In fairness when Matty leunberger was drafted, he disappeared when turned side on. Was as skinny as a rakeThat's a shame, and it's pretty hard for ruckmen to hide.

WA thumped Vic Metro in the U18 Championships today.
Thought Vic Metro we’re going to be strong this year? Maybe just a few at the top end but fall away. As you know the stronger the Vic teams especially Metro then the better the draft quality (supposedly). Anyone stand out from WA?WA thumped Vic Metro in the U18 Championships today.
Quarter time.There's a couple of other more interesting games on at the moment

I'm dead set against drafting a ruckman particularly in the top 20 or so selections, later rounds, rookie or mature age trade, or state league drafting. Besides that I totally agree with the needs you listed. I haven't followed the draft class as closely this year but I'm sure briztoon would be able to offer up options to fit your types required, I know briz is very bullish on Lachlan Ash, he's likely to be a top 10 selection though so we probably wont have the pick to get him.What’s the general feeling of what type of player/s we require? Personally I would be happy with a cross section and in no particular order - Ruckman, taller inside midfielder, running HBF/wing, small forward. Thoughts?

Thanks for the mention jason pm. I’m pretty sure jjami15 follows the draft as much as me and has a handle on this years draft crop, he just doesn’t post as much as me. And I know there are others as well as well.I'm dead set against drafting a ruckman particularly in the top 20 or so selections, later rounds, rookie or mature age trade, or state league drafting.

I'm not sure about a taller inside mid, unless there are already genuine questions whether Ely Smith can fill that role or not.What’s the general feeling of what type of player/s we require?

Yup, that’s my thought as well.Not fully across this draft. Aware of same names and due to the fact that we are picking later it’s harder to gauge. I am also of the mindset of trying to trade in a more mature player but not fully sure of whom. I still believe that you need an undercurrent of youth/draftees coming into your club but my main concern with picking later it becomes harder to find that diamond in the rough. With where our picks fall it might be more beneficial to use this years earlier picks for trading.

I agree we still need to bolster the midfield, but I'm not sure there will be a better prospect at our first pick than the kids we drafted last year. I'd prefer to trade in a ready made, best 22 mid if possible.
Like most of last years draftees, I expect most of our draftees this year to take a year or two before playing first team football.
Id love another bigger bodied mid this draft BUT most the top mids in talked up in top 30ish, are sub 188cm,
Think Noah Anderson is 190cm but he will be gone by our 1st.
The one who i am really interested in is Louis Butler, and who is having a great u18s carnival for VM 183cm rebounding defender, good ball user and likes to take the game on.
Yeah, eDPS has mentioned that Butler would be a good fit for us, as long as 4-5 weeks ago.Id love another bigger bodied mid this draft BUT most the top mids in talked up in top 30ish, are sub 188cm,
