TDK is going nowhere!
Always been an advocate for drafting talent with early picks, needs with later picks

The more i watch vision of Joe Berry, the more i think he would compliment our list extremely well. He is surprisingly courageous for his height and is rapid. Can crumb extremely well, and is a leftie too. We must take him with our first pick 
Whatever happens we will get a great player with 11. I’d love to see us trade our current 2nd and future second for a pick around the 18-22 mark as I think we could still get an excellent player in this range and would also mean we get ahead of the saints 2nd round pick as I just a feeling that SOS may play funny buggars and make an earlier than expected bid on Ben. Also as much as I love Hotton I imagine the club will steer well clear of injury prone kids at the draft based on everything that has come from the club post season about injury management and list management.

Exactly. Always best available with round 2 picks.
If Lindsay is still available at our pick, I want him

Fine with Lindsay as long as we have addressed our small forwards via trade. Absolutely exceptional kicking skill
Berry if we havent
History tells you, you can pick up great small forwards at every point in the draft
From Cyril, Pickett, to Breust, Betts, Papley

We got lucky with Cripps let's be honest.
Rogers and Hughes used dart boards

According to family at the Pies so does Leppitsch. Lets hope he doesn't end up as good a list manager as he is line coach

Unfortunately there is a McGuane. But he's got nothing on Cody
Ollie hannaford looks good from just the one video. Would be an option with our second pick if not berry with first.

Really fantastic video comparing some of the top small forwards in the draft and discussing their importance in todays game including those mentioned here. Berry, Dattoli, Hannaford, Alger.

I've really liked him on profile and highlights, but took a bit of time to watch more footage of him the other day and thought he seemed to be a bit fumbly. Even in space, with no pressure, he would take 2 or more attempts to pick the ball up cleanly.
How do you see him on that front?
With ball in hand I love him, but I worry that with the way the game is trending on speed and pressure he may struggle to transition to the senior level.

I see him as a flanker or wing at the next level. Mitch Duncan type due to his relatively weak inside game(compared to the best in class) and as you said not the greatest hands below his knees under pressure compared to some of the other prospects. With that said he is a clear best in class re kicking ability imo. Definitely have a place somewhere on the field even if it doesn't end up on ball.

Yes, and recent history tells us our small forwards are suffocated by having to stay too deep and still, waiting for the ball to be plonked on top of Harry or Charlie plus about seven opposition tall defenders. We’ve got no idea how good our small forwards are because they don’t get half the ground to run back into when the ball is going forward in the way that the Brisbane or Geelong forwards get.
Do you think Harvey Langford will be available at around our first pick?
