Which pick range do you reckon he would fall?
Cooper Craig Peters any chance of being drafted?

Turning 24, his time is probably now. I dont see 'it' but you only need one club to like him

Guys like Billy Crofts from the Dogs and Zac Foot from the Sharks could play a role at AFL level. Bombers, Eagles and Tigers should be looking at these types.
Otherwise Tasmania should be looking at these types for their VFL side next year.

He could but he is a dash on the slower and smaller (height size). If he was given the chance I could see him have a Tom Atkins-lite impact.
Ex swans Academy player Angus Anderson was BOG for Sturt today. I was surprised Sydney overlooked him 4 years ago. Has taken him a while to develop (was regularly playing reserves prior to this year), but has gone from strength to strength this year. Booming kick and a point of difference as a mid being 190cm.
Big fan of Alex Holt too, so composed behind the ball and really come of age in the 2nd half of the year.

Be a bit surprised to not see Raso picked up this offseason out of Richmond's VFL. Mostly a mid as a junior but reckon he has a lot of upside after playing this season a lot as a small and running through the middle as a bit of a jumpstart. Especially given imo, a bit of a weak small forward class
With a draft that does not inspire, there may be a few mature age guys selected, especially in the late picks.

Saints could look at Tom Blamires, Wade Derksen & Jackson Voss for list depth & positional needs
Not sure if we are still intending to use Tex Wanganeen as a train on player.

There may well be considerable competition for Derkson: a lot of clubs are looking for a key defender.
Blamires has improved to the point that he should be on an AFL list.

Ive seen almost all of Jacko's games and he well and truly deserves to be on an AFL list.
Saints bonus, they can still nominate him as a father/son, not that he's likely going to attract a national draft bid any ways.
Wouldn't one just DFA list him then?
That would be logical. However, teams might be waiting until after the ND before they show their hands in that regard. That seems to be the norm these days, which makes sense with list spots being so valuable.
Still, I wouldn't mind mind knowing if we were really interested. I think we do need a backup, as we don't have a lot of key defenders. And we are an injury-prone club.
It's not that strong competition for him then
That would seem to be the case. Not sure I understand the reason, to be honest, with a less than stellar draft cohort, but what do I know?
There were rumours that Jacob Blight might be headed to Collingwood, but even they've gone quiet. As a DFA, he can be picked up as easily as Derkson. Yet ... nada.

Jacob Blight seems a no brainer for WCE for mine.
It would seem logical. But not all recruiting decisions are particularly logical. Spock could never have been an AFL recruiter; too much passion involved.

Pretty sure Blight has signed for Subiaco in the WAFL, I think if we didn't sign Young we almost certainly would have picked him up.

After careful consideration can probably understand why Tom Blamires wasn't picked.
Although a nice and neat player, what outstanding AFL attribute does he possess? Whilst quick enough, he isnt lightning for an outside leaning mid, his kicking whilst effective, isnt a weapon like others.
He runs all day so possibly that and spreads well, gets from contest to contest with ease but being a nice and neat player probably only gets you so far. Still think he (and Jackson Voss) deserves a shot at being on an AFL list, perhaps list sizes being too small has denied him that shot

We were both on the Cootee train too!
Very surprised Harry Scott didn’t get an opportunity

I think Blamires could be a good lock down defender in the Afl, yes, he doesnt have penetration with his kicking, chips it around moreso.
