Yeah. Not convinced either. Not as a number 1 pick anyway.
Maybe I can be, but not as of now.
I was at the game today and basically just watched him. On the ball. Off the ball. Everywhere. Thought he had just average influence.

That's where I'm at. At 7, sure. At 1, no.
I'm similar with Draper. He's more dynamic and burst than Jagga but not an elite user either.
Do you see Jagga the equivalent of Reid or Daicos at under 18 level ? I don't. Long way off it I reckon.
From what I can see there is no Reid or Daicos in this draft so I am going by the players available.
I am hearing a lot about FOS, Smilie and Lalor being number 1 picks and better choices than Jagga and Draper but the form line is not there.
Jagga and Draper have both performed against men and consistently rack up big numbers of footy. The other 3 need to show more than what they have so far this year.
that was probably the worst game jagga's played in 3 years;
27d, 3 clearances, 6 score involvements, 8 intercept possessions.
thats his floor.
I 100% get that people of other No.1's,
but talk of him >7 is crazy.
I hope your right tho

Yeah, so why use a number 1 on him then ? Or any of those others either, for that matter.
Personally, the idea of dropping back and generating extra picks and accumulated value, isn't without appeal. Less risk as well.
That’s a different conversation Red.
I was debating who we take at 1.
Splitting pick 1 is definitely worthy of the conversation if there is no clear favourite. But why would you do it for a club that has multiple top 10 picks such as Freo?
It's all part of the convo. If there's that much uncertainty about using 1 on Jagga then de-risk and add accumulated value across a couple of players that appear to be around the same rating instead of tipping all in on one. Strategic.
Agree but right now I can’t see another club do it.
Personally I think it’s a moot point as I don’t think we will end up on the bottom of the ladder.
you have to think hard if they offer 7 and 8 for 1.
GC could get draper and Lombard
we would get one of Lalor/Langford/Reid and Berry
What if it's 8 and 12? One of their picks is linked to the Dogs, who are finals-bound.
Nothing against the kid, and longer term who knows how it would play out. But right now, we need class. Kicking class. Coll running rings around us atm cos we are dumb and can't kick to advantage. We need players who can deliver over 40-50m consistently imho. Take Draper at 1 and FOS falling to 7-8 is a good chance.
