The question will always be was it culture, development or talent or bits of both. As someone who saw a lot of it, it's very clear to me

Sometimes guys just don’t end up being as good as you’d hope.

They were also thrown to the wolves pretty early in a crap side.

Either Jagga or Draper. I don't think there are going to be too many unhappy blues fans at the end of the day.

One of the reasons I put JS just ahead of SD, is that as an accumulator (JS) they tend to "link" more in transition, which is something our midfield seriously lacks. That player that can be involved 2, 3 or even 4 times in a passage of play. That's why they "accumulate" possessions.
Not saying SD can't or won't do that, but just feel JS to be better at it.
Either way, as I said, I don't think there will be too many of us unhappy after today.

My thoughts exactly.
(I had voted for both 😁)
 
JAGGA or Draper is a win / win situation

Agree.

I've been on Jagga since day 1. He's the best player in the draft imo. But if we ended up with Sid I would be OK with it. Absolute weapon of a mid. I have him at 3-4 in my rankings.

As long as we don't end up with FOS. I've gone into detail in the past why I don't rate him. But just for context I have him at around 15.

Really starting to think that as much as I want Draper in the team, if it's a choice between Sid and Jagga, I think you just have to pick Jagga.
List build and balance over the next 5 years will be awesome.


Remember also - he was named All-Australian Captain so brings some leadership potential. Always a good thing.
 
Interesting watching Jagga's start of the year vs his end of the year at Coates League.

Much more direct in the second half of the season and though he missed a lot more targets, he was probably more damaging.
which is why i've been on him. i'd say someone's had a word and he's taken it on board and chjanged to meet the feedback.

being coachable is an incredible skill

Some of our draft picks were just 'wrong' to begin with while others were simply fortuitous. For instance; virtually everyone would have picked Bryce Gibbs at pick one in 2006 (except for one very canny and vocal supporter who implored us to believe that Selwood was the better player), despite how good Selwood turned out to be.

It's about rationale; development is important but it doesn't really say anything about the selection itself.

Both are outstanding championship of our game, so one should have no issues with the drafting either youngster.
Yeah it was no diss on Jagga, I highly rate Hodge's career and would take anything remotely close to that.

The selection was spot on...

The development was AWFUL...
