Can we add them as cat b’s. I thought you were limited to two?

You are. They probably dont realise we already have O'Connell taking 1 of those spots.

 

[Train12]

but it would be very st kilda

Very true!
I just recon north and Melbourne, or one of them draft a forward.
They don’t need midfielders
Melbourne haven’t had a good forward for years

 

[stavro#4]

Herald Sun running with (an already known) a very strong link of Tauru to North.

So that’s one slider.

Murphy Reid very much in the frame at the Demons.

So we should get 2 of the top 6 mids probably Langford and Smilie

 

[Sarcoidevo]

All midfielders to be selected before our pick would be very unlikely..

I wouldn't put the house on it

Reid to the dees just makes so much sense when you consider how heavy they are on contested mids.

Can you provide link to the whole article?

Dees will plenty of choices for a forward at pick 9 unless they want Tauru at pick 5 ahead of North if North slide to pick 6

If North slide to pick 6 and say Tigers go up to pick 2 then you would think that would give us our best chance for one of those highly rated mids to slide to us ..... given North are likely dropping back to chose a KPP

If Dees take say Tauru ahead of North which then forces North to go different KPP then we get 2 gun mids sliding

If North stay at 2 then the feeling is they just go best available which would be a mid and then Dees at 5 also go a mid and then a KPP at 9

Not complicated at all

But how long do Oliver & Petracca stay at Melbourne?

If Dees go Reid a few on here will be popping champagne

 

[Sarcoidevo]

So we should get 2 of the top 6 mids probably Langford and Smilie

But do we go these 2 heavy big contested mids or only one + a smaller quicker mid like Lindsay or a HB runner probable mid like Travaglia?

North has to trade-down. Surely.

Massive reach to take Tauru at 2.

Richmond’s pick 6 or St Kilda’s pick 8 should get it done, with an assurance from both clubs that whoever they trade with won’t draft Tauru.

Melbourne would be the only danger at pick 5.

100% big mids

 

[Significant]

100% big mids

I'm all in as well as best result. Langford and Smillie could be the two inside mids you build your club around. Petracca and Oliver. Dangerfield and Selwood. Bont and Libba. Rowell and Anderson. Butters and Rozee.

 

[akaifu]

If we take Smillie at 7 and Langford is available at 8, surely we do something like 8+32 for Richmond's 10/11 + 2x20s pick/F2? Then take Travaglia/Lindsay at pick 11 while Richmond can take Langford

Might be able to get even more if they are desperate

I actually don't mind Reid as our pick at 8. Yes he is similar to Clark but there's something about him being 'too small', 'not athletic' 'too slow' etc etc and yet still able to dominate games with his footy iq and game sense reminds me of the draft profile of a young Tom Brady. Yes I know completley different sport but that underdog mentality.

Reid is nothing like Hunter Clark.

Absolutely lazy link from this board.

He has 1000% more attacking nous

Calling it now ultimate nuff mode: Murphy Reid is the Tom Brady of 2024 draft class

If Tauru isn’t taken before our pick 7, I’d draft best available mid at 7 and Tauru with pick 8 and let that be known to Melbourne who expect him to be there with pick 9, north etc

[Tommy Wigs]

I think the only whispers we will hear this year is when Twomey releases his phantom. There are just so many picks in play it would be impossible to rule out anything yet. The last things clubs in our position need is to be leaking who we are interested in, unless its to spook another club to go a certain way.

His leads from the oppo rather than loose lips

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Having one not working out will be generally more of an issue than getting too many similar guns.

 

[SaintJunior]

Reid to me is a right footed Dal Santo.

Makes time stand still around him as he makes his decision.

Unbelievable composure and football IQ.

 

[BrutThough]

But do we go these 2 heavy big contested mids or only one + a smaller quicker mid like Lindsay or a HB runner probable mid like Travaglia?

I'd get one of each, if possible. Spread the type of player and traits around.

 

[St Neil]

Imagine if the Crows go with Langford, which is not impossible.

Both Draper and Smilie could be there for us.
