Wow. 
I was initially hoping for Jagga at pick 5, but after watching this highlights package I think Draper has leapfrogged him.

The only thing with Draper is that I just can’t see Adelaide not taking him if he’s still there. He is definitely a top talent and it wouldn’t even surprise me if Richmond take him at pick 2 after this rumoured pick swap with North.

    83 - Slim  

    Would be a great addition, immediately enhances club culture. Get him in.

    I hear he’s a bit of a fat boy.

    5. Hope Draper slides to us but would take Smith - Looking for Round 1 impact and point of difference in our mix.

    9. I am leaning towards Smillie, think if he gets to work in an AFL system he’s a real weapon with his size and kicking - I am ok with him ending up a 195cm HBF with a long and accurate kick if that’s how it shakes out

    Kinda hoping for the flying Viking at 5

    The joint would go into meltdown about not taking a mid at 5. But he reminds me of a young N riewoldt, D Schwarz, P Knights. Blonde haired aerialists. There's just something good about them

    Never fear HT,  a pre-season with Steve Moneghetti will get those skin fold numbers right down.

    Just rewatched a Smith and Langford highlight reel, Langford every day of the week. For some reason I watch Smith and can’t help but think he’s a newer model of Caleb Daniel.

    Pick 5: Smith or Langford

    pick 9: Smillie or Allen 

    If we pick Langford then Allen for pick 9

    If we pick Smith then Smillie for pick 9

    based on these highlights it's hard to see him not being afl-ready 

    it's also hard to see him lasting until our first pick

    5. LALOR/DRAPER/LANGFORD/SMITH

    9. If one of the above is still available take him if not SMILIE/TRAVAGLIA/ALLAN/SHANAHAN

    83. DENNIS

    Exactly what I see BA. I try to tell myself that at least Smith will be a more damaging, upgraded version, but I just can't unsee the same 'posession first' mentality. I'm sure he still would be a good pick up, but there maybe more genuine match winners available at pick 5.

    I see very minimal hurt factor with Jagga. He sure gets a lot of it, but there isn’t much wow factor with his disposals.

    His ability to keep finding the ball is amazing, however. But give me quality over quantity.

    Scully used to rack up possessions at junior level too based on his running. 

    Smith looks better but not sure how much. If you don’t have the frame and height you need to be excellent at everything else in the midfield

    I don’t think too many on here consider themselves experts. We’re just mug punters who have watched a handful of u tube clips and have an opinion, an addiction to the game and the MFC. A few would have watched some games live but the majority don’t have the time.

    Watching these clips again make me want Langford and Hynes. The latter is on the end of a lot of Langford's bullets.

    If Langford had pace he'd IMO be so far ahead of any of the others as a number pick 1.

    I think his lack of pace is overstated though. He's got that burst of acceleration when he hits the contest. He's got great hands, a beautiful kick, a great overhead mark and he kicks goals. He's very likely to be an A+ AFL player IMO.

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
