There is a team with two top ten picks who is seriously considering him with their second selection. If that doesn't eventuate then he probably does slide. I'm confident he would have been first taken 10-15 years ago. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Thanks Turbo. There certainly is a good range of backline options on the list now. Lonergan, Taylor, Mackie, Kolodjashnij, Tuohy, Thurlow, Henderson, Stewart, Ruggles and Bews appear to be the mainstay group for 2017. Both Tuohy and Thurlow come straight in for me and as I stated during the...

The key stat that highlights his true attribute is 25 contested marks in 11 games (haven't seen his updated statistics from the Elimination Final). They are elite numbers. He is a genuine target, a player you know will always be competitive in the air. While I saw him as a rookie prospect...

Get us Ridley please Wellsy. I saw him at many Charger's games this year. I've got a feeling. Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

He said that in reference to being very bottom age. Still only 18 now and wasn't involved in any elite junior systems until last year. Another year in the TAC Cup would have seen massive on field output development. Huge scope. Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

As much as I love Stewart, I'd be a tad disappointed if we reached at No.24. So much quality 18 year old talent around that first pick. Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

Sorry missed that. Herald Sun article out today too, so not much of a smoky after all haha. He is a decent prospect though. His Sturt vision in particular was promising. Very raw. Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

A bit of a bolter to look out for on Friday night is Sturt's Lewis Young. 197cm KPF who is capable in the ruck. Admittedly I haven't seen him live, but looks very athletic on tape and has the required attributes. Played senior SANFL footy late in the season and generating a lot of club interest...

I saw lots of him last year and a bit earlier this year. Competitive fellow. Reads the play really well, definitely looks more comfortable back. Although monstered some lighter KPDs out of the goal square. Apparently measured 197cm at the combine, so looks to have already grown. He must be a...

Geelong's needs really aren't that relevant to this draft. Immediate needs are certainly a topic of discussion, but unless Andrew McGrath magically slides to our first pick, this draft won't be solving any current problems soon. Wells won't be selecting on a needs basis for the sake of it when...

Or it indicates we want to see who is still available and create the option. When you do a mock, it is unbelievable the quality of the players still available in the 50/60/70s. If we miss out on Simpson, no big deal as there will still be good players. The loss is minimal on the potential that a...

If he is available that late and we select him, I'll be doing cartwheels. There are some clubs who rate him top 20 I'm told. Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

Exactly my thinking, but apparently they see him as a talent too good to pass up on. Amazing to think that Macreadie will be overlooked by the Giants considering his status 12 months ago. Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

Around 1700 points. The same as the combined points a premiership team receives for a full draft. Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

Word gathering momentum that if/when GWS are stripped of picks No.15 & 37, they'll only take Setterfield, Perryman & Cumming (pending how high the bid comes). It is becoming more likely by the day that Macreadie, Sproule, Mutch and Garthwaite could be available for all. While a couple were...

He can certainly play. Enormous scope too. Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

Yeah, disappointing he didn't test well. Apparently there is a reason for that, so will be interesting to see how the clubs view it all. I've got reservations on Atkins. Very good VFL player, but some of his weaknesses could be major flaws at the next level. Reads a stoppage slightly late...

He certainly has the most scope of the Cats VFL prospects. AFL standard stoppage attributes, clean and gets his hands high to release. Easy to miss his strengths & doesn't get the opportunity to build big numbers, therefore misses the fanfare from Geelong supporters. Low percentage midfield time...

I saw him play four games for Murray this year and during those, he played a majority of the time in defence. Started up forward in the QF against Dandenong, but was beaten early by young Clavarino. Moved to defence in the second quarter and looked more comfortable. Started in defence in the...

I like your thoughts. Brennan Cox is certainly one who deserves consideration. While he is great in the air, at ground level he is ridiculously composed for his size. Wouldn't surprise me if a club reached in the first round. Alex Villis is a sad story. Rated him highly. Hopefully the latest...

Pick No.24 – Jordan Ridley (Oakleigh Chargers), 192cm, 79kg. One of my favourites in the draft. Very flexible. Can play defence, forward and midfield. Athletic, elite user of the ball and extremely strong overhead. Showed some genuine inside midfield traits throughout the year which is exciting...

Underrated player. Played two great finals in the TAC Cup, but was sort of lost in the McCluggage exposure. Loves to create space from congestion. Wouldn't surprise me if someone took a punt late in the draft. Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

Also needs to be considered that Kersten was looking for greater opportunity as much as anything. Going back to WA and playing with Hamling just ticked even more boxes. You are right though, SPS being in Victoria will help in regards to Cedric Cox. Talk gathering momentum of Carlton being keen...

Apparently very settled in Camperdown. He has developed a close connection with many down there. The risk is minimal for Geelong. Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

Definitely some Jimmy attributes, but it was Ryan O'Keefe that constantly popped in my head when watching live.

Like Menegola, I'll be very surprised if Ruggles doesn't play senior footy in 2016.

Yeah, believe you are thinking of Brenton Rees. I don't recall seeing Ruggles starting at a centre bounce all season.

I'm a big fan of Jock. While he has probably made his name in the forward half, during the limited times he ran through the middle for NSW, he really impressed me at the stoppages. He was involved in some clean, sharp clearances and looked calm in tight. I'm not sure of his endurance, but he has...

Going through his statistics he averaged 2.5 contested marks per game, over a third of his total marks. As suggested, he must have some sticky hands. Also appears to have had the occasional run through the middle and even in the ruck. He has 21 hit outs to his name in one game. He must have a...

There is probably a bit of a gap from the likes of Bonner, Tucker, Cole, White etc to the rest for that particular type. There are some potential later options though. While he isn't exactly tall at 182cm, I think Jack Agostino will make a good HBF/BP at AFL level. Disciplined and a nice...
