Also, the problem with Agius is that he's not a third tall. He is 'the guy' - if you're looking for someone to play that third role, Agius won't conform to structures. He's been played out of defence and on a wing this year as he has the talent - but also, his style while forward just isn't conducive to AFL football. He leads out of the square. Demands the ball. Chases like a 200 cm ruck. He's an undersized and athletic full forward, essentially.
Agius has all the talent in the world, will be a very difficult matchup if he develops which is what is needed against the best teams. He will demand a good defender at the minimum as he is capable of kicking bags. He is a completely different player to Kerstan and I think he is well worth a third round pick onwards.
I would hate to draft Collins. Do not rate. Skinner with a latish pick or target some younger fringe players from other clubs such as Talia from the bulldogs.
Its a hard draft as I think the main drop off of talent is around pick 7/8
