Can I have some of whatever you’re on? I see a guy who gets it done rather than a star with JVR. 

There's none so blind as those who will not see.

When Cal talks about p6. Whilst all the recruiters reckon it’s Smillie @ 6, Cal wonders whether Tiges jump on Allan here knowing both Dees & Saints are interested.

We will grab Allan at 5, Tauru at 9 I can see it now

Tauru won’t get passed the Saints or a trade up for the second saints pick, I don’t believe they won’t trade if they get a great offer.

If Richmond want to take Allan at 6 that’s fine. St Kilda take 2 of Draper, Smillie, Travaglia. We’ll snap up the one that gets through or pivot to Lindsay

That's the only way I can see it potentially, but the whole trying to turn defenders into forwards doesn't sit well with me at all. 

If we're desperate for a key forward then grab someone like a Jobe Shanahan who's a natural key forward and proven at VFL level that he can kick goals.

HENCE Petty forward is doomsday stuff!!

[dazzledavey36 54,764]

This is my prediction.

Richmond - Lalor

North Melbourne- FOS

Carlton - Smith

Adelaide - Langford 

Melbourne - Taura

I could go Allan 5, Reid 9, thank your mother for the rabbits. 

[Lord Neville X Flash 281]

1. Lalor, 2. Tauru, 3. FOS, 4. Draper - then we take Smith with 5

When pick 9 comes up, if we like 3 players still available, we offer Smith to Richmond for 10 and 11

 

I am assuming this is possible/allowed, but havent looked at rules about trading on draft night

Same as Fox Footy’s Phantom.

Could easily be the way it goes but quietly hoping that North pick Tauru or Adelaide pick Draper.

See what Cal comes up with this afternoon I guess.

I'm convinced we'll take Tauru with 5 as well now.

[Pulp Fritschon 736]

The drums are certainly starting to beat for Tauru. 
 

His hands look super special to me. Play him forward. Yes please.

@Demonstone Here's another one for you. I've seen this version of Tauru written so often that I thought Admiral Yamamoto and Commander Fuchida had started posting on Demonland.

* Tauru.

You're not allowed to spell his name incorrectly unless we draft him.  

[Lord Neville X Flash 281]

Why are we suddenly likely to get Tauru? 

Seems like this year more than ever clubs will be putting up smoke and mirrors to get the player they want

[DubDee 25,762]

And with pick 5 in the best draft in years, MFC select.... a medium defender

 

I trust JT but he will test that trust if he does this

[DubDee 25,762]

This site if we trade picks on draft night will be a thing to behold!

 

[Insert meme here]

[Nascent 9,210]

Tauru is a gun and will be very happy if we draft him. Particularly with our KPP needs. Along with Travaglia and Lalor he is one the most aggressive and competitive players in the pool. 

Puts added pressure on getting pick 9 right with a mid but we have one of the best in the league choosing so I'm comfortable whichever way it falls.

Allan, Lindsay, Hynes, Berry, Reid at 9 with the potential for Smillie or Travaglia still on the board. Can't complain with any of those players.

It's a clear sign that we intend to Zero in on him.   (IYKYK)

 

[Demon Jack 6,905]

If we draft Tauru, I think it shows how much optimism the club has that both Petracca and Oliver will both be back to their best next season.

[DubDee 25,762]

I reckon we would be placing a lot of importance on competitiveness and character 

Any idea who is best on this front in the top 10?

I personally think that is a bit of a stretch…. Probably more likely they think there is no point building a draft strategy alongside a scenario that may or may not happen… 

[adonski 12,041]

You know it makes sense

I appreciate your optimism, but ending up with say Tauru and Lindsay, when just a couple days ago we were eyeing off Langford/FOS/Smith and Allan, is uninspiring to say the least
