He was also the one who wanted Lachie Charleson so let’s just slow your roll.
Butters was selected in about the location where most phantom drafts had him. He wasn't a reach that has come off ridiculously well, it was actually more shocking that he was available with our pick because the Crows decided to go for a reach with Chayce Jones.
Nice.
If Richmond want to go with a powerful big bodied midfielder who doesn't shirk contests and a great mark, they'll pick Langford, definitely a point of difference from the other two.

Add to the fact there is simply not enough people in the state to run the college comp that clashes with SANFL U18s. Then combined with that the top U18s are playing league. You end up having 2 average comps (college and U18) need to somehow get the U18 program to a strong comp where you can focus all your coaching and the kids commitments into, rather than half assing two comps, but we all know the colleges will never agree to that.
Really good point this. Between Colleges, SANFL, Amateur Clubs and country footy, our junior system cannibalises itself. Would be amazing if juniors kids had an actual U18 pinnacle to aspire to. Will never happen though...

For me there is Armstrong, Shanahan, Trainor in the top tier. Then there's Barrat and Sims a rung below them (I rate both probably higher than most), then there's Faull, Whitlock x 2 etc. in the mid range area.
I think we have a good chance at Barrat and Sims being available around our 2nd & 3rd pick.

I just don't know about Smillie.
"Smillie, who looms as a possible top-10 pick at next month’s draft after being in the Pick 1 conversation earlier in the year, was the only player surveyed who nominated himself.
“I’m just the perfect player to have at a club and that’s not just on the field but off the field as well,” Smillie told foxfooty.com.au."
i’m not sure I think he’s an arrogant prick or I love him.
Fair enough. I think he's got very good intangibles. A bit like Luke Hodge. We'll see.
I like Josh Smilie the footballer, he's got that footy IQ and his kicks go to advantage and I usually love that type of player and then he's 194cm which is usually fantastic but he is a touch lumbering for a midfielder and a bit top heavy physically. If he sorts those things out, he'll be great.
When it comes to it, you nitpick these top picks.

I shall call you ... Bucks.
I thought sims had a lot of upside. It sounds like he will go late in the draft. He was a little bit of an almost player, but if it clicks it would be awesome.
Armstrong looked like the finished product...which isn't good?
I really liked jagga smith and kako.
Lindsay reminds me of goddard. His style is a bit annoying but it grows on you, He's really good.
Joe Berry had a great second half, he kicked a tough clutch goal. He was really impressive.
Smillie really did nothing for me?
There looked like there were a lot of players who could be role players at afl level. Depth in vic country and metro looked really good. The kids really had a crack and it was a physical, skilled game.
Crazy end with the umpires deciding who would win the champs.

Many mock drafts i have seen have us picking him unfortuantley
That's because most people doing the mock drafts hate us and don't really know what we need
I like Lindsay and don't like Allan or Lalor. We'll all see players differently and we'll likely be wrong as much as we're right. Hell, same goes for the people who are paid to get it right.
I've been a big Sims fan for months, think he's the best key forward in the draft. I also love Charlie West who did very well at the combine.

Not getting the Lindsay criticisms, if there at 13 Id have no issues picking him, pretty safe bet at that point, be surprised if he slips to 13.
