Lucas faster than ben, lucas not overly quick but gets around the ground ok, probably ollie quickIn relative term to our existing players, how speedy are the Campo twins?
Both boys are quick. Not lightning, but probably a bit above league average. With decent endurance as well, think their athletic profile is positive. Neither seems particularly inclined to take on the game by foot as a weapon. They are both connectors and sweepers, one inside and one more outside leaning, but capable one on one.In relative term to our existing players, how speedy are the Campo twins?
My personal opinion on who we should take:My opinion on who the club will take:
FOS>Lalor>Draper>Smith
My personal opinion on who we should take:
Draper>Lalor>Smith>FOS
That said I am coming around to the idea of FOS on a half forward flank with rotations on ball. He's the most prolific goal scorer of the group but for me his consistency is just too extreme to overlook.
Would be the perfect fit for us if he ends up as good as he's hyped up to be.

Lucas also finished top 10 in the AFL combine in the standing vertical jump (10th) and running vertical jump (4th) which are handy attributes in overhead marking and contests.Lucas faster than ben, lucas not overly quick but gets around the ground ok, probably ollie quick
No concerns over South Australian. Played with Camporeale boys this year. Played with Moir last year. Durdin from SA, well both for that matter. Gov, Orazio and young Motlop all gave SA links as does development coach Ebert.My personal opinion on who we should take:
Draper>Lombard (bid)>FOS>Smillie>Lalor
Draper is the one, but being a South Australian worries me.
Good luck genuinely assessing that. All play at the coalface. All have their own version of speed. I rate Smith and Draper as better movers in traffic than FOS, but could have a bias. Smith is one of those who weaves through tight traffic without getting an oppo finger on him. Draper is step and burst, for mine FOS is OK on that front, but has more aerial presence and probably scoreboard impact.Draft watchers - Draper is speedy, but how far off is Smith & FOS when compared to Draper for speed?
Wasn’t it Drapers camp reportedly keen for Sid to play for a big Victorian club?Draper is the one, but being a South Australian worries me.
Draper & family all support the Crows and has stated it’s every kids dream to one day play for the club you grow up supporting but is happy to go anywhere.Wasn’t it Drapers camp reportedly keen for Sid to play for a big Victorian club?
Carlton has done pretty well in connecting with SA players (past and present) don’t think that will be an issue.

Not all tested at combine so straight line pace remains a question for mine and given we are looking for an inside player, not the deciding factor.
Hi Wickzki, gonna answer this over here, as it may be more generally interesting for this thread than the phantom draft thread.When did they change that? Used to happen in the draft.
Yeah, I'm with ya....if things go according to script, the Tiggs will land pick 2 from Norf and select Lalor and FOS. Lalor being the Dusty clone who happens to wear #4 - their supporters will drop a big pile of chicken manure from a great height over Punt Rd HQ if they don't.Spot on , flashy speed from stoppages disguises skill errors such as kicking technique, footy IQ, football distribution etc.
If Jagga or Langford are available at our selection either will be great.
IMO rating the mids:
Lalor
Draper
Reid
O'Sullivan
Langford
Lindsay
Smith
Travaglia
Smillie
Allen
I absolutely think we can go wrong. There is always a total bust or two in the top 10 picks and we have been the unfortunate club on several occasions.I'm very opinionated on the matter but taking a step back I really don't think we can go wrong at this pick. All the players in the mix would add to our list short term and long term. Still have my preferences but we are in a great spot.
FOS the biggest question mark as he's arguably the best 'fit' in terms of what strengths he brings, but also the most inconsistent/potential based selection.
I’ll bet you my account vs yours that doesn’t happen. Ridiculous comment.He's slow. Probably one of the slowest in the draft, certainly for his height and weight.
Wouldn't be surprised to see him slip past 10 on the night.
