I’ve got a sneaky suspicion we’ll take Langford regardless

Me too

 

[Afcprophet]

Langford is the Mcasey of this draft

 

[Afcprophet]

Hot take: Dodson will be a better player than Langford

 

[Cromulant]

Langford is the Mcasey of this draft

Not at all, McAsey wasnt a bolter, he was a Vic Metro MVP.

Same in the sense of noted to be slow, but highly skilled, high iq, good overhead contested mark.

Trainor is the mcasey of this draft thats why hes slipped in the pecking order

 

[Mutineer]

Nope, he's slipped because he's had ongoing issues after his last concussion, not his first.

Thats not good

 

[rabidcrow]

Lalor looks a real beast but just worry about some of his injuries (aware other top prospects have injuries too like Draper etc).

I'll be happy with any of:

Lalor
Smith
FOS
Draper
Langford

Surely we couldn't go wrong with one of those?!?

This pick has to be a 200+ gamer for the club. Please dont stuff it up Hamish.

Not just a 200 gamer. It needs to be a top 10-15 player in the comp

And btw he missed the combine with a hip issue.

If fit and the clubs are confident re his concussions he'd be a steal if he goes outside the 1st round.

Had no idea, cheers

shit thats really bad. ok. anyway not a need for us.

 

[FR0GGY]

this the first year in awhile where the no 1 and the general order is up in the air?

More unsettled at this stage than most years, for sure

Though I suspect it’ll look clearer by the start of November as info gradually leaks out

Wonder what’s in it for clubs to be truthful about who they want

 

[Redline]

Just putting it out there...Just want to see the p155ed off look on the pear supporters faces should we get Draper in the draft. It will make the selection even more satisfying if it falls that way.

I think 12 months ago when they traded out their first they decided they weren't prioritising Draper.

Likewise with trading their F1 for Luko with Sharpe available next year.

You can always try to trade back in but it's difficult.

 

[Mutineer]

Agree with most of his ratings other than FOS ahead of Lalor

 

[adelaidecrows]

So even at 4 we could miss out on Draper even though on some ratings had him as low as 9th. Will be interesting. However, I guess there are plenty of options which is a blessing.

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

Doesn't seem likely though, that you would get FOS to retain Walsh, Walsh isn't going anywhere. They would have to be taking best available talent with a need.

FOS may fit best available, but the argument for Draper on the blues board is to settle in with the Campo boys, connect back to Moir, etc.

Personally I just can't believe they would not take the best available.

I'd be happy to run with Draper being a flight risk, having recently stated that playing for Adelaide would be a childhood dream come true, and that West Coast just moved out of the top 3 on the back of Draper being a flight risk - but all this is just 2+2=5 type stuff.

I'm just preparing myself to not get Draper, or to not get upset not getting Draper or Lalor. Smith would be a great fit for us, and if he was overlooked by Richmond and Carlton he may not be on the first flight home.

West Coast didn't move out of the top 3 because Draper is a flight risk, they just got wind that North are very keen on him.

north are foxing

what do all clarkson rebuilds have in common? great kicking teams. they aint using pick 2 on drapers kick let alone flight risk.

 

[PeterSalt]

West Coast didn't move out of the top 3 because Draper is a flight risk, they just got wind that North are very keen on him.

I thought they moved out of the top 3 because they messed Hawthorn around initially on the trade of Barrass

They could've kept pick 3 and still landed Baker if they'd traded with Hawthorn straight up

 

[Jeffcrowe]

this the first year in awhile where the no 1 and the general order is up in the air?

I think the standard of the top end guys this year is bit below normal

But the standard 10-50 is well above almost all drafts I’ve seen

That’s a bit disappointing given our pick placement this year

Not that they’re duds ! It’s Fine lines , but less stand outs but way more good players overall

I think that’s why there isn’t really a stand out top 5 or top 10 like last year which seemed quite obvious , this year it’s much more in eye of the beholder

Is that right? Interesting, does that mean Smith slips through to us?
