Why is Draper ranked higher than camporeale (Ben) when Ben had a better year playing in the same teams.After just watching highlight videos of both Lalor and Draper, at 3 it has be to Draper. Lalor didn't stand out in any real way. Medium mid/fwd with no real stand out qualities. Looks ok against kids his age, don't think it would translate to AFL.
Draper has a good frame, burst of pace, and would have a relationship with Campos. Think he's Round 1 material.

How many starts, the perennial question!My 2c re Houston and seriously it is worth only that.
Will he make us better, no doubt! Is he the missing piece to winning a flag?
My 2c, how many "stars" do we need on big money? Cripps, Weiters, Harry, Charlie, TDK, do we need Houston as well on big money? We add Houston, these guys alone would be eating a 1/3 of our cap space based on $15million? Yes we would love Houston, but SDK or May would suit our structure better. We can't have all the stars and I know Vossy is pushing for him but we go back to relying on talent to win games for us on it's own. Structure, fitness and gameplan will see us improve.
Hopefully Inness can keep the majority of our list on the field for longer, a few tweaks to the game plan and I feel we would become the team we are meant to be.
Yep, too much hype and responsibility too young. Same with your namesake actually, who we would dearly like to redraft now and play as the outside mid he was best suited to playing as. Killed me watching them cracking rocks when they were capable of...sculpting marble or somethingThe issue with Gibbs wasn't being played off halfback his first few years. It was after he had that breakout 3rd year as a pure onballer we put him back again, giving him defensive jobs. It seemed his versatility worked against him as he got pushed down the pecking order for those that could only play mid.
That said, Gibbs lacked the competitiveness of the absolute champions. All class but not so much grit. Also, played in some awful teams. If he got drafted to Geelong I'm sure he wins at least 1-2 all australian jumpers.
I never understood this one.... i just reckon they're hosing down the Campo boys...and/or pumping up others (same effect).Why is Draper ranked higher than camporeale (Ben) when Ben had a better year playing in the same teams.

Yep 100%, Cripps has bulldozed a path for those coming through. The immensity of the bloke..Yep. Also Selwood got to go directly into the midfield of a Premiership contender and his career flourished. Gibbs came into a dumpster fire with zero leadership.
The opportunity that Selwood was afforded would be offered to a gun young mid that we draft now. Into the midfield of a Premiership contender with great leadership. It's a great opportunity to create a great player.
Did I say he shouldn't be drafted?Hold on. No real stand out qualities? I mean… I get preferring Draper over Lalor. Beauty is, after all, in the eye of the beholder.
But you are saying that a kid most AFL talent spotters have in the top 5-7 players in the draft has no real stand out qualities?
And you rate Draper’s pace, but see no pace in Lalor?
If he has no real stand out qualities, should he even be drafted?
It’s that good, or that bad?Fans will lose their minds over Draper kicking in my view.
who you got at 3 El Tel?
one of Smith, Lalor, FoS and Draper?
Gibbs and Murphy were also in an envioronment that needed them to play from day 1 and never forced them to earn a spot. both very good players but both could have been more than they were in a different environment, injuries not withstanding
#1 is conditional in WCE not getting a better offer?This is fantasy land stuff. Not happening. Three live options still being considered (none of them involve Moir)
1. Turn 12 and 14 into 3 and some extra Campo points
2. Take 12 and 14 to the draft
3. Trade 12 for Houston and take 14 to the draft (if Pies / Suns / Power falls over)
I rate the likelihood in that order.
Please sir... Can we have some Moir...?Re: Moir
Confidence that his contract (that is already to 2026) will be extended early and out to 2028 or 2029.
Club is super excited by him and looking at how they can better integrate him into the 23 moving forward.
Yeap, from the moment he walked in the doorRe: Moir

Writeups on FOS remind me of Setterfield

The AFL.com article is suggesting a pick slide might help North get Houston, plus keep a selection in the first round. I guess it is similar to West Coast with Baker.
Where is the talk of Moir from???
If you want a good example:
We took Gibbs over Joel Selwood and look at what he achieved let alone be captain of his premiership teams.
Thanks for that Sticks...

North also just can't keep picking elite mids and making others redundant, or they are just on a merry-go-round.
Phillips has already been pushed out of a regular game, Powell gets shunted into different roles. It may just suit them to get 2 players in other positions, rather than one "best available" at 2?
Midfield minutes taken away from young guys. They're not after a top 5 in their bnf in the next year, maybe 2. They're after sustainable growth and development. West coast have their slow older midfielders already to support tbe young guys, norths midfield basically do too plus theyre taking parker already.I'll never understand why clubs like WC, tigs and North aren't all over Kennedy. He'd be top 5 in their B&F next year. He's not a superstar but so much better than the spuds they've currently got in their best 22. And he's a solid citizen and would come cheap.
Baffling.
