Happy for you to criticise them as much as I am. I take it on board and glad to read what other people think. Hopefully a forum is a pool of different ideas.

Imagine having this kid combined with Jagga Smith or Sid Draper running around for the next 15 years. He is 190cms tall and his quick hands and speed of action are elite.

If we could get this kid with an early 2nd round pick I would be happy. He looks a really natural CHF which is not that common any more.
Tested horrific at the combine so fears he won’t have the speed/athleticism at the next level to match it with the freaks. His draft combine will probably determine how high he gets drafted although been very solid all year.What's the knock on him? Looks to have a decent size and a nice step/awareness around him.
There are quite a lot of good talls in this draft, Faul looks good too. Shanahan looks like a solid old school forward. The Whitlocks look good too. Some nice small forward talent too.
I read somewhere that it was Wayne Hughs who drew Garcia to the clubs attention.
In my mind ( because i've never worked in clubland ) , i'd doubt that the List Manager reads a list of emails sent to him by the scouts and chooses which one to get.
Especially around melbourne i'm sure it would be a case of , " hey Chris, come out to this game on the weekend and see what you think of this Garcia kid "
In fact if your scouts knew their crap you could bluff your way through it all ( Libra ?).
I think Ross has clearly identified he wants to draft and play players who can run all day, or have elite speed. If that's the case Draper may be number 1 target. If he isn't keen on bigger slower midfielders, maybe smillie and lalor aren't our go?
Surely at the top of the draft it’s just best available and they won’t prioritise based on 1 or 2 traits. I think after the first round that’ll be the philosophy (so long as we aren’t targeting KP or a ruck)
He will be right up in our thinking.I'm not getting pissy lol, I just think you're nit-picking at Lalor's deficiencies whilst ignoring Reid's and Langford's
His ceiling is most definitely elite. That’s usually why players get picked in the top 5-10. You don’t draft players inside those picks thinking he’ll be a solid citizen.He hates guys who don’t spread. As long as they can move and win ball he’s happy. Draper is a solid citizen. Looks neat but not in love with him. He’s a bit white bread for some reason. Neat skilled and confident type but doesn’t excite me much, I think he’s a boring low risk pick. Probably ends up at least a good player maybe not quite got elite ceiling or something.

Is why I'm keen on Travaglia with our 2nd rounder. Half back/mid with electric speed and good ball use. I know we're after pure mids, but we should get that with our top picks and he's worth a punt in the second round. Could easily be a classier Jack CrispJust get something with zip we are just soooooo 1 paced in there ..
Massive fan of him, proper footballer. I think we'll be extremely lucky if he's still around for our (Adelaide's) 2nd rounder. I know we need mids but I'm really not sold on any apart from Lalor, and would honestly prefer Travaglia to all the others that I have seen thus far. Only way I think we get him is splitting Battle compo into 2 later first rounders (probably with GC).Is why I'm keen on Travaglia with our 2nd rounder.

This has me a bit flat. Trainor with our natural pick. Most of the cream mids gone before our pick. Lalor is looking like the best of the left overs. Would love multiple picks between 10 and 20. Freo looks well placed.
