Yes

I'm on the worried side

Did Sam Lalor test or was he unable to with his hip issue?

 

[richoatthedisco]

Yeah but that's just draft rankings. Langford is playing for Richmond VFL this weekend if he plays well with his skills and height I wouldn't be shocked if they went him over Jagga

We're going FOS over either.

It surprises me that Cal continues to be so bullish about him given those numbers

Someone must be talking him up. I think Langford has recruiters split - some have him very high, some really don't.

Why do you think the Tigers are taking FOS?

'Form' doing some heavy lifting

 

[Souup]

Did Sam Lalor test or was he unable to with his hip issue?

Yeah he didn't test last year or this year.

 

[eaglespremiers]

Yeah he didn't test last year or this year.

Would be interested in Tobie Travaglia and James Barrat's numbers if you have them.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Would be interested in Tobie Travaglia and James Barrat's numbers if you have them.

Yes Tobie and Joe Berry for me as well

 

[eaglespremiers]

Yes Tobie and Joe Berry for me as well

Spoke to Tobie last week after the game.
He's going to try to top the 2km time trial at the Combine.
Wouldn't surprise me if he did, his endurance is elite.

 

[nut]

Will Richmond go for Jagga Smith, having got first-hand exposure to him through their VFL team?

Are you really trying to ask if we will bid on Ashcroft?

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Are you really trying to ask if we will bid on Ashcroft?

No. Is reading difficult for you? That was also written two weeks ago, before Ashcroft's VFL game.

 

[Souup]

Would be interested in Tobie Travaglia and James Barrat's numbers if you have them.

Did Armstrong test?

Preview - 2024 National Draft Preview Thread

Could Trainor pinch hit as a taller midfielder? Looks like he'd be comfortable almost anywhere on the ground. Yeah I actually think he could. For example, 3:25 from this clip stood out to me from the final champs game: The clean pick-up, composure, lateral step, and finally decision making...

Lalor 91.2kg
Armstrong 84.1
Trainor 90.6
Warburton 79.4
Smillie 95.2

Thank you.

Trainor seems so thin for 90 odd (perhaps it's the Gunston and Birchall body shape) while 91 and 95 are to be expected of Lalor and Smillie.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Also, all the Souup for you sir.

 

[Shai]

Finally got around to watching the NAB Champs finale.

I don't always go for the obvious, everyone can see the potential there, impressed with -

Harry Armstrong (Sandringham Dragons) Key Forward | 195cm | 14/06/2006
Can see a lot of scope in an AFL environment

Luke Trainor (Sandringham Dragons)
Key Defender | 194cm | 10/04/2006
Liked his follow up

Xavier Lindsay (Gippsland Power)
Midfielder | 183cm | 03/08/2006
Was in everything and kept giving

Tobie Travaglia (Bendigo Pioneers)
Defender | 187cm | 26/10/2006
Reads the play well

Sam Lalor (GWV Rebels)
Midfielder/Forward | 187cm | 30/08/2006

Jack Whitlock (Murray Bushrangers)
Key Forward/Ruck | 200cm | 16/05/2006

Harvey Langford (Dandenong Stingrays)
Midfielder | 190cm | 15/03/2006

Matt Whitlock (Murray Bushrangers)
Key Defender | 199cm | 16/05/2006

Rhys Unwin
Midfielder/Forward | 178cm | 11/10/2006

Lucca Grego
Thomas Sims
Jagga Smith
Alixzander Tauru

With the dees now not needing to part 6 or 7 for Houston i think the players of Draper, Smillie, Langford Lalor will all be around the mark.

Can't lose with any 4 of them if they got through to the Dess.

Would love it if the dees can get above the suns somehow (if tigers got their first for Rioli). A FOS & Lalor combo would be delicious.

Would you think Armstrong might be in range for Dees first?

TOP DRAFTEE SET TO MAKE DECISION​

SOUTH Australian draft prospect Alex Dodson is set to choose pursuing a football career over basketball.

The talented dual sportsman has juggled both sports in his junior career, having been a member of the state junior basketball program at the under-18 championships last year and training with Adelaide's NBL club the 36ers.

The 203cm prospect has also represented Australia's under-18 team in basketball.

However, Dodson is expected to pursue a football career and shapes as a potential top-20 selection in this year's draft as the leading ruck prospect. Dodson will test at the Telstra AFL Draft Combine in October and clubs anticipate him to be nominating for the draft in November.

He starred at the under-18 carnival for South Australia and won All-Australian honours as the best ruckman in the championships and has taken that form back to Sturt's under-18 side.

He had 32 disposals, 34 hitouts and 10 clearances against Woodville-West Torrens two weeks ago and backed it up with 20 disposals and 32 hitouts last week against Central District.

The 18-year-old's mobility, ball-handling for a ruck prospect and skills have shone this year as he has risen up draft boards and his football call will be a coup for the code. – Callum Twomey

 

[bungalow_bill]

Levi's full stats for the VFL game are pretty incredible.

35 disposals, 14 contested possessions, 11 clearances, eight score involvements, eight marks, six inside 50s, five tackles and a goal.

Hi Souup
Do you have any figures on Zac Johnson ?

 

[TheJackal]

With the dees now not needing to part 6 or 7 for Houston i think the players of Draper, Smillie, Langford Lalor will all be around the mark.

Can't lose with any 4 of them if they got through to the Dess.

It's a huge if, especially if Battle generates the expected band 1 compo. 7 could become 8 and Draper, Smith, Lalor, Trainor, Smillie, Langford and FOS most likely to take the first 7 (not in that order and ignoring players attached to bids).

More likely to see Reid, Tobie, Lindsay, Hotton or one of the tall forwards available there. Could easily be the pick of the draft there, but more likely the pick will be just outside of that upper echelon.

St kilda please!

A chance for Adelaide's second rounder that we have? Or would he be too speculative will better options available that early?
