Then they chuck Nic Naitanui in at first ruck, but keep Jack Watts on a half-forward flank.

Jack could've slipped through to a 4th rounder, really

I know I'm not a recruiter but Sid Draper looks terrific in the videos I've seen, surprised he doesn't seem to be in consideration for pick 1. I'd have him at 1 and Jagga Smith at 2 I reckon.

Yeah I wonder what his drawbacks are compared to others in the top 5/6, he looks very balanced inside-out and works hard defensively as well, very professional, skills seem reasonable. I agree he looks very much a top 3 prospect on face value.

Perhaps footskills aren't a strength of his - although supposedly has worked hard on this - perhaps he is more inside contested and gets a bit lost on the outside despite his athletic attributes.

Tough to choose between him and Rohan Bail.

Agreed. Ashcroft and Draper for me look the two standouts. Smith and FOS the next two.

Only a couple of months ago he was right in the mix with Smith & FOS but narrative was - "would definitely not slip past crows at 4" so no one was really talking about him anymore.

Think the rise of Lalor, Tauru and Langford has just pushed him into the background. Probably also not a coincidence that those 3 are all big body players.

Pretty sure coming into the year and early in the year Jagga was a clear number 1? Crazy he could be there at our pick too. Such an even top 5-6 players.

I think his kicking is pretty good. May not have a left at all but his right looks above average.

Importantly he has the first couple of steps of explosiveness to get free and use it, makes no left less of an issue and can develop it over time.

Dont think he'll ever develop a left if he hasn't by now. He kicks with the outside of his right foot for passes most would kick off their left and is pretty effective at it.

Yeh, I am struggling to see how Draper isn't firmly talked about as a potential number 1. Smith looks a sure thing, but Draper screams out match winner to me.

Hope we can get our hands on Reid or Hotton at 9. Someone who might be able to win a ****en contest forward of the ball other than Melksham would be nice.

Watching our forwards lose contest again and again when the ball bounced out of our D50 last season was comical. Fairly certain we would win like 1 out of every 5-6 50/50 contest.
