Love the optimism but no one is taking Smillie over Langford. If anyone does they should be sacked.

A Richmond list manager who is a coach at the same junior club Smillie plays at and would obviously rate him … might take him at 6.

Sounds like St fans rate Smillie about as much as Dees fans do

If he is the only mid left and he falls to us.

No issues I’ll happily have him.

But if it’s a choice between him and Langford. I want Harvey.

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

Oh my... FOS for sure.

Could you imagine a world where saints take Armstrong (KPF) leaving us with Langford - strong marking, goal kicking mid? Is this McCartin and Trac 2.0? (Poor man's version obviously).

No way Langford gets to our pick 9. Imagine a world where we get FOS and Langford!? Holy hell.

We traded 28, 40, 46, 54, 65 and a future first rounder for 9.

It would take a ridiculous offer to move it on.

Other thing to consider with 9 trade is Kalani White being F/S eligible next year.

Moving our F1 out and being able to match a bid on him could be genius.

I honestly don't think based on what he's produced recently, that we will need a bid too high. But he could have a decent last year as a junior that changes that. His height and athleticism alone could see a first round bid.

I'd go Langford over FOS at this point.

But unsure how much injury impacted FOS year this year.

Langford is a great all-around player (not far off a Brayshaw clone), and his 2km result makes me feel better about his shitty 20m.
