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. 

Brendon Ac Chee

simple

It will either be a rookie upgrade or pass.

A steal at 97? An absolute punt !!  

I think Charlie Sprague (Falcons under 18s might be available)   Saw his 2018 highlights and thought unlucky not to be drafted.  Agile, great mark. Goalkicker   Played for Barwon Heads senior team and as a overager in Falcons team.  From the Falcons footy factory, he has the makings of a AFL player. 

Lachlan Potter (nth knights under 18s) - pacy running mid. Absolutely a classic wingman. Vic metro rep. Got injured 2/3rds through the year. You can never bypass kids with footy smarts and lightning pace. Likely to be drafted imo at 50-60+ but could slip.   Would be one not to ignore  

Perhaps a mature age type 

Sam Lowson (Coburg)- 22 -small forward.  
Will Fordham (Frankston) -23 - tall running ruck Rover Hayden Schloithe (Sth Fremantle) -26 - solid running mid Jordan Lockyer (Subiaco)26 - 193cm full back - ex Sydney Swans listed / best defender in WAFL  

I’d definitely grab Schloithe.  Ready to go. Past 4 years has been one of the best mids in WAFL. Will be a guaranteed player to cover any midfield role.  Would succeed and cannot underestimate him given success of Pickett, Menegola and Kelly. 
 

What about Lefau from Casey??? Dazzle??

I believe that Mykelti Lefau could be picked as a Category B rookie as he is originally from New Zealand. However, he’s been around for a couple of years and the club hasn’t opted to do so and therefore, it’s not a likely option. 

In any case, he wouldn’t therefore be in contention to be drafted like the others.

I do find it interesting that with the bidding system a relatively useless low draft pick can actually become semi-valuable. It is conceivable next year with the high proportion of F/S and academy picks that a pick in the 50’s or early 60’s becomes a pick in the 30’s.

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

You guys are out of CONTROL

[spirit of norm smith 16,617]

If only we had one more pick.  Mitch O’Neill or Fraser Phillips.  Both look likely AFL Players with excellent skills and that class to play at the top level.  Both will definitely get rookie listed.

Darcy Cassar?? Ridiculous

Are we going to pick any players in the rookie draft?

No room on the list because we’re keeping our two vacant spots for Bennell and Brown.

I suppose they can nominate for the mid season draft, should anything happen to anyone on our list, we can pick one of them up?

Both got picked up as rookies.  Desperately unlucky not to be drafted.

Any chance you could post your earlier quotes re O’Neill.

I really like your posts mate, but you do have a tendency to overrate players, particularly when compared to where they end up being drafted.
