Personally, I would not do it. No hesitation, he is not elite. Definitely not worth pick 5. Probably pick 15 and I am generous. Honestly, Greeenwood was better than him in 2020 and seems like a great fit and character. Brad looks like a mercenary. To do cocaine before asking for his largest contract also shows he is dumb. He may get a lot possessions but with little or no damage, disposal is very suspect. He actually had only 1 good season in his career so far!
Also if we would have no injuries like in 2020, who would Crouch replace in the best 22? You can almost lock in Rowell and Anderson in midfield together with Greenwood, Miller.
The same goes with Phillips is we draft him. We could end up like GWS with Caldwell after 2 years of limited opportunies he is leaving.
Just watching the U17 All Stars from last year. Definitely would prioritise drafting Lake over Jefferey.
Jefferey as a back man will be a massive bust as he physically under developed, doesn't know how to actually defend and doesn't really want to defend, just chase kicks.

Jeffrey came along in leaps and bounds this year, reckon he is comfortably better then Lake
Check out this year NAB Under 18 NT All Stars on youtube. Not even close. Jeffrey was easily the best on the ground. He is also bigger and stronger now. Played mostly forward, great marks and set shots, found his teammates with beautiful kicks, worked actually hard. I got excited watching him.
Playing against the best in his age group last year he was exposed big time. Watch the game on YouTube.
Who did Jeffrey play against this year, basically nobodies.
Big risk
On another note I wouldn't mind Thilthorpe at #5 - basically 2MP if 2MP could pick the ball up below his knees, had agility and decent pace.
NT All Stars...how many AFL standard, sorry even NEAFL standard players was he up against?

Lake is as raw as they come, Jeffery is bigger,stronger and faster then Lake. Dominated as a forward this year when he played there for the Wanderers. Kicked multiple bags of 4.
The way he reads the ball and attacks it in the air is very exciting
Lake also played in the game so you can assess their talent. What I saw Jeffrey > Lake but that's just me.

At least Lake challenged himself to relocate to SA to play SANFL level football. The kid is committed to developing... time will tell
so does Thilthorpe actually take a mark a game?
even just 1 single mark will put him ahead of 2MP

I haven’t watched a lot of Jeffrey but would suggest a lot of his value is in ‘talent’ and projection rather than output to date.
he has also played the full ntfl season in the forward line so may have found it difficult adjusting to a backline role in a one off game.
thikk the risk is pretty low given he is effectively free. If we thought both were thatgood we would pick both.
List numbers pending

This never happens, he has selected St Kilda and he will get there
as a bonus them taking him makes it harder for them to come after King

Crows fans are in massive denial. Crouch will get to St.Kilda, he doesn't want to be in Adelaide otherwise he would of accepted the higher contract offer they offered him at the start of the year.
Then welcome to the suns mate, you will fit right in if you ensure you tire significantly in the last 6 games of the season
and yes I am just having a laugh

We have the technology
We Can Rebuild Him.
Kane Cornes and Lloyd saying bombers should chase Ben king and hand over the biggest trade treasure ever.
And they aware he is signed til 2022
And they aware he is signed til 2022
Honestly, it would have to be the biggest swag of picks/players ever. Something like 3 first rounders with 2 in the top 10 or 2 very good to great players. It will never happen while he is under contract.
If I recall correctly that dude suffered some nasty injuries. Had a good leap on him though.
