Do you mean it’s off for the smell or that no one is trading for it

Rawlings is Einstein spent all that money recruiting CD, drafts JHF, loses him, sacks the CD team then wants Lalor when he could have just gone on BF to rank the players with the picks he has.

What does that matter? Everyone is allowed an opinion and a bit of fun.Tune in for a mock draft by people who have no absolutely zero inside info.
Yeah, I'll set my alarm
Remembering were all well entrenched in various game day threads, autopsy and selection threads, and none of us here are any wiser but we participate anyway.
This is no different

From H/S.
Smith is believed to have strong interest from Carlton (pick 3), Adelaide (pick 4) and Melbourne (pick 5) and is no longer expected to get past the Demons.
Richmond is still favoured to select Sam Lalor at pick 1 but has also weighed up Finn O’Sullivan.
With North Melbourne eyeing Alix Tauru at pick 2, Carlton looks set to have a choice between O’Sullivan, Sid Draper and Smith.
The Blues have long been favoured to take O’Sullivan, but are also big fans of Draper and Smith — two other players who would fit their needs nicely.
Draper, Smith and Langford have all been linked to Adelaide at pick 4, while Smith and Langford look the most likely options for Melbourne at pick 5.
The Tigers are widely tipped to use pick 6 on Josh Smillie, while Brisbane Lions father-son prospect Levi Ashcroft is expected to attract a top-five bid.
JAGGA FIRMING AS A TOP-FIVE LOCK

There’s less than a week until the next generation of AFL stars enter the league via the draft.
Catch up on all the latest intel here.

DRAGON ‘DEFINITELY’ KEEN FOR INTERSTATE MOVE
Sandringham Dragons midfielder Murphy Reid says he is “definitely” willing to move interstate to chase his AFL dream.The classy ball-winner has been one of the top performing prospects across the year, named in the U18 All Australian side after averaging 25 disposals and a goal per game for Vic Metro.
But he could be a potential first-round draft slider with clubs questioning his defensive game, speed and whether he can become a midfielder at the next level.
It is also understood some interstate clubs are unsure whether he is best suited to a move interstate.
However, Reid has reassured clubs outside Victoria he is keen to play anywhere.
“I am pretty lucky. I have family and friends that support me and know what journey I am on, so they are all in my corner to do what it takes and I’ve had those conversations with clubs,” Reid said.

“I am very excited for the opportunity to go wherever it takes, that club is obviously putting their time and resources to pick me, so we’ll do whatever it takes to make it work out and get the best out of myself to help them succeed.”
Reid, who models his game on Collingwood champion Scott Pendlebury and Dragons product Harry Sheezel, is hoping he is rewarded for his strong season on draft night.
“Definitely want to be taken as high as possible. Hopefully feel like I have done enough to do so now, sort of at the pointy end now,” Reid said.
“Obviously grateful for the opportunity I have put myself in but wherever it takes I am keen to get started. Very keen for everything’s that’s to come.”
PUTTING KOROIT ON THE MAP
No. 1 draft pick Harley Reid put the small Victorian country town of Tongala on the map last year.
Top-five prospect Finn O’Sullivan is hoping he can do the same with Koroit this year.
Sitting just outside of Warnambool in western Victoria, the 2021 Census listed Koroit’s population at 2,184.
“I wouldn’t say I know everyone, but I’ve grown up there my whole life,” O’Sullivan said.
“My closest mates still live in Koroit. It’s something that’s definitely close to my heart.”
O’Sullivan moved to Melbourne to board at Xavier College three years ago, but still gets home to visit whenever he can.
He lists a senior debut for Koroit in 2022 as perhaps his fondest football memory, playing alongside older brothers Jack and Paddy while still just 16 years old.
“That was definitely a special game,” O’Sullivan said.

“My brothers made sure they’d protect me, but they knew I could keep my own. It was just such a fun game. We got the win, too, so that was great.
“It’s great when I go back to the club. Everyone’s asking me about how everything’s going up here (in Melbourne), which is cool because it only shows that they care and they want me to do the best I can. I can’t thank them enough.”
The O’Sullivan family home back in Koroit is a short five or 10-minute drive to the beach, which O’Sullivan was a frequent visitor to.
However, getting anywhere else for representative football or basketball sides growing up meant a long time in the car with mum or dad.
“It’s never in between nothing and 60 minutes. It’s always hours,” O’Sullivan said of the car trips.
“It was every weekend and probably and a couple of nights a week. But saying that, I really enjoyed it. I had a couple of good mates with me every time, so that was great.”
A second cousin of Carlton star Sam Walsh, O’Sullivan has been strongly linked to Carlton at pick 3 in the draft, as well as Adelaide and Melbourne which hold the following two picks.
He is also believed to be in the mix at pick 1 for Richmond, but the Tigers are favoured to select Sam Lalor.

The AFL has invited 20 players to the first night of the draft next Wednesday, where as many as 27 dreams are set to be achieved.After early father-son and Academy bids, the first round of this year’s draft is expected to blow out to 27 selections.

No, not really. Lalor is a contested bull. Langford is a utility type that can play mid, forward or half back and is a strong overhead mark.
Probably similar in the way that they can work inside and outside and be a threat forward.
Different though, Lalor a bit like DeGoey and Langford a bit like Bontompelli
