Lalors not going to be a full time mid. Smilie’s no guarantee and McAuliffe can’t string more than 2 games together without picking up an injury. You’re not wrong that we need pace and class, I’m saying we haven’t ticked off the hopper/tarranto/prestia replacements yet. We’d be silly to think we have.
Unfortunately we are stuck with Hopper and Taranto, any mid we draft won’t be in place of them but in addition to them. Teams Dont desire them and we won’t be dropping them

The game is moving past inside pigs. Certainly for primo picks. Brisbane and Adelaide don't really have one. Collingwood's is Ned Long, Geelong's is Tom Atkins. The game now is about getting the ball to the outside and using it.
Brisbane have one in Dunkley but he has fully committed to being team first and doing all of the defensive stuff, and Adelaide have Berry playing a similar role
 
Smillie, Lalor, Hotton and McAuliffe. In time.


Strong disagree there, Spewy Chewy.


His size is not a risk.


More than that. He'll be a mid.


He's 20.


I just told you!


He's not. Mainly because he'll almost certainly be gone.
I love your positivity but you're banking on every pick there being a winner and the coaches doing a 180 on what they've stated the plans for Lalor and Hottons forward/midfield mix will be.
Smilie has spent the year either injured or "conditioning" and his bodies not a risk? Not at all?
McAullife is the closest we've got to a genuine ball winning midfielder but you'd be mental to pin all your hopes on him.

That's it currently unless you include Dow and Sonsie...

Need some genuine contested ball winners as well as speed and outside class. That's all I'm saying.
 
Quality comes in a number of forms, and is not linear in the draft due to exposed form and risk. Take Farrow, some strong afl traits, kicking, speed, power, size, but until recently hasn’t had a lot of exposed form. I rate him, but riskier than some. In power ratings he’s early teens to 25 odd. Grlj, NHH, Dovaston similar varied rankings.
I’m totally on board with high quality…speed and class and competitiveness. Could you get 2 for 1 in this draft???

Poor souls

Still dreaming about Hayley coming to Richmond
Play powerball kids there is more chance
Nothing sorted yet.

Would you really be disappointed if we signed him on a 2 year contract for say $1.7m/year with the option to extend at $2m-$2.2m/year?

Just for the cost of 2 nothing picks this year.
