What does Jagga have that is superior to a fit FOS - Current form at U18 and VFL levels. FOS has zero form and is a huge risk. Hindsight may favour FOS or another draftee but we are not the benefit of it. No matter who we select at pick one, Richmond will most likely be lambasted for the selection. FOS form this weekend for our VFL side may have a huge bearing on our first pick. I actually hope he is more effective than Jagga as then we’ll have a form line.

Pick 1 is a poison chalice this year, with so many players to choose from. It's still great to have as it's nice to have the first crack at it, means we don't have to rely on who isn't picked but also there is more chance we don't pick the best player when looking back in years to come.
I think it's why it's so important the club gets its hands on multiple 1st rounders this year.

Those picks around 6 & 8 are going to be very good this year, as you say guys like Langford and Lalor should be available but if not then one of the big names will slide. Can't lose really.

I think with Dusty retiring (Thanks for the memories!!) and potentially Shai, we need to get Lalor and Hotton. We'll be losing 2 game winners and need to replace them. It will be hard for them to reach the same heights (Lalor has no chance of matching Dusty and thats not a knock on him), but we're losing 2 x factor forwards. Our small forwards have done well this year, I've been impressed, but I don't see them as 'match winners'.
I think Armstrong with a year or 2 being taught by Lynch is a good move too.

Thats it. If it’s not Lalor and Langford it could be Smith, Smilie or FOS. Whatever happens at any point in the first round, we get amazing quality players.
Pull the trigger Blair. Bolton, Baker, Rioli, Graham, Short. All should go.

FOS was All Australian last year playing for Vic Country as an underage player. Jagga couldn't get a game and is also the oldest player in the draft

U17 form yes! but form last year at champs was against a different set of U18 players. This years crop is better on average. He has no form against these U18 players and I stress U 18s. They have another year of development that FOS has basically missed due to injury.

I said the Broad stuff was BS. Here you go. But then again, one poster did say i was full of myself. EAD FW.

Richmond backman makes contract call following reported rival interest — Zero Hanger
The triple premiership Tiger was recently linked with a Victorian club.
Who cares about that? He dominates now.
it must also be said that he is risking his rankings by playing for our VFL side. If he has a poor game or games then you can pretty much put a line through him for pick 1. It will also be harder at VFL level to have an impact... Jagga racks up possessions but he isn't that damaging with the ball.

Nice. Broad and Vlaustuin have both had good seasons, playing alongside some pretty raw backline partners. I’ve think they’ve held up really well considering.

Jagga's first game was quite good from a metres gain perspective, his second game wasn't as good. I think it depends on his opponents and game experience. Jagga's choice to play VFL has been a good decision so far.

Pick 1...
Going to need this backline experience so we aren't getting done by 100 every week
Our recruiters put years into these players, they definitely don't just recruit on this year's performance alone and would have a pretty strong database of past players of similar circumstances. This is the part of recruiting is nuffies have no idea about - how they account for mitigating factors that affect their U18 year and may or may not play a role once they are in an AFL system

we need big bodies with speed. no short people.
It won't be FOS. If we don't get him at 1 we don't get him.
Last year's crop was better at the top end and he was one of them.
Pick 7 -> Richmond
Pick 13 (Freo) & 20 (GC) -> Port
Houston -> Dees
Could leave us with 1, 6(GC), 7(Dees), 8(Freo), 16(Freo), 17(Bris), 21, 22(Graham).

Maybe FOS was number one last year but he’s missed a years development. I’m not advocating we don’t pick FOS, however, if he does not perform in the next couple of weeks I think any club would be reluctant to pick him at one.
Reid was number 1, Walter was number 2. FOS was next with McKercher.
The only rule in drafting is get the best player for your club's future. It would take balls if he doesn't perform, you're right. Let's see how he goes.
Wouldn't Port just take pick 7 for Houston in that scenario?

I can see why Smille was ranked no.1 up until the Nationals. I watched the extended highlights of the AFL Academy v Western Bulldogs VFL game noting they are the best VFL team going this year. 15 of the top 20 picks were playing for the Academy and Smille looked a level above. Ran around with a level of arrogance that only the very best players ever do.
Depends if they'd prefer two 1st rounders in a deep draft rather than just one considering their next pick is 36....
