Welcome to Demonland: Pick 9

[manny100 1,486]

Rookie me September 2022 Rankings had Jeffo at 11.  As you can see his output was OK despite a leg injury for part of the season.. He was a skinny kid was always going to take a few years to play at the AFL level as a KPF. That is the reason he has been given 2 full seasons at VFL level. 

THE LEAN MARKING MACHINE

A skinny tall forward who proves proficient in the air, Jefferson is one of the key position players with the most upside in this year’s group. Though his production isn’t as high as others just yet, the 18-year-old is mobile at 195cm and offers great range with his lanky frame. Already a clean marker of the ball, he has some filling out to do and while he can play at both ends of the ground or on a wing, looks a likely type up forward.

LAST MONTH:

Though it has since been revealed he was playing through injury, Jefferson still managed to hit the scoreboard in his few games in August. Two bags of five goals rounded out his school football season, before he snared four in the final NAB League regular season round. He managed 3.3 the next week, and his leg injury perhaps accounts for the otherwise low production numbers outside of his goalkicking for the Chargers.

This video is a bit old (6 days old), so it doesn't take into account our Pick 9 trade swap. But it is interesting, showing all of the potential type of trades teams (including us), could be involved in.

Where are we discussing pick 5 on this site?

One of these will happen imo. Hopefully with Richmond

 

Understand Richmond might seek to consolidate a bit but surely they’ll be looking to spread that bounty out over two drafts, not just improve their hand here.

Hope Lalor is there for us at 5…. JT is good at spotting good players but can’t think of many elite leaders we’ve brought in during his time and that is what we need to start banking

Yeah I’m hoping we get Lalor too, but I’m guessing he goes at pick 1. Maybe we split 9, and trade up to pick 2?

[Grr-owl 1,202]

Which one has the most [censored] in 'im?

[spirit of norm smith 16,172]

Keep 5. Keep 9.  Keep “65”. 

likely draft order is

1-Lalor (tigers) 2- Ashcroft* (lions father son ) 3- Tauru (NMFC) 4- O’Sullivan (blues) 5- Draper (crows) 

6/ Dees … look at Smith, Smillie or Langford.  Tough decision.  All are very good.
Langford probably is the one to take.  

7/Tigers would grab Smith

8/Saints would grab Smillie

9/ Lombard* bid … Suns academy match  

10/ Saints likely to take Harry Armstrong 

11/ Dees … it’s either Lindsay or Travaglia. Either would be great additions for “9”. They are both running outside types but can win the footy too (Lindsay plays like Josh Kelly, Travaglia plays like Trent Rivers). Outside chance Murphy Reid

I am amazed Langford isn't more linked to pick 1, given he's a bigger body mid who can go forward and grew up a mad Tigers fan.

Hopefully it stays that way and we can take him at 5

What I find stranger is the assumption the Crom will simply take Draper given he's from S.A

Good overhead grab, great kick.

If we manage to snaffle 2 out of Lalor, Langford and Tauru, we’d have done extremely well

[Lil_red_fire_engine 11,087]

Everything I see of Langford and Reid they look clean and skilled but just look so slow compared to the others. It’s really drawing me away from rating them with others.  

Really hoping for one Lalor or Smith to slip to us at 5 and then take one of Travaglia or Lyndsay at 9.

I think Langford might be a champion regardless of the lack of pace. Gonna be really interesting to see how he's rated come draft night.

I'm hoping Jagga drifts out to P5. Would require Norf going early on a tall with pick 2. As well as Adelaide ignoring him. Maybe wishful thinking unfortunately.

I’ve seen him linked, along with Lalor and FOS. I reckon they’re a clear top 3 and only North’s need for a tall will see Tauru slot in with them.

Carlton moving up the obvious link is they think FOS is there at 3, but they’d probably be just as happy for Lalor or perhaps even Langford

At this stage I’d probably predict it goes:

Rich - Lalor
North - Tauru
Carl - FOS
Adel - Langford
Melb - ???
OR

Rich - Langford
North - Tauru
Carl/Adel - FOS/Lalor
Melb - ????

I’m actually ready for a Jase Taylor special at 5. One of the on ballers will make it to 9

In that scenario I’d take Draper at 5

If North are comfortable we won’t take Tauru, I reckon they’ll split the pick with Tiges for p6 (+ one of their other bazillion picks).

That's the main worry for mine. Could see tigers taking both Lalor and Langford in this scenario.

[spirit of norm smith 16,172]

@DeeSpencer Crows would be crazy not to pick Draper if available. Hometown kid.   He’s the complete package as a midfielder.  Pace.  Skills. Smart.  He’s the equal of any of the other young stars.  If he’s there at “4” for  Crows, lock him in.

soemthing came out a few weeks ago about him saying in an interview that he would prefer not to bed drafted to Adelaide after the way they treated Rachelle . Can’t confirm if that was legit or if the crows would even care .

He and his management have said those rumours were untrue, for whatever that's worth

I just wonder how much Richmond will care to pay up if North have telegraphed their pick. Richmond might well say, go ahead, take your guy at 2 and we’ll have someone fall out.

They’d probably make an offer of something like 2 and 24 but there’s less incentive for Richmond to really push hard.

I wouldn’t be overly upset to see Draper available at pick 5 😉
