In the interests of moving along, and the likelihood that in reality some sort of deal happens. Sure. Happy for you to wait for a response from GWS/Dees if you wish.

Morning all. I’ve just been called in to see my surgeon TODAY. If/when someone bids on Ashcroft - I’ll match. Can someone complete that process for me and let me know what it cost etc. I’ll do the write up later. Cheers, Sheepy.

Would 15 and 16 work for 2?

I'm happy to offer more if you think we can make something work, but understand if our picks aren't high enough. Up to you.

I think with an understanding around pick 6, it would take a big offer.
Obviously I have some names in mind

Fair enough. I don't think GWS can make it work in this scenario without future assets given their list spot situation.
Reckon opposition will be gracious and bid around 4 or 5, it’s the acceptable Father and Son bidding decorum.

So you want to offer something crazy or should I just complete the deal?

Pick 3: RICHMOND - Sam Lalor - GWV Rebels - 188cm - Midfielder/Forward
No real surprises, has been associated with Richmond's pick 1. I preferred the consistency and "runs on the board" of Smith for that pick, but trading up to pick 2 (3) allows the Tigers to get the bigger-bodied Lalor to complement Smith. Likened to the recently retired Tiger favourite, Dustin Martin (no pressure Sam!), Lalor is a midfield bull. Where Smith evades tackles, Lalor runs through them, his power and explosiveness through the contest will be exciting to watch in coming years. Strong overhead, he becomes a danger when moved forward. Biggest concern is the high-grade hamstring injury that hampered his 2024 season, will need to be carefully managed in coming years. The injury also meant we didn't see as much of Sam as we'd have liked, but when he did get on the field, ticked all the boxes. Expect to start his career spending more time forward of the ball, with bursts in the middle. Like Smith, should be managed through 2025, with 10-15 matches.
Other considerations at this pick: Finn O'Sullivan, Harvey Langford.

Sam Lalor Draft Profile
GWV Rebels prospect Sam Lalor is a powerful midfielder-forward who is seldom beaten for strength and can hit the scoreboard.

Carlton Pick 4 - Harvey Langford
Dandenong Stingrays/Vic Country
MID, 190cm
Langford is the big-bodied goalkicker, adept at taking contested marks around the ground and using his booming left boot to break down defences. Langford's point of difference height and skillset adds to us straight away. He’s a one touch player which I rate highly
Being a Victorian helps
Many will want Draper (Lalor was my first choice) but IMO this kid is meant for AFL and his kicking is what we need. Kicks goals as well
Will walk into Round One side

Pick 5: ADELAIDE – Sid Draper – South Adelaide / SA - 180cm - Midfielder
No surprises here, Sid Draper is South Australia’s top prospect in this year’s draft but more importantly he fills a vital need for the Crows. Draper has all the qualities needed to complement Adelaide’s midfield including pace, evasiveness, power and burst out of stoppages. Early days but Draper has drawn comparisons to Zak Butters with his speed and power coming out of stoppages.
Draper's CV over the past two years is very impressive. Sid won his state’s MVP award as a bottom-age player at the U18 national championships last year. This year he had a delayed start to the season having to overcome a stress fracture in his shin. But then went bang in the second half of this season. Returning to to the U18 national championships mid-year, Draper again captained SA and showed acceleration and power away from contests.
He then went bang, bang and stepped up playing 6 games in the seniors for South Adelaide averaging 23 disposals, 5 clearances and 6 tackles – included an impressive round 14 game where he collected 27 disposals, nine clearances, 11 ground ball gets and 10 tackles!
Sid will be a future leader of the club, and the Crows will take about 10 nano seconds to call out his name.
