If the umps actually watched Longmire, they'd have paid about 10 frees against him so far, hands around at every stoppage, doesn't matter if its Jagga, McAuliffe or Sonsie, he's been all over them before the balls even in their vicinity.

Doing ok Jags but as a few people have raised before, a lot of his possessions are short and sideways. Handball dominant. Odd kick hasn't been anything special. Not sure how much damage or impact he has. He looks one-paced for mine too.

There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
Which is why I want to see him on a dry track. Draper's burst from stoppages is elite. Hurt factor.
It seems to be,
Do we want Lachie Neale (jagga)
Or
Do we want a version of Danger(Drapper)
But it's harder to find a burst player like Draper and not likely to play regularly as well as jagga.
I’d be fully committed to this idea if Sonsie hadn’t have had his 25d 2 goal game for Box Hill.
Love the look of Jagga but junior prodigy Sons has got me spooked.
In defence of jagga the conditions are going to give u much less time to dispose of the ball with extra congestion.
he is definitely not one paced,
but yes, today, disposal looks more will Ashcroft than nick daicos
it is shithouse conditions, and he is getting a pretty hard tag from a crude spud who isn't the slightest interested in the ball at stoppages.
Id probably call Drapers name out first right now, but maybe not in an hour
We (should) want Cotchin (FOS)
Jagga's ball use has been putrid in this game. Up and under 25-metre kicks.
I'm along the same thinking but wouldn't be disappointed to land jagga.he is definitely not one paced,
but yes, today, disposal looks more will Ashcroft than nick daicos

Maybe pick 2 ,even 3 if north go tall would be better as ,decision made for us.

Except I'd compare Draper's centre clearances to Bolton rather than Danger.
If were gonna cut star FOS slack for a 5 disposal game ,
We gotta provide star Jagga some slack for some uninspiring ball use
FOS can get more ball. Jagga's skills are what they are. Average kick with no penetration. How many pointless 8-metre dinks does he do?
I addressed metres gained in his last champs game, where he bested rioli and short and whitfield.
Today is an anomoly, which happens.
Lombard had 11 disposals last vfl game.
Bo allan had 2 CP at this level yesterday and hes pegged as high as no.4
Even No1's are still kids prone to inconsistency.
But jagga is gonna dominate stoppage at ever level, which is rare
Ideally, jagga slides as anthony miles,
And we get draper or fos at 1 and jagga at 7
Pretty unlikely though.
He is the most prolific ball winner since Daicos and Sheezel

You know my disdain for meres gained. Even more so if you're aiming for it. When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be useful.
He's had 2 clearances. Sonsie's had 10.
Daicos and Sheezel are elite ball users. Jagga is most definitely not.
I'm ok with your ideal situation. (Provided it's FOS.) Reckon FOS and one of Lalor, Langford or Allan might be a better combo.
