Yeah, a Langford/Reid combo would work well. Plenty of decent options available at both picks. I like Tauru as well, but not sure we'll take a punt on him. Same with Hotton. If we have the choice of Reid or Smillie at 9, I'd be taking Reid. Smart player and exactly what we need in the middle.
Can't miss out of Lalor, Smith, Draper, Langford or FOS tbh. I just hope we don't do anything silly at pick 5 and go someone outside of these guys.
Would you still take Reid at 9 if Langford is gone and we get Draper or Smith at P5? For me i'd be inclined to look at Smillie more favourably in that scenario.

I don't think it will be Smilie, doesn't sound like we are linked to him at all.
Why are people blaming Jeffo, he doesn’t select the team.
Goodwin will never drop Petty for him. Just like he wouldn’t for Armstrong.

Lol at you being that stupid thats your takeaway from the post
Most people are in agreement that Goodwin lacks selection integrity by constantly playing under performing favourites. Despite that it's still concerning that Jefferson hasn't had a taste after two years in the system. I've said many times before I still have some faith in him but he's running out of time.

I think there are a couple of guys at 5 that could be stars, so I wouldn't.
I would be open to splitting 9. Quite possible that a couple of guys we really like don't make it and then left with a group that we like but confident atleast 1 or more are still going to be there further back.
Teams who who have a particular type of player they want will be looking hard at pick 9. GWS have history trading on draft night as things start to play out. 15,16,21 - I think they would package up to move up. Tigers with 18 and one of their low 20 picks.

If buddy was playing for us in his prime Goody would probably play him back and leave petty forward

Or try to break him by playing 2nd ruck

Not adding SEN to the tracker as they're not draft specialists (and I've never heard of some cat named Nathan Sepe), but this would be a genuinely disastrous outcome lol: https://www.sen.com.au/news/2024/11...tom-draft?mc_cid=b0ad2a15af&mc_eid=b3b6baeac7
That is full glass barbie level shyt.
I'll be the first to admit I know nothing of the draft but seeing Jobe Shanahan name made me think of the simpsons when they have to go on a tight budget and instead of pork chop night (Reid/Tauru/Travaglia/Lindsay) they go with chubb night (Shanahan) I don't even know what that is.
Having said that after looking him he looks OK but not while those picks are on the board. I don't think Smilie would be a disaster but it's pretty lazy to just go down the line of Melbourne need a forward and reach with the next available KPF.
