If you missed out on Sheezel, this kid certainly has enough tools to play the same role. I think if he did not injure himself, he would have pushed a lot higher on draft night. When you show such good forward craft and still have the ability to find a lot of the ball when playing midfield, he ticks a lot of boxes.

Put his skill set in a 180cm+ body and surely he is a top 10 pick.
100%. His form at WAFL seniors has been overlooked a bit. Played back and forward and rarely played a bad game. Had multiple games where he kicked multiple goals when pushed forward too.

His teammate Jack Cleaver is pretty under rated too.

Cleaver, I am not sure where to rate him. I am on the Steely bandwagon for a late pick up, interesting to see where he goes on draft night.

Hawthorn
Pick 35 | St. Kilda | Harry Lemmey | 199cm 95kg

Harry Lemmey is the most interesting prospect this draft year. Going in with a lot of promise, he presents as a centerpiece CHF, pushing up the ground and clunking big marks deep. On paper, it's all there for Harry. An exceptional athlete with forward craft unsurpassed by any tall prospect this year, his standout ability is his exceptional field kicking across the half-forward line. Reminiscent of Jeremy Cameron at his best, Lemmey is a forward's forward who works with coaches to play within a strong system. In my (very unprofessional) opinion, this is where Harry fell away this year. Playing for the SA side, Lemmey looked out of sorts and was unfamiliar with the system he was asked to spearhead. A mixture of being chopped around a system, playing across half back occasionally, and a disrupted season, I'm confident a professional and consistent environment will do wonders for the kid's development. Unfortunately, he's ended up at the Saints. But if Ross the Boss can mold Harry's exceptional talent and upside into a consistent competitor, he'll be well on his way to a fourth heart-breaking grand final defeat.

Macca19 you're up.

Pick 36 - Kobe Ryan
Tough one this. There's really two options for my pick here. One makes perfect sense from a needs basis. The other i've loved watching play for 2 1/2 years and would have jumped at the start of the year to pick him up. Genuine 50/50 call. "Gil, more time thanks" Both doubtful they will be there with our next pick.

Pick 36 - Port Adelaide

Kobe Ryan - West Adelaide - Midfielder

183cm / 73kg

Kobe is a ball magnet midfielder who excels inside the contest but has the running power to spread and find plenty of the ball outside as well. Whilst rather slender in frame, it has proven really to be no barrier to his ability to win the football time and time again other the last few seasons. Under 18s, reserves, bottom age, top age, he's consistently shown his desire to win obscene amounts of the football and has delivered one of the most consistent back catalogues of football of any player in this draft pool.

Whilst his kicking isn't elite, his running power, his inside work, his ability to read the play and get first hands on the ball time and time again, is elite. He's regularly found outside kicking inside 50 and is just as likely to be found wide in defense putting his hand up for the clearance kick.

His frame is something that will need to be worked on. If he can improve his kicking by 5% he will be a very handy player. Whilst he reminds me most of someone like Tom Mitchell in the way he plays, I can see him starting on a wing with short stints in the midfield, before becoming a full time mid in year 3.

Now to hope my other option falls.

Pick 37 - Melbourne
Nick Sadler
Midfielder/Flanker
Sturt/South Australia

Justification

Melbourne don't have a lot of needs at this point. I would've loved a bigger midfielder in this spot, but there just wasn't one available that I was willing to pull the trigger on. Sadler has a bit of speed, class and the ability to fill a number of roles at the next level. Given the profile of Melbourne's list, a classy, versatile role player fits the bill for me.

Profile
Sadler is a really skilled midfielder that could also carve out a role on a flank at either end of the ground. He's got speed on the ball, is a classy user and possesses the qualities and character that suggest he's going to leave nothing to chance in his efforts to forge an AFL career. His lack of size limits his ceiling, but I have no doubt he has the tools to find a role at AFL level.

