If the Tigers take him at 6 it could throw a spanner in the works.

Lock in Smith if he makes it to 6.

I think poor Pickett may have gotten a tad over excited that afternoon.. 😳

In all seriousness, I am one of JT's biggest fan, he's a screwed operator. I just hope we get the desired outcome that our list needs.

Who screwed him????😉

Listened to Gettable. 

Lindsay was interviewed - his manager says he is right in the mix for our pick. 

Adelaide list boss was interviewed - says they have been locked in for a few days, but it was a close call.  Very little to split the top group, which they think includes Kako and Tauru. Said Draper and FOS struggled in the carnival as they came undercooked due to injury, which made it hard to compete.  Said they came good at the end of the year. 

Also said they didn't need a big bodied midfielder as they have Dawson and Curtain, who they think could be a midifielder.  

Said they were interviewing one other player today, which could alter who they picked.  Wouldn't reveal who - but maybe Tauru?  He said Tauru was absolutely amongst the best "four or five" players in the draft. 

Sounds like they like Draper, but its a pretty line ball call. Seems like the other two in the frame are Langford and Tauru.

If we are 50/50 with Allan, we can swap 5 for their 6 and plus one of 18, 23 or 24 all likely to attract nice offers as the draft unfolds.

24 is a very nice pick at the start of round 2 and usually in high demand and attracts a premium.  Probably an extra premium this year with the likelihood of a few sliders. 

 

Wouldn't be against this as I expect that we can still get a very, very good player with one of their later picks. I think it likely comes down to how much we rate Allan and if we're of the opinion that he won't be there at Pick 9, and we're set on using Pick 5 elsewhere, it makes a fair bit of sense. Of course, the other side of the coin is that Richmond would likely need to be spooked into thinking that Allan could go to us at 5, otherwise surely they'd just use 6 on him?

Sorry do you mean they are looking to move one of their later picks down so they can move 10/11 up ahead of us to get Allan? Like for example they trade 10/11 & 20/23/24 to Saints for 8 & 32?

Feels like a win for both teams as Tiges get their guy with Allan and still maintain 8 picks inside the first 2 rounds, Saints will still get their guy might’ve been picking anyway in Lindsay or Berry and move up to put themselves in the range to grab a mid like Hynes or a tall like Trainor who is similar to Tauru.

That's my understanding mate. Lot of reporting coming through that Tigers will have plenty of offers for those later picks too, given that there's likely going to be a few sliders this year and depth of the first round is deep. Tigers are in great position this year to get very creative.

The Tigers are the bachelorette tonight and tomorrow, they are going to be approached by a lot of men wanting the same thing

Tauru at 9 should that happen 🤔

Reading Langford’s body language on gettable makes me think that he’s going to Adelaide. He looks really flat. Makes me think that he knows that he’s moving interstate. I really hope that I’m completely wrong with this.

Maybe, looks like a nervous kid to me.

Mentioned melbourne a couple times and said he would fit in there well with his previous experience from pre-ssason. Curiously Koltyn Tholstrup has reached out to him I  the last couple days. Not sure there's much to read into that.

[Demongirl35 1,053]

The good thing about having pick 5 is that in the event someone calls out Langford ahead of us, we get a chance to pick another quality midfielder, possibly Draper or Smillie who was once a contender for higher selection.

We are actually very likely to pick Tauru at 5 in that scenario as mentioned by Twomey and others.

I secretly hope it ends that way although I would love Langford in addition to Tauru. Guess we can only hope!! 

[dazzledavey36 54,873]

This guy follows the draft fairly closely.
