Blair said we won't be moving because the draft is so even.
And pick 6 and 10 for pick 2 is a horrendous out come for us.

Bully you a not worried about Langford lack of pace ?. We need midfielders who can break the lines.
Langford was a caught a few times but for the most part was able to create space with some deft footwork, he's not quite at Pendlebury levels but he's not a train tracks player either, the fact he can kick accurately off one step offsets his lack of three step power. He's also a threat up forward, there's an element of big game player who can kick clutch goals. For pick 6 I think there's value to be had.
Back to back picks appeals so strongly to me when other clubs have shown their hands in the first 9 picks. Even draft. I like the idea of going back to back.
Same applies to those early 20's
I also likened him to Van rooyen in their draft year and can see alot of similarities \not sure i would reach at #10 for him though i think he will most likely be #17-#22 range but who knows which team falls in love
But bringing in Gerreyn & Shannahan would be an interesting combination
Gerreyn sure gets a lot of the ball for a player that has no tank. Just a case of being more mobile than the other dinosaurs?
If we do picks 10 and 11 for pick two we lose back to back at 10 and 11 but get back to back at 1 and 2
going back to back helps shape/manipulate the draft, even more so with our hand + if we did go for 1/2 obviously that would supercharge it even further.

He took Windsor at 7 last year, hardly a power athlete. He's switched to kicking skills IMO, Reid and Lindsay both options at Pick 9 to the Dees I reckon, if they don't go tall.
Maybe. They havent had many selections but Tholstrup and Van Rooyen in last couple of years still fit his profile.
Faull has shown some promising glimpses and is trending in the right direction with some excellent late season form, this is a good sign and I noticed a bit of improvement with his contested marking in the Coates final series. He's also capable of a bit of run and carry which I think you need at 194cm. Does he have anymore tricks to unearth? Perhaps, there could be a hint of upside if we're assessing his steady improvement throughout 2024. One to consider if Shanahan & Whitlock get taken early, for team balance I reckon it might be wise to grab one player from the 197+ pool and one player in the 194cm bracket, I'd be happy if we strike gold with one of those selections. The law of averages dictates there will be a few tall busts with this crop, that usually entails buying a few tickets to ensure you get at least one core contributor.
JVR ain't a power athlete either. He's a workhorse. Armstrong's draft year much better than his too.
Has elite agility for an absolute brute.
Reminds me of The Duck in the way he moves and has great footy I.Q.
Scully and Trengove (Melbourne), Rowell and Anderson ( Gold Coast) in recent times.
I'm not sure 1&2 is quite the guaranteed recipe for success.
later back to backs appeal to me as they aren't necessarily best mids or bloody half back (w)ankers as we loved to pick in the past!
To be fair Kreuzer and Cotch would have worked well imo lol
