Six to one and halfa dozen the otherSo with the latest phantom drafts out and with those in the know, they have us taking Durdin even though Lever is available and they have Lever going to Adelaide with the very next pick. I would probably prefer Lever even with his injury concerns I think he has more upside along with his leadership abilities could be a future captain of the club.
Who would you prefer?
It sounds like we will take Goddard if available but take Durdin over Lever because he can play both ends of the ground and pinch hit in the ruck. Freo are big on versatility. Both Durdin and Lever were a some point considered to be top five picks and both have slipped a little. I don't care who they take. Would actually be happy with an A grade mid. Of course, Freo may have someone else in mind for all anyone knows.So with the latest phantom drafts out and with those in the know, they have us taking Durdin even though Lever is available and they have Lever going to Adelaide with the very next pick.

Whoever we all think we will get - will be the player we overlook twice and then gets taken by the Hawks
We will curse at Bond and the recruiting staff and then at some time during this coming season we will say 'clever' pick that one was.
Ahhh..... the AFL Draft, that time of the year when a young man's dreams are suddenly destroyed with the simple words, "The West Coast Eagles chose with their next pick.................."
I say Cory EllisYeah. Cue 5 minutes of panic as we research who the hell we just picked after our wishlist of Durdin, Lever, Langford gets ignored and we pick a small tweeny bottom-aged forward/midfielder.
On that basis my money is on Menadue for our first pick - for the pure fact he's someone not on our radar, and is a 188cm 69kg tweeny younger midfielder.
I say Cory Ellis
We aren't at a great spot, no guarantees at 13. What about McKenzie? He is a beast and fast, worst case of see him as a defender who can beat his man to the ball.
I reckon Mckenzie will be terrific. His ability to clunk strong marks at its highest point is really impressive. But maybe at 100kgs might be too heavy (nothing a preseason couldn't fix)
This draft has him going to us for our second rounder.For a guy as quick over 20 as he was, even at that size, it gets my athletic socks ready to blow off. That he can mark and is tall, oh my.
Whether he can learn where to run, that's a whole different story.
I'm kinda hoping Ballard will be our Barlow type.Connor Blakely could be a Barlow type in a couple of years. 2nd rounded would be steal.
I'm kinda hoping Ballard will be our Barlow type.
We need some serious speed. You must be beside yourself that your fixation was chosen at our first pick on the live draft.Why can't we have both? Cue the taco pic.

Not sure I'd be happy if we let Weller slide by though.
3rd rounder selected for us
Harrison Wigg North Adelaide
14.10.1996 Height: 179cm Weight: 74kg
Small defender who is an elite left foot kick which helps set up his team on the rebound and from kick-ins. Reads the play exceptionally well, averaging 18.8 disposals at 79.3 per cent effectiveness during the NAB AFL U18 Championships and winning South Australia's MVP. To cap off an outstanding championships he was also named in the All Australian U18 team in defence.
Freo have visited Jake Lonie at home on a few occasions but he will probably be gone by our third pick. He is a Ballantyne clone.I mentioned I wanted Lever over Durdin. I wouldn't go by that live mock draft it has a poster choosing a small forward for our 3rd n 4th pick. Like Freo have a shortage of small forwards.
