Rumour Bluemour Discussion XXXVII - A return to normalcy

[Carl Tone]

Love Draper and hope we get him, but let’s not get carried away.

A well built 180cm player hardly evokes “frightening” vibes. Would be the smallest of our mids.

Nick Daicos is just 3 or 4 cm taller...

This is good to hear. If a bid came before 38 for Ben I wouldn’t match it and I’d make sure all other clubs knew that.

Great result really. To get another selection mid 30's in this draft is a huge result.

It could be tricky because I expect we rate him a fair bit higher internally

Of course we do. The club has done well to keep it low profile all along.

I'm happy letting everyone know that we wont match it...

As long as we actually would match it. No one can tell me that there are 38 kids in the draft better than Ben. If he wasn't a F/S (and thus other clubs put minimum time into him), and he didn't get iced at the end of the year he would go around pick 20 IMO.

We've just worked hard to have the opportunity to get another top class young midfielder into the club in a draft with a few standouts, there's no need to make your personal preference your identitiy or to make it personal where you disagree.

It’s also not like players are who they are when they come to the club. Development and self improvement play a big part in how good a player becomes

Exactly, and, that we would (IF he progresses well) go hard to bring him ‘home to the blues family’ after a couple of years… so bidder would just develop him for us

Edit: that said, I’d still look at trading up with Bris or * picks around 28-30

Analysis - 2024 National Draft

My top 3 most desired at pick #3 for us, based on our needs are: -LALOR: I think he is potentially the next Petracca, hits the scoreboard, has an excellent mark over head, burst type player, loves to tackle. Naturally attacking in nature in a Dusty, Petracca guise. Would love to know his 20m...

Reading that article, near the bottom, mentioned Jack Martin subbed out injured. Why am i not surprised.
