Malcom Rosas Jnr is expected to be a late draft/rookie prospect.

Kicked 2 goals in the Casey vs Australia U18s game earlier this year also.

According to this article - How many picks will your club use in the 2019 draft? - “AFL.com.au has found there is likely to be a minimum of 62 picks and a maximum of 74 picks in the national draft.”

That means that by the time the draft comes around, pick 97 will not really exist and our last pick will be in the early 70s if in fact we use it at all in the draft. We could use the selection as a rookie upgrade if the club decides to go down that path. 

Therefore, I wouldn’t concern myself with #97 at this stage.

Not this year - too young.

[old dee 23,118]

Punt on a KPF.

[spirit of norm smith 13,528]

KPFs?
Emerson Jeka.  He’d be a punt.  
Hugo Munn 18 yr old from the Norwood SANFL reserves. He’d be a bigger punt. 
Never say never.

Emerson Jeka, Tyrone Thorne

Can we split the pick....

That joke has been split 4 times already...

[Demons1858 1,663]

Not going to need that pick as we will exchange 3 and / or 8 into multiple picks

[spirit of norm smith 13,528]

Probably a hypothetical but if we keep pick 3 and 8,

and take Murray as DFA & Bennell as SSP rookie

we actually might get the last two live picks at the end being around 74 and 75. 
 

BTW there’s the saying that it does not matter where you are drafted, pick 1 or 81, you go on an AFL list and try your hardest.  
Harmesy missed out on being drafted but went in the rookie draft. It’s the heart and work ethic that determines the outcome sometimes.

I think it’s already been explained elsewhere but we have 5 vacancies so based on your scenario, there would only be one vacancy left if we took 3 & 8, Murray as a DFA and Bennell as a SSP Rookie.

BTW, if this happens, the chances of us also pursuing Jack Martin much further are diminished.

I think we have 6 vacancies

* these are subject to special criteria for selection that are outside the drafting rules

Hence, there are some alternate possibilities -

1 In this scenario, we upgrade Jay Lockhart from the rookie list to enable Harley Bennell to be listed as a rookie in March. No trades or splitting of picks 

36. Pick 3
37. Pick 8
38. Pick 97
39. Sam Murray
40. Jay Lockhart (rookie upgrade)

Category A Rookies

1. Harley Bennell 
2. Kade Chandler
3. Kyle Dunkley
4. Corey Wagner  

2 In this scenario, we opt for a primary list of 39 and Bennell becomes the 5th rookie 

36. Pick 3
37. Pick 8
38. Pick 97
39. Sam Murray

Category A Rookies

1. Harley Bennell 
2. Kade Chandler
3. Kyle Dunkley
4. Jay Lockhart 
5. Corey Wagner  

Then there are other scenarios that would involve trading/splitting of picks and even going for a primary list of 38 + 6 rookies.

[spirit of norm smith 13,528]

Thanks. I thought we had 6. 
outs - Lewis Maynard TSmith Frost Jkh stretch Garlett Keilty 

ins - Langdon Tomlinson 

I guess Dunkley now is an addition officially. He had to become listed as his mid year selection was actually because of injury list replacement for Nietschke. 
 

so it’s 5 more !!

Here’s a possible #97. Family reunification and matches the club’s preferred height profile -

Ryan Bennell

Can say that again PF.  Throwing good players after bad.

[Paulo 285]

Ryan sparkes from gippsland power is one i hope the club has a eye on, in some games with power he looked just as talented as serong and flanders.

He is a smooth moving wingman, always seems to have more time with the ball.

I see alot of upside in him 

[dazzledavey36 49,576]

Fraser Phillips from Gippsland Power who trained with the Dees at the start of the year is someone I'd like to really consider if he is still there.

Talented left footer who brings X factor and someone who I think is very underrated in this year's crop.

[Ted Lasso 17,200]

I'd love to see us again have a really good look at the state leagues and get a mature age player. we've done pretty well so far with that approach. another Bailey Fritsch or Vanders for pick 97 would be a great result. 

[Romey 127]

With all of the picks used for the academy players so far I see that our fourth pick in this years draft has moved up to 74. No doubt this will move up more tomorrow. It will be interesting to see if this ends up in the 50’s or 60’s.

[spirit of norm smith 13,528]

Yes draft pick will fall to around 65-70

but I think there is 5 spots available pre draft

now down to 3

That’s pick 30 and then Bennell and Brown as rookie/SSP Listings. 

[Hampton 22 519]

We could get smart and trade for 99.

Yes split 97 and next years 43 for 86 and 99.
