Very ordinary today. Other clubs should not even consider him in the first two rounds.
Chris25, Do you rate Arlo Draper as a medium forward or midfielder? In bigfooty phantom drafts many see him as a x factor medium forward but doubtful about midfield abilities. And at what pick you rate him?

Anyone know if it’s possible to re watch the curtain raiser game from yesterday I missed the first half and wanted to rewatch it but can’t seem to find a link or reply.
Don't think they've put it up on YouTube yet. They put the first game up so hoping they'll put that one up as well.

He looks like an amazing player. However, everyone keeps talking about his speed but it wasn't shown in the video?

I just think we need to draft either big KPF's or big midfielders, we have far too many small, lightweight players on our list.

He looked cooked. Was running around slowly and didn't keep up with the play. Looks to be fitness related for me as he has looked much lively in the past.
I hate to state the obvious but he does not have a left foot.
Playing like that at AFL level you will get eaten alive without a left.
Call me a harsh marker but those highlights weren't that impressive. Those games looked low pressure
If Motlop was a dart board with the bullseye being what we need in a small forward, that dart would take flight and bounce so hard off the metal frame based off that performance.
Road to the draft on you tube with Polson, Hough, has dropped.

I agree, however one can hope it was because Freo told him to sandbag...but that would be unethical and, after all, we are not the Eagles.

Give me the Executive Summary.
Hough is another narrow in the shoulders, looks a few pre-seasons away.
If he does have realistic midfield ability he is much more interesting. We need better midfield depth, and players capable of rotating forward get a premium.
Yeah I thought the same. It was the lack of chase I noticed the most - some of his defensive efforts were pathetic. 3 disposals and no tackles doesn't add up.
Still averaging over a goal a game at League. Only one League game he hasn't kicked a goal. Not too bad for a tiny 17yo. We'll get to see him on the big stage at Optus, and then I assume he'll play in SA.
Agreed and he was just getting the ball away a number of timesCall me a harsh marker but those highlights weren't that impressive. Those games looked low pressure

The package doesn't do him justice because in games it is the frequency with which he consistently with which he gets the ball and then does good things that a highlights package can't show. Some of those highlights are from the first WA versus SA game; if you watch the whole game I think you will find that he was more impressive than that shows up in that snapshot, particularly given SA were under siege much of the game. I haven't seen it yet but he was apparently even more impressive in the second game; again it is the consistency that is really strong coupled with a lot of weaponry that recruiters will really like.
I am not keen on Johnson at our current first pick range anyway but I think even if Erasmus was from a Vic Metro club I would be interested if he was around our first; conversely that is why I think he will go earlier than our pick; one of the other clubs will want to take him because I think he is probably on the heels of the Top 4.

So can you confirm if he has speed or a left kick because to me it looks like he has neither?
He definitely has pace.
On NWM Davo-27 had this to say "Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera is just all class, was ok in the first half, but really helped SA comeback and nearly steal the win".
Admittedly i still haven't seen the first 2/3 but what i saw his i50's we top notch and a large part of why SA almost stole the win. I would expect good thing of him playing on the wings.
