2024 Draft Thread
- Thread starter Mr T.
- Start date
I don’t watch as much junior footy as many on here and haven’t seen much footage of Smillie, but to me, he looks like a player who has had it too easy playing against Junior’s for too long. Looks like he’s going at a canter.
Could make him a lazy, entitled footballer, or could mean he’s got levels he can go to if pressed.
I didn’t see him doing much that looked like 100% effort. You’d like to see him challenged and find out if he can lift his intensity, show some real power and drive. Cause he’ll need to to be a star in the AFL.

Obviously if he gos to Norf I hope he turns out to be a lazy soft show pony
If we get him I’m hoping it’s composure wammo

Given the dire state of our list, the real question is how will he team up with next year's pick 1 
Don't think I've ever seen a year with so many top end picks polarising so many people - Big Willie Smillie and Mick Jagga most notably.
Lot of divided opinion. In fact 2HB Twomey reckoned the other day that even the clubs differ significantly amongst each other as to who they think should be number 1. He reckoned depending on the club, and excluding Lombardo and Ashcroft, they had either FOS, Smillie, Jagga, Draper and now, even Trainor ranked 1st.
There is no reasonable consensus amongst them at the moment he reckoned.

There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
Is he? He's stationary at most stoppages and slips a handball out rather than taking tackles on.

It may turn out the exception that proves the rule
Or he could just prove the rule?
I maintain its a good indicator. A form franker. But it doesn't happen much so is mostly moot. There is no be all and end all indicator, and I take the Sonz case on board. The vast majority of elite juniors take a while to impact VFL, generally start out single figure possies and build.
Going back to the olden days, and I could be wrong, but I think Knights won the u19s B&F and the reserves B&F in the same year? Before breaking into seniors. That could be legend, I think Benny actually told me that.
Yeah i think not impacting against men early doesnt mean you wont succeed,
But inpacting against men early means you most likely will
who is this bloke who talks of profiles 'dropping' like hes a music producer
Look on the bright side Dudford.
The uncertainty combined with our draft hand combined with our poor team gives us all something interesting to get ourselves into, and to chew the fat over, for the next few months.
Without that - All you'd have is Leysy and @spook tipping winners on the Betting and Thoroughbred Racing threads.
Hello draft thread, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because the success is softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the cups that were planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

has a great set shot run and action.
there's no way anyones calling him Lawler on the streets of bacchus marsh
20d and 8 tackles bottom age Coates league are fantastic numbers!
Im warming!
