It now seems that Lalor is firming as pick 1.
I think there is a strong chance Smith slides to 6 as well.

Yeah that’s about where I see him. I reckon he’s a gun. Would love him at the saints
If you guys get Reid, you're lucky. I think he is close to the best in the draft class.

Not a bad effort. From what I’ve read freo have offered 10 & 18 for Bolton so we would be ahead of there pick. Think we take Tauru over Armstrong and Hynes over Oliver ( probably swap those 2). Having the choice out of Travaglia, Berry & Lindsay would make me sweat.

Saints are in a sweet spot. They’ll get at least one of the best mids and then their choice of the next bracket of players. Reid and Travaglia odds on to be Saints IMO. Smillie might still be there too.

Looks like you’re getting 14 for Baker so would get 2 of Travaglia, Berry or Lindsay, with freo taking one of those three and WC taking Allan at 12.

If we land Pick 3 from the Eagles, and the Tiges take Lalor at 1, I hope to God they live trade for pick 2 from North (handing them 2 later first rounders in exchange) and then take FOS.
That leaves Draper or Smith (Draper is the one I want because he's the most ready for a R1 start out of the two players, and has runs on the board vs Men, and is the exact kind of explosive outside player we need).
If we trade up and take FOS (who is trending in the wrong direction, and wont be ready for a few years if at all) I'll be livid.

I'm with you. I don't see it with FOS. Low possession mid, going backwards (albeit with some minor injury concerns this year).
Yeah he tested well at the combine, but that means next to zero. Cripps blew the Combine out his backside and went on to win 2 Brownlows and an AFL MVP (along with a bucketload of BnFs and AAs) because he had a point of difference (his clearance work is elite).
I see it with Draper, and Lalor (burst speed, evasiveness and hurt factor). Smith and Ashcroft as well (high possession counts, and well balanced). Draper and Smith (very different mids) both have runs on the board vs men and are trending in the right direction. Draper in particular could very easily play round 1.
So many have FOS top 3 and I scratch my head. I've watched all his tapes and I don't see it.
For mine its Draper at 1, Lalor at 2 (and I flip flop on those two a bit) then Ashcroft and Smith (as your sure thing, with Smith needing more time to add some bulk and Ashcroft being more ready) at 3 and 4 respectively.
Id only take FOS if I had multiple picks in the top 20 (i.e. Richmond) and I already had a sure thing like a Draper I could take to the bank. I'd then be prepared to take a gamble on FOS and see if his upside pays off.
Glad it's not just me.

If you're talking about my "highlight" reels then they're not highlight reels, they include all the interactions with the play good or bad. I hope you're not expecting to draft a player that's never made a mistake?
The good doesn't look anything special or different to what we already have.
The bad looks exactly like what we already have and need less of.
@25 seconds is exactly the kind of play we're already dealing with.

Is Luke Trainor not even in consideration as a top 10 pick? I remember some people were suggesting North could take him at 2 a while back.

Ouch! Eagles supporters are spitting chips about the Baker trade over here. I'm not an Eagles supporter but I can't blame them. They've given up a lot for an ok player and a maybe player.

1 - FOS
2 - Lalor ( by trading 10, 14
6 Langford
11 Shanahan
20 - Hynes
23 - Dodson
24 Hamish Davis
Our last pick - Sam Davison
Would be some sort of draft

For me he would be abit behind Ashcroft, Smith, FOS and Lalor, but around the same area as Draper and Lombard
