take with its first pick to fix list void
AFL Draft star EVERY club should take with its first pick... and how it fixes list flawwww.foxsports.com.au
Or maybe the bullshit thats spilled on here about FOS is inaccurateHas to be one of the poorest articles on FOS going around:
- FOS is a prolific ball getter, wtf?
- backs it up with 17.2 disposals/ game
- draws comparisons with Bontempelli??
