    If Norf swapped with Richmond, and we do love Armstrong, wanting to get in before the Saints have the chance to pick him, there's a world where both Smillie & Langford are available for the Saints. Question is would they double up on big bodied mids? Worst case scenario if we went early on Armstrong is we miss all of the more highly touted midfield options, even Smillie. 1. Rich - Lalor 2. Rich (via North) - FOS 3. Carl (via WCE) - Jagger 4. Adel - Draper 5. Melb - Armstrong 6. North (via Rich) - Tauru 7. StK - Langford, Smillie, Travalgia? Allen? Reid? Lindsay? 8. StK - Langford, Smillie, Travalgia? Allen? Reid? Lindsay? 9. Melb - Langford, Smillie, Travalgia? Allen? Reid? Lindsay?
  2. Usually the opposite of what Chris Doerre says comes true as a general rule of thumb

    Much intrigue remains over whether Richmond and North Melbourne will do a deal which could land the Tigers the first two picks in this year’s national draft. It is believed that the Kangaroos are open to trading pick two and a future first-round selection to Richmond, in exchange for picks six and 11 in this year’s draft. Such a deal would still leave the Tigers with seven early selections this year — at picks 1, 2, 10, 19, 20, 23 and 24 — along with two first-round picks next year.
  4. Distant relative of Doosra Turner
  5. Yes or yes Xavier Lindsay.mp4

    For the guys likely to be available at pick 5, I like Smillie and Langford a lot too!

    We need more runners If we go with a big bodied mid for pick 5, that doubles down on the need for speed with 9 imo

    Manifest the Jagga and Lindsay double!
  9. Hearing we've won the 3:05am Sunday slot at Kardinia Park
  10. Edit: more guess work, another nothing article A big winner during the trade period, the Demons positioned themselves nicely for the draft by grabbing a second top-10 pick. They already held pick five, but also managed to nab pick nine from Essendon. Melbourne gave the Bombers some later selections – as well as their future first-round pick – as part of the deal, but are now well-placed to bring in two top-end talents. List boss Tim Lamb has declared that “supporters should be really excited”. With two top picks, the Demons could snag two different types of players. At pick 5, a gun midfielder like Harvey Langford, Jagga Smith or Josh Smillie would be handy. At pick 9, Melbourne would surely have to look at Sandringham Dragons key forward Harry Armstong if he was still available. Measuring 195cm, Armstrong’s best traits are his overhead marking and his accurate goalkicking, while he also has the tank to push up the ground and get back. The Demons are also considering picking up Gippsland Power small forward Ricky Mentha as a Category B rookie, through their Next Generation Academy.
  11. Still guess work this far out imo
  12. Demonland when we land the Armstrong and Bo Allen double
  13. Think that's just the nature of drafting talls full spot Most are 50/50 bets
  14. Rivers will be a really good goal kicking mid in time. Really surprises me more aren't bullish on him!
  15. The AFL app says we'll use 3 picks Collingwood, Fremantle, Melbourne and North Melbourne are all anticipated to use three selections at the draft, while Brisbane, Geelong, Port Adelaide, Sydney and West Coast are likely to use three or four picks.
  16. Jagga must work part time at Fritsch Electrical
  17. Gee wiz I'll be sitting there at approx. 3:08am on night 2 of the draft in excitement now (unfortunately I'm being serious)
  18. Key forward following ruck as an obsolete position
  19. Ashcroft wasn't drafted with an ACL nor do I have a time machine
  20. A Jagga and Lindsay double would be nice, put some wheels in the side
  21. I don't think you trade into a draft to take a kid with a busted knee
  22. Nah I really don't. I wasn't having a crack btw, Lindsay may turn out to be a massive dud for all I know, just giving my 2 cents to join in the draft fun.
  23. But that's no fun
