All excite me, in order; Allan, Reid, Travaglia, Hotton, Berry and Lindsay. All could/will (if selected) play a role in 2025 for Port Adelaide and that is without moving into 10.

Wonder if he comes over with a view to Evans him? Get him in a semi-professional environment with some dedicated high performance strength and conditioning coaches. Get him ripping fit and see if his game holds up 7kgs lighter, see if he gains a yard of speed.
For starters I don't think we should draft but if we do, there's no way he plays defence or wing. It's midfield. We already have enough turnovers in the back half and his best work is in the contest. Not allowing him to use that strength would show him up, as it would for anyone.
I like him as is, think the addiction to speed is a bit much. If he comes in he could try become a player in the mould of Wines. His kicking is weird, but I would say he still hits his short targets. I'm surprised we never trialled him at SANFL. Must really dislike the Francous for some reason haha.
To me it feels more like we do an Evans with Montgomery over Francou although I'd like Francou more
Unless you are an absolute gun you first learn you craft at half back and then morph into the mid-field.
Sure, but him at Half-Back doesnt suit us. If you're telling me that we replace Houston with Allan that would be awful for us. That's a stark difference in disposal efficiency that would affect our ball movement a fair bit. This is why I'm against picking him, I think he's a strong contest player and could be the next Wines but whether I want to spend pick 13 on the next Wines right now is something I'm unsure of.
I would agree, I don't see any traits screaming AFL talent but also happy for him to do an Evans (glad how that's become a term now). For me Barrett over Francou over Burgoyne is my order if I'm really honest. Probably because Burgoyne has had a few injuries but also I see a clear role for Francou at AFL level whereas with Burgoyne I'm more tentative
This guy is elite, love his content. He's done a mock draft for the top 13, with another video for the later first round where our pick is, in the coming days.
A few interesting selections, particularly GWS traing up and taking Lindsay in the top 10, also hotton and Bo allen in the top 12, Indicating Smillie and Reid could be a chance to slide to us.

Only one I’d be unhappy with is Berry.
So you went to the West Adelaide u18s, WWT u18s and Panthers reserves every week to see those guys play?
thats dedication. Good work.

Montgomery needed to move through the midfield more than he did this season.
You are going to hold a afl spot off half back or wing you probably need the class to go though the midfield as a junior.

Thought Montgomery was easily the best performed player of the three who had stints at the Magpies.
Hard to compare against Barrett given he played at a slightly lower level.

Bolted up the draft board after I claimed him in late July. Wasn’t even considered a top 50 pick then. This kid has leadership qualities and character. Never gives up as shown in the TAC GF.
Just my opinion, based on a hunch more than anything.
But has good size to be versatile and has had good results in speed, endurance, agility and jump. His kick doesn’t look that bad to me, definitely plenty to work with as a player.
And has had a taste for it against men in the WAFL.
Not all that common for a first year player to go straight into the guts, but has potential to be part of rotations.
I obviously haven’t watched hours of underage vision, which you seemed to have, hence why you are providing your 2 cents worth on every post on here it seems.

The fact that he has had a taste for it against men is the reason why I would give him a go in the midfield if he was drafted. Normally many dont have that experience hence why its not common to throw them in the guts.
I love the draft and I watch as many of the games as possible every year. I apologise if my posts piss people off, that was never the intention.
Thanks for all that info. Much appreciated. Would luv another Francou playing for Port. Speed off the mark looks OK but as you say he has a weird kicking action.
Thank you very much

We once had a top 10 pick player with a strange kicking technique. Didn’t end well for him.
