Robert Harvey was a great player,he had a great individual career ,plenty of awards and use to pick up plenty of possessions ,with his dinky possessions.
One thing he didn't get was a premiership.

I think it would be the opposite.
the top 30 picks are pretty no brainers. you just take the one thats on your board when its your pick.
and then go to work finding Adam Goodes in the 4th round
Its the inevitable downside of having pick one. Rationally we all know we'll get a great player, but no guarantees that they are the best player in the draft due to a lack of crystal balls, but irrationally, we will accept nothing less than Dusty 2.0........... meanwhile, Jagga just keeps getting BOG, playing fit.
its like the world best looking supermodel asks PRE out on a date,
and PRE looks around the room, going
'see that woman? lose a stone and a bit of lippy, and she could be better looking'
The knocks on Smith by some are grossly overstated, and his strengths are undervalued. The VM v VC game proved that, and he's just continued to prove his bona fides ever since.
Who ever we pick out of fos and jag will be compared to the other forever. Probably better if we had pick 2 in hindsight and avoided the spoon........... meanwhile, Jagga just keeps getting BOG, playing fit.

Ah ok ,,Hannaford and Anderson would be a great combo in the forward line,,plenty of pressure.
My point is I hope we don't burn most of our mid/later picks to climb up the boards and potentially miss on some later talent. Coz we need to find half a list of talent, not just a handful.
I agree, but think 7-8 picks inside 35 will yeild 2 champs and 4 very good players.
Im not aware of the '25 draft crop, but hear its got nothing on this lot.
So may as well load up
As an aside, and while were doing bizarre logic,
Id rather win the spoon with sportsmen footballers than the flag with cynical head ducking midgets who conspiring with the umps in ruining the game
Good call the Heeney comparison whoever made it, yesterday we got to see the marking side of his game, FOS had 8 in all and i would suggest about 4 or 5 were contested this included an unsuccessful outrageous and courageous fly into the pack from the side where he did get hands to the ball.

Naw not coping Robert Harvey slander, genuine second tier superstar. If your saying Jagga will be a 8 time All Australian where do I sign up?
Depend if jagga and joeberry are in the 8/30 or the 4/15 lucky dip bucket for me
But i obviously take jagga at 1 and joeberry at freo's 9,
So i can have it both ways
Its the blokes who are getting cute with pick 1 that are gonna tie themselves in knots
And possibly end up with a minature plastic spudgun
Not really sure of your point. Harvey's a great player but was a selfish dinky kicker and that's why he has no flags?
So Flower and Buckley are "failures" also? What were there issues?
My point is Jagga is similar to Harvey in getting high possessions ,but a lot are dinky ones ,,player's like that don't get you premierships ,they get individual awards.
Richo couldn't kick over a jam jar and double grabbed everything ands slow and had no tank
