Danger in Texas

Jaiden Magor delisted today, might be worth a look for our SANFL squad on a try before you buy option, that's of course if he doesn't want to head back to the Panthers?

Got a feeling another club has already booked him in

Will see

 

[Mutineer]

Nah Ollie is going well before our 2nd pick and maybe in the low to mid teens

Alger Angove Unwin more the ones at 28 +

Benny Barrett hopefully gets a shot preferably before the Powa nab him as a rookie

Edit*

Funny how Evan Bradley fell off the AFL radar after a couple of decent Nationals games too?

SANFL or AFL?

Panthers I would suggest

Absolutely worth it if we can snag him. Play him forward, seemed to stagnate this year as a half back

Bradley too slow I feel

 

[Mutineer]

Don't think Cal is talking about FOS there...

 

[Chances Are]

Langford the 4th slowest of the entire combine

That's why I personnally don't want him for the Crows. We need pace and he doesn't have it. That's not to say he won't be a match for another team, just not us.

At the very least, I want the midfielder we draft to have a good athletic base, even if it’s not pure straight-line speed

Langford is not that guy

Cant see him going top 10 with that time jeepers

Nah, still think he goes top 10, probably not right at the pointy end now, but it only takes 1 club.

Cripps 3.23 and Bontompelli 3.20 odd tested ordinary too.

Its a shame. I dont want him so was hoping he would be at pointy end to give us bit more choice at pick 4 from the 4 we want.

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Smith is as good in traffic as anyone in the draft, clean and skilful as you say, with a good athletic base. Not overly handball-happy either (though his kicks tend to be more short and well-placed)

Draper has more straight-line speed and is more penetrating by foot (though hitting targets is more hit-or-miss), at this point he is more strongly built too

I’d be happy with either, but I have Draper slightly ahead for what we need (though the speed in midfield issue has been helped somewhat by acquiring Peatling)

Do you think think can put on the size needed to be a mainstay on the inside?

Or his he more a wing with the occasional stint on the inside at afl level?

I’d say he can. Even without the size this year, he racked up the possessions for Richmond’s VFL side against bigger bodies. The initial query would be how he’ll hold up defensively, but anyone with such a natural read of the ball has an excellent chance of succeeding at the highest level

Apparently they want Lalor or FOS

Every chance to have multiple picks in the top 6 anyway

Few 20m sprint numbers starting to come out (cheers eDPS )

Unwin 2.914
Alger 2.931
Hannaford 2.954
Allan 2.982
Tauru 3.001
Smillie 3.088
Ough 3.174
Travaglia 3.186
Langford 3.240

For comparison, I think Matt Crouch ran a 3.25

Langford also in the discussion now based on a bit of info I got last night, but Lalor still the favourite atm.

Langford will be fine in the right team. Exceptional overhead and is dangerous when playing forward. Strong and above average skills.
Actually think he would be good for our friends down the road, will give them a better left/right balance through their mids (they are all predominantly right-sided at the moment).

Yeah but that was 3 minutes 25

Yes, I read this today.

That’s an interesting development. There had seemed to be a top 4-5 names often mentioned - FOS, Draper, Lalor, Smith and perhaps Langford (Smilie dropping) - so interesting they would be open to missing these. Makes sense for Kangas (need talls) but Weagles surprising.

Saints in an ideal spot to get 2/3 in that case and even perhaps Freo at a stretch. As long as Power don’t jump us and take Draper…

Wouldn’t read into it too much, gets said every year.

 

[adelaidecrows]

Question for the draft experts.

If we are splitting pick #4 what picks can we expect to get?
Are we expecting sliders and think Draper is still going to be available?
Who else are we looking at?

We won't be

 

[The Karma Bus]

Any of those guys expected to go early and around our pick known to be a go home possible risk?

I’d back our culture in to keep any of them tbh. It’s the one thing we seem to have got right.
