[tigs2010]

He's at Melbourne now. If he's into drugs he'd have no regrets

 

[Vassp]

there is no vote for Hopper and TT?
Would be interesting to see opinions now since our situation has changed considerably.

 

[Moonatic77]

Why do you say that?

We've always kept our cards close to our chest come draft time (except that time we welcomed Reece Conca on the club website BEFORE the draft ).

If Draper is worthy we'll pick him.

Even if we don't want him we should send out a lot of rumours through the media that we'll take him at 1. Go over and interview him a few extra times. Ade have a hard on for him and might just offer pick 4 and next years 1st for pick 1. Any other year we probably wouldn't entertain that trade but this is a unique draft year

 

[Serenitylater]

Lalor/Langford combo would be a unbelievable.

Too slow

If Bolton and/or Baker end up at Freo they will be a big watch. Their midfield is very very good. Their key forwards are looking like the best young combo in the league. If it all clicks...

 

[blaisee]

I’m starting to fall in love with Lalor

Has some dusty vibes

If not finn or Smillie I would take him at pick 1

Powerful mid/ fwd match winner

Sound familiar ?

Yeah but...Freo

I hope the club is looking at this overall as a 2yr power rebuild. These look like two great drafts coming up. The first post Covid cadre.

Bring in as much talent as possible over this year and next whist retaining your best matchwinner and best young leader if possible. It will be a neat trick if we can pull it off, allowing Daniel to wander home on a nice day thank you contract and Jack Graham to make one last sacrificial act for the club. Jack Graham that Is.

I will be very hard if we lose Baker because he is my favourite player and real leadership material. Never shirks an issue. Always hunting the ball. Seeing the game and calling the shots. Playing above his weight. A great example of how you want kids to play the game in your colours. Bakes as Captain at 28 could take a bunch of kids somewhere I believe.

Anyway Sid Draper.

Is Pick 4 as valuable as Pick 1 this year ?

He is a tantalising prospect isn't he

I wouldn't be surprised if some teams draft boards have player X at pick one and other teams boards have the same player at 4. It's just that sort of year. If we could extract an extra first next year we should absolutely do it. Who knows, if we managed to make that deal and the Crows had another down year, they'd feel like their on that 2017 post-season camp all over again

 

[tiger_tough]

still cant believe we blew a pick 6 on conca

Was a big and unnecessary reach. Still played 150 games, more than the average for a top 10 pick. 2010 was a woeful draft.

Do you think even with the go home factor?

No idea. Didn't stop us picking McAuliffe. I assume they played u18s together last year?

The problem is 4 is a little late IMO.

Reckon hed last to pick 6?

Yes played Champs together. Think Fawcett did too

 

[RFCGloryJC]

Time for the rebuild.
Also look at the best talent available from GWS & GC.
Impressed by Bergman (PA), coming into his own.

 

[jthanos]

Lalor/Langford combo would be a unbelievable.

if we have 5 picks in the top 25- FOS or Jagga, Lalor or Lindsay, Trevaglia or Berry, Jonty or Shanahan, & Sims or Whitlock, maybe even a Geary from WA if we have 6 picks.

 

[Samuri Pizza Cat]

Speaking to a recruiter at another club he told me out of his team of 8 scouts their are 4 different options

FOS
Smilie
Draper
Trainor

But that doesn’t mean that is our top 4 or will be the first 4 picked

The more I watch FOS and Lalor, the more I see Cotchin and Dusty 2.0

 

[Rocco sifreddi]

Draper and fos either at 1 I'll be happy.

 

[tigs2010]

The more I watch FOS and Lalor, the more I see Cotchin and Dusty 2.0

I will make Groupie_ eat shit or at least some vegetables if Lalor is Dusty 2.0. Petracca at best.

You'd be ecstatic with that...

 

[tigs2010]

Absolutely. Just my way of saying there won't be another Dusty.

 

[Turka]

I couldnt see him going at pick 1, but looks a serious player I wouldn't be upset taking with another pick.

Not sure what that knock on him is as he seems to do everything to a high standard.

I watched Murray v Dandy live…It was like Harvey Langford and Cooper Hynes brought their own Sherrin…Our midfield was invisible, and I rate Joe Berry highly (who was good again) but those two were on another level…

 

[Tigerbob]

Absolutely. Just my way of saying there won't be another Dusty.

Petracca/Rayner hybrid is what I’m viewing Lalor as.

Dusty he is not.
