I agree with this. He looks fantastic. A lot of Xavier Lindsay about him in that he’s quick, clean and tough. Didn’t play champs, not super prolific and a type that gets lost in the mix a bit, but looks to have some real AFL traits to him.

Jared Polec clone IMO.

Dovatson has to be a top 5 talent. He is exactly what Melbourne needs. Quick, good by foot, tenacious and superb footy smarts. He will be better than Watson as he has more potential to play a multitude of positions including off half back. He is also taller and stronger with a solid core. Will be a steal at pick 7 or 8.

If we think Schubert is the real deal we should take him, the fact we have a big collection of not very good talls doesn't mean we don't need a good one. But I suspect we won't quite be convinced by Schubert.

I do think Marsh would be strongly considered to take over from Fritsch. He looks a big time talent even if the consistency is lacking in his game.

i think i prefer NHH to Marsh, he seems to be a really good one touch player at ground level, the one player in our range that i have zero read on is probably cummings, i just assume he's a HB like Isaac cumming and need to actually go and watch some more vision of how he fits in,

i think i'm coming around to the idea that CDT is going to slide

1. Duursma -WCE

2. Uwland matched GCS

3. Robey - WCE

4. Grjl -Rich

5. patterson - matched GCS

6. annable matched Bris

7. CDT - Rich

8. xav taylor - ess

9. dean matched carl

10. sharp - ess

still leaves us with all the same names and no idea where we're looking
