This guy will be a hard match up and will be a valuable asset in our forward line. Not only is he quick off the mark, he can also take a very good grab overhead meaning if he was 1:1 against another small defender you could back him in. Also someone who is touted to be very competitive and can lay a good tackle will help us to ensure we apply more forward pressure which we desperately need.

The excitement I get with late picks like these is hoping blokes we want to slide actually slide. Gets quite nerve-racking when it's very close to our pick and the player you want is still available!

My ideal draft scenario sees us landing Zac Bailey, Sam Hayes, Toby Wooller and Gyran Miers.

For a bit unit, he actually gets a lot of ground ball. What he does next with it makes me cringe.

Just spent quite a while watching through some of his games and highlights. The best thing I like about this kid, is that he has willingness to take the game on, and loves to hold the ball and draws a defender for him to tackle which allows a team mate last second to be released and fires off a handball. Oliver does this very well also, and those traits have class written all over them. Would be stoked for this guy, will be a player. Watch this space.

Petruccelle will be a bust. Hope we don't draft him.

Gyran Miers if he is still available. Lock it in gents.

Brian Lake disagrees.

Due to the limitations of this bloke in terms of his testing, huge chances he will slide. And if he does, expect us to nominate him with our first pick. Watch this space.

His brother got delisted from GC. Saints gave him a life-line. Big difference.

Got em'!

My main wish: More games at Etihad. We look like word-beaters there now.

Just like they did for Weideman

Couldn’t agree more.

Watts has officially nominated Port.

Completely agree. I'd rather bank the picks and draft someone who is going to structurally set us up so much better, than risking and drafting a midfielder that may be a bust. Lever has such a positive knock-on effect for players such as Hunt, Hibberd, Tmac, Omac, etc. We can easily get an outside midfielder as a free agent next year. If we are to compete for a flag and finish top 4, you do it by bringing in blokes like Lever.

Not sure regarding defensive pressure. He has freakish talent however. I was listening to trade radio and a few brought up his name saying he might slide. If we can hold a pick somewhere between 25-35 I think that’d be enough.

Small forward standing at 177cm, kicked a bag of 7.2 in the TAC Cup Grand Final. Kicked over 50 in the TAC cup season. Realistically, looking to go somewhere between 30-50. Jason Taylor has said we are looking for small forwards in the draft. Could be the small forward we need?

Dwayne Russel again stating the fact Lever is worth pick 10 + 12... Lol

“Choose to pay one of the most down-hill skiers in Motlop over $600k, yet have the audacity to completely initially low-ball Lever then run around like headless chooks to try and retain him, followed by a wave of abuse towards him when he accepts a better offer elsewhere. No wonder this club can’t retain their players.” Look how similar my first sentence is with yours lol.

Brendan, did you just rip this from my Facebook comment on AFL SuperCoach? Legit word for word what I said in my opening sentence lol?

Why? So we can hold onto a player and build our game structure / plan for him and not develop players or build something now, when he will leave as a free agent in two years time, and then receive less in pick value as a result? Makes perfect sense now to trade him than wait for the inevitable.

Would it really be the end of the world if Jesse left? To be honest, I’d be just as excited with their pick 5, first rounder next year, Balic and possibly Tabener.

Pretty sure he nominated Hawks?
