Spidey senses are telling me FOS…

This would mean with pick 5 we’d be picking between 2 of Langford/FOS/Draper, wouldn’t it? Assuming norf take Tauru of course

Smith and Allen would be a good result, good foils for each other

May be so, I just detest the idea of spending a top 10 pick in a ‘super draft’ on a raw key forward when we’ve taken key forwards with our last pick in 2/3 drafts. I’m still bullish on Jeffo, and JVR has all the makings of an elite Key forward. What’s more, our 2021 flag was built on an outstanding midfield, not a ridiculous forward line. I’d prefer to address our aging midfield before the inevitable media swarm next offseason

Lindsay is a weird one for me, I’m not sure I see enough in him to warrant selecting him over say an Allan or Travaglia. Doesn’t really stand out to me, could be wrong

The thought of getting Armstrong is very disheartening. What happened last time we took a key forward at pick 9?

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.
