Smilie doesn’t want to come west.

He was on one of the podcasts recently and sounded very genuine when he said he’d go anywhere

 

[Wce17]

12 - Lindsay
26 - Oliver

Would be stoked if we could walk away with this combo.

We need a HBF with good skills to distribute the ball around & Oliver sounds like that type of player.

Lindsay would compliment the midfield nicely. Also had great skills.

Our second pick that will end in the 30's think we will take
Charlie Nicholl's or Hamish Davis

I hope it's Davis out of those 2
Pick Dennis late in the draft for a kpd

A pick that high would have made it clear in club interviews if was concerned coming west. I think the club would be well aware he’s good to go if they do get a chance to pick him at 12

 

[Yeahnahmate]

A slider as quality as Smillie, yes if it eventuates. Hoping if not it’s TT or Lindsay still

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

I wouldn't have taken Smilie at pick 3, but if he somehow slides to our pick, then he would be too good an option to pass up.

 

[TOA.]

No doubt in my mind that one or two of the blokes we all want to slide will slide and we will overlook them or trade back - see Matt Johnson for example off the top of my head. Also Hobbs.

Davis is a non-melter pick.

 

[pantskyle]

Smillie at 12 would barely feel like we traded out 3. Quality kid.

 

[aussierulesrules]

FWIW, I think it was reported in The Age that Richmond are very reluctant to part with pick 6, and apparently they really like Smillie there, so if anyone is going to trade up to 2 it’s probably going to be St Kilda.

Talk on our board that it would be for our future first and one of 7 or 8.

This is apparently the direct quote from the article in The Age.



Not sure if they mentioned Smillie in that article, but I’ve read that he’s the one they’re really keen on at 6, which is why they don’t want to move that pick to get up to 2.

And their later picks would be too late to be of interest to North, who would presumably only trade back to a point they’re sure they’d get Tarau at.

 

[Obeanie1]

Lol. Sheezel's performances surged pretty early in 2022, and by mid-season when he started moving into the middle he put in performances such as: 28 disposals and 6 goals; 37 disposals; 33 and 3 goals; 22 and 4 goals.

It was very obvious he was elite and would be able to play anywhere.

Play anywhere.......but not for an interstate club.

Why bring uo Sheezel at all, he didnt want to leave Victoria.

 

[aussierulesrules]

Given the talk that Melbourne and St Kilda are very interested in Bo, if we did happen to do that trade with North (say pick 7 and our future 1st, for 2 and change), and they took Tauru at 7, and 6 “mids” (plus Ashcroft) had been taken prior to that, do you think you guys might try to trade up from 12 to 8, to ensure you could get Bo?

Either so we wouldn’t take him at 8, or Melbourne wouldn’t take him at 9?

Tarau will be there at 10.

So10 and 18.

Richmond keep 6.

Take it or leave it North. Thats how Id be playing my cards if I was the Tigers. Possibly throw in a 2nd if they were really keen. Two 1sts and a 2nd for pick 2 seems overs.

Well I can assure you that basically no WCE fan here would be happy about trading upto 8 and taking Allan. God knows what the club is thinking though. Nothing suprises me now.

I think we would ask the question, but really depends what the cost is

Saints and Dees with multiple picks before 10, likely both take at least 1 tall.
Armstrong and Tauru are the 2 best talls in the draft.

I wouldnt be putting money in Tauru still being there at 10

Id be wanting 6 or 7 if I was north, doesnt matter what else comes with it, anything is a bonus

Pretty sure guys like Twomey think there’s enough interest in Tarau from multiple clubs that he wouldn’t make it to 10.

If we’ve gone with someone who plays midfield with our first pick we could easily go in a different direction with our next one.

And Tarau would presumably be an ideal Battle replacement obviously.

Wouldn’t put it past Melbourne to grab him at 9, either. May 33yo next year and Lever 29.

What’s the general knock on him? 191cm versatile competitive beasts who are explosive and athletic don’t grow on trees. Especially if they also have leadership abilities.

We're not that into him.
