Not getting your number one choice at pick 4 is pretty normal.

Potentially getting your number two choice (whichever one that is for you) at pick 4 is awesome!

For once I’d like to see a clubs draft talent order … see where they had players ranked.
Wonder why no club is willing to share this info after the draft is completed

Same reason we really need Sam Lalor..

I def think we tanked him down the order. Why waste top picks when we can get him cheap. He will be a longer term project anyway.

Why would he be a long term project? He’s not a recent convert to the game or a bean pole. He’s played the game his whole life and tested himself towards being drafted. If he’s not up and going in 2-3 years then he’s never going to be.

Ok thanks, that’s kind of how I saw Draper too in YouTube highlights.

I find it hard to get enthusiastic about that kind of player. With a top 5 pick you really want (forgive me) “hurt factor”.

Average disposal is ok if they’re breaking clear of pressure and putting defenders under pressure by giving forwards one out contests.

Bickley floating the idea of us taking Draper @ 4 .
Then also noting a player like “Murpy Reid” is our other need because of his kicking.

Have seen numerous WC posters suggesting Murphy Reid being a flight risk as well.

Nothing against the kid, but regardless of whether the above is true, there's a lot of other options ahead of him for me at Pick 4.

Tbh I don’t know much about the lad except that he is meant to be a real quick thinker, footy IQ and a good kick.
I reckon Bickley may have meant take best available with 4 and try to get another first round pick or splitting and dropping back, didn't understand where Murphy’s name came from otherwise.

Is anyone thinking we should have taken WC F1 last year for Curtin which would have given us 3&4 in this draft (Maybe Lalor & Draper?) or happy with Curtin 12 months on?
