There have been no posts to date responding to this thread but the articles contain a wealth of information about the potential draft pool.

Is it possible for this to be made a "sticky" please so that it doesn't get lost in the pack?

Medium midfielders:
Damien Cavka sounds decent as an outside mid. They reckon he'd have broken the beep record and apparently he has good skills. I'd sign him up and let him run all day. Hawthorn have drafted some endurance freaks on the wing and they are paying off for them.

By the way, so many of these kids are born in the first few months of the year. Brayshaw and Petracca are both born early January. Is that just a coincidence?

So I'd look hard at Corey Ellis as he's born in October. Probably 6 months behind some of these guys in physical development. Same with Connor Menadue. Western Jets seems the place to be for midfielders this year. Maybe it's all the new housing out in the West boosting the talent or something.

Here's my pick if we keep #23

Dean Gore (Sturt)

Born 26.6.1996, 183cm, 86kg

AFL biography: Medium midfielder who reads the game very well and is very strong in the contest. Has good burst of speed and elite endurance and played a pivotal role in South Australia's NAB AFL Under-18 Championships winning team averaging 15.3 possessions (7.7 contested) and 6.5 tackles across all 6 matches. Has played senior football with Sturt.

Id identified Gore as well plus either Bampton for 2nd round pick which Im really keen to keep.

Peter Bampton (Norwood)

Born 15.4.1996, 182cm, 83kg

AFL biography: Hard running, strong bodied medium midfielder with an appetite for the contest. Has played senior football over the past couple of seasons for Norwood before injuring his ankle and missing the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships. Has an excellent ability to extract the footy from the stoppage and run hard forward. Averaging 19 disposals and three clearances at senior SANFL level.

Brenton Phillips, SANFL: "He just hasn't been able to get going because of injury, unfortunately. He had a bad shoulder and a bit of a foot or ankle problem so he couldn't get a run at the national championships and he would have been in our leadership group if not our captain. He's a quality individual who has a real team and club focus. He's worthy of a spot on a list. The question mark is his ability to cover the ground and spread from a contest, but he's a very good inside player."

He's one I've been wanting to get hold of as well 'Jack'.

From what I've seen of him he holds his position well and reads stoppages well, has good hands in close, has a good kick on him, can kick a goal, is not afraid of running both ways and lays a good tackle.

Then let's keep his name secret, just between you and me. :blink:

I think a few are waking up. A lot of the phantoms had him in the 70's to rookie now some have him coming into the 20's.

And this is after the season so I wonder what has them changing their minds?

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
