Great analysis Dylan, one thing worth noting with Draper as someone who has watched him live for most of the season is that he has really high level scoring ability and versatility. He starts most games as a half forward, rotating into the centre at the mid way point of quarters. He has a huge work rate and covers the ground very well. He has an impact all over the ground regardless of if he’s just playing at centre bounces or solely as a mid. A lot of the time when he’s playing at HF he pushes up as an extra at stoppages and just explodes. Would love to see the crows steal him at pick 4 if he’s there.
@@catattack_2754 yeah good points! I haven’t watched him as intimately as some of the others. He missed the academy games with injury and then was eased back through the national champs. So I’ve never really seen him play as a fwd. he definitely has a few more weapons than the average mid with his explosiveness and top speed!
Nice content and good idea, not surprised Sid Draper ranks highly. Even though his versatility isn't super amazing I still think he's the best fit for West Coast if they can't steal FOS
Another great video Dylan. Best afl content period. I think you’ve already explained that you think FOS is probably Richmond’s best choice at number one and I’m aware of Jagga’s limitations in terms of kicking, metres gained, and handballing off to teammates instead of striking himself but when I think about what Richmond has currently: slower bigger bodied mids: Taranto, Prestia, Ross and hopper, I can’t help but feel Jagga provides the mechanics they need to get the ball and feed it out of stoppages. Would you agree? Or is FOS and Lalor (the two heavily rumoured to be Richmond recruiters favourites now) going to work better in the current midfield structure the tigers have?
@@DylanAlexanderFollowsDraft No chance 4 or 5 in the top 10? If Baker, Bolton, Rioli, Lynch all leave. Gotta be huge room in the salary cap with all the retirements too. Haven’t been this interested in a draft since Dusty went at number 3.
Thanks, great work! Appreciate. Hoping Adelaide will take Draper but it looks like a Reid or O'Sullivan could also be an option. We have waited 6 years to draft an A-Grade midfielder, since the McAsey debacle.
Great analysis. If North can’t get FOS with 2. Do you think a trade with Richmond is possible for 6 (Rioli deal) and maybe 17 ? It would give north an extra pick in the top 25. Or do you think there is another mid that is a great fit for us ? I worry about smilie and Langfords speed with North. We are very slow in transition already
Yeah that’s a great shout actually, I never made that connection! I’m hanging out for the combine so we get the new heights! Reckon FOS is closer to Day now!
@@Adventurous724 thank you 🙏 it’s funny you say that! I wanted to put him in but he was 11th and I had to cap it somewhere 😂 I absolutely love Taj Hotton so I think the matrix would be kind to him! So athletic and such a creative player! I can’t wait to find out what sort of athlete he turns into. He’s a little lightweight atm but I could see him being an Isaac Rankine type!
Luv the matrix. As an Eagles member with pick 3 I am hoping we get Sid Draper because I think FOS and Jagga Smith will be the top 2 maybe Levi 3 and we get Draper at 4. 🤞💙💛
do you think with the re emergence of the NGA picks is the AFL's response to grass roots and asking clubs to invest more into the academy? Draft get more compromised but more talent is developed
@@bacillus5 yeah the motivation is really interesting! Of course in the northern states it’s about growing the game. I think the NGA changes, it’s a split between giving Victorian clubs an incentive to grow the game in non traditional communities but also a way to appease their frustrations to the northern academies. I guess the issue with NGA is, each club gets a geographical zone to work within and some zones are probably more favourable than others, So certain clubs would see bigger upside. Personally, I like the restrictions lifted because it encourages clubs to look at different avenues to improve and if that means growing the game, it’s a plus aswell! There’s never really a way of making things completely fair because clubs with more resources will always spend more effectively anyway.
@@rationalroman3705 good question! I’d still favour mids with the top, top picks! Particularly this draft! I’d be: 1. FOS 6. Sam Lalor (if you can get him there) 9. Murphy Reid 12. Tobie Travaglia 17. Key fwd I’d do something like that off the top of my head! Would be a nice balance, of Lalor’s size and power, Fos athleticism and running ability and Reid’s skill.
