[Miguel Sanchez]

I really wanted Jagga for the Blues. Daylight second.

Willing to listen to offers for Pick 4 before I go. (West Coast need not apply)

Fremantle offer 14 and 30 (or whatever they are now)

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Not enough sorry Miguel Sanchez - I'll just lock in my selection.


PICK 4 - CARLTON - SID DRAPER



FOS seems like the anointed one here, with his family ties to Sam Walsh

, but I think Draper projects as the better player. Has already looked good in the SANFL seniors, has a good frame to build on, and is a dangerous combination of dazzling and professional.



Considered Tauru, but thought it was a bit too big of a gamble here.

STRENGTHS:

• Agility
• Clean hands
• Leadership
• Professionalism
• Speed
• Work rate

IMPROVEMENTS:

• Durability
• End product

The trait which immediately stands out with Draper is his turn of speed. He posted the top agility test time nationwide during the 2023 preseason (7.80 seconds), and it translates on-field where he is near-impossible to lay a hand on. Some of his best action shots this year feature him literally standing on his toes as he darts away at angles which defy belief.

His lightning acceleration makes him an asset in bringing contested ball to the outside. Draper's hands on the inside are supremely clean, and once he recaptured his usual touch as the season wore on, he got to showcase that kind of ability at senior level. He also uses his speed to take the game on in attacking phases, making carving runs through the corridor to set up scores.

Also, feels good taking him pick before Adelaide. You're up eaglevision

 

[eaglevision]

At Pick 5: Adelaide selects Finn O’Sullivan and I can’t type it fast enough. Would have taken him at pick 1. Brilliant on the inside and outside, his top age year was destroyed by unlucky injuries but his all round game is second to none in this cohort after two elite underage years.

Huge tank, fantastic overhead, hard at the ball, excellent decision maker and puts his teammates into space. Loves coming out the front of the contest with poise and kicks goals on the run going inside 50. Runs both ways and fresh off a very good combine demonstrating his strong athletic profile.

A great fit into any midfield in the competition and an absolute steal at pick 5 with an ultra high ceiling.

Knifey Spoony make someone a Demon.

 

[Knifey Spoony]

At pick 6 Melbourne Football Club selects Alix Tauru.

Full write up tomorrow

I believe stallon is next up with North Melbourne

 

[Monocle]

Knifey Spoony just upset The Beggars apple cart.



You can expect an incoming call from Mamma Kane informing you that AFL City Hall wont allow your pick.

It actually wouldn’t surprise me if she’s done the rounds…

 

[stallon]

At pick 7 North Melbourne takes Harry Armstrong

Next best tall on the board after the dees took the guy North have publicly been keen on. Long term partner for for Larkey, should complement Larkey nicely with his athleticism, contested marking and aerial ability.

Fills Norths biggest list hole imo

STRENGTHS:

• Athleticism
• Competitiveness
• Contested marking
• Leading patterns
• Scoreboard impact
• Set shot goalkicking

IMPROVEMENTS:

• Endurance
• Four-quarter consistency

ArdentEagle youre up next
