can't see why we would bid on Ashcroft at 1 tbh likely handshake agreement with the Lions aside - basically tells the world that while we have the top pick but we fancy a kid playing his footy at a rival club. Rather the prestige and confidence boost go to whoever we end up taking at 1 than a rival player. This is the start of a rebuild, need to sell hope and optimism to the supporter base and you don't do that by publicly revealing we're settling for the second best prospect in the crop
If the Tigers can take Sam Lalor, Harvey Langford, Murphy Reid, Taj Hotton, and then Jobe Shanahan/Jonty Faull, and Alex Dodson, I would be pretty happy with that. Probably could pick up a medium defender, or Luke Trainor with a later pick if he were to slide that far. But I think the Tiges would be desperate to get some speed and skill with the ball in the midfield, and some more scoring options forward.
Richmond WILL NOT gift a bloke $10,000 (the pick one bonus) who will play for an oppo team. NO WAY. The money from the AFL causes the integrity issue. Scrap it. Then all bets are off. What a stupid suggestion to pick a bloke you know will not play for you. FFS!!!!! And, why Lalor? Why not Draper? This is just echo chamber claptrap.
I agree with u in the first part lalor is a must ,Lalor is a midfielder half forward he tackles kicks goals and is quick , Draper is from Adelaide he can play 4-5 yrs and will leave havent u seen Bolton and Baker and others
No draft analyst worth two cents would ever make that claim, this is just another exercise in populist tabloid and social media consensus. It has no real analytical value.
At this stage of the rebuild they don't necessarily have to go best available. Especially when you consider they have LDU, Wardlaw, Sheezel and Mckercher as all elite midfielder propsects.
Saints trade pick 8 and future first (based on this years standing, lets say that its Pick 7 2025) for North Melbournes Pick 2 of this years draft, essentiallly pick 8, and pick 7 2025 for Pick 2. Saints will have Pick 2 and 7 and North will have Pick 8 for Alix Tauru
absolutely not, ridiculos suggestion moving up 5 spots, by trading away next years 1st rounder. If the player we want is gone by our second turn, maybe trade it to GWS for their 15 and 16. Wilson was a pick around that spot, so I'd rather do that, than trying to get pick 2.
If no one comes to North with a decent trade proposal, then I would take FOS and stuff both Carlton and Adelaide up. And either Richmond or St Kilda miss out on their expected topline midfielders.
Nothing Dumb about it chief. In a even draft choc a bloke full of depth, North taking Tauru at pick 2 backs in their man to not only select but facilitate needs basis.

It won't happen I also don't even think he's the best kid this year like all the media do he wont be the best player out of the draft in 5 years time

@@chrisc3797 I like that but too many tall forwards would pick Reid or Travaglia instead of a tall
Not a fan of the Shanahan pick. I say focus on talent rather than need at this point: Hotton over Shanahan.

Tauru isn'g going second. No chance. They'll take best available or trade it, because it would be total madness not to.

Tauru is basically a slightly bigger Sicily. That is who you are getting.
Saints will split pick 10 for GWS picks and get hotton/lindsay.
Forget Richmond bidding on Ashcroft

Why would the Saints give up TWO really good players for one? It ain't happening. Not when there is not much between 2 and 7 anyway.
@@SuspectAccountas a Saints fan I would absolutely trade pick 8 and a future first to have picks 2 and 7 in this years draft
This would be awesome. FOS and Langford or Jagga Smith. Wowee.

Only happens if Lalor is on the board still
Richmond surely aren't picking smilie at 7 he fumbles the ball constantly and doesn't make the best decisions under pressure
Totally agree Smilie does fumble heaps
they'd definitely take Langford instead, who is also a Tigers supporter too
I'd go Smith, then Langford at 6 before Smilie - Smilie might even slide to our third pick (though probs unlikely).
I hope Carlton pick Sid Draper instead.
I reckon he’s the best in this draft
Allan is that over rated😂 Eagles want Travaglia, Lindsay, or Reid.
Insane if North take Tauru at pick 2. Dumb.

@@bomberwarren it’s looking more unlikely now compared to 2weeks ago
@johnfloris6306 so north either take a mid they don't need or a defender who isn't worth a top 5 pick with pick 2
@@bomberwarren Bear in mind, LDU hasn't signed on yet, and Tassy will come after McKercher. So now might be their chance.
