Agreed. By the draft period, all were considered top players (top 10) and went as expected. They all improved through their draft year and eventually went as predicted on draft night.

Absolutely. Early 2nd round range around 30-35 is likely. He’s a bargain if he slips to the later stages.

Just something about this kid He missed showing his talent at the championships but was excellent for the Eagles in underage and seniors at SANFL Has energy to compete hard plus has the skill on both left and right. He kicks goals. He’s smart. Good mark. Definitely see him as a player. “I’d pick myself, that’s not arrogance." Confident youngster Jevan Phillipou thinks he should go No. 1. But it shouldn’t be mistaken for arrogance, as he looks to follow in the footsteps of his brother.

Cameron Nairn is a quality young player. 188cms. Yes he’s like Ollie Dempsey or a little like Jai Culley, or throw in a little Bailey Fritsch (but not as smoothe). Medium forward? Actually he plays more wing/half forward, or can shift to half back. He’s a smart player too. Left footer. Not highly skilled but good enough. His big assets are his endurance running power and his marking. He gets to contests and has good judgement. Kicking is not elite but satisfactory to be honest. Ball drop needs some work. I had him pegged in about pick 30-32 so it’ll be a big move to have him at the “11/12” (available 7/8). Again we all put faith in JTs capable hands.
