Analysis 2024 National Draft

Go watch the highlights of him taking huge overhead marks & slotting every type of goal u would like to see.
FOS is likely to make any debate about what pick to take him seem silly in a few years.

FOS looks great when you put all his highlights together but when you actually watch his games, he has as many head scratching moment as great ones. Might be the injuries. Might not.

A player like him will always have a better highlights real then Smith. Doesn't mean hes better.

While FOS and Lalor have higher upside, more often the not the Smith type ends up the better player.

Ok, is Harley Reid mates with any of these boys where looking at taking in a couple of nights time??
We take the one that is and then wait until Reid finishes his p-plate 3 year contract.
Then we get his mate to help convince to come home to blues.
Perfect! Midfield of Reid, who ever we take in two days time, Walsh, cez ect

 

[GT619]

Just letting everyone know ahead of time, as a coping mechanism I will be changing my pick to whoever Twomey has us taking in his phantom.

I'm still on fos train

usually the top 5 predictions are correct but who knows

[JustOneTime]

Is anyone concerned with the size of Jagga Smith and stepping up 2-3 weight divisions? It's the only thing I'm scared of.

If his body doesn't develop in line with age where does that leave him? I'm less scared with the others in this category as their bodies have a wider frame.

Some people mentioned a match to Neale due to height but Neale is an absolute tank in the body/legs. Did Neale have the same slim legs at the same age?

 

[Lukeblueboy]

We have his girlfriend

Even better lol
Need to keep them together then

 

[Blue__Balls]

I just hope the player we didn't move up the draft order for was FOS then we don't get him

Who gives a shit, as long as we get a gun.

 

[The Return of the Paf]

I just hope the player we didn't move up the draft order for was FOS then we don't get him

Is it more important to get the player you want or a good player? I thought most on here thought Carlton had it all planned out.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Imagine FOS - you have big clubs in Richmond and Carlton on board......and get taken by North !!

The fact is that only one of those topliners is going to a current contender. Carlton are the bonus club in this draft. Usually they have to graft away for several years until finals.

I'd say North are set to rise though, so probably better them than Richmond at the moment.

 

[BlueNath]

Pretty confident its Smith now. Cal, several ITKs , Fox, heraldsun, the age. Everyone has us taking Smith.

But Cal said its Jagga IF FOS is off the board! So Cal is effectively saying we have FOS, then Jagga. Its just that most ITKs have FOS going top 2 now

 

[V_23]

He's quick. Not super fast but quicker then all our current mids except probably Walsh.

I wouldn’t call Walsh quick

 

[Flaggers22]

I'd like to take credit for manifesting Jagga to Carlton into existence, I have had 'Moves like Jagger' stuck in my head for over a month now, surely that has to count for something. Moreover, I think he will be keen to repay us too, we're saving him from Australia's most boring city.

Are you getting Jagga mixed up with Draper?

 

[SirSanchez]

I think Cal just said Smith is the favourite for us rn.

It’s all part of the ruse and the mind games . Austin isn’t giving up any info to media or anyone and I love it. Keep everyone guessing right up to Wednesday night.

 

[Schoonerman]

Anyone have any idea what's going on with Noah Cumberland? I would've thought he'd be a shout for a rookie pick or train on spot, but haven't seen anything linking us or any other club to him.

He has signed with his local club the Maroochydore Roos up here on the Sunny Coast

He said if FOS is off the board its a race of 2. That doesnt mean we definately take FOS if available. It could just mean if FOS was there its a race of 3.

Think Butters is a closer comp for his body type, and he had the same questions his draft year from memory. Jagga isn't as crash and bash as Butters but he showed that smaller mids can compete in and under if they have that vicious attack on the ball. Jagga has that in spades.

So it depends if you put more credence on the opinions of big footy posters or professional recruiters.

Never pretended to be an expert with this stuff and so I obviously trust the recruiters with whichever way they go. Just sharing my opinion.

Didn’t seem to bother him in vfl

Unless he’s not going to ever have a preseason or do weight training at AFL level, no I am not worried at all.

 

[Blue and Silver]

Is Smith quick? Worried our midfield is going to continue to be slow.

Zippy, Quick of mind and to move the ball.

Not an electric top pace, but he doesn't get caught much.

Plays quick, move it quick, runs everywhere.
