I'm not sure where DS is getting a lack of pace from with Jagga Smith, nor where others are seeing FOS as a good ball user. I don't get FOS though, so each to their own I guess.

Haha, sounds like Donald.

That would be pick 4 though given Ashcroft.

So he had Tom Green at 3? Interesting. Green's a prototype JT pick in my mind. I wonder how he rates Smilie.

If we got Smith and Smilie I'd be dancing on the ceiling. Is that a saying? Anyway, I'd be very happy.

No, we want players this year and next year we'll be banking on White falling in the first round. We want to fly up next year and if we don't we let Clarry and Trac go for first round picks anyway.

He's my number 1. I hope he's still there. The knocks on his lack of damage from accumulation are overblown IMV.

That makes next to no sense to me. We want picks this year, not next year. That's why we traded out of next year.

If that's who is gone by pick 11, I'd be splitting it with GWS for their two firsts.

Smilie, Oliver and Viney is pretty powerful.

Three mids in the top 15 if we can get it, please. I'll settle for two mids in the top 10 too. I'd suggest whether we split our second pick will come down to who's available by 9.

I think we'd love 3 highly fancied mids with slightly different strengths (leg speed, explosion from stoppage and an ability to hit the scoreboard) to add to McVee, Rivers and Kolt, who are all very modern day players. The stronger we make our midfield, the better we will be as a team.

Come on down, Riak Andrew? And thanks for your service, Adam.

The reason I'm fence sitting is it's foolish without all the facts to write off players, and as you rightly point out, some players like McVee and co take time. Countless others. Max, Nev Jetta are others I got wrong, at least I couldn't see them as the players they became. The other variable is talls take longer. But the foolish, knee jerk side of me would say he won't be good enough for AFL level. Let's see what he looks like at the level next year though. Jefferson is a strange enough one to hitch your wagon too. Blind Freddy could tell Oliver was going to be a star from his very first game, so being a Clarry Choo Choo subscriber doesn't hold much water.

It's why I'll be very happy if we can land Langford and Hynes. Both dangerous forward of centre.

I had to google him. Don't remember him as a player.

Nope. We are backing in JVR, Petty, Turner. I'm also hoping we go with the two tall forwards and then the hybrids around them.

Trent?

Yep, or even Hynes and Hotton on top of that top 5 pick. Midfield hopefully sorted for the next decade.

I'd do the first bit and leave it at that mate haha.

Mate, no matter what you say, there'll still be a conga line of cranky Eyores lining up to take a shot at TL.

I'm not sold on Jefferson and I'm not writing him off entirely either. Just thought it was funny given how picket ****cans certain players and then hitches his wagon to some other strange choices.

I count 5 A Rookies, with Hore unsigned.

It's called salary cap room and desperation. 😉

But... but picket said...
