A week to go until the big dance. Let's see who can drop a tee-shot near the cup.

I'll have a blind shot at it.

ROUND ONE

1. Greater Western Sydney - Whitfield

2. Greater Western Sydney - Toumpas

3. Greater Western Sydney - Plowman

4. Melbourne (GWS compensation - Tom Scully) - Wines

5. Western Bulldogs - O’Rourke

6. Western Bulldogs (GWS compensation - Callan Ward) - Kristian Jaksch

7. Port Adelaide - Brodie Grundy

8. Brisbane Lions - Jake Stringer

9. Richmond - Jackson Macrae

10. Essendon (father-son selection committed to Joe Daniher)

I want to pose another question, what would the top 10 look like if the draft wasn't compromised, i.e no 17 year old selections last year and no father son.

So the actual ten best undrafted 18 year olds in order, as opposed to factoring in club selections.

Would it be something like:

1. Whitfield

2. Daniher

3. O'Meara

4. Toumpas

5. Crouch

6. Grundy

7. O'Rourke

8. Viney

9. Wines

10. Plowman

Let's not confuse the thread TLE. Suggest start a new one if you want to ask that question.

This is my tip for the top 10 in the 2012 AFL National Draft. I think that GWS have more than enough midfielders and they will take Grundy to help their ruck stocks and Plowman to help their embattled defence. Leaving the Demons to swoop on Toumpas.

1) Whitfield (GWS Giants)

2) Grundy (GWS Giants)

3) Plowman (GWS Giants)

4) Toumpas (Melbourne Demons)

5) O'Rourke (Western Bulldogs)

6) Stringer (Western Bulldogs)

7) Wines (Port Adelaide Power)

8) Macrae (Brisbane Lions)

9) Menzel (Richmond Tigers)

10) Daniher (Essendon Bombers)

Either way, I'll be happy with the Demons getting either Toumpas, Wines or O'Rourke with our number 4 pick.

I've got my money on Daniher going No. 10 to Essendon

Is Toumpas an inside-outside dynamic midfielder?

Because that is what we need. Outside of that I want the hardest inside mid out there.

We need some explosiveness in our midfield - but through a bloke who can win his own footy.

If we dont take Wines it would surely be one of the biggest draft surprises since Freo took Hill over Rich in 08. Nearly every news source claims we are into him in a big way so unlikely they are all wrong.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