@@DylanAlexanderFollowsDraft We might get both, especially if we can get our hands on West Coast pick number 3 by trading up. I would be surprised if North took either FOS or Jagga. they need a key forward/defender and already have a stacked young midfield.
@@metallewd3472 yeah, I tried to tick some boxes with that, hands and obv he scored 5 for versatility which is to do with his marking but I didn’t include because it’s not a primary stat line for a mid.
@@bacillus5 not to give you a shit answer but it’s hard compare them like for like because they’re so different but I’ll try to compare the apples with apples etc. I think Daicos is the best player in the comp at the 2nd category in my list. Which is essentially, the ball coming off hands and hitting the ground, he’ll react and arrive first more than anybody else. Jagga has this, he’s best in this draft class by far at that. The big difference between he and Daicos is the ball use by foot. He has less penetration and control by foot than Daicos which makes Daicos a better package. So id judge Jagga as a Daicos type, his ball winning is as good but certainly sub Daicos overall. Harley and JHF are more forcefull! They get to the ball drop less than a Jagga or a Daicos, but when they do, they can run straight at goal and they’ll take some stopping so they draw players towards them that opens up gaps. They’re so direct that they get the ball to goal so quickly and it’s harder to defend! This can be more damaging than a Daicos type but it’s also less control. So different players imo. I think FOS is almost in a category of his own up against these guys, he’s a bit explosive like Harley JHF but he’s nowhere near as strong, he’s really penetrative by foot like them but he’s also a better runner than those guys so he can be more of a death by a thousand cuts type player as well as having explosiveness and damage. In the end, it comes down to what you value! I really like the FOS package because he gives you a wide variety of attributes, he’s just probably not the absolute best at any one thing. Hope this helps!
@@DylanAlexanderFollowsDraft great answer! I know you said you will be doing a tigers rebuild video. So I am looking forward to see how you would recruit to compliment FOS. Obviously a pairing of Jagga and FOS would be the dream its like they are meant to play together. But I cant see jagga getting to pick 6 ... so maybe Jagga at 1 and Smillie at 6? best of both worlds
@@tmc3980 not particularly, he’s a high impact player so i’d be happy for him to get 20-25. I think when he gets his body right, he’ll get better there. Even someone like a Harley last year averaged under 20 a game.
Josh Smillie is a HUGE question mark. He is a big bodied player, but when you're playing with teenagers and your body is more advanced Development wise, it is easy to get caught up in his power and strength. I think that is the reason why he won't be No 1, Smillies strengths (power, strength) will be viewed as already at his 'ceiling'. It's his burst away speed and finishing will need work at AFL level.
@@BigCatinBKK in this context, I was talking about the ball being in dispute at clearance for example and the midfielder being able to find the ball! Jagga smith is inevitable in that sense. :)
@@DylanAlexanderFollowsDraft Proof of the media's bias against poor WA footballers. Everyone knows Bo Allen should be the clear number 1 but the media are working against him and won't even take a photo to promote him. All part of a conspiracy to make sure another Vic lad goes #1.😆
@@unitedpawnbrokers1180 yeah I agree! He’s such an athlete, perhaps even has more upside than some of the other big bodied mids like Langford, Smillie Hynes.
Murphy Reid was voted Vic Metro’s MVP ahead of Smith and Ashcroft. He’s a better user than both and is a goal kicker unlike those two. You should watch him play.
Yeah fair, I feel IQ is a little bit broad spectrum though. I had a metric called decision making and also a lot of the other metrics incorporate IQ because if you consistently find the footy on transition you’re probably getting to the right spots and the way a player wins clearance can inform Their iq.

Crows will get him if they're willing to play ball with west coast like they did last year with Dan Curtin. 😂

Gotta be fos or jagga if we don’t split the pick surely
As a tiger I would definitely swap 6 for ur 2 we both want Fin O’Sullivan and Jagga Smith it would be a dream duo but i would also want Langford
FOS Reminds me of Will Day a bit also
Yeah that’s a great shout actually, I never made that connection! I’m hanging out for the combine so we get the new heights! Reckon FOS is closer to Day now!

Ideally tigs take FOS or Jagga pick 1 and then Lalor/smillie/Langford pick 6 (if we get that for rioli)

We will get that for Rioli plus another first rounder.
