I believe Langford willbe a gun. I would take Tauru over Smillie but I don't think Tigers would.

Will North blink first? I think they do.
They have had a hard on for Tauru for sometime now. They know at pick 2 that’s too early in the draft. So they need to trade. But they would also be mindful he probably doesn’t get past Melbourne’s picks.
So their only option is trade with Adelaide or us.
If they get spooked and pull the trigger on a trade they will take unders. Clubs know this.
They are *smile*.

Dunno why we'd bother drafting K-Mart Tom Green when we'll be getting the real one in a few years.
Yeah, he’s competitive and has a touch of class and smart donkey to him.
You mean the veuve version of Tom GreenDunno why we'd bother drafting K-Mart Tom Green when we'll be getting the real one in a few years.
Fair call - what do you like about Harrison Oliver?
Favourites - Lalor, Jagga, Smillie, Travaglia, Berry, Hotton, Dattoli, any of Shanahan, Armstrong, J.Whitlock, Sims
We aren’t saying anything. Blair is annoying the *smile* out of all the pundits

Oliver - SNAPSHOT: “One of the most well regarded ball users in the draft, boasting a wand-like left foot and the ticker to take gutsy overhead marks.” – Michael Alvaro
Harrison Oliver put his name in lights on the representative stage this year. The highly touted defender broke through for a massive performance in his Vic Metro Under 18 debut, amassing 25 disposals, six marks, and five rebound 50s against the Allies. He defied the wet conditions on that day, and was not forgotten thereafter, for a high-class outing.
While he had his big moment in the 2024 National Championships, Oliver has been a staple of representative sides throughout his junior career. He was selected in the Under 12 and 15 School Sport Victoria (SSV) squads, before turning out for Vic Metro in the 2022 Under 16 championships and making his debut for Sandringham in the same year. A place in Metro’s Under 18 squad was almost inevitable.
Oliver has proven to be a serial winner across his top-age campaign. He played alongside a host of Sandringham teammates as Brighton Grammar took out the APS title, and went on to help the Dragons win a third consecutive Coates Talent League flag. In terms of individual honours, he was named in the Talent League Team of the Year and earned All Australian selection.
The 181cm prospect is equal parts courageous and classy. He is a Melbourne supporter, but looks to emulate fellow left-footer Luke Hodge with his intercept marking, run, and leadership across half-back. 2023 Sandringham graduate and current Bomber Archie Roberts is another player Oliver draws inspiration from in terms of his role.
So if we take Lalor as anticipated, what are the chances that Dusty is on stage presenting him with his jumper?
