I was really against trading up in this yrs draft.
But if WC or North want pick 10 and 18
We should do it.
Then we will have 1, 2 and 6

FOS is my man, has everything 8th Agility, 1st and 2nd in running vertical leap, sub 3sec 20m sprint added to football brain and leadership I would be staggered if we don't call him at pick 1
Yeah I've liked him from the start. Nothing from his testing has changed that for me. He's still my number 1. He and Jagga would be an ideal pairing.
Simply must go 1. When the majority of other players say it, you should listen. Shown elite qualities in Coates League, showed elite traits in VFL game, great aerobic testing and acknowledged as having outstanding leadership qualities
Nah. Still love him Bungle Beetle.
Softford stopped debating him with me, so haven't had a reason to bring him up.
Kako - Meh. Not with you.
He has heaps going for him Julius. Like you say.
Not sure football brain is one. Doesn't really know when and where to run to keep involved in the game. He gets by more on individual brilliance ATM.
It's an area he can hopefully learn in AFL with good mentors. But knowing how to link-up in play i.e. football brain isn't a strength ILO.
Compare that to say a Jagga he is a way off in that area.
First you tried to steal Shai from me, now you're claiming MY man FOS is your man?! This won't stand!
It's a bit easier for Jagga to link up when the bloke he gave it to is within spitting distance.

You reckon FoS doesn't have a bit to learn on how to get more involved in general play?Is it currently a strength?
I stole Shai from nobody, to be fair my first live watch of FOS was at the VFL and I saw traits that was all that I needed to see but no doubt you were on FOS well before me.Nah, I'm just having fun with you Jaggastans.
Is it currently a strength?
Bloody oath you didn't steal Shai from me! I let you share!
Fair point, in the games i saw FOS was the more outwardly spoken leader as in directing team mates where to position themselves goes but Jagga has an equally if not greater leadership but under stated resume. FOS has superior aerial strength which is where the Heeney comparison sets in.
I won't argue against Jagga just plug for FOS.
i think FOS is a natural footballer and does not rely on brilliance alone but getting more of the pill will be a projection that recruiters will have to make.
Just in relation to the agility test FOS's 8th place 8.14 seconds would have placed him 1st in the 2023 agility test.
Combine results are far from the be all and end all, interesting to note Kane Mcauliffe recorded a 20m sprint time of 2,93 sec and a running verticle leap of 95cm both better than FOS but I have seen no signs of this in Kane's career to date although he still looks promising as a player.

Pretty sure I've heard, read n even said this same sort of stuff for at least the last 3 months here on PRE. Isn't it great to know the meedjia just constantly trawls through the fan forums n then gets paid to feed the fans their own product back.
Poor old meedjia flogs are gunna b tripping over themselves trying to get this one right. No idea how the kids surname is pronounced, but what the *smile* were his parents thinking when they named him. Is it Jack O. Jack Ow. Or Jack Off. Some parents simply need a seriously large foot up their arse. Poor kid would have been absolutely slaughtered growing up old school, he'd have needed a leathery hide n big knuckles to get by just around his local area. Now it's all done on the net, ya can't get rid of it n it goes world wide in 30 seconds flat.
Wasn't the beep the original test? Then they had the yo - yo which I thought they were still doing. Is that agility thing the one where they run a slalom between the little flags like the skiers do at the winter Olympics?
Maybe we should make the kids do their agility test down the side of a mountain, that'd sort a few of them out n be good for a laugh when they stumble n get the downhill roly poly happening.
