Opinion Pick 5* 2024 – Who do you want?

[The Dr]

I know he is tied to an NGA but I'd still take a dip at Kako at pick #5 and see if the Bombers blink.

Best small forward in the pool and I reckon he'd make a good duo with Pickett.

All the good teams have a great group of smalls. I don't want to see us run it back with Chandler or DJ Shitboy as Pickett's running mate.

Yeah small forward is a huge hole in our list.

Not that it matters if Goody still plays five lumbering talls up forward.

I think you're conflating speed with an ability to operate in space and think quickly.

Bont and Pendles aren't the fastest players around, but they find space and use it well. I think Langford (and probably Reid) can do that as well.

We don't need someone with leg speed for the sake of leg speed.

Agree here, Hawthorn and Pies are the two fastest ball movement teams but not because they are littered with speedy players.

They have some real plodders but are smart with hands, composure, spacial awareness and taking the aggressive kick when it's on. They have mobile forward lines that push up and back hard. They play to their individual strengths.

We play too many talls and a style that sucks all the fun out.

Kako would be a great get but no way Bombers don't take him just because we bid at 5 which will be 6 by then.

A few hundred extra points isn't going to scare them off. Not going to pass on him to keep pick 20 something and bunch of other picks they don't need to use. The system is so generous it just isn't a consideration.

We're linked to reaching for pretty much every KPF according to that list. Not surprised by the main guys we are linked to but it was a bit of a surprise to see us mentioned as possibly considering Lindsay at pick 5.
