Analysis Why pick 4 is the most important selection the club will have in the next decade.

[MrBarry]

If we miss this one, then we miss getting good service from this selection when Dawson and Rankine are at their peak, which is the next 3 years, before they start to tail off.

Rankine trail off in 3 years wtf.... He's just turned 24. He's got 10 years ahead of him.

So much double guessing going on, any of the 4 players will be excellent and we are getting one of them unless our team get too cute by half and reach for a player

Get Smith

Smith better disposal. Draper quicker, more agile, stronger and more intensity both offensively and defensively. Always running hard and at high speed.

I really like (and would be happy with) both. Draper has way too many weapons to be a B grade player though. If he had 15% better disposal he'd probably be a strong argument for number 1 pick. I think he's going at 100 miles an hour all the time and that can affect his disposal, but I wouldn't say he lacks composure. Watching the u18 and sanfl games, I think he improved his decision making and especially handballing.

I also don't think draper's balance is talked up enough. His ability to keep his feet or bounce up off the ground and accelerate is outstanding.

Is next year still untouched by tassie?
