Don't think fitness will take that long. But he'll be 21 in 3 years right? So lots of time to get better.

Fitness will take ages as he first needs to acknowledge it then work out how to train it then actually do it

2-3 years min I reckon

Won't get 3 years if he doesn't work hard on his endurance if we take him in the rookie draft only guaranteed 1 year and 2 if we take him with pick 64 which seems to be the plan by the look.

i watched about a 3rd of the first one and it was tough going. No wonder he's slipped so far, he's awful.

Still, 5 goals and 2 goal assists at SANFL League is pretty good going for an 18yo.

He looked far more dangerous inside 50, but it looked like got more than half his possessions pushing up to the middle of the ground. So, he has enough endurance to get to the ball around the ground, but maybe not enough to do awesome things once he gets it.

Still might turn into the best pick in the 50s we've ever had.

The age had us picking Langford over Draper and smith, anything you’ve heard that would validate or go against this?

 

[bigman]

If Draper is gone and Langford or Smith are there on the board, whom would you be taking?

Love jagga but I do wonder if the club thinks we already have similar players in Soligo and Taylor

Then again you could argue we have somewhat similar types to Langford in Dawson and Curtin as well.

If Langford can develop a good fend and quicker feet at stoppage I could see him being a serious footballer. The difference is jagga is already a master in tight and has been for years now. But Jagga cant do what Langford can up forward.

I would personally back jagga in as he’s just such a good little player, but there is something about Langford no doubt. He just has more rough edges.

If O'Brien can be dropped for a 28 year old that isn't fit enough to run out a game there's no reason Welsh can't play in his first season

Not sure sorry, I know you are very keen on Smith. But I’m going to assume he’s off the board by 4.

Any noise on Richmond picking Smith at pick 1?

The first (traditional) three picks I think are a combination of Smith/Lalor/FOS

Leaves the Crows with a decision between Langford/Draper etc
