We’ll need a top 5 pick for the best of those types @whatwhat say what…O’Sullivan, Draper & Smith leading the pack (of quick, skilled mids) at this stage.

Where is Murphy Reid expected to go? Having a pretty impressive champs it seems

He’s met 17 clubs; been told by one if they have pick 12 they’ll take him.

 

great kid, having a fabulous year, would be a great get for us. Elite “time” a bit Pendlebury like

Has gone from a 15-20 range player to busting into the 10 on the back of his Championship form.

Harry Armstrong caught the eye too, this year’s Metro v Country clash should be another ripper.

That's strangely specific, if they have pick 11 or 13 are they not going to take him?

I think thought was 12 was high for him. But he’s rising. Only meeting not done is Tigers and he’s a mad Tigers fan, but Yze watches every game of school footy as Noah in same team.

Anybody got a good link to watch replays of the champs? My Foxtel box isn’t recording at the min. Have tried it from the AFL app but it keeps saying the stream is over 2 mins in. Not up on YouTube yet either. 
Im not exactly a wiz with technology but it seems harder than it should be.

Thanks Chaser- I was trying ( with little success) to stream it through my phone onto TV via that page. I’ll try it with the laptop tonight.

SA is now finished. Wrap up as … 

Father sons- Tyler Welsh (Crows), Ben Camporeale, Lucas Camporeale (blues) 

Port Adelaide NGA products – Benny Barrett from South Adelaide and North Adelaide’s Louie Montgomery. Both could go top 40 or be available for Port

️Sid Draper - star midfielder.  Captain and top 5 draft pick 

👏Kade Herbert - impressed in 2023 as an underager.  Showed this year he is strong in the contest and can also play outside with good delivery and run in his legs. Some draft posters see him as a 35-45 pick. I’d have him around 24th/25th pick.  

Phoenix Hargrave - mid/half forward. Likely top 35-40 pick  

Charlie Nicholls - 197cm key forward . Excellent mark   Likely pick 45-50  

Ned Bowman - half fwd skilled creative goalkicker. Likely late draft pick, perhaps 50-55.

Jett Hasting - SA mid/half back runner SA-eagles - likely late pick or rookie. I like his run and dash and style   Type of player that has AFL qualities in my view (like McVee from 2021)

Melbourne NGA prospect Ricky Mentha lining up for the Allies in today's game against vic country.

Riak Andrew, brother of Mac and former Melbourne NGA players is playing for vic country as an overage player. Fairly certain we don't have any rights to him anymore given we passed over him last year but will stand to be corrected there.

This draft is very strong and I’d like to see the Dees find room for 4 or even perhaps 5 draft picks this year. 
                                   …

@Whispering_Jack Langford is definitely a player that would be on JTs list.  There is a lot of quality midfielders going down to picks in the second round and even early third round. I’ll look to do a top 50 by next weekend.  

I’d even by open to trade our 2025 1st round to get another 2024 first round pick. I’d call the GC suns to discuss.

WA wrap up 

A weaker WA under 18 squad this year. I think only 3-4 youngsters will get drafted in the main draft , perhaps with a few through the rookie draft where identified. 

️Bo Allan. I only saw him in the game v  He just has a footy IQ to get the right space and position. Good skills and size for a midfielder. His energy and transition running will see him strongly considered. Expect him to go pick 19-22 as early 2nd round pick  

👏Luke Urquart. Big blonde bulldozer of a midfielder. Like a Cripps type, he goes into the contest and wins the footy. Skills were okay but let him down on occasion. He should be drafted but likely will be a pick in the 40s.  
 

Malakai Champion.  He’s exciting no doubt.  But I was expecting more and he’s not a top 50 player for me.  Late draft or rookie chances. 
 

Cody Angove.  Project type.  Exciting runner and pace on the footy.  Likely late draft pick as his skill is up to AFL quality which gives him a chance.   Could a side take a chance

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    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.
