Speed and strength are the most important attributes. Ala Danger. Decent kick but the ability to burst away from contest is a key gap we miss

Wouldn't have thought Draper was over endowed in the strength attributes of his game, Danger is a bull, and Draper's certainly not really like Danger who is generally more straight line whilst Draper more uses his agility and sidestep to exit stoppages. I'm not saying Draper isn't also a decent prospect he just really doesn't share a lot of Dangerfield type attributes or game style IMO/

The poster said burst away from a pack - which Draper does in spades. I love his intensity to get to and away from packs. But his disposal worries me.

I could get behind both selections for us as I think both offer our midfield a different look that we need.
I think Draper's a safe bet to produce an Adam Treloar-like career. Consistently high production. Maybe the numbers don't always come with the hurt factor or value that you'd like, but an ultra reliable, top end ball winner.
Lalor I envision a bit the opposite. He probably won't put up the same numbers as Draper but he'll need less touches to break a game open. I think at full flight he'll be able influence the game in ways that most guys can't.
Both types have their place but I just think it's harder to get the Lalor types. I can't help but think if Lalor was healthy all year he'd be the consensus number 1 pick. That's probably the direction I'd go if I was making the pick.

This is awkward

Looks a ripper. Quick for a big guy, will put on a lot more fwd half pressure than Walker/Fog/Tt.
Given his long record of kicking bags at every level I don’t understand why he’s so low on the lists.

There's only one person making stupid comments and losing it here and it's most certainly not me...Another stupid comment. You are losing it
Oh no not at all. Draper is the best phone box player in the draft bar none. Elite sidestep, agility, speed of mind in congestion. Not the cleanest but in terms of brain to muscle, he's before everyone else. He's almost psycho in there with his ability in congestion and that would be very handy.
Lalor, the classic mid/fwd would overall present a harder matchup and a more powerful edge for our side. Different players, both weapons in their own right and it's why I've only got them 1 spot apart.
Edwards has improved, I don't think he will be the heavy type of player Smilie is, he's got almost a lumber about him (he could end up like RCD though that might be bottom end). Edwards has some good zing and will grow nicely into his body but I think he always keeps his lighter feet. Skills still need work but he's made good ground this year in an AFL system.

Sorry Jeff, i forgot but here is the link if you are interested in watching the game
Danger was a skinny kid when he arrived - albeit as a 17 year old. Draper looks pretty solid to me for a kid and plays tough, with his speed burst out of the contest and attack on the ground ball, think it's a pretty decent comparison.

Danger was relatively skinny but still powerfully built and could stand up in tackles in the Sanfl in his under age year. Draper is handling contested footy will as a small guy, but very different in terms of strength and power.
From ESPN's Jasper Chellappah: "Draper isn't made in the image of Scott Pendlebury, where time seems to slow and the path forward open up. He's more in tune with Patrick Dangerfield, a bundle of energy eager to explode forward at all times. Whether there's space to escape does not matter to the 18-year-old; he takes on opponents with reckless abandon and has no qualms in fighting tackles through pace or brawn."

Sorry I don't see it at all..
Jasper is Knightmare's (Chris Doerre) successor at ESPN after that former YouTube draft "guru" moved on to being a Youtube finance "guru".

So your junior coach has overseen some great kids of late.
Roberts, JHF, and by the looks Sid Draper.
His pedigree looks pretty good but don’t know if he has completed the necessary degree of coaching for AFL.
Should we be looking at him in a coaching role ?

I've often mentioned Clayton's input into the Panthers junior pathway if you checkout my posting. He'd be an ideal replacement for Marco Bello in our development gig, another that would be a good get would be David Loader the current GWV Rebels coach formerly worked in the development area with the Kangaroos.
Andy Collins is the guy if we want to chase one of the most experienced coaches to add to our current AFL coaching panel. Has spent time coaching in SA in the past at West Adelaide, currently Sam Mitchell's lieutenant at the Hawks.

I think South's Phoenix Hargrave and Benny Barrett will both be on an AFL list next year as well. Tall Jacob Sheean also has a state combine invite and though left field could be a smokey.

Flown under the radar a bit but a player type that the Crows could do with IMO.
Has a Vic State Draft combine invite so has AFL club interest, a solidly built 180cm Utility quick, agile, tough and skilled adept both as a smallish pressure forward that kicks bags and as a hard nosed smallish running defender, also looked capable when he's had squirts through the midfield. None tougher and harder at the contest in this draft.
Ollie has been consistently very good all year for the GWV Rebels (played 12 games. 10 times in the best players) whether playing back or forward and also for St.Pats in the school system along with 3 games for his local seniors team Sandhurst in the strong Bendigo Football Netball League.
