Nah they'd do a deal with North for pick 2. Richmond's pick 6 and one of their later ones to ensure a Lawlor/Smith double. They won't do that though because Smith or Langford might fall to 6 anyway.

I'm hoping Adelaide do what they have to to get the local lad and Carlton do what they've been linked to in Walsh's cousin (FOS) and we're left with JT being able to chose between Langford and Smith (imagine he chose Armstrong 😂)

That's great for us because Adelaide will now be spooked into trading up with Norf and Norf can use 4 on Tauru!

Bends them over one last time on the way out 😂

I wonder if Richmond do 6 & 20/23/24 for North's pick 2. Feel Richmond would love to pair up Lawlor and one of Smith/FOS and also we know North desperate af to split and 6 is prime to get Tauru and not be seen as reaching..

Doesn't he just look like he has "it" Not sure why some pundits have him end of first round (seen pick 20 on one phantom 😵)

They don't have to break lines with pace they have beautiful lateral movement and exquisite disposal. Sharp looks to have a bit of toe and will add some pace next year

5 Langford 9 Reid I'm locked in now. Absolutely been sleeping on Reid, he looks beauty!

If he wants limited opportunities at a plastic club and to pass up on an opportunity to play for his father's club on the G for the club he grew up supporting, I doubt any of us will lose an ounce of sleep over it.

Were we linked to Reid at some stage? Imagine drafting Langford and Reid, all of a sudden our skill level goes up immeasurably

Who will go to Port because Adelaide had their chance and they passed on him.. 😎

There are quite a few guys I'd be happy to take at 5, but Langfords the one that fills me with the most dread that if he's available and we pass it will bite us big time. Looks to be one of those special players that just does everything right, and conveniently falls to 5 as there are other players with more flashy traits that see them go higher.

Don't know about that I feel it all comes down to who's available at 5 and our potential to fill certain positions in the future. Maybe if we know Khalani White and or Derksen still keen we just grab 2 mids

This is my life now.

General consensus amoungt the amateur draft gurus is FOS goes 1 - 4. Most likely Carlton because he's Walsh's cousin, if that means anything. Think there's a red herring out there that Carlton into Draper to force Adelaide to trade with North so North can take Tauru at 4 instead of "reaching" and get some steak knves - I thin k that scenario is a stretch though

Bouncing between here and Bigfooty I feel like, at least before Cal comes out with his phantom, these are THE outcomes for us at 5; North pick Tauru and our options are; Langford/Smith or other. North take a mid and our options are; Tauru or Smith (Carlton and Adelaide into Draper and Langford) Lawlor/FOS/Draper will be gone.

It's looking like the cards might fall that way. If we rate Tauru high enough & North don't "reach" at 2, he won't last until 9. Think it really depends on what North do, I can't see us passing on Langford, and if Draper's gone before Adelaide's pick then they'll pick a one of Smith or Langford you'd assume.

Based on the above herald sun mock they are suggesting if North take Tauru we can end up with Langford or Smith, if North take a mid it could be Tauru or Smith (Adelaide linked with Langford/Draper) If we take Tauru at 5 we won't take Armstrong at 9. I could deal with a Tauru & Travalia/Allen combo.

Smith got 30 touches in a VFL match for the tiges, he'll be fine.

Glad you asked. I've got two preferred combinations, and I'll list them in order; Preference 1 combo; Smith/Travalia - Pace, drive, tenacity and agility. I see Smith as the perfect accumulator and distributor who will deliver it to our forwards with aplomb and Travaglia a perfect accomplice being a jack Russell in defence running up and down between the arcs providing much needed pressure. Preference 2 combo; Langford/Allen. For all of Langfords silk, skill, grunt and iq you've got Allen's freak athleticism and flare to compliment. Smith and Travalia for me.

Let's get off the fence and state our preferences, perhaps a short explanation as to why. We can muse over a choice but we have to settle on a player for each selection, and it has to be realistic - can't really be going for Lawlor @ 5 and FOS @ 9 etc. Bonus points who's your "unknown" for pick 83?

They could be looking at drafting another key forward and turning JVR into that ruck/forward role but in any sense we've got Jeffo untried and Petty/Turner still developing, plus one hook in Derkson if GWS don't give him flowers. Reckon there's enough speculative talls out there to take a punt on but having the chance at taking two blue chip mids would be negligent to pass up

I planted a rumour on bigfooty yesterday that would serve a purpose for us having more choice of midfielder at pick 5. I know this will have absolutely ZERO effect on absolutely anything and is laughable to think otherwise, but I did my part 😂
