I reckon O'Sullivan has a better leap than Deledio, he's closer to Heeney.

by all reports he'll never be a kpf, it looks like he'll have to be mid or bust.
Tauru only beat him by a centimetre in running vertical jump. Neither placed in the top 10 in the standing vertical jump.
The mighty Tauru, 192cm but still could make it as a key defender, could be an even bigger weapon if he grows.
Funnily enough the standing vertical jump was the only category he finished top 10 in at the combine. (7th/71cm)
My point was we want 2 and 6 to ensure we get 3 of the best 5 midfielders in this draft available to us.
Definitely want Lalor and FoS.
But also want 6…
The rest is just hypothetical fun…
trying to work how they achieve pick 2…
But sure…
No assurances that FoS is going to be worth pick 10,18 and 20 for 2… in my example (nb. Not the actual deal)……
but if rumours are true…..
Carlton gave 12,14 and bag of chips Owies for pick 3 to allegedly get FoS mind you…
Everyone thought Wet Coke were crazy….
Not Cartoon. Admittedly they have a better list with less immediate needs.
Just as there are no assurances that these players picked - in your example (Shanahan,Travaglia,Whitlock) won’t be total spuds…. The point of spreading risk I get but could be Pattison, Polo and Meyer too…
Unlikely I admit…
My view was and still is, in our hypothetical imaginary PRE playground of fantasy trades, that we want to pair Lalor and FoS plus keep pick 6….. whilst satisfying North who want a certain player….
In this case …
Ending up with 1,2,6,11,23,24….
Potentially Lalor,Fos,Langford and still getting Travaglia, Shanahan and one Whitlock….
Bit of fun.
Thanks for the feedback and information.
Loving the 2024 thread.

I haven't lost all hope for Samson yet. He actually played a couple of pretty good games in a row in 2023 when Nanks was injured and he played primary ruck. But we've spent alot of time when Nanks is playing turning him into a key forward. Has only played 23 games. Needs a decent stint in the ruck and it's time Nanks gave ua bit of ruck time for the cause I think.
So much upside in Hotton, I know he's coming off an ACL but I'd be happy to grab him.
The slider who Matthew Lloyd believes could be the best player in the draft
Matthew Lloyd believes one draft slider could land up being the best player out of this year’s crop.Sandringham Dragons’ mid-forward Taj Hotton tore his ACL earlier in the year, which is expected to see him slide down the order.
But Lloyd says Hotton, who he coaches at Haileybury, could be the best player out of this year’s draft.
“One to watch is Taj Hotton,” Lloyd said on Wide World of Sports.
“He is from Haileybury and did his ACL mid-season, but I think he’s a top five draft pick.
“Whoever selects him could may well get the best player in the draft.”

He gets air, SD. He's not a brilliant catch but he's 195 and 100kg. He can get in the way. There won't be many who mark it from behind him. He doesn't have to catch it. I think he'll be a force behind the ball if it comes to that. Not to say he can't make a pack buster mid.
A lot of PREnders or PREsians if one prefers Bret chips (I blame that toff Mark Lee) are coming around to the idea that Donut is the duck's nuts.
I'd go so far as to say that Donut devotees have been quietly enjoying chips of all classes with immunity during the great Jaggitis epidemic of 2024.
Of course it's too soon to celebrate. Even with the taste of freedom so near. But we all know how just a little avatar change can make a huge difference.
Let's bring it home, citizens. (Lowers voice in tone and in volume) Cousins.
Donut for freedom. Donut for #1.

I don’t know about better than Lids but this is my favourite FOS attribute, the ability to get inside to outside.
It’s about Chad Warner like. The mix with Jagga is perfect.
We are savagely forgetting the athlete Deledio was. Close to the best physically build and profile I’ve seen on a midfielder.
Adelaide at 4 or Melbourne at 5. Dees like Smith or Langford is my mail from someone at another club.