Other considerations:
Jack O'Sullivan, Noah Long

Western Bulldogs
Pick 38 - Western Bulldogs - Jaiden Magor
185cm, 79kg
South Adelaide
Forward/Midfielder

Magor was unfortunately injured a lot this year, but was still able to produce a number of eye catching games. He had a decent start to the year, but then really kicked into gear in rounds 7 & 8 where he had 28 disposals, 3 goals and 41 disposals, 2 goals respectfully. This gave him some confidence playing for his state side SA, playing well against the Allies in the first game with 2 goals before an ankle injury sidelined him for a fair portion of the 2nd half of the season. He came back for the last two games of his season and dominated up forward kicking 11.4 including the matchwinner in the last game.

Magor is a very talented and powerful player with plenty X-factor. He's particularly strong in a one on one contest, able to read the flight of the ball early and use his strength to push his opponent under the ball. But what makes him standout more so then others is that he can do it at ground level also and is able to pull off some incredible snaps. In the midfield he's a pretty good clearance player, clean by hand and reads it well off the ruckman's hands. It's also not uncommon to see him bursting out of stoppages and shaking off an opponent with strength.

His kicking whilst not terrible, it does need some work particularly when in congestion. From an interview, Magor also said he needs to work on his endurance so he can spend more time in the midfield.

The dogs don't have many smalls/mediums with the goal sense Magor has. A lot of our midfielders, despite not being natural at it, can spend a lot of time up forward. I think Magor makes sense because he can play midfield, but is far more natural up forward then a lot of our mids. And in a few years time, hopefully he could replace ageing stars in Libba and Treloar.

Jakob Ryan and Sam Gilbey

St Kilda
Pick 10 | Bailey Humphrey | 186cm 86kg | Inside Midfielder/Medium Forward

Bailey "Humphrey B. Bear" Humphrey has landed down at Moorabbin. The definition of an upside prospect, Humphrey has all the physical tools and mental strength to carve out a place among the greats. To get there, he'll need to overcome the bane of many a footballer: kicking. While Bailey's skills with the footy have been overblown a touch, there's no doubt that he's dreadful with a set shot and pretty ordinary around the ground. He also needs to build up his tank a bit more to play further up the ground, something he's been working on throughout the season. With his deficiencies out of the way, let's get onto what he brings to the St. Kilda Football Club. Baz is a strong, agile, fast midfielder with vices for hands, dynamite in his footy boots, and a rousing will to get his team over the line. A vocal leader who impacts the game with every kick, Humphrey injects some excitement into St Kilda's one-paced midfield and some grit into their forward line. He finds his way on the scoresheet an incredible amount for someone who splits their time between the forward line and the midfield, tackles hard, and runs both ways with a ferocious dedication to getting the footy. Despite an interrupted year, Bailey has shot right into top-10 contention. With a few preseasons in the AFL system, his drive and leadership coupled with the mountain of upside he has St Kilda are in a perfect place to inject some excitement and ferocity into their new future under Ross Lyon.


Arr0w is up with the Blues.
If his kicking is that poor, No Thanks. So, Hewett if we go mid. Keeler if we go tall.

Pick 39 - Tom Scully

Anthony…Munkaaaaaaaar……

North Melbourne
Pick 39
Tom Scully

West Adelaide - South Australia
02/11/04 202cm 89kg

Justification

Currently, we only have 4 list spots but we might free up another one prior to the draft by dropping a senior player to the rookie list. So, I’m going to take the opportunity to fill a big gaping hole on our list and that is a key forward. I was hoping that Lemmey would be available at this pick but have to take the next best key forward. Despite being raw, Scully still has considerable his scope for potential.

With only Larkey & Comben on our list as genuine key forwards (not testing ruck man) we really need to add some key position depth in this area of the ground.

Player Profile

Scully is a tall, rangy and mobile key forward who is quite agile for his size. He burst onto the scene earlier this year with an incredible run of form in the under 18’s. In the opening 7 rounds of the season Scully had kicked 37 goals including 3 bags of 7 and a bag of 6. Such was he goal kicking prowess some draft watchers (including myself) had him rocketing into top 10 calculations.

