if this is the case, we need pick 2 to have another young gun teaming up with him

Be ironic if we manage to get 1/2 & 6.
Snag all 3 "VFL" boys.
Fos/Jagga and Langford.
Great Planning that far out.
Thats my ideal scenario - we get pick 2 keep 6 and end up with these 3 players
Think that’s been answered ad nauseam.
Cricket and injuries.
Nowhere to hide in a professional environment. It will be sink or swim.
He's chosen footy, so I'd say he's ready.
That Foxfooty article was a good read if you haven't taken the time yet. Probably been a little bit of a coaster due to lack of time to change and because of his natural talents. Seems like he's eager to succeed though. Hungry? Not for donuts.

North will take the Viking at 2 and a big chance Melbourne will take Armstrong at 5. Adelaide rumoured to be undecided on Draper or Langford. Carlton will take FOS.
Smith is a good chance to be around at 6 but will we take him if he is?
I think RFC is getting some concrete information on who's taking whom.
Initially I was thinking that RFC wanted Lalor, FOS, maybe Langford. I'm pretty confident that we are hooked on three players. Lalor, FOS and player X and have been for some time. I think player X is Smillie.
Once RFC establishes that Player X will get through to #6 we don't have to trade for #2. We're getting two of our three just by keeping our cards.
Say we know Allan will be there at 10/11 and we are getting intel that Taylor and SOS are not taking Armstrong. If so we'd be talking to/about them if we are interested. And Twomey would get word. @Redford has posted above that Twomey does have word.
RFC takes Lalor, Player X (say Smillie), Armstrong, Allan. Not a bad haul. And so we sweat NMFC. 10+18 is all we have to offer. Maybe 10+24.
If we knew Player X was going to Melbourne at #5 I think we'd hit harder at #2. Maybe we will.
Picks 5-10 are starting to get out.

Doubt it was so much laziness in Peetracca's early days. Most of the youngsters take a year or 3 to firstly fully understand the requirements of professional athlete fitness and the dietry regimens that coincide. Also takes that few years for the body to physically mature to the requirements as well. Didn't Peetracca also break a big toe or something in one of his early summers messing around n playing some social or suburban soccer comp in his spare time?
Interesting, scuttlebutt, Sin. I have only been able to link Adelaide to Smith to date. Langford and Draper, eh. Logical types. If Ogilvie doesn't take Smith it raises the big question as you point out. It's the elephant in the room.
Who's linking Armstrong to Taylor? Is there mail or scuttlebutt? I can't get anything. Lindsay and Reid are names floating around at 5, 7-9.
May be we could get the main ones we want @ #1 to play a game of Rock Paper Scissors. Get it televised like a paid Main Event on Fox
Takes the decision out of our hands and the bonus is the last one standing is a proven winner
Nice work by Blair putting the word out about Allan. Tasty F2 forthcoming from West Coast to slide back one place?
Tell you what, you're like Hercule Poirot the last 4 weeks. Or something out of Cluedo. Mr Taylor with a pick 9 Armstrong in the kitchen. Or Mr Ogilvie with a Smith in the bathroom. Or could it be Mr Rawlings with a trade down in the study ?
Id start Lalor with 44 and he can work his way down to 4Let’s not put any pressure on the kid. Pick him at number 1 and give him number 4
Hard to see how he isn't in a leadership group by 22. Sounds like he has already played a 100 games. Hard to remember a better spoken kid combined with a better resume. Again, not sure I've seen a safer 200 gamer.
