Cal T. did recently link us to these 3 players, but if this is accurate, I hope we do pick Langford.

I reckon Langford is our number 1 priority but it will be dependent on what Adelaide do

Allan would be an excellent addition at 9.  He has good athletic ability and strong build.  Can play half back and then into midfield role (like Riv is doing).

You’ve got me a bit worried now. I’m hoping we draft one of the “top 5” ranked mids at 5. I would be happy with Allan at 9 though.

Pick 5: Langford

Split 9 and hopefully take Hynes and J Whitlock

Or

Pick 5 Tauru

Split pick 9 and take Hynes and Hotton

Concerns over kicking is probably the biggest knock on Allan, though. I’m big on the kid and he’s by far my preference at pick 9, but seems redundant to overlook Draper, whose agility and evasiveness is immense, because of concerns re his kicking, but reach on someone who also has kicking issues, but doesn’t probably have the same ceiling that Draper has. 

Who has concerns over his kicking?

Edit : I missed your earlier post.

From his highlights his kicking wasn’t too bad.

We better not pick Allan, our pick 5 better be one of Langford, Smith or Lalor 

[Young Angus 780]

We can take one of Lalor, Smith, Langford, FOS or Draper why the heck wouldn’t we take one of these five…put Taru in there too not that we should, if we don’t end up with one of those at 5 I’m sure I won’t be the only one who’s more than annoyed.

Hard to pick them if they are not there

In tomorrow's West Australia. 

The other wingman in West Australia, Bo Allan, is also on the Eagles’ radar, but Richmond and Melbourne all have a strong interest in the Peel Thunder product and have picks before West Coast.

I just watched Allen's highlights and there's some good attributes there. Solid in the air and physically he looks close to AFL ready. I wouldn't be upset if we snag him at pick 9. Hopefully the 'go-home factor' isn't an issue.

Not sure Allan will still be there at 9

Flight risk?

They are all flights risks when the WA clubs offer them such big money. Even more so when they are guns (which is what Jason Taylor drafts more often than not)

Who knows but you take the best player and move in. 1st rounders are also locked in for 3 years now

if he is excellent as an AFL player and later wants to go home, you get a first round pick and something else.  So It's not much of a gamble.
