Your fishing expedition has come up with no bites champ. Move along.
Cool story.Draper is the #1 preference on the Eagles board ATM.
Perfect type mid to complement the bigger mids already drafted.
So if the Eagles dont get tempted to split that is the logical pick.
Okay, then we'll take Lalor or O'Sullivan.Id imagine we take Draper if hes still available at pick 3
Yep, seems smart.Draper is the #1 preference on the Eagles board ATM.
Perfect type mid to complement the bigger mids already drafted.

Cool story.
Who knows, we might not even have a first round pick and trade it for an established player.Stories that hold elements of logic often are.
So it is totally up to the Crows just how much they want to land Draper.
I can see them trading for North's Pick 2 to land him.
North get pick 4 and take Trainor plus extras.
Top 3 ranked home grown talent doesn't come along too often.
Draper's a good prospect but no one's losing sleep over not getting him and a trade up just won't happen. There's a big group of players we'd be happy to see come here, guys like Lalor and Langford probably have more fans on this board than Draper, who has concerns over disposal polish. You read the room wrong.Stories that hold elements of logic often are.

You're so deep.Time will tell won't it.
You're so deep.
Yeah, no there's not.It's more polite than saying I think you dont really know and are hoping its the case.
Fair gap currently between Draper and those other mids you mentioned.
Let's put it this way, the hype on Draper is nothing compared to the hype on Curtin.It's more polite than saying I think you dont really know and are hoping its the case.
Fair gap currently between Draper and those other mids you mentioned.
Let's put it this way, the hype on Draper is nothing compared to the hype on Curtin.
Why would we lose the bigger talent, to secure lesser one?
Well, West Coast viewed Curtin as the second best player in last year's draft, and by offering what most expected to be the number 1 pick this year for him, it's an admission that they rate him over this year's draft as well.Has the Draper hype peaked? Unknown
Has the Curtin hype been proven to be false? Certainly hasn't been proven correct.
What will the Crows need to do to get Lukosius and Neale-Bullen?
Those are the factors in the mix here.
Won't be surprised which way it goes.

The hype on Curtin has gone any lower, and WC still love him.
If I had to pick between Draper and Curtin, it's Curtin easy. There's more Sid Draper types in each draft than Curtin types.
It doesn't matter, you were still giving up the chance to get the best player in the draft for Curtin.The F1st offered required Curtin plus picks.
It wasn't a simple straight swap. That was confirmed on the Eagles board.
What were these additional picks? Most think it was a straight swap of F1 for pick 7.The F1st offered required Curtin pick 7 plus additional picks.
It wasn't a simple straight swap. That was confirmed for us on the Eagles board.
And the interest from the Eagles likely remains. Crows know that.
So if in the future the Crows need to generate picks for players they rate higher than Curtin potentially they make a call to see what can be done.
In the mean time Eagles keep sending him birthday cards and let him know he is always welcome back home.
Future 1st for Pick 7 + your future 2ndWhat were these additional picks? Most think it was a straight swap of F1 for pick 7.
We already traded our F2 to GWS to get this pick which West Coast also tried to get from GWS but they rejected the same offer and traded with us.Future 1st for Pick 7 + your future 2nd
So essentially
Pick 7 and 26 for pick 3
Great talent sure, west coast wanted him sure, in terms of hype I do believe a decent part of it was overblown in the media in the hope West Coast would make the mistake of overvaluing the home grown talent which was never going to happen.Let's put it this way, the hype on Draper is nothing compared to the hype on Curtin.

But WCE came to the crows AFTER they had secured the pick from GWS ad we had already traded out our F2 by that time. I am pretty sure it was a straight swap of the pick for Curtin for your F1 and whilst I would love to have had 2 bites at the top end of this draft, I's rather be keeping Curtin personally as he is going to be something specialThats why the deal didn't happen.
Parties couldn't agree.
So to say the Eagles offered a future 1st as a straight swap wasn't the case.
