Yeah... but then they don't get the player/key forward they want. In some rare cases a club may pick a player just to force another club to use thier pick early, but I don't see it happening that a club would pick an academy player over the player they want just to force the academy team to use more picks. That would kind of be stupid really.If the inexplicable happens and they don't bid for Mills then Carlton end up with Mills who could well end up being better than Weitering anyway.
It's a no brainer and I hope it happens.
What would be stupid is if Sydney don't take Mills and settle for Joe Blow at pick 33!Yeah... but then they don't get the player/key forward they want.

Got HibberdUnless Hibberd is there, just best available I think, preferably inside mid, small defender, or genuine gut running wingman (probably not we are targeting but I would love to have one in the squad besides Shaw). I've seen the likes of Tucker, Ah Chee, Balic, Mathison, etc. fall anywhere between top 10 and early second round in various mock drafts and I wouldn't mind any of them at 16 or whatever our pick ends up being if they are still there.

Looking around pick 56 and if picking for a needs basis I would happy with any of the following as far as either a small forward or negating small defender or even a decent KPP (mock draft courtesy of knightmare):
49. Richmond – Hisham Kerbatieh (VIC – FWD)
Height: 177cm, Weight: 77kg, DOB: 16/05/1997
Recruited from: Calder Cannons
Range: 20-undrafted
Profile: Talented small forward with a long kick.
50. Gold Coast (via trade) - Blake Hardwick (VIC – FWD)
Height: 181cm, Weight: 78kg, DOB: 05/02/1997
Recruited from: Eastern Ranges
Range: 20-undrafted
Profile: Talented forward who provides heavy scoreboard impact.
51. Essendon (via trade) - Mitch Brown (VIC – KPP)
Height: 196cm, Weight: 93kg, DOB: 28/08/1990
Recruited from: Sandringham (VFL)
Range: 30-undrafted
Profile: Versatile, ready to produce key position player.
52. Fremantle (via trade) – Sam Skinner (VIC – KPP)
Height: 197cm, Weight: 96kg, DOB: 29/06/1997
Recruited from: Gippsland Power
Range: 15-rookie
Profile: Promising key position player who missed much of this season hurt.
53. West Coast (via trade) – Stephen Tahana (SA – MID/DEF)
Height: 183cm, Weight: 78kg, DOB: 02/02/1997
Recruited from: North Adelaide
Range: 20-undrafted
Profile: Hard working negating midfielder/defender with some offensive talent.
I read Tahana is a good lock down defender.. I'm guessing similar size and shape to Lemmens.
Out the lot of them I'd like Hardwick, just needs to work on his endurance and forward pressure
I'd prefer Kerbatieh or Tahana if I had to choose out of them. Admittedly though I have only read a small amount about all of them and haven't watched any highlights, and I'm not even sure we are using 56? But how can you pass up on a name like Kerbatieh. Such a fun name to say. Would surely become a cult hero.

So Co-Captains next year should be Prestia, O'Meara and Lynch... no one will suspect a thing..The old "give a player captaincy so his compelled to stay trick" I like it