Throughout the year Scully has shown decent contested marking, good leading patterns and ability to crumb the ball at ground level. His set shot routine and goal kicking is quite good but from time to time he can kick them off the side of the boot. At this stage he really relies on his height advantage rather than physicality or smarts to take his marks. Despite being 202cm he hasn’t shown all that much in the ruck, but with the right development he could pinch hit in there, perhaps like a Rory Lobb style forward.

Being so raw, Scully does have his flaws. He isn’t overly physical and when competiting against better opposition (say at champs level) he struggled to have an impact. His form also tapered away a bit in the second half of the year. He is also quite lean at the moment. I’d comfortably say he is at least a couple of pre-seasons away from having an impact at AFL level. So he will be a 3-4 year investment (like most key forwards or rucks).

Unfortunately Scully only featured in one game for SA during the championships. In tough conditions, he didn’t really have the impact he would’ve desired. He also got a run in the AFL academy game against the Collingwood reserves, and despite kicking a goal he struggled against mature opposition.

At SANFL under 18 level he played 14 games, avg'd 11.4 disposals, 6 marks and 3.6 goals per game. His best game came earlier in the season against WWT where he kicked 7.2 from 16 disposals and 11 marks. Later in the season he also played a couple of games in the reserves which would’ve been good for his development.



Other players considered: Anthony Munkara, Jaxon Binns, Adam D’Aloia, Billy Dowling, James Van Es & Phoenix Foster.

Just in time to steal an absolute beauty, tall, quick, agile, goal sense, if we had more exposure he would be in top 20 contention imo, Essendon NGA but in the open pool inside the top 40, moves like Cyril Rioli, even when he takes difficult shots or the ball falls short, it's nearly always online, if he works out could be a huge steal here, kicked 6 goals in 2 sanfl u18s games, looked the best forward and super impressive in the AFL Academy, kicking an opportunist goal and then throwing off a tackler like it was nothing, had a poor champs game where in the first half he looked disinterested and tried getting into a fight on field almost, came around in the 2nd half to contribute a little then disappeared for a bit and returned to school footy for Westminster where he kicked a 9 goal haul, highly talented, highly athletic goal scoring champ.

Pick 41 - Sydney - Adam D’Aloia
186cm - Midfielder

Taking a lot of smaller players in recent years the Swans should look at a midfielder with some size and although D’Aloia lacks athleticism and skill by foot his one wood is contested possessions/clearances and he does this just about better than anyone else in the draft pool.

Players Considered: Sam Gilbey

Fremantle - Pick 43. Jed Adams (Tall Defender/Western Australia) (195cm, 89kg)

I'm in a pretty lucky spot here because I actually have two players in my top 30 still available. If I was going best available at this pick, I'd be taking Sam Gilbey, he's incredibly talented, but Jed Adams is only one spot behind Gilbey in my rankings and plays a role that Fremantle need. So yeah, here's my second Jed that I've picked in the span of 24 hours, how many list managers can say that?

Jed Adams is a very good key defender, he's not the best tall defender named Jed (or a variation of Jed, such as Jedd) but he's a brilliantly talented and exactly what clubs are looking for in a lockdown key defender. He is a brilliant one-on-one defender and when he ends up with the ball after winning a one-on-one, he's very good with the ball. Just like Jed Hagan who I previously picked he's a very smart footballer and has a real knack of finding the correct option.

But why Jed Adams for Fremantle? Well, we did just lose Griffin Logue and Joel Hamling is getting older by the day (and god forbid Alex Pearce falls over again) so there's a real spot for him to develop in the WAFL. He has already played senior footy for Peel this year and didn't look out of his element, and I think if worst comes to worst he could play AFL football in 2023

Also Considered: Sam Gilbey, Steely Green, Jason Gillbee, Jaxon Binns
