Pick 1...

I am staying the course with Lalor, massive upside IMO and mids that can go forward and kick goals combined with burst from stoppage are GOLD!

Pick 1...
Lets see him back in Coates with his match fitness improved. He's the main one that can join the 4 I posted above but they've got more runs on the board either this year or previous years. Travaglia playing midfield at Coates could push too.
Don’t discount Reid.

Good call re Travaglia, he could be the bolter ( not that isn’t already highly rated).
If he blitzes at the combine re speed, athleticism and as you mention continues to play mid , he’ll be an enticing prospect.
Would like to know the best performed players for metres gained over the carnival, he’d have to be right up there

Combine dosnt do much for the highly rated players.
They basically just cant f it up.

Half way through the 2nd Q yesterday, he was looking the goods, taking pack marks, winning clearances, kicking goals, laying big tackles.
After that he must have run out of juice, probably a fitness issue after missing so much football, maybe managing the groin issues?

I left Marvel yesterday pretty bullish about the quality of the draft.
I've been a bit flat that there is no standout number 1 pick, but I'm now changing my way of thinking and focussing on the fact that we could get a few really handy players with our later picks (late 1st/ early 2nd round picks.)
For some reason, Jagga Smith is criminally underrated on this forum. I'm not sure why. He's slight but he works his backside off, uses the ball well, and finds it at will. Have a look at some of the best mids in the competition at the moment.. Merrett, Daicos, Neale, Butters.. all relatively small but incredibly nimble and know how to get in and out of traffic.
I'd be happy with either Smillie or Jagga with our first pick (hoping this extends to FOS too by the time we get to draft night.)
A few others i'm really excited by and could get them later in the first round:
Finally, I think it's worth touching on the Key Position market which I think is as strong as we've seen in many a year. I think there's a bunch of 4-5 Key Forwards who could really develop into good AFL players in time:
Excited for the next 6 weeks.. hopefully we see a bit more out of our kids and no more injuries.. then a huge off season where we reload.

A few others i'm really excited by and could get them later in the first round:
- Harvey Langford. I can't not see Josh Kelly when watching him play.
- Murphy Reid. Smart footballer who makes things happen, would start as a half forward but evolve into a mid i think.
- Isaac Kako. Has speed and applies manic pressure but he is also deadly in front of goal. I feel like our smalls at the moment are good pressure players but lack the finishing class. He doesnt.
- Xavier Lindsay. Dominated yesterday and was the first real time i've thought Wow! Uses it really well and could slot into a Wing/ HB role pretty quickly (especially if there are a couple of vacant spots next year....)
Finally, I think it's worth touching on the Key Position market which I think is as strong as we've seen in many a year. I think there's a bunch of 4-5 Key Forwards who could really develop into good AFL players in time:
- Jobe Shanahan
- Harry Armstrong
- Jonty Faull
- Jack / Matt Whitlock
- Tom Sims

Who do you like

I like Faull due to the way he competes, but I dont know enough about any of them to be honest. Whoever we get though, must be a competitive beast IMO. Placid KP forwards dont make it.

Crows would love to get Draper.
Pick 4 & F1?

I wonder what his go home factor is like, as he is coming in hot.

Pick 1...
Would have to consider. Draper is the one I currently want though.

He can do a Baker and go home after 2 flags.

Agreed.Draper performing against men has my vote although lets wait and see how Jagga goes in our vfl side and i assume others will get ago at other vfl sides over the next month.

Interesting to see if any of the top rated Vic mids play VFL
SANFL performances certainly adding to Drapers appeal
How am i not handling it? I'm still here bro. Talking at yo jackasses and calling you all out with logic and facts and ya'll sitting there stalking me around the joint like....

Xavier Lindsay showed why he should be locked in as a first round pick with an outstanding performance in the biggest game of this years Champs series. He played on a wing in the first half of the game and showed he has all the attributes and positional knowledge to thrive there, working up and back, finding a stack of the footy and apply immense defensive pressure. He played more onball in the second half where he was effective and competitive. He did have a few costly turnovers, but also some key moments of quality with ball in hand.
