Feels as if it’ll be between Langford and Smith. Unsure who I’d prefer

Twomey I reckon called it 2 or 3 days before. I remember being skeptical at the time and wishing we’d go for Curtin. Glad to be wrong

I feel like the majority of mock drafts I look at generally land on us taking Langford at pick 5, with pick 9 being completely up in the air. Langford at 5 would most likely rule out Allan at 9 (both big bodied mids). I’m just hoping we don’t end up with Armstrong. Don’t want to knock a kid, but I am happy with JVR-Turner-Jeffo as young KPF stocks at the moment. Petty can go back with may approaching retirement. What we need is pace and class in the midfield/off HB.

Well if Tauru is available at 9 (he won’t be), there’s almost no chance we’d pass on him

Wow. I was initially hoping for Jagga at pick 5, but after watching this highlights package I think Draper has leapfrogged him. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aPBd_hppxYc

Just re Tauru, when was the last KP draft bolter that ended up being a game changer? I’m sure there would’ve been some but I can’t list any off the top of my head. I’m skeptical by nature, but fairly glad the rumours suggest we’re cooking on him

I mean, if smith’s off the board and Draper is available at our first pick, I wouldn’t hate picking him up 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Assuming north are unable to trade down past our first pick, and take Tauru 5 - Jagga 9 - Bo Allen others I wouldn’t be disappointed with would be Draper or Langford at 5, and Travaglia, Reid or Smilie (unlikely gets there) at 9

No offence to Bowser, but I’d want to draft someone with a lot more upside than him at pick 9 in an ostensible super draft

No thanks. Armstrong a big ❌❌. I honestly think he’s the 4th most attractive KP prospect in this draft, behind Tauru, Trainor and Shanahan. Place the trust in JVR and Jeffo. Reid at 9 wouldn’t be disastrous, but not my first choice.

Could get cold feet, but think I’m pretty set now. I want Bo Allan at pick 9. At 5 one of Langford or Jagga, but Allan at 9 for sure.

I think Norf will split 2 into 6 and 10/11/14 with Richmond. I see them, as a result, taking Tauru 6. Probably too much of a reach to take him at 2, but 6 is more justifiable. After that I think the saints take 2 mids 7/8 - likely looking to be Smillie and Murphy Reid. With tauru hypothetically off the table, I would be very happy to see us target Travaglia. There’s something about a skinny, quick half back/midfielder that’s very endearing (like a will day type). However, in a dream world I would love love love Melbourne to take a punt on Taj Hotton at pick 9. That kid is an absolute superstar in the making, who is only not in top 5 contention due to his ACL injury earlier this year. Upside is ridiculous and has the X factor that we crave.
