I’ve been on Zane dursma all year 

so much going for him

fast, elite skills, great mark and big leap 

when he was playing at Casey there was a few highlights of him linking up down the wing with harmes and few others and he already looked better than them. Makes good and fast decisions. Reminds me a lot of Conor rozee 

That’s just the thing though. Everything you say is right, however can this be transferred to the big league? Does he have the right traits? Strong work ethic, two way running, 2nd efforts etc, elite fitness, strength. Only those in the inner sanctum would have a true read on this stuff as you can only see so much on the field.  

I reckon we’d be happy with either Duursma or Reid (how could we not be?)

But we might find ourselves offering our pick bounty of 6 &11 to North for pick 2 (better picks than what WC traded for pick 2 last year), knowing one of them would be available, and giving North enough higher end picks to package with their late first rounders to finally entice pick 1 out of WC to guarantee they get Reid.

Another Duursma fan here.

Ii reckon he could be the best from this draft.  He or Reid would be wonderful.

Caddy ?  I'm not a fan.  I wouldn't take him in the top 20.

The write ups on Zane look even a bit better that Xavier

who looked a freak in his first year abs injuries and inconsistencies can found him in oblivion

If we wanted him, it would take 6 and 11 for 3 and perhaps a token late pick back. 

Also dependent on the roos willing to pass on him.

Amazing! So clean with his hands in marking contests. Probably 25 marks shown in that clip and not one double grab, all sticky, single touch marks.

Shame that he looks out of our reach

He looks a ripper with his timing. I will say you very rarely get a clean jump at the footy in AFL. I imagine it’ll take him a few seasons to adjust to AFL body positioning - but you can’t teach timing like that. He’ll be a good player.

A taller Burgoyne, he’s worth the price we’d need to pay for pick 2.

Been a fan most of the year. 

Would be slightly disappointed if we didn't end up with either him or Mckercher but that looks likely. 

Nice highlights package 

but he must have had two bites at least once. And he took the contested ones at his top    Bloody nice,

Just got a feeling he is going to turn out like his older brother. Nothing but a hunch.

i think you will find his older brother will turn out to be a very good player

Has had some rotten injury luck.

Yeh exactly, his first year was very good, then missed his next year, and was playing good footy towards the back end of this year.  Think Essendon got him for a steal.

Have seen 2 mock drafts that have him going to roos, but state he has a range of 2-6.

Most likely wishful thinking, but if Roos opt for McKercher and Curtin, I wonder what the chances are he gets through Hawks and Dogs who like Watson and Sanders respectively.

Or would we tempt the Hawks with 6 and a f1st (hopefully 18) for 4. That would then gaurantee us Duursma and Hawks still get their man in Watson.

I think no matter how the cards fall, the 2 options of that 6 that would fall to us would be Sanders & Curtin, and I don’t think we’d prefer either over others available.

The youngest Duursma will be the best of the lot of them

Apparently our highly popular and highly esteemed CEO has the final say on who we pick.  😎🤓😛🤪😜🤪😜🤪
