Harry's exploded this year and is looking really, really good. Leading the comp for contested marks by a mile. Unfortunately for North, Ben hasn't shown anything at all so far and is looking like a possible bust. They haven't got anything out of Durdin or McKay when they should be integral...

All of us here are experts based on a 2 minute youtube highlights clip and using Twomey/Knightmare phantom drafts to know where a player should go.

Controversial headlines for clicks. Yeah there were a few other contenders for pick 1, but in no way could you classify picking Walsh a 'mistake'...especially when majority of clubs said they'd have picked Walsh too. And rating Bailey Smith as the best midfielder in the draft ahead of Walsh? I...

Reminds me of Ben Brown...tall and mobile. Looks like he'll be a handful and perfect for the modern game.

Lol Harbrow is a great player but doesn't seem captain material...has been pretty awkward on stage, no smile, no pat on the back etc

Lol just making up stuff to try to throw s**t at Carlton. And you'll find most kids not smiling much and looking nervous, since you know, they are getting up on stage in front of a bunch of people and know they're on TV.

Sucks for us then :(

Anyone have an idea on how this year's crop compare to last year's? I remember Kelly and Ryan were talked up pre draft and did indeed end up going for mid 20's picks and have justified those picks this year....plus fritsch who went early 30's. Are this years group possible second rounders? Or...

Would pick him up for a late pick/rookie pick. We have more than enough kids already.

We've got enough young midfield talent for now anyway...our issue is not enough mature gun mids to lead them. Rankine is the the type of player we need...a dangerous medium forward.

Really? Would be surprised given he seems pretty professional and a 'good' kid from the interviews etc i've seen of him so far. Would be really stupid to jeopardise your footy career like that after years of hard work...unless he didn't want West Coast to recruit him.

Um Harry has to get past Big Levi!

On Oliver not hard to believe...especially since Essendon could really do with a big bodied inside mid. Any details on why Plowman hated his Melbourne interview?

It was the right call though...WC need to do a mini-rebuild. Going hard now would have likely seen WC end up in that 5-8 bracket but not really a genuine premiership contender.

A lot of 'experts' have described Higgins as being more of a small forward at AFL level. Stephenson is sliding due his heart condition so we wouldn't exactly be the only club passing up on him. And like i said, Richards has played wing and even with Doc, Williamson & Byrne we still need more...

I'd be very happy with Richards. You know we need more than one half back flanker right and Doc just had an ACL injury? Plus Simmo will retire soon. PLUS Richards has played on the wing as well.

Well to be fair it's been widely speculated that WC acquired all those second round picks for the purpose of drafting some WA talent right? They are some players i've seen mentioned in a number of places of going at those picks. Ryan maybe a bit early but yeah, not outrageous. Also, when...

This may have been asked before but with Carlton likely to have a top 3 pick, just curious if there is a standout midfielder in that range? And how do they stack up against previous years top 3? From what i've read there isn't really a gun mid who ticks all the boxes this year like maybe a...

How do you figure? The academy is presenting them with the opportunity to get these highly rated young guns, e.g. Heeney and Mills who were both considered top 2 picks, for a discounted price...which really is quite unfair. And now we're discussing them getting 3 more highly rated forwards in...

Great...Heeney, Mills and now apparently 3 more gun forwards in the next few years...

Yet Bennell has been inconsistent and had well known issues, while Jack Martin, despite having injuries, hasn't really shown that much at AFL level at this stage...for mine seems a little intimidated by the bigger bodies. Does Peksvi-Seton have the mental capabilities required to be an AFL star?

best ever? thats a big call...would have thought a Deledio, Cotchin or Martin though the term 'best' is subjective?

Any 'project player' or a player with questionable mental strength/character. Eg Lucas, Watson, Bootsma...what a waste of 3 straight years of first round picks that was.
