This thread is for collecting together info/posts/etc in one place on players who we might look at with our first pick this year and concentrating on mids only as given we've drafted our big fish last year, I don't think it's a stretch we'll want a jet midfielder with our first pick this year.
I'll update this post as more info, interviews, videos, promising players come to light and shamelessly pinch other people's posts and bring it here. Will also add a poll as this upcoming season gets towards the pointy end.
So who do we want?
Someone like a Dusty, or that bloke from Cats Creek maybe? Yes please!
A big, fast, line breaking, skilful mid jet is what we need.
While I don't think we'd say no to Horne - he's pretty unlikely to be available to us, and Daicos being likely Collingwood Father-Son - the following players who might be available to us that might fit the bill are:
* Roberts (SA 183cm)
* Draper (SA 185cm)
* Chesser (VicC 185cm)
* Rachele (VicC 179cm)
* Hobbs (VicC 182cm)
* Josh Goater (VicM 190cm)
* Sonsie (VicM 181cm)
* Sinn (VicM 190cm)
* Callaghan (VicM 190cm)
* Erasmus (WA 190?cm)
* Johnson (WA 192cm)
* Banks (Tas 184cm)
Other SA midfielders that may be of interest (for our 2nd pick in particular and if we continue to have an SA flavour in our choices) are:
* Hugh Jackson (SA 180cm)
* Hugh Stagg (SA 179cm)
* Cooper Murley (SA 177cm)
* James Willis (SA 180cm)
* Isaac Birt (SA 180cm)
For more details, what people are saying and media content on these players, go to:
* post no.2 for South Australians players Horne, Draper & Roberts
* post no.4 for other South Australians players
* post no.6 for Vic Country / WA / Tas players
* post no.8 for Vic Metro players
