Sounds like the ol' "hide the player we want in the goal square to make him look a dud" positioning.Smillie Vanilli 10 disposals for Eastern yesterday. Stood in the goal square quite a lot apparently.

Melbourne would be pissed. They developed Mac Andrew under their NGA and lost access to him when he ended up a top 10 pick.
To my eyes Smillie looks too slow with not enough agility, could end up getting caught heaps.Avid draft watchers, please give me your well researched opinion on Smilie. Done some of own video homework and he could be anything. The tall midfielder we’ve never had. Looks a decent kick. What’s he doing wrong to fall off the charts? Like I said, a recruiting mate had him as his top pick 2 months ago.
Correct.Cannot and must not take any risks unless the club has done a mountain of analysis work pre injury, I’d be leaving Hotton to a club that can afford a blind swing. We can’t.
Gun.Sid Draper 26 touches ,1 gl.playing 4 west Adelaide in Sanfl,round 16 ,his side winning by 3 goals.
I dont exactly read it that way myself. Last year we had a top 10 that eventually became a top 11, and then there was something of a cliff like drop off in talent after that.
Its not the same case this year. We have a large and deep top group. I have 4 in my "tier 1" group.
1. Sid Draper
2. Jagga Smith
3. Josh Smillie
4. Finn O'Sullivan
And then there's very little drop off at all to a "tier 1.5" kind of group with Levi, Lalor, Trainor, Lombard, Langford, Lindsay, Reid, Allan, Hotton, Travaglia.
And even after that its not much of a gap to guys like Kako, Armstrong, Berry.
To my eyes, this draft is flat and SUPER deep. I think the best strategy for the Tigers is to get as many swings at it inside the top 15ish as possible.
Injured or tanking?Smillie Vanilli 10 disposals for Eastern yesterday. Stood in the goal square quite a lot apparently.
Yeah it is. We have that situation ourselves with Andrew Walker's son. He's in our NGA zoneMac Andrew was asked if he would have still been playing Aussie Rules if not for the NGA, he said yeah he has grown up with the game and had been playing it since he was 4 years of Age.
NGA is a rort in the main IMO opinion, what about Father Son's that qualify for both FS or for another club's NGA, it is a joke.
we're that much on the nose Smillie & FOS are tanking?Injured or tanking?
Neither. Between Coates and school football, has played too much. Semi-rested by ER.Injured or tanking?
has already declared he wants to go to the Brown paper bags (sauce: Cartoon supporter)Yeah it is. We have that situation ourselves with Andrew Walker's son. He's in our NGA zone
Got to admit have barely seen Fos and after watching his highlights today, he's a ridiculous talent,definitely most talented kid and although jagga will be a a A grade mid and Sid Draper excellent also with burst pace just enough to get out of traffic, if I was projecting who has the most talent,this kid Finn brought back memories of ridiculous talent like Robbie flower and garry Wilson.jaggies agility and tank will be very similar.
Its a really tough choice
