Wow. 
I was initially hoping for Jagga at pick 5, but after watching this highlights package I think Draper has leapfrogged him.

The only thing with Draper is that I just can’t see Adelaide not taking him if he’s still there. He is definitely a top talent and it wouldn’t even surprise me if Richmond take him at pick 2 after this rumoured pick swap with North.

    83 - Slim  

    Would be a great addition, immediately enhances club culture. Get him in.

    I hear he’s a bit of a fat boy.

    5. Hope Draper slides to us but would take Smith - Looking for Round 1 impact and point of difference in our mix.

    9. I am leaning towards Smillie, think if he gets to work in an AFL system he’s a real weapon with his size and kicking - I am ok with him ending up a 195cm HBF with a long and accurate kick if that’s how it shakes out

    Kinda hoping for the flying Viking at 5

    The joint would go into meltdown about not taking a mid at 5. But he reminds me of a young N riewoldt, D Schwarz, P Knights. Blonde haired aerialists. There's just something good about them

    Never fear HT,  a pre-season with Steve Moneghetti will get those skin fold numbers right down.

    Just rewatched a Smith and Langford highlight reel, Langford every day of the week. For some reason I watch Smith and can’t help but think he’s a newer model of Caleb Daniel.

    Pick 5: Smith or Langford

    pick 9: Smillie or Allen 

    If we pick Langford then Allen for pick 9

    If we pick Smith then Smillie for pick 9

    based on these highlights it's hard to see him not being afl-ready 

    it's also hard to see him lasting until our first pick

    5. LALOR/DRAPER/LANGFORD/SMITH

    9. If one of the above is still available take him if not SMILIE/TRAVAGLIA/ALLAN/SHANAHAN

    83. DENNIS

    Exactly what I see BA. I try to tell myself that at least Smith will be a more damaging, upgraded version, but I just can't unsee the same 'posession first' mentality. I'm sure he still would be a good pick up, but there maybe more genuine match winners available at pick 5.

    I see very minimal hurt factor with Jagga. He sure gets a lot of it, but there isn’t much wow factor with his disposals.

    His ability to keep finding the ball is amazing, however. But give me quality over quantity.

    Langford looks like a bloke ready to dominate AFL footy

    Scully used to rack up possessions at junior level too based on his running. 

    Smith looks better but not sure how much. If you don’t have the frame and height you need to be excellent at everything else in the midfield

    I don’t think too many on here consider themselves experts. We’re just mug punters who have watched a handful of u tube clips and have an opinion, an addiction to the game and the MFC. A few would have watched some games live but the majority don’t have the time.

    Watching these clips again make me want Langford and Hynes. The latter is on the end of a lot of Langford's bullets.

    If Langford had pace he'd IMO be so far ahead of any of the others as a number pick 1.

    I think his lack of pace is overstated though. He's got that burst of acceleration when he hits the contest. He's got great hands, a beautiful kick, a great overhead mark and he kicks goals. He's very likely to be an A+ AFL player IMO.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
