Fair assessment, who are you wanting at pick 3, windows?

The eye test, but again, I don’t think we’d be picking him up for his “speed”, it’d most definitely be for his kicking and ability to rest forward and kick a goal. All things being equal, there’s no doubt in my mind that Austin’s top 3 is FOS Smith Draper In no particular order.

Respect your takes Walshy, but I don’t get that comparison at all tbh. He’s quicker (not by a huge amount but definitely quicker), his gut running is way way better, his kicking is not even comparable to Bam Bam. I think we are being fooled by him not being as “fast” as your Smiths, Draper...

My bad, didn’t know he turned down playing against AFL players like every other draftee…Champ

Langford averaged 26 disposals and more than a goal a game, in what world is that Acres or even a link up player?

Faster and much fitter than Bam Bam with better decision making and elite foot skills* Fixed it for you.

The closer we get to draft night, the higher Langford will be on most people’s list. He may not have the speed we seem to be crying out for, but I’d argue we need someone that can deliver a footy inside 50 as good as he does just as much. My top 3 is now Langford FOS Smith The fact that...

What a strange arc for Carroll, started the year playing a crucial roll in our come from behind win in round 0, to now being off of the list. I get that he would’ve been depth and didn’t show enough throughout the rest of the year, but he was still so young. Some team (especially a team that...

Also, how good is it to be picking this high up again whilst not actually being dog shiite?

After actually doing genuine research (looking passed just the tantalising highlights) My tier list of want is as follows 1a - Reid 1b - Smith 2 - Draper 3 - FOS 4 - Langford (know he’s slowish, but, he’s got a lot of potential with that left peg and his goalscoring ability. I would’ve had...

To me, I find it incredible how some people get so worked up/jealous of seeing Houston with the toothless birdies, but yet fail to realise how good our team is without all those injuries. All that was needed was some in house improvement and a bit of rejuvenation. That happened, and on top of...

Yeap, it’s finally noticeable, there’s a different demeanour around the club, especially starting with Austin. Love it.

First time in a while that our side in round 1 (or 0) is going to look different, while not stars, Owies and Bam Bam were regulars and great clubman. We absolutely thank you for your service lads. Go well at your new homes. That being said, this administration is definitely working differently...

Can you imagine being the lads touted as top 5 picks and now knowing than an actual contending club will be picking at #3? Somebody’s gonna get lucky.

It’s no Bowes + 7, but gee whiz you’d be absolutely seething as a Weagles fan today…

Austin you

To be fair, they sound pretty close to burning down said house

Look…. You’re likely not wrong [emoji23]

Looks like they both rate one another in the highest regard.

You know what? Thinking about how much effort Austin and co have gone to get said pick #3, it tells you that they see a player (or players) who will potentially lift this club further than even a Houston move would have. It’s bold, but I bloody love it. Gimme Draper or Lalor and I’m so excited.

I’d much, much rather it be between Lalor & Draper, and not Lalor & FOS tbh… Lalor is my 1a, Draper is my 1b. Both extremely tantalising options.

You (and your sources) have been on point. Reckon we’re done? Or trying to get a top 3 pick still a possibility?

Also, again, if that is the final deal, we must’ve really had very little interest in Houston. We could’ve matched or outdone that any day of the week. Fascinating viewing.

For me it isn’t even about wanting Houston anymore, I just would be genuinely mad if that feeder of a club folds this hard once again.

How did GWS turn out so right, yet that dumpster fire of a club further north turned out into a feeder club for the big clubs (Bowes + 7 to cats and now this) Truly baffling.

If that’s the final deal, Pies with the highway robbery.

Thanks EP, always appreciate your input. In terms of percentage, what would you rate the first option as? That’s the one I’m honestly wanting the most. The fact that we have all 3 options at play speaks to how good a situation we’ve put ourselves in.

Gets them Baker and potentially Bo Allan. Their fans won’t like it, but I get the trade tbh
