There's a part of me that is still clinging to the slim chance of one of the elites sliding to us (Wines, Toumpas or Grundy).
Here's my rationale....
GWS will certainly take Whitfield, and quite likely Plowman with 2 of their first 3 picks. The other pick, if not Toumpas, could be O'Rourke, Grundy or even the potential wildcards of Menzel/Stringer.
Melbourne may certainly go with Wines and have made their minds up no matter what...or may see a jet like Grundy and realize he's better for them on needs than Wines and pass on Wines accordingly.
WBD may take Stringer, as he's done significant amounts of training with them apparently so could already be a lock, the other pick could be Toumpas, Grundy or O'Rourke/Macrae, but unlikely to be an inside mid - meaning Wines may slide past them.
That leaves Port next - I bet they'd snap up Grundy if he was available, or if not, certainly take Mayes who is a local boy and someone they've been strongly linked too. Toumpas is local too, and an elite, but perhaps Mayes fulfills their needs better. I doubt they'd take Wines.
Which means potential that Wines can get to us, or to a lesser extent Toumpas.
The wildcards are GWS (or WBD) taking Plowman, Grundy being taken (hopefully not by GWS), meaning WBD/Melb/Port blow a pick on him, and I'm hoping too, that if Stringer/Menzel get picked before us, that'll also potentially free up Wines (or maybe Toumpas though I doubt it) to slide through to 8.
