Knightmare's AFL list analysis: What does your club need? "Melbourne List needs 1. Relieving ruck (with Cam Pedersen, 29, and Jake Spencer, 27, Melbourne's primary options relieving Max Gawn through the ruck, another ready-to-go option is vital) 2. Experienced veterans who can provide further leadership to the young group - (Nathan Jones is the clear leader but would benefit from further support) 3. Outside midfielders - (specifically players who are damaging with ball in hand) 4. General forwards - (to support Jesse Hogan, some quality small and medium forwards could be introduced to better balance the front half and provide better forward pressure) 5. General defenders - (Michael Hibberd is a solid list addition but another high-quality general defender would improve Melbourne even further) Draft picks: 47, 69, 84, 102, 120, 138 Who should they draft? GWS Academy medium forward Lachlan Tiziani (a talented top-ager) would fit well and may be available when Melbourne enter the draft. High-leaping mature-age forward Liam Ryan would also add significant excitement to Melbourne's front half. As general defenders, Harry Morrison, Bailey Morrish and Tom Williamson may be among those who may still be available to Melbourne in the latter half of the draft. Esava Ratugolea late in the draft if still available may if available be Melbourne's best choice towards filling the club's relieving ruck need. He will take time to develop but may with time be able to fill the position."
