Number 1 pick - Who would you choose?
« on: September 19, 2024, 01:47:47 PM »
For me its Jagga all the way - will be a 200 gamer

Number 1 pick should be about certainty not risk in my opinion.

Think I want Langford or Smillie.

Can't help it.

Unless they're a Neale or Serong etc I'm much less interested in the shorties.

Would prefer a Cripps/Bont size.

Haha Slowford - yeah let's finally get rid of Graham only to use pick 1 on a taller version of him.... :help

Smillie's too much of a boom or bust - won't be a Bont or Cripps IMO but could be anything from another Tom Green to another Ely Smith.... and we'll be getting the real Tom Green in a few years anyway... :shh

FOS or Lalor are the correct answers. :shh :shh

How slow is he?

How do his combine results stack up?

Won't know until he does it....but his lack of speed & agilty have been noted by many others not just me..disposal is hit & miss too (like Cotchin -either very good or horrid) and doesn't look one touch..he looks about half a yard quicker than Graham & is obviously much taller - some might argue that if Graham was half a yard quicker &  taller he'd be a very good player, which Langford will be (both he & Graham are Larke Medalists btw)- just not Top 5 good IMO....blokes like him & Smillie you'd take in a heart beat with our 4th pick - which will likely still be in the teens but not our first 3 which will likely be top 10....if our midfield wasn't already so slow then maybe you would take him higher....I also like Reid -joint Larke Medalist with Langford- who has elite disposal and decision making and isn't quick either (and somewhat shorter than Langford)but I'd take him with our 3rd or 4th pick...reminds me a bit of Eroll Gulden... :shh

The combine will lock in our selections.

Jagga will test well but his interview will get him over the line for Pick 1. Next Captain.

Smith will win a lot of individual awards - which will be nice for him at least.... :shh

Think Jagga is a safe bet and will be a nice footballer.

When we revisit this draft in 10 years time and he’s still in the top 5 - that’s a win .

I have heard opinions that Finn O Sullivan has greater upside- hopefully we can get both

As with most drafts it’s near impossible to know. For me it’s between jagga and fos. Langford is a late bloomer who could develop into a really damaging player, much the same for Lalor. Any of those 4 could win brownlows imo.

Still have Draper, Ashcroft, Smillie ( who seems to have fallen out of favour for many) and Reid too.

Think they’ll go Jagga as the safe bet at 1. Even if he doesn’t end up being the best player of the draft, which pick 1s very rarely end up being, he seems to have all the makings of a very very good 200+ gamer (injuries permitting).

Just don’t think they’ll risk pick 1 on someone they are hoping can reach a higher ceiling. We’ll have another 3-5 first round picks for them to make riskier selections.

Jagga is a Darcy Parish clone.  Heaps of possessions but not effective.  FOS every day of the week and then some.  The player most likely to be a match winner of all the projected early picks

Bit of a stupidity trend here what's this meant to mean? Along with Slowford, have to call out some dumb comments Dio.

Agree. Get pick 3 and take FOS, Draper whoever is available.

Jagga will be better than parish imo, but also I think parish could’ve been a star had he been drafted to a better club.

Jagga is closer to daicos than parish imo.
