Will Francou will help here, getting SPP pushes one of McIntee or Evans back into the midfield. Still think Charleson will be a midfielder more than a small forward. Hope Lorenz plays Wing in the ones next year, but Rover if he plays twos. Jackson fit and ‘one’ more, maybe R.Burgoyne? We look healthierEh. The problem is you go back and look at drafts and how many small forwards have been taken that you would still pay a high pick for. Not many.
Again it’s a generalisation, which doesn’t always apply to individuals.
But yeah, much prefer we go after small forwards with mid to late picks, where they’re found all the time. I think recruiters have a hard time quantifying small forward form in lower leagues to how they’ll play in the afl.
Yeah our midfield is pretty close, I think we’re still working out our best mix there and it doesn’t seem quite right. Hard to say yet whether it’s the mix or the coaching setups etc or as I suspect a little bit of both.
We arguably need to replace wines shortly, and I think a young explosive bigger bull is probably the player we need to put next to butters , jhf , drew and rozee.
We saw in the sanfl this year we really had next to no onballers. Sinn who’s developing as a halfback/ wing. Lorenz as a wing, and Jackson, and who knows what he can be if he can stay on the park. But there’s certainly no bulls there.

Officially, you can't say no, it's draft tampering, unless you're a Victorian kid. But you can make it clear you don't want to go to the club. The ball is then in their court.
Draper would prefer going to a Vic club according to the report, so that's probably ok with the AFL.
I’d love to see Dudley get a go , he’s small but he’s chunky , comes from a good footballing family . I think his grandfather was Lincoln Dudley who was a top player they’re from Ceduna/Pt.LincolnVery skilled but might be a bit small for AFL
How many goals did his grandfather kick on debut?I’d love to see Dudley get a go , he’s small but he’s chunky , comes from a good footballing family . I think his grandfather was Lincoln Dudley who was a top player they’re from Ceduna/Pt.Lincoln

I wonder what Jake Neade is doing nowadays.Being small is a benefit these days. In the elimination final I saw Nick Watson head but Caleb Daniel in the shins and get rewarded with a high free kick.

Checked his record 38 games for 32 goals not that flash, Wilkinson, Gore and Hone have much better records and we need goals. Would we look at any of those 3I’d love to see Dudley get a go , he’s small but he’s chunky , comes from a good footballing family .

Which might be actually the pointDraper gets past the Crows he can get to us.
Agree ,the other three have better records but I think are 22 and overI'm a fan but hasn't done enough at Centrals. Looks like he's worked on his weight but might be a better player not so skinny.
Crows supporters blaming Port for the Draper story.Which might be actually the point
