Still like Smillie Reckon he is a player who could carry a whole side on his back bit like The bont or Cripps.
I still like the look of Lalor from a long way out.

Maybe the question should be, how do we get two picks inside the top 5 or 6.

My gut feel is that our profile is a bigger bodied mid but you can't ignore Jagga and his form..been the most consistent outstanding junior. Smillie carnival was just OK.
Go Tigers!

Unperturbed by the rain sheeting in horizontally at stages, on a bitterly cold, windy evening, Smith racked up a game-high 31 disposals, took five marks, had eight clearances and applied three tackles in the Tigers’ 22-point loss.

The Club’s VFL coach Steve Morris was full of praise for Smith, the player, and the person, during a post-match interview with Richmond Media.

“I just love the fact he’s, first and foremost, a wonderful human being,” Morris said.”

“He’s respectful, got lovely manners.

“He’s a real likeable kid and he was really grateful for the opportunity to be here. And the boys really enjoyed having him a part of our group.

“I think we’ve got him for another couple of games and, hopefully, he continues that great form that he started in.”

What's his height and weight? Doesn't look good for size from that shot.

Jagga reminds me of Scully knows when and where to get the ball and get plenty of it but limited hurt factor. (still a quality player)

Of the limited footage of Lalor I have seen he seems more like Michael Voss type of player.

Almost my fav player of all time (non Tiger)

Do you realise how strong Voss was?

Brendan Goddard was smaller and lighter than this. So was Rozzee and Butters

I agree his size concerns me. But he's also an 18 year old kid. Absolute man children like O'Meara and Rowell are exceptions and I honestly believe in time we look back at both Rowell and Jaeger as pick 1s and go they we can easily get a Jai Newcombe for this role.

You pick class and 300 gamers at pick 1. I think Jaeger might be that. I still really like Smillie though as I think he is a 300 gamer too.
Go Tigers!

Don't remember O'Meara ever being huge ...had a decent pair of guns for his size but that was about it....was hardly built like Jack Graham let alone Rowell and still isn't.... :shh

Jaeger like Lids. Lots of gun but smaller in the waist.

Guys like Rowell have it in the hips, glutes and quads, similar to Dusty. Serious power.

From what I can tell, Jagga's upper body is skinny but he doesnt look short.
