Agreed and I’m really loving Lalor too gives me Dusty/Petracca vibes!! FOS will be a special player too, so many great options which is really exciting
Absolutely he is. More balanced, more pace than the other couple. Good relationship with the Camporeale boys will help any transition.
I’d be making Adelaide totally feel we’ll be taking him if still there, I reckon they’ll do a deal on the day of the draft if Draper is still there at our pick

Not you
Was there any thoughts on who we're looking at?
Pick 1 - Levi
Pick 2 - Lalor
Pick 3 - FOS
Pick 4 - What do we pick in this spot?

Not specifically, he separated the 7 mids into 2 groups, Smith, FOS, Draper, Lalor and then slightly behind Reid, Langford and Smilie.

Pick 3
Speed!!
Two way running ie can defend as well as attack
Can handle AFL level asap
Leg speed, agility or smarts to clear a contest
Can mark the ball (big bug bear of mine with the modern player)
Intelligence!!! Remember Lance? One of the smartest players ever!
Good bloke would be nice too. You know. Fits in. Always handy.
And lastly but certainly not the least. Disposal efficiency and effectiveness
Over to you Mr Austin if you please

He nominates three and, in order with his Blues' glasses on, choses Draper, Lalor then FOS.
Exactly, he is the best by far. Numbers outstanding, even as a 16 y.o playing against the best 18y.o in the country had better numbers than the others do now. But the numbers don't reflect the bigger gap in the ability to create time through his agility and evasion. Makes his possessions more impactful then the others like Lalor. Lalor we already have, big strong competitive first receiver and distributor, threat up forward. We have that.
O'Sullivan and Lalor numbers don't stack up. Impact doesn't stack up vs. Draper.
Drapers kicking is far superior. Ability to put it on the button much more than the other two.
Pace is electric. Football watchers over there say he's had the best underage years since Gibbs.
People can say others we're injured but so was Draper coming into Champs, others wilted, underperformed because of injury, not him though. He still produced outstanding games. Show's resilience.
He's going to be something special, if Austin moved up to get him he's done very well and is sharp on this one.
If he has moved up to get O'Sullivan he is a peanut of the highest order.
Don't f this up Austin and co. 2 drafts worth of picks and a player given up for nothing depend on this pick and it has to be Draper. He is also the most ready to go because of this speed and agility, like N.Daicos.
Kid will be far better than Harley Reid. Also has played with the Campo twins, it has come together nicely.
Stars have aligned. Please don't f it up Blues.
The only reason to give up those split picks would be him. Players in those 10-20 picks will be better than some of these top 5 names.

So we currently have 63, 68, 69 and 72. If we assume they all come in roughly 10 picks each because of academy bids it leaves us with 53, 58, 59 and 62. In total that is 684 points. If you take into account a 20% discount for father son we have ~855 points to work in total with which is valued around ~ pick 22. Is that correct?

It’s really interesting because I like the look of Langford.

Yes. Left footer with some outside play and great use. Can’t see why not.
