Why isn’t Draper in the discussion for pick 1?We are not reaching like North may be for Taurus with #2 or even #6
I think in this case, I would like to follow the KISS principle as Draper is both a need for CFC & the best player for CFC at #3 - simples
Same reason Langford isn't. He's not considered the best talent by Richmond (as far as we know) in the draft.Why isn’t Draper in the discussion for pick 1?
I agree with that. But i think Elijah is that pinch hitting mid for us. Sid would allow Walsh to be utilised a bit better/smarter imo. Give him some chopout on the ball.
I don’t think the Tigers are selecting the best available with Lalor at pick 1 they are choosing a Dusty comparison to fill a need coz they have so many picks in the first round and to appease their supporters with Dusty leavingSame reason Langford isn't.

Wonder how much rent Walsh will charge.Looking forward to Wednesday. Seems we get a great young player no matter what, and that feels great for our future. One of Smith, Draper, or FOS and I'm happy.
FOS moves in with Walsh day one and develops a hunger to see him become elite
You’ve answered your own question - Tigers are selecting Lalor. So that leave North for Tauru or Rich for FOSWhy isn’t Draper in the discussion for pick 1?
Tigers rate Lalor is the simple answer. I rate Draper at 1, others have Langford at 1, others Smith, others FOS.I don’t think the Tigers are selecting the best available with Lalor at pick 1 they are choosing a Dusty comparison to fill a need coz they have so many picks in the first round and to appease their supporters with Dusty leaving
I've actually cooled on Elijah a little bit. He tailed off later in the year IMO. His lack of pace and urgency at times took me from excited to cautious. Has the skill and poise, but I'm not counting on him to be an A grader just yet.
I reckon his best spot would be half back. But he'll be a bloody good player imo.I agree. Not banking on him being a star. But i am hoping he will be a classy contributer with a maybe high upside still to come. I sung his praises on here after a series of top games but he pretty much got a bit lax straight after imo. Showed his flaws.
He'll be an interesting watch. I think he'll be a classy utility type playing mostly HF, with some time on ball and wing and HB. He's got weapons and a touch of class.
I reckon his best spot would be half back. His biggest weapons are his ball use and marking. His game against West Coast (yes its West Coast...) was fantastic and some of his best passages of play through the year was opening up the ground at the top of the defensive 50 after getting an outlet pass.
Would slot in nicely in Newmans spot if we can find another option to fill his position at half forward. Which could very well happen if we select FOS with our pick on Wednesday.
At pick 3 I want the best player available, if it’s Sid I’ll be very happy! I just don’t want us to pick a player because he is fast

You are jumping off the wrong horseI've actually cooled on Elijah a little bit. He tailed off later in the year IMO. His lack of pace and urgency at times took me from excited to cautious. Has the skill and poise, but I'm not counting on him to be an A grader just yet.
