I don't think the comparison was to Buddy just to the fact that if Jefferson was any good being skinny is not an excuse.

I watched a handful of vids and decided Draper was the best thing since sliced bread. I am actually interested to look back on this top 10 or so in a few years.

I agree. He looks amazing. I'm big on hom and Langford.

Whilst full of risk, I get this feeling Smillie could be the best of the lot.

Sorry to intrude, just curious about the dees constantly being linked to Armstrong (or a KPF), the age today is another phantom with you guys going KPF.

Is there a genuine link that you guys know of to a KPF or just the usual case of media taking 1 + 1 and getting 9?

Would have thought its mids to support Rivers in future and I’ve heard from decent source you like Reid. Otherwise maybe Tauru if he got to 9? Is there a world you’d take him at 5?

Would love if FoS slides to us. His impact per possession and athleticism at half forward would be juicy.

The latter. We already have 4-5 developing KPFs, we don't need more.

Says Tauru if on the board won’t get past Melbourne at 5

If the above is true, I'd hope we just take Draper. Fingers crossed North takes Tauru.

Feels like all the phantoms have us taking someone different tbh, don't think anyone has any idea.

 

[stavro#4]

If the above is true, I'd hope we just take Draper. Fingers crossed North takes Tauru.

The above scenario implies Draper is off the board.

He either goes (Jagga goes 2 to the crows) Carlton at 3 or (Jagga goes 3 to the blues) Adelaide 4.

It then implies you want Tauru above Langford or FOS

But if he was off the board at pick 4 to North.

Your taking 1 of FOS or Langford and the other makes it to my mob at 7.

Wouldn't be at all surprised if we're just playing chicken with North, as we did with Essendon. Doubt we'd take Tauru ahead of any of Smith/Draper/Lalor/Langford/FOS.

 

[Scythe94]

Though knowing JT, he'll probably do some weird shit like draft Allan and Hynes, and then have them both turn into guns

 

[Mich0]

If Crowd take Smith at 2 it will likely be

1. Richmond: Lalor
2. Crows: Smith
3. Carlton: Draper
4. North: Tauru
5. Dees: FOS or Langford (Surely we go FOS)
6. Richmond: Langford or Reid
7. St Kilda: Smillie
8. St Kilda: Langford or Armstrong
9. Demons: Travaglia or Allan

Other gets taken by Richmond after us you mean.

Drafting Allan wouldn't be a weird option at all..

He's tipped to go between 8-14.

With five it would be, considering the other midfield talent likely to be on the board.

The articles from today. HSun Age and this one imply Smillie is a lock at 6

Hence Langford being the slider to us at 7. Who Richmond apparently loved too
