He also has Tauru going to the Roos at 2 and Langford going to the Crows at 4

If this prediction came to fruition, I'm drooling at the thought of us being able to choose from Draper, FOS or Lalor. Would definitely be picking one of those three ahead of Jagga.

I’m just enjoying that nobody seems to know anything about anything. Makes this time a lot more fun with endless possibilities and opinions.

It’s a strong article and the journalist does know the footy youngsters quite well. I guess if footy journalism is your profession, you need to do some research.
 

I’d be amazed if the Crows picked Langford ahead of Draper.  But stranger things have happened!! 

It’s actually a good “40”.  In fact it showcases how much talent and how deep this draft goes.  
Players of high quality even outside this “40” are : 
Kayle Gerryn - tall fwd/ruck - WA West Perth.  
Harry O'Farrell - tall def - Calder.
Lachie Jacques - running half back - Geelong.
Nathaniel Sulzberger - tall midfielder- Sandringham/  Tassie.  
Jack Ough - tall midfielder - GWV.
Josh Murphy - tall forward - Murray.  
These guys should also be mid to late second round picks or at worst early third round picks.

Pick 5 I want a tall, well built mid.

Both Cripps and Bontempelli pre-draft profiles are particularly similar to Langford and Smillie. However the slightly shorter more versatile Lalor edges both out for me.

These 3 can also hit the scoreboard regularly which besides Trac we desperately need as well as to add some youth to an ageing midfield profile.

As for 11 I hope say Smillie slips. If not next best mid available. Hotton sounds like a potential gun.

Interesting that Cooper Hynes gets a mentioned of an interest with our second pick....

His profile does read very nicely.

Links to Travaliga and a new one, Jack Whitlock too

It would be a reach at 9 but I don’t mind it as he could have a very high ceiling and looks a JT pick 

He could be a consideration if we take a smaller mid like Smith or Draper at 5 and Langford and Smilie are gone

No guarantees that we’ll pick one but I think it’s safe to say we’ve done a good hard look at the key forwards in this draft, and the medium forwards like Hynes too.

I don’t want to use a top 10 pick on him but Whitlock/s (both of them really) forward/ruck versatility would be handy.

Not getting enough respect in my opinion. Runner up in the Morrish medal behind Lindsay. Club co-captain. Best mates with Langford, could JT pull the trigger. 
 Have met him a few times as he is from down my way and is going out with a girl I coach. A good size and frame also a real grounded, level headed kid. Yes we have spoken to him several times.
