We have two spots we could use or even three if we chose to out Soldo on the LTI.
I expect we'll save at least one spot for the midseason draft though.

Nicholas Couroupis - Cant see much on him
looks like the player we have been hiding for 3 years

SPP it is, we have 2 spots, tho with Soldo possibly going to the inactive list "formerly LTI list" it could open up a 3rd if they all "train the house down"
Whilst his profile bio reads like he will be a kpp with his height and weight combined with his birthdate and possibility to add another 2-3 cm to his height he could be 194 in 2 years time. But most of what i have read is that there is significant midfield ability could become a big mid
Whilst he has a reasonable amount of pace it also looks like he is a bit like Jack Graham where he is not so fast in the first 5-6mtrs but powers on after that.
Great Rookie prospect and you never know he may just be the bait that catches the bigger fish whilst being good himself
Im glad the club is looking outside the box with some of these picks/players
He has strong tiger bloodlines too. His dad is General Lee’s cousin.
This young lad sounds alright, I'm excited.
#21 Nicholas Couroupis
Couroupis was one of the Bloods’ best midfielders with 19 disposals, seven clearances and four tackles in this match. He collected plenty of contested possessions at stoppages and used his explosiveness to break away from the contests. His lateral vision is outstanding for a young player, as he found targets that many would not see and used lengthy handballs to clear congestion and give his teammates space to work into.

Just found another snippet on him, he has a crack.
SCOUTING NOTES
West Adelaide:#4 Nicholas Couroupis
The hard-nosed inside midfielder was part of a young trio of Bloods to feature at the centre bounces, but he also did some nice work away from the coalface. In his fifth-consecutive Reserves outing since entering the grade, Couroupis was able to showcase his admirable defensive work-rate and ability to impact aerially, using his courage and vertical leap to reel in a couple of nice marks. He provided a safe outlet in the back half when a hold in possession was required, but also attacked the ball hard in open play and came out better for it. This was most evident in the final term, as Couroupis straight-lined the ball between three opponents, burst free, and delivered a goal assist to Tyler Harris, who was free inside 50.

Sounds very much like out type of midfielder. Explosive away from contests, lengthy handballs to clear congestion.
i believe we are hoping he will turn his back on the NBA for the more prestigous opportunity to join the Tigers rookie list.
185cm 85kg 26/12/01
Missed most of his draft year and the year prior with stress fractures in his back. He's 19 now and this year is the first time in a long time he's been able to play consistent games.
Just found another snippet on him, he has a crack.

Ohh i like that part
But reading that article and looking to see he was not in the best players for the blood's was disappointing
Will be interested to see how Ugle Hagan goes. Wasn’t entirely sold on him being number 1. Lot of talent but looked a bit of a one trick pony to me at times as a junior. It’s not as easy at AFL level being such a predominantly lead up forward.
He’ll probably be ok (kicked 5 in a practice game 4 weeks ago) but hearing his 2 real time VFL games have been a bit disappointing.
Will be an interesting watch.

Heh heh heh.
Well, this year the changes to the game have benefited lead ups, so who knows.
He also tracking with Mia Fevola which wont help either .... she near ruined Daniel.
