Thanks to Lore for this great resource

Draper is now my favourite player in the draft.

Move heaven and earth to get him over here.

Please no, the hype is over-exaggerated. Plenty of better prospects without having to move heaven and earth

Is it worth it trying to acquire Brisbane's pick 18 assuming we bundle up a bunch of picks assuming that we get picks for this years draft for the likes of Soldo. Clurey etc.? I just don't know since its a strong even draft this year and there could very well be draft steals or gems hidden. Not to mention pick 18 will blow out to a pick in the 20's.

It definitely is not. He could be the best player in the draft

 

[Rash]

I would love to get one of Sam Lalor or Josh Smille.

 

[240volt]

I would love to get someone who can take a mark and kick a football between goal posts.
Tough ask in 2024.

Smillie is drifting down for no good reason.

 

[Long live PAFC]

Smillie is drifting down for no good reason.

He is drifting because he had a poor state champs and there are question marks on his outside ability.

Still think he is a gun and worthy of a top 5 pick.

Yeah, 100%! That Pat Cripps’ outside game isn’t the best in the comp, but he still makes do week to week.

I cannot believe our pick 126 slid that far.

Port officially finished 4th. So Freo has pick 15.

Port finished 3rd officially and their pick is 16... it's based on H&A plus finals exits therefore it's 3rd and cats 4th

Looking at those Power Rankings we would want to get inside the top 10 to be sure of getting one of the more highly fancied players.

I am actually the opposite, I have some questions on value for pick in relation to some in the top 10.

I would much rather have 2 in 10-18 range. Take Tauru and Hotton.

Will be 136 after f/s, nga etc,

Is Tauru 191cm or 194cm? If it's the former, I'll pass.

193cm but if you've seen him play you wouldn't say you'll pass on him. I think our issue is that we keep trying to get these strong key forwards like Dixon and Esava but the modern footy profile is moving away from that. Its more about dynamic and mobile forwards. Moving away from Dixon and Esava will force a different way of forward 50 entry.

Tauru is one of the best in this draft from contested marks too. Take a look at his highlights. Could be one of the underrated picks in this draft imo

 

[Us against the rest]

Crows into Draper.

Crows into Draper.

Draper isn't into the crows though apparently

Maybe ..

Smith
Reid
Langford
Allan
O’Sullivan
Lalor
Smillie
Draper
Hotton
Armstrong
Trainor

Probably a pretty decent 11, and then there’s always a shock.

Pretty even group too, tho there’s a cpl there in less keen on then others.

It’s a very even top 10, but according to a person that works in recruiting that I know not one of them would have been ranked alongside of the top handful last year, including curtin who went at 8.

Yes I would have Reid, McKercher, Walter, Duursma and Watson in the top 5 of this draft too. From then onwards I would say it is quite even. The top echelon of this draft isnt as good as last year's. But the quality goes almost into the 3rd round whereas I'd say last year it was looking average from early 2nd round

 

[philthy05]

Yes the talk all year has been the same.

 

[Relativity]

I have it on good authority (my missus) that 3 cm makes no difference.

 

[It Just Is]

4,5,6 & 8 all big powerful mids. That’s what I want if we are losing Houston.

If we can get pick 2 from North, that guarantees we get whichever one Parker prefers or we can slide back a few picks and generate even more draft capital.
