I think we need to tread with some caution, three of our best players have just walked, putting all the eggs in the Cadman basket is risky. We also need 2 forwards and perhaps some depth.May mean we are confident in getting Cadman.
You've been at the coalface a bit, has Jagga ever put in a stinker? Looking at the stats I can't see any blips.Bloody hell that was an impressive interview with Jags. Super smart kid. Really thinks about his football, you can tell.
FOS and Jags still 1-2 for me.
There's one key difference Scoop, Petracca had already made the step from medium forward to midfield powerhouse. I'd say Lalor is a bit behind in development, I know he's a mid by trade but running 15 km a match isn't something which magically occurs.It reads Christian Petracca like in his development once drafted. But there is a risk. The Dusty vibes, I don't see as much.
Dusty thought defence is the thing that goes around depaddock.Lalor also has a good defensive side to his game. Dusty never really bothered with that so much.
Harvey Langford at pick 6 would be a great result, I would welcome a player who really wants to play for Richmond. These types are invaluable in the early stages of a rebuild.View attachment 24809
Harvey Langford's endurance and goal kicking ability is equal to any midfielder in this draft.
I love FOS and Lalor is a beast, however Harvey is sound as a bell and I really want him at the Tigers.
Imagine the melts from Karen Cornes.lolThat is a powerhouse trade, Blair has a great record but that would be a contender for one of his greatest hits.
Not that I've seen. About the "worst" I've seen was his game in the VFL against Williamstown at Willie. He had 30 disposals so people will say that's great, but a lot of them were a bit meaningless (which I acknowledge is a bit of a criticism some have of him).You've been at the coalface a bit, has Jagga ever put in a stinker?

Thats is true but i like Bauer as a 24 goal 3rd Banna along with Faucett who is untapped talent.I think we need to tread with some caution, three of our best players have just walked, putting all the eggs in the Cadman basket is risky. We also need 2 forwards and perhaps some depth.
My son and I watched one game with FOS and Jagga. the first final of Coates league. Jagga is the same all day see ball get ball distribute ball.You've been at the coalface a bit, has Jagga ever put in a stinker? Looking at the stats I can't see any blips.
Setting up ourselves nicely for the Hit on Reid.Twomey says we are very interested in Bo Allan and Armstrong is of interest as well.
It will be Jagga.If we take Lalor I really hope we can still land Jagga. He's plug and play and will captain a side one day.
Except when Dangerflog was around.Dusty went the xtra yard.Lalor also has a good defensive side to his game. Dusty never really bothered with that so much.
I don't disgree entirely but I reckon the no preseason (cricket focused) underlines the potential of what he can do.There's one key difference Scoop, Petracca had already made the step from medium forward to midfield powerhouse.

Petracca took a whilst to develop because he was lazy and subsequently overweight for the first few seasons. So much so that he was probably gettable if another club wanted him bad enough. And then the penny dropped and he got serious.I don't disgree entirely but I reckon the no preseason (cricket focused) underlines the potential of what he can do.
Not testing at the combine leaves question marks. If we traded up to 1 and 2, I think I'd take Lalor and Jagga.
I want one true mid and one mid/forward weapon. Wouldn't draft FOS and Lalor together as the injury risk is too high.
Dusty was somewhat fanatical about football from a young age. Lalor has been around professional sport for a few years and his fitness is an issue? That would be somewhat of a concern to me.Petracca took a whilst to develop because he was lazy and subsequently overweight for the first few seasons. So much so that he was probably gettable if another club wanted him bad enough. And then the penny dropped and he got serious.
Will depend how badly Lalor wants to work as to how quickly he can develop a tank. The best players are always the ones with a fanatical desire to improve. Dusty a point in case.
