Great content gentlemen. For mine, Jagga wins the most possessions, but also has the lowest hurt factor per disposal. Personally, my top 10 would be Langford, Ashcroft, FOS, Draper, Smith, Trainor, Smillie, Lalor, Lombard and Travaglia. I dare say Richmond would be weighing up between Smith, FOS and Langford; Kangaroos would be looking at Smith, FOS, Langford and Trainor given his strong family ties to the club; West Coast would be targeting FOS or Draper; Adelaide would look at Draper, FOS, Langford or Lalor; Brisbane takes Ashcroft; Melbourne would look at who is left out of Smith, Smillie, Langford and Lalor; Richmond using Suns pick would consider who is left out of Smith, Smillie, Langford and Lalor; St Kilda have potentially the next 2 picks depending on what happens with Josh Battle and would be looking at the best remaining midfielder, Travaglia, Berry, Shanahan or Armstrong; Gold Coast to match bid on Lombard. I could almost see a bid on Kako before Essendon's first pick to prevent Essendon getting access to two first round selections. My Phantom 10 at this stage would be 1 - FOS, 2 - Ashcroft, 3 - Trainor, 4 - Draper, 5 - Langford, 6 - Lalor, 7 - Smith, 8 - Lombard, 9 - Smillie, 10 - Berry.
Jagga Smith should go number 1 he has put it all together in his draft year, not saying I would be unhappy with FOS but his injuries do concern me especially when we have had a lot at AFL level. Ideally we would like to get both if we get WCE pick 3 & trade up.
Clearly need to work on your vocabulary there guys....Jagga Smith - Gun.....Thinking too hard, just the first word that enters your minds. For example Jack Ough - Mobile.
@@jackcro2146 Great idea....Few execution & elocution wrinkles to iron out....Think I heard Bull, smooth, graceful & Tank used once in there....they were good descriptions.....But no gun, machine, wrecking-ball, metronome or assorted animal descriptions is hard to overlook....lol.
As good as Jagga is he’s not a rare talent. FOS is so gifted, if his body holds up, he could tangibly change the fortunes of a club in a deep malaise like Richmond is. The tigers will have opportunities to draft players like Jagga but FOSs don’t appear often.
I've been tossing up between FOS, Jagga & Langford for the last couple of months. I feel like Jagga is a 'safe' draft, but FOS is just an elite game changer/winner when he's on the park. Langford is the same, huge body and loves the contest. Not to mention a ripping left foot that drives deep inside 50. All three are so creative, gonna be a tough call.
On the smaller side doesn't help I think. A classy ball user and one of the best below his knees as well, but isn't a natural accumulator like a Jagga who is a similar size. Can understand where the frustration lies, personally I see him in the 5-10 range.
@@craftofthedraft Fair. I think what he is doing in the SANFL as well as his speed, leadership and competitiveness to go along with everything else puts him on the same tier as FOS and Jagga
Jagga for mine - we have some midfield grunt in Taranto, Hopper, Ross and maybe McAuliffe in seasons to come but very few who can be clean with the ball and make good decisions.
Ollie Hannaford is a genuine smallish utility, goes alright as a running small defender, dangerous hard at it smallish pressure forward and has gone OK in his squitys through the midfield, Hard as a cat's head.
As a Richmond Fan this is the Player I hope Richmond select. I see Harvey being a powerful Midfielder in Richmond in time. Would be good to get Harvey Langford , Jagga Smith and Sam Lalor and a tall like Harry Armstrong all at Richmond. It looks like Richmond will have very early picks that is great that some of theses players could get to play together in the same team in there AFL journey. Also like Finn O’Sullivan , Sid Draper , Taj Hotton , Copper Hynes , Murphy Read. , Joe Berry as Players in this Draft. Hopefully this is a good draft in depth ? Its closely even I think some stars will be found in 20’s to 30’s still ? There normally is someone that gets picked in the Draft that in years to come is talked about should have gone earlier than they did ? Being able to handle pressure in big moments with keep there strength’s of their game and take that as a challenge is massive. Speed and Skill is so important at the Top level. But also a player that is always looking to get better at there game with weapons to add to there game and the hunger to learn. All the best to all the Draftees in this Draft it’s a exciting time for them. Hope to see you Harvey at Richmond ? Im look forward to see your game with Richmond VFL this Weekend I enjoyed seeing Smith and O’Sullivan play and now it’s your turn this weekend. 👍
Who are the rejects from other clubs that sides can go for. Especially bottom teams that could turn those rejects into regulars. West Coast Eagles for example or North etc. Will Brodie, Ed Langdon, Devon Roberton. etc
Love your show guys.Now that you have a graphic of the player you are talking about it makes a huge difference in following what & who you are talking about.👍 Keep up the good work.
Thanks heaps Justin. We'd love to have more graphics, but we're quite limited with time and resources with only two of us and with busy schedules, so often it's quite time-consuming, glad you're enjoying though!!
How do you guys project Moraes at AFL level? Do we see him settling mainly at half-forward, or is he good enough to develop into a full-time on baller that can rest forward at times?
The latter in my opinion (Nath), I think he has the capacity to play on the outside to start, might need to develop a bit more size before being predominantly on ball, but half forward was also suit with that offensive prowess.
Has some good moments within games, a good decision-maker in the forward half, and presents well inside 50. Would need to show consistent productivity and put his name forward.
To clarify whilst Bendigo should've beaten Sandringham on the weekend (and the 6-6-6 infringements really hurt their momentum, particularly when they hit the front in the last quarter) it wasn't as if they were playing with their full contingent either. Missing from the team were midfielders Tom Evans, Archie Watt (both first choice), smalls Kaian Constable and Ollie Morris, talls Nick Thompson and Gus Toll and their captain Dayten Uerata. That's almost a third of their best 22 out of the side. And they were less potent forward with Barrat playing back (who was exceptional in the air but subsequently very poor by foot).
What is it with nobodies lazily locking off a camera and thinking people will watch them talking for 45 minutes!? Make it interesting! Give us something to look at.
Well we've done pretty well as nobodies to get you to watch our podcast, so we're doing something right! Our socials are where you will find something to look at!
Hi there, if you are going to do reviews you might want to look a little more closely at the players before making comment - Ollie Poole only got one game opportunity in the championships which was in the last game and if you watched that game you would see that he played as a winger not a half back flanker. He does defend well which may be why you thought he played half back but have a look at the ground covered, how often he was in position up forward and where he lined up at each centre bounce when on the ground...a true wingman who can run.
Certainly a talented player. Apologies for the inconsistencies at times, a lot of players to cover and keep track of so there are times we get things like their position wrong across the game. Certainly noticed his impact defensively and at Bendigo it’s certainly been a standout as well.
