I am sure we will coach all of that out of him before games kick off. No wait it's a new era 😁

@Ted Lasso If all three are there which one are you taking?

And everyone got a bargain and every pick with no single player having a flaw in their game.

Ross Lyon is such a control freak he won't even let someone else present the jumper of whoever they take with pick 50 LOL

BOB or Wright would be good solid additions from my limited viewing and knowledge.

Assuming he is not bid on before us could we force it by saying we will bid on Dean and give them the option of 8 for 9&11? I get confused with the points whether there is a clear benefit to them with that swap?

My sense reading between the lines with Twomey its 2 of Robey, X Taylor, Cumming, Farrow and Nairn possibly in that order at 7&8. No mention of us with Grlj or Sharp.

Twomey has Nairn at 24 in his October guide. Pickett was not even mentioned in his year.

The same world where JT plucked Jackson, Pickett, Windsor, Tholstrop higher than any phantom was anticipating this far before the draft. I cant wait until at least one of his picks is super left field and earlier than the expert groupthink.

More competent yes. Validate where they were selected no. I would exclude Bartram from that bunch being he was a pick 60 who knocked out 100 games.

I know it was a later pick duo but why does Grlj/Lindsay feel like Blease/Strauss to me?

Tend agree that top 10 on a tall feels a reach on exposed form but JT generally does not go with the grain. This feels like a draft where you don't necessarily draft best available or for needs but maybe for best 23 highest confidence which is a touch between the two and leans on attributes to play required roles. Key forwards are generally speculative and come with risk and it doesn't feel like the best potential bang for our buck at 7/8

I would prefer us not draft a key tall but it is no surprise that we still might if we spot value. Our forward half keys outside of Mihochek as the interim veteran are no sure thing. Kentfield showed good first full year development, Jefferson at best will be a third tall if he makes it at all, JVR more your second hard working forward foil. With Petty and Disco likely to settle back, Melksham likely in his final year as an undersized stop gap and Fritsch out of contract it is far from set for the future years at this point.

Not many pundits think Cumming would drift passed 10-12 with Herald Sun reporting we are strongly linked.

Agree with this. The number one thing they need is a big bodied mid. Vic boy who barracks for Essendon. Unless they do not rate his footballing ability (unlikely) or rate Sharp higher there is low chance he gets by. Unlike JT who sees attributes and backs himself in I suggest some clubs reduce their view if they have not seen them best vs best at championships but I think chances are slim. I can see a world though where X Taylor is available at our pick.
