If the rumoured trade goes down with Adelaide and North
1. Lalor (Tigers)
2. Jagga (Crows)
3. FOS (Blues)
4. Tauru (Kangas)
Are the dees keen on Draper?

Yeah maybe, but I would bet money that there isn't a coach in the league outside of Malthouse that says to their players "go super slow, wait until everyone is set up, then go long down the line and just punch it out of bounds if we can't take a mark".
I wonder how much the players are slowing things up trying not to turn over the ball only to invite defensive pressure?

Clever games being played by Austin to make sure we get FOS at #3?

If Adelaide take Jagga off the board at #2
Genius if we want FOS. The opposite of that if we want Jagga and let it slip.

All I know is all of this leaking to the media means there are plenty of mind games happening between Roos / Blues / Crows.
If the Roos trade down to 4 they are certainly taking Tauru.
I have my fingers crossed for FOS
although we can’t really go wrong.

Smart move by North and the Crows if they do that trade, but still plenty of talent in the top 5 mids

Seeing the highlights, Draper screams as the one we need for the current side most.
Burst speed, looks to play with intensity, runs both ways, has played open age footy. Assuming Lalor isn't available, gut feel is we go Draper.

There’s a lot to like about what he can do, great skills & very talented, moves incredibly well for his size…
I think the couple of years wait on development will be well worth it…

Can we send Charlie out to show Taj a good time on Tuesday night?

But the club that he’d most like to head to is Carlton given his father Trent played 61 games in navy blue and 17 games for Collingwood in his six-year AFL career.
“That would be ideal, I'd love that as well (to head to Carlton),” Hotton said.
“If that could get done somehow, I'd be stoked. I'm a Carlton man.”
If not lets hope GWS take him and we can welcome him home in a few years.

Plenty of talk on here stating Draper is the guy we need going into 2025. I’m not so sure and would believe the club are looking well beyond a sugar hit in 2025.
Langford imo will become the best player from the draft class and screams superstar. Yes, of course he isn’t as quick as many but still can go when required and his possessions are elite.
If we are wanting more speed though, Jagga is a much more complete player than Draper.
My preference assuming Lalor is gone:
Langford
Smith
FOS
I’m not interested in anyone else as a pick 3

If we pick Draper it wont be for a sugar hit. The club will pick who they believe is the best long term player.
I'm with ya Juddy....with the qualifier that if Lalor is still available, he's on the short list.
But either one of Langford, Smith or FOS would have a tent pole in the ol' grundies on draft nite. I've actually got a bit of a leaning toward Jagga over the other two....he's got a fair bit of N Daicos about him mixed in with a dash of Butters, and a sprinkling of Cotchin. Langford and FOS also have massive upside imo, so wouldn't be disapppointed in the slightest with either.
Still not convinced with Sid....sorry, but I'm not.....

Draper is now a sugar hit... A pick 3 18 year old is a sugar hit

No, that’s not what I said! Some posters have said they want him as they believe he can make a big difference to us in 2025. Which he could. I just don’t think he is a top 5 pick and think there’s too many issues in his game to be considered top 3Draper is now a sugar hit... A pick 3 18 year old is a sugar hit

That’s how the media all do the phantom draft (the most accurate ones with the best contacts anyway). They ask all 18 clubs who the others are taking, whilst they all play mind games to mask who they after.
Cal gets the best information from the clubs, It’ll be interesting to see what his phantom is predicting.

Without offending, the caveat is your 2 minute video highlights watching appraisal is that he is not top 3.
My video highlights watching says he fills our greatest need just in front of FoS who is next. Smith doesn't fill any need. Langford is potentially best available at a highlights video guess but we have more pressing needs.

Not offended at all. I’ve seen plenty of Draper over the past 2 years to know his disposal isn’t great and although he has speed and goes in hard, he probably will become a bit of a whipping boy with he and Walsh just bombing it. Then to add to this some health concerns. I’m not saying Draper won’t be a very good player, but he has too many deficiencies imo to be a top 3 pick.
Also, to say Jagga doesn’t fill any need for us clearly is wrong (without offending). The guy will be a Captain of a club and an absolute jet. He oozes class and leadership. All 18 clubs would love to secure him.
