Seeing some comparing Lalor to mid/forward premiums like Trac and Martin but I just don't see it. If you watch their highlights from their draft year, the latter two, particularly Trac, already had way more agility and midfield nous than Lalor. If anything Lalor projects as a kind of general forward version of Tom Papley.

I think I’m sold on Jagga.
This kid has got some moves.
Failing that, Draper, FOS, or Lalor all looking like they have ‘it’.
But, yeah, Jagga if he’s there at 3.

From limited viewing, Reid looks a bit Parish-y to me. I'm sure he'll be a good footballer but doesn't look overly damaging.
Whos on first

Jagga also wore 7Mystery solved
Sid Draper wore 7 for SA
We traded Kennedy for a reason
Don't see those two as standouts at all.
Smith & Draper and Langford are all very close

Not actually Brad Fisher
TDK is class but still has some way to go to catch up to English. Besides, they could've played in the same team very well.

I think Smith is the stand out. High ceiling, high floor, great attributes, well rounded, and has already proven he’s above the level in the VFL
Nailed on DerWayne will say "he's got the moves like Jagger" in his first game commentating.
Chances are any commentator will do it early in fairness, but he especially is $1.01.
Anyone saying Jagga should not be prioritised based on his light build...
My god this may sound rude but weight rooms do exist for this very reason if you weren't aware.
AFL players can put on 5-6kg of muscle across 12-18 months easily with a professional diet and weight routine.
It should be the least of our worries.
He's the number 1 player in the draft by a mile.

More. Proper environment diet and sport as their job. Plus being young
They could do 10+ kg a year easy (as a uni student I did 20kg (12+8) in 24mnths. Very low base tho
)Thing is, reckon jagga goes before our pick
I would be very happy if Carlton drafts either one.
Papley? Id say Lalor is a less explosive version of Raynor

Which one of the mids is most Sam Mitchell. Don't care about pace I want a fast of mind and amazing kick with bony ass elbows and hard to tackle. Give me that midfield visionary so Cripps can bull Walsh can receive and run and Cerra can sweep

In terms of the side step id say O Sullivan but no one’s really like him. Maybe Murphy Reid
It won’t be rendered useless, we’ll future trade it when/if a bid comes in before it and quite likely then trade back in once we’ve got Ben

I think he's there for us. Unless Richmond are playing some crafty games, all the talk is that they like O'Sullivan and Lalor should they end up with the first two picks in the draft.
Think it's unlikely North keep two given the last thing they need is more mids. If they do, I'd say Langford might be their play considering he's more forward/mid hybrid.
Melbourne and St Kilda the other candidates to trade up - think Melbourne probably start future-proofing against another possible Oliver and Petracca meltdown next year, so Lalor or Langford as big bodies would be good options. St Kilda I'd say are the danger, they're the most likely to just go "best available" without any regard for type, given their list is reasonably balanced but full of ordinary players.
Richmond clearly best placed to get the pick given the volume and spread of picks they have this year.
Melbourne might find it hard given they only have 5 and 9...they'd have to really desperately want someone to trade those two picks for Pick 2, and seeing as they could get a Langford type at 5 anyway I doubt they bother.
St Kilda are awkwardly placed, 7 and 8 is over for 2, their next pick is 32 and probably doesn't interest NM much, and North go from 2 to 62 so don't have much this year to balance a trade.
Melbourne and St Kilda would, I think, have to use future picks in some way, and given the unrest at Melbourne (and their lack of a future first rounder) and the perpetual shitness at St Kilda, they might be averse to trading away good picks from next year's draft.

I see a bit of Davies-Uniacke I reckon. Maybe Elliot Yeo? Fine player, but he's definitely a step down from the Martins and Petraccas of the comp in terms of "explosiveness". Lalor's field kicking is also well short of Martin and Petracca, both of whom are genuinely excellent by foot.
Yeh I think he'll be gone by 3 also.More. Proper environment diet and sport as their job. Plus being young

20kg in a year is wild. How many calories were you eating a day?

All of them
How BC has dropped in the phantoms is insane. U18 AA, best player in the U17 game last year. Everyone is looking for the next DeGoey or Tracc. Carlton pick Cunners over Dunkley for this reason looking for X factor over the guaranteed best 22.
