Would be shocked if the number 1 pick isn't Smillie or FOS.
Expecting a few surprises by November with the top 10, but I would be shocked if the top pick wasn't one of those two. It's rare that the expected top 2 picks don't eventuate this close to November.

Shows you how even the crop of midfielders are…. And given the selection panel includes a number of AFL recruiters he may be considered a later top 10 pick rather than top 5.
What people don’t realise is there is years of data not weeks. I think you may be right although Lalor and Draper in the question too.
He had an average carnival. Nothing more, nothing less.
That hasn’t been announced but if they’re expanding academy I’m suggesting things will be tightened

Pick 1...
FOS will have school footy and then play some TAC you'd imagine. Smillie needs to play VFL imo.

No AA - will slide to our pick at 63 now...They're doing a phantom draft on the Drafts Board and still there at pick 8
Would also love to get Langford. Big body and left footer winning the Larke medal. And, most importantly is a Tiger supporter!

If his rankings were to hold up come the draft and we were able to trade Rioli & Baker for 2-3 picks in the 6-12 range while keeping 1 we could well fix the list in an instant. FOS, Smith, Lalor & Draper plus a couple of KPF in the 2nd round and the team would look quite a bit better heading into next year.
But we all know that deep down the club isn't doing anything that will put us in that position, so we'll end up with a bust at pick 1, RCD/Dow quality at 21 and a bunch of role players who just need half a dozen games to establish themselves as solid B graders.

What this highlights, amongst other posts, is the club will really be showing their hand this off season and that comes with huge expectation from the fans.

Here is a question I have been mulling for a while. You have 2 players who look identical in the way they play. Everything else between them is the same. The only difference is that;
Player A - Has proved consistent output in U16 - U18. Has had good games consistently but has never had a period of where he was undisputedly the best in the competition for that period. Consistent top performer for the U18 league and was always named as one of the bests in the carnival games
Player B - Played well enough in the U16 and U17 to be maintained on junior talent lists, but for his draft year has come on. He is shooting the lights out and looks like he is a top 10 talent in the draft. Kills the carnival and wins the Larke Medal.
My gut feeling is that Player A is the safer bet as he has shown a level of consistency over multiple years. Flip side is that maybe it has all "Clicked" for player B and his ceiling is huge.
I just sometimes worry about the players that get put in mock drafts when I hear the words "Has really come on and shown strong performances this year".

I don't think Cotchin made AA in his draft year either and had an average carnival. He dominated TAC Cup finals though which confirmed his place at 1 or 2.

Pick 1...
Not sure on Cotch. Rozee and Sheezel didn't make AA
whens a number one pick not made the AA?

Hawks just took himThey're doing a phantom draft on the Drafts Board and still there at pick 8
If we stay at pick 1 and Draper looks to be around the #1 mark do we trade Pick 1 to Adelaide for Pick 5 and and a 2025 1st. They will want to pick SA kids. If Trainor goes to North then we could get faller out of Smith/Smillie/FOS or whoever jumps up the order and still have a future 1st from Adelaide which would probably still be a top 5-8 pick.
He's got shitforbrains if he goes Smillie at 1.
If someone wants to take Armstrong top-10 that's their folly.
Doesn't have Cotch's pace and power.
Neither. Doesn't have anything like Gulden's penetration. Kicks a lot of up-and-unders. Good player but not at the level of Cotch or Gulden.Cotchin but with Gulden's foot skills....
It is accurate.

Something special about receiving Pick 1. Fans get excited after going through a shit year. I'd keep it. Just my opinion.
Surely we ask JS and FOS as well?
