He's a KPD at the moment

If the Crows happen to overlook Draper, I hope we pounce. Exactly the type of player we need at the Dees: capable of repeat sprint efforts and gets from contest to contest effectively. In that aspect, and with the aforementioned traits, he suits the modern game as a midfielder with balance who can impact on the way forward.

Watters - didn't last long at the Saints because he was a very ordinary coach and appalling with player relations.

I think Twomey will get solid info on their picks. I don't recall them pulling to many surprises that the media weren't on to. I do think Silvani's record is not great. Some great picks at the high end but certainly more than his share of howlers: L Sumner, S Petrevski-Seton, P Dow (x2), L O'Brien, L Stocker, Z Fisher to name a few.

We should draft him so we have Harry and Clarry Oliver on the list.

I'm not sure it needs to be deducted. The Casey development belongs to Casey, not us and that was a big part of the whole upgrade - for community sporting facilities. For comparison, Deakin Uni received $8.6m to redevelop their oval (to exact MCG specs) and sporting facility to house the cats over summer. That's not counted in their endless handouts for taxpayer park facilities. We've really only received a few mil for the Gosch's oval upgrade.

If the AFL umpires end up being housed at Caulfield, I expect the AFL would stump up a fair amount for that alone.

The filth and the toiges both want Gosch's. It should be an entertaining scrap.

You could probably say the same for Jayden Nguyen, who I've never really heard mentioned

I'm (perhaps wrongly) assuming that if we go into the draft with three picks, we can use them any which way. If we went in with two, that's it. I think it gives us the option of splitting one of our first round picks if a tantalising offer emerges. If it does, we drop can pick 83, if it doesn't we unearth a gem late in the draft.

He better get his skates on and nominate then.

I'd be happy too, but would take Draper if still there in Twomey's scenario.

Matthew Lloyd pumping up the tyres of Harry Armstrong (The Age): Harry Armstrong Haileybury coach and former Essendon champion Matthew Lloyd: “I’ve always said he’s the best mark I’ve seen come through in my time [at Haileybury], which is a big call … but since joining us as a year 10, he’s shown some amazing signs. “He’s very unselfish, hits the ball hard, and times his leads really well. Some [developing] key forwards can be quite placid, but he is aggressive as well and brings everyone down with him. “He’s worked extremely hard on his goalkicking, too. He used to be probably a 50-50 proposition, or even worse, but now he’s closer to seven or eight out of 10.”
