I suspected this might be the case. Tauru to me seems like a JT pick. If it’s just a message we are putting out & not reality, it could cause North to take him at 2, and we get another mid to pick from at 5.

    Agree if they want Tauru our best position is them not being confident he gets passed our pick 5  forcing them to take him at 2. This increases the midfielder options available to us at pick 5.

    My guess is our draft board (minus academy etc) looks something like:

    Band 1- Lalor, (?FOS),
    Band 2 - Langford, Tauru

    Band 3 - in some order  (?Smillie, Draper, Smith) Allan, Lindsay, Reid, Armstrong

    If Langford is gone we take Tauru knowing one of the mids will be there at 9.

    But Langford is plan A and Tauru going at 2 helps with that. Then it’s a matter of what we do at 9.

    If Langford and Tauru are both gone that’s when we perhaps get creative on how we get the best combination of our third band of players.

    The big plus with Tauru is hes a November birth and his rate of improvement late was huge. He basically playing against everyone older then himself, and if you take Jagga Smith who is a Jan birth, at times 10 months difference which at this stage of a players development can considerable make a big difference.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
