Be interesting to see what agresta has to say?
Probably straight bat it lol

Which should move them down the pecking order for us. People talk about us needing speed (and we do) but IMO our ball use is our biggest issue

I agree, but one part of 'ball use' that is often forgotten is how one moves the ball through and out of the stoppage.

Players like Butters, Rozee, Daicos, and to a lesser extent Walsh, have such great evasiveness and decision-making in the clinches that it creates time and space for team mates, which yields improved ball use exiting the stoppage (and then delivering inside 50).

Almost all AFL players can hit targets without imminent pressure - it is kicking under duress that separates the majority from the elite.

IMO adding Langford gives us one excellent kicker, but will not elevate the rest of the side as much as Jagga's skillset will... a rising tide lifts all boats..

“ we clearly see this as a strong draft with elite talent on offer. We traded up to pick three knowing whoever is available at that pick will add something special to our list for the long term.

We have pick three, so we really have to wait & see who’s available at our pick. There’s still a chance of pick swaps ahead of us which could change who’s available for us - we’ll just have to wait & see.

We’ve been on the record saying we’re after pace & run to add to our midfield mix & we’re confident we can find this at our pick”.

Blahby-blah blah blurrghhh

Tom Gross = Dean Rice. Voss would love him. I know we want a tall at 38, but if this guy tumbles (wasn’t long ago seen as a first round pick)…

Opening question:

Well Mick Jagga seems destined for Carlton is the word?

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

For those that haven’t seen it. This is Cody as a 16yo playing first senior game for eventual premiers Echuca (strong league, good quality footballers)

I’m gonna call it now.

He will be in Cals top 40










….. But not Knightmares

 

[marcmurphy3]

Cal seems very confident now that Lalor and FOS go 1&2. Reasonably confident we go Jagga ahead of Draper. Said if FOS was there it would be an interesting call between him and Jagga, but he wont be.

Next question, I bet there’s plenty of jokes about merging your names and a famous rock singer?

Not really, Mick Smith is an okay singer but not that famous…

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Underrated part of this. Whoever we lock gets out in an amazing position to grow without unreasonable burden.

Scott Camporeale winning a flag in his first season comes to mind. He definitely played his part, but didn't get the opposition attention.

Agresta usually doesn’t give much away in these type of interviews leading into the draft

True. Might get his thoughts on a few prospects though which will be interesting. Give us an insight into his logic.

 

[Sector 7G]

But he's got more mongrel in him than art-school Jagger.

Not sure how SV would go with a 3 strike policy or whether he would meet the training standards required.

[Moon]

I'm tempted to go with Harvey Langford

Reckon he will throw a curve ball for shits and giggles

 

[jj1978]

We need a Sheezel, Daicos-esque type player. Jagga. So shall it be written! So shall it be done!

 

[jj1978]

Calling it now, different kind of players but he’s gonna be better than Daicos!!

Not in the kicking department at the moment.

He is such an awkward media performer.

You can tell immediately that he hates public speaking.

 

[ferrisb]

The club needs to have a conversation with Sam Durdin and somehow retract the train on offer

 

[goreds]

Austin has talked a couple of times now about adding speed.
So if we isolate that, then to me it’s gotta be either smith or Draper.

O'Sullivan recorded a 2.989 second 20m sprint, 8.152 seconds in the agility test and on Friday ran the 2km time trial in 6:28 minutes, 93cm running vertical jump (2nd with 93cm) placing him in the top dozen prospects across the four events.

We need to fool him into thinking he’s training for a spot, but training with the VFL team instead

The problem is he’s played so much VFL for us he’d figure it out straight away.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Jagga has a bit of Walsh about him in that he works hard and pops up all over the ground. The opposition tag Walsh because he does offer something that Cripps, Cerra and Hewett don't. Now if Walsh gets shut down, Jagga can step up to fill that void. They have to go to the hot hand.

 

[goreds]

For those that haven’t seen it. This is Cody as a 16yo playing first senior game for eventual premiers Echuca (strong league, good quality footballers)

Runs like the old man.

Can we book him in now and get plates put into his shoulders???

 

[jj1978]

Composure in heat we lack. Cripps doesn't have it, but he's so brute that he creates time in heated moments for himself. Walsh aint great at it and neither is Cerra. Hewett not bad as he's aware of his limitations moreso. Jagga is key and adding in the Campos sets up a tantalizing midfield and plus with Walkerboy in a couple of years we'll have a potentially juicy midfield/Wing units as we transition from Cripps + Hewett + Acres (Walkerboy, Jagga, Walsh, Cerra, Campo2, Holland2)

I like agresta
