Strength of character by getting suspended every single year? How about he focuses more on being more discipline first before we talk leadership.

I'd be ropeable if we take Taura with pick 5. Fancy wasting a top 5 pick on a third tall defender that can't kick while others around us take elite mids. Only at Melbourne

Marc McGowan from the Age running with Langford and Armstrong https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/we-surveyed-13-afl-recruiters-this-is-how-we-predict-the-draft-will-unfold-20241113-p5kqdv.html

Wow great get..

That to me sounds like that if we had to choose between Langford and Smith, we'd obviously select Smith?

Was that the game he kicked 6??

Spot on. I see too much of Jayden Hunt in Travaglia. Which isn't a bad thing because he's carved out a solid career himself. Blazes away far too often when he gets on a run off half back and usually comes back the other way. Smith is an absolute jet, I'm still scratching my head how he's not in top 2 discussions. If he slides to our pick and we select him, that's a steal in my eyes. Him and Langford are a win for us either way. Glad someone else sees the same in what I see in Allan. I reckon his potential is enormous. He's got the athletic and physical profile to play round 1, but also potential to slide into the midfield in a year or two and play a similar style to Elliot Yeo. Smith/Langford along with Allan would be a huge draft win for us.

He's got the talent LH. My issue though is that he's been used used in the wrong position as a defender. That's not his niche. In my opinion he's a genuine Forward/ruckman similar to Sam Darcy from the Western Bulldogs. I want to see more of him as a forward next year then a defender. Either way, his talent and athletic profile is certainly a good fit for us from a list profile and needs perspective.

Myself and @Adam The God have been big on this for a while. There's being a proud father, and then there's being obsessive to the point of it being unhealthy. If Kalani turns down MFC, I don't know who'll be more distraught, the MFC fans, or his player manager Jeff White.

Poor kid sounds incredibly uncomfortable justifying why he has to do gym work.. because you know, that's part of being a professional athlete..

Wayne, this training report is great. It's okay to have a balance of positive and negative because at the end of the day you're calling it as you see it which is all we ask for. There needs to be more of this. @kev martin and @DeeSpencer when he gets down, do this really well. The ones that are annoying the most are the million dollar reports where there's been no mistakes made and everything is all rosy and sunshine. Thanks for the report 👍

Yeah I think athletically Travaglia and Allan would be best fits ahead of Reid.

I think either of Travaglia, Reid or Allan would be good selections for us. I wasn't initially a Reid fan but he's grown on me of late.

Not a fan of FOS, so of it purely came down to Jagga, Draper or Langford then it's a win for us either way. Unfortunately there is no way Lalor lasts to our pick.

We didn't nominate Yze as a father son. He really isn't that good.

Cheers LH.

In other words we'll get 5 new players through the draft/Rookie selections..?

Right no worries, makes sense now.

Well looks like we won't be using this pick after all...
