I want Lalor, but I'm starting to get very worried about his injury propensity. Would it be wise for us to pick him if he's having serious hammys at this age? I won't be assuaged by sending him for a medical, as I don't reckon that would provide any insight to this.
Its certainly not a good sign
there are five academies by that pick so 25 is 30 odd
Sam at the 11.38 mark..very impressive young man.

im pretty sure you right that he will be our target at 4 (5)Sam at the 11.38 mark..very impressive young man.
GETTABLE: HUGE trade update, star's new suitor, Pies ramp up bid, six-club hunt for mid
Riley Beveridge and Cal Twomey are joined by highly-touted draft prospect Sam Lalor and player agent David Trotter
I wouldn't worry too much personally, very poorly managed by the Rebels, I saw Sam reach for his hammy early in the 2nd quarter in that game down in Tassie played in blizzard like conditions, he went off and didn't re-appear until the 3rd quarter with a massive strapping on it. Should have been taken off immediately, could hardly break into a trot but stayed out there till the finish and no doubt made the injury way way worse. Bear in mind Sam's never, ever done a pre-season being in the elite cricket pathway. We've already interviewed him twice in recent times.
How can you say that? What you can say is that he should be our target!
What I mean is he suggested Lalor was ahead of Draper. Its one of those two. I'm not pulling out his list bit he ranked them
They've probably interviewed plenty of players especially those they're considering with pick 4, Sam would be probably one of 4 or 5 they have big interest in.
We havent always gone down that route though, particularly at the top end of drafts.
How many times have we had a pick this high when a SA lad is firmly in our range?
True.
not many and when we did, we took Thilthorpe (and I am glad we did)
So you think we'll bid on Levi Ashcroft which will be matched then take Draper?
They might from the go home factor but I dont know. There are just so many 179-181 mids on the list. If you reckon Lalor is the man skills and aggression wise, I suspect the 187 stature might get it over the line. If he was vic metro the no way (I know you said he was baccus marsh or something) but luckily thats not hawthorn or sandringham.
what if we are taking dodson (I know you concerned) and welsh in this draft does that lessen the pressure to be local for pick 4... whatever they cant screw pick 4 up
Technically JUH over TT, but we were never getting JUH.
And we're never getting Levi Ashcroft but if he's still on the board at pick 4 and he's top of our rankings I think we'll bid. Levi's actually had a better year than his brother Will who drew a bid at pick 2 by the Kangas.
who cares, we are not getting him regardless so if we bid its only to keep Brisbane honestSo you think we'll bid on Levi Ashcroft which will be matched then take Draper?
History and all that?
1 time. TT.. it was the right call. But the time before that we called Dangerfield and qgain it was the right call. I wouldnt be disappointed if we called Draper.
Is the difference between Draper and Lalor potentially the same as Danger and Ebert?
Not really, both Lalor and Draper have serious weapons that Ebert just didn't have, Lalor game wise is certainly closer to Dangerfield than Draper.
Looks a serious type. Twomey consistently having him Top 3-4 in his draft rankings (today's latest had him at #2) suggests there is very strong interest at clubland as well.
