Yes good comparison. Probably go around the Dal Santo pick 13 mark. Dont know if he is a top 5 prospect, but I really think he has some class.cheers! looks nice, got a bit of the dal santos about him

I wouldn't write FOS off yet. Its difficult missing so much time. These kids don't get access to full time professional facilities and rehab coaching. FOS is still finishing school. Its difficult... he's way short of match fitness right now.
Be interesting how many Towmey gets in order in the top ten this year. So even. And you are dead set correct 15 to 20 mark, even sliders well into the 2nd round.This year is deep and even. I'd hate to be picking. It feels like a few high picks could bust and a few in that pick 15 to 20 group could end up some of the cream. I usually have a standout favourite player but none are feeling like guaranteed stars.
I made a highlights package of Drapers champs today. He or any of these guys could slip to the Sainters pick:
I think you guys are in a great spot.

Wonder how adventurous the high end clubs will be?

Yep the JHF comparison is what I see too - breaks the game open with his legs and his ability to completely burn an opponent if they have even a momentary lapse in concentration is game-changingWow good stuff. Have been positing thoughts on dealing with Adelaide on Draper, after that highlight package, I think we should take him if at pick 4, looks strong through the hips like a favourite son Harvey, and reminds a bit of Horne-Francis.
First time I have have seen anything of Draper.
You are correct. if we get pick 5 for Battle, I would be more than happy with any two of Draper, Smith, Smillie, Langford, FOS, even a Lindsay or Reid (both reaches).
Lalor is who I want at 5. He’s the one who can genuinely become a Dusty/Trac who on GF day will win us the premiership. Has been hampered by injury throughout this year but when fit, he’s gonna go on a tear and change everyone’s mindNo mention of Lalor? think he looks decent, can take a grab too

And isn't this the issue? Lalor looked like a fit mid version of Stringer in the champs game, and Langford and Draper both look like strong midfieldersDraper looks amazing.
Langford looks amazing.
I understand this is a very even draft, but if we ended up with those 2 lads then I’d be very happy.
Crouch will retireLast 2 weeks I have seen Tim really commit his body at a couple of contests. Swans last qtr threw him self sideways to block an exit.
Have not seen that level of desperation in some time from him.
If he plays like that he is a keeper, if not then Melbourne for a 3rd rounder if we are lucky.
Alison has had long enough.
Gresham at Essendon is well Gresham at Saints...does some really flashy things but lacks general consistency...much happier that we have Henry.
We have to sadly move on at least 5 players, so
Alison.... had his chance
Hayes .....injuries
Campbell.....age and got to let Moose have a proper run.
Jones or Ross can't keep both
Battle.....Free Agency
Patton next on the block if an upgrade comes along. Prefer to see
Bonner delisted ahead of Paton and prefer a young draftee as we know what he brings to the table, but unlikely to happen

Exactly why I love the Lalor pick. He’s the one that doesn’t seem as good as the top few guys but he has the attributes to become a top 5 player in the AFL - Petracca levelsAnd isn't this the issue? Lalor looked like a fit mid version of Stringer in the champs game, and Langford and Draper both look like strong midfielders
Also with Smillie, Smith, FOS, Lindsay, etc and us with potentially 4 & 5 we have the opportunity of launching. Would need to do a lot wrong to f**k this up. My only worry is that this is a once in a decade opportunity and if we go safe and do a Billings and the next one is Bont, don't know if I can cope with that again. Only time will tell I suppose.

I've seen enough from Allison to give him another year. He's been super cheap and will be to retain obviously. Whats the harm in seeing if he produce a full season of games like he has the last 2 weeks? He's probably another 2 quality games in a row away from breaking into the seasons this year.
Was an attempt at a parable illustrating the counter-productive thinking of perpetuating the cycle of allowing a project player enough time to nearly make it (Allison), then cut him just so there's enough room on the list for the next project player (O'Connell in this scenario but could be anyone).What are you talking about? O'Connell Drafted: 2024 Category B Rookie

He is a perfect fit for the Crows' one-paced midfield, can imagine they are all over him - but also talk they are looking to trade out their first rounder, so who knows. Interesting watch depending on where we finish relative to them.That clip at the 2min30sec mark is what makes him in my opinion the best midfielder in this years draft, ball on the line against contest bull Smillie and comes out on top with toughness speed and skill resulting in a goal. It was my ‘wow’ moment. I hope we land him
I still don't see us finishing behind Adelaide, they have a really tough run home. Picks 5 & 6 would mean we take whatever is left in the top pool and maybe don't have to think about it too hard.And isn't this the issue?

Did you see their game against Essendon? Ladder position belies their talent, and with Crouch/Walker back this week and Rankine/Dawson next week, I can see them being ultra competitive in all games.I still don't see us finishing behind Adelaide, they have a really tough run home.
