Brodie Grundy Mark II?

We barely missed out on him in 2012 too. I was happy to take him at 5 or 6 at the time.

I'd be very happy with English, although it would put BTC on notice a bit you'd think?

Not really I see rough and Boyd continuing their ruck/forward combo with BTC being the number 1 ruck at VFL level. English would then be able to develop his whole game for a couple of years.

 

[gangsta deluxe]

He's bulked up to 92kg and is focussed on weight gain. I like the sound of this. Very excited about English.

I think Pan mentioned that Dal would pick if he was there? Can't recall.

 

[therust]

I didn't say I would take Grundy now, I said I was happy to take him at the time.

 

[therust]

Worth noting that we added Goetz last year (who was a bust and has been cut) and have since lost Minson too, leaving us with only 3 ruck options. None of them are particular tall (all of roughead, boyd and campbell are 200cm exactly) and none of them have been able to consistently dominate the tapouts at AFL Level. I'd also like to think Boyd will become more of a permanent forward as the years go by.

Taking all that into account, a ruckman should absolutely be a high priority. English at 18 should be a no-brainer, even if his tapwork isn't a strength.

Dylan Whimpress met with the club according to some poster on here. No idea if it's remotely true or not. He's another one of those left footer South Australians

Hopefully he's more Whimpressive than Howard and Fuller

I'm very sorry

Lol Jesus you just know he'll become a whipping boy with a name like that.

ONE of South Adelaide’s top draft prospects catches a train from Gawler to home games and has taken some Fridays off school to get to Panthers trainings.

Dylan Whimpress lives in the small town of Freeling – a 90-minute drive from South’s Noarlunga base.

The 18-year-old half-back flanker joined the Panthers in 2013 while he was living in Seaford and remained loyal to them despite moving back to the Lower Mid-North, where he grew up, in June last year.

South considered Whimpress a “fly-in” player this season, allowing him to train with his junior club Freeling Redlegs during the week.

His 90km, near two-hour journey to Hickinbotham Oval typically includes getting dropped off at Gawler station, catching a train into the CBD and another onto Noarlunga, then walking to the ground.

“It was a fair commitment and I had to make a lot of sacrifices but obviously I was happy to do that for South because they had done so much for me,” Whimpress says.

“On the train, I’d usually listen to music or do a bit of homework, otherwise I’d have to pack my own food to prepare myself for games or trainings.”

Whimpress – one of two Panthers to be invited to either the draft combine or state screening this year – says he has not seriously considered changing to a club closer to home because he is happy at Noarlunga.

He played 15 games this season for South’s under-18s and one with the state under-18s.

After getting called up to the Panthers’ reserves for their final two matches, Whimpress missed three schooldays at Kapunda High so he could make it to senior trainings on Friday nights.

“South gave me the opportunity to come down there on Fridays so I took the opportunity and school didn’t mind that I was doing it (taking days off).”

Whimpress’s parents spend Saturday mornings watching his younger brothers Josh, 13, Brayden, 7 and Caleb, 7, play for Freeling before driving to Noarlunga for his games.

For away matches, Whimpress stays with his grandparents in Modbury.

“The family had to make some sacrifices for me and South supported me a lot.”

Whimpress was playing juniors with Aldinga Sharks three years ago when South talent manager and under-18 coach Tony Bamford invited him to the club.

On Saturday, Whimpress will test for AFL recruiters at the SA draft screening.

“I’d love to play AFL – it’s been my dream since I was a little kid.

“It’d mean a lot to me and my family because I’d know that all my hard work and theirs would be worth it.”

1. ESSENDON – ANDY McGRATH (Sandringham Dragons)

H: 179cm W: 77kg

Position: half-back/midfielder

From Round 1 Bomber fans will love this future leader’s explosive pace and creativity. Built for the modern game and has a knack of rising in big games. John Worsfold has declared height no barrier. Think Jason Johannisen.

THE TWIST: Plenty of clubs rate Hugh McCluggage at No.1. Essendon has kept this selection under lock and key.

2. GWS –TIM TARANTO (Sandringham Dragons)

H: 186cm W: 84kg

Position: midfielder/forward

Contested marking has some thinking Nat Fyfe. A game-changing midfielder who kicks goals and has come up the order with a bullet. Could become a premiership player in year one.

THE TWIST: GWS identified McGrath as its man months ago. Will take him if the Bombers don’t, earmarked as a defensive forward and then Heath Shaw replacement.

3. BRISBANE LIONS – HUGH McCLUGGAGE (North Ballarat Rebels)

H: 186cm W: 76kg

Position: goalkicking midfielder

Full-forward Josh Schache will clap his hands if the McCluggage unpacks his bags at the Gabba. Elite finisher who moves as coolly as Scott Pendlebury.

THE TWIST: If McCluggage is crowned No.1, they are likely to snare Ben Ainsworth. The small forward is no flight risk – he wants to be a Lion.

4. GOLD COAST – BEN AINSWORTH (Gippsland Power)

H: 178cm W: 76kg

Position: small forward

Placing this powerful goalkicker at the feet of Tom Lynch and Peter Wright will create havoc. Final month showed he’s a midfield threat.

THE TWIST: Again hinging on Essendon. If McCluggage is dux, Tim Taranto should weave past GWS and Brisbane and into the Suns’ clutches.

5. GWS – WILL SETTERFIELD (Sandringham Dragons/GWS Academy)

H: 189cm W: 80kg

Position: Inside midfielder

A bid from Carlton that the Giants will match. Could Setterfield be the best? His 16 tackles and 10 clearances in a TAC Cup Grand Final screamed future star. Likely to start in the NEAFL, and have a queue of clubs wanting to prise him out.

THE TWIST: Carlton has crunched the numbers and after the AFL allowed GWS to keep its picks a bid is expected here. Fair price, but is the bidding system supposed to be about mathematics or a pure draft?

6. CARLTON – SAM PETREVSKI-SETON (Claremont)

H: 180cm W: 73kg

Position: Midfielder

Most think silk, but tackles and contested numbers huge in the WAFL. Complements Patrick Cripps beautifully.

THE TWIST: Late mail had Jack Scrimshaw in with a sniff. But SOS has liked SPS for a long time and he wants to play in Melbourne.

7. GOLD COAST – GRIFFIN LOGUE (Swan Districts)

H: 191cm W: 94kg

Position: Key defender

Steven May, Rory Thompson and Logue – that’s a dependable backline. This Josh Gibson-type is as athletic as they come and ready for Round 1. Rocket will love that.

THE TWIST: Sharp strategy needed – who do the Dockers want most? Must take that player here.

8. FREMANTLE – JACK SCRIMSHAW (Sandringham Dragons)

H: 193cm W: 84kg

Position: Utility

The prototype. Ace kicking action and can play anywhere, but excels intercepting across half-back. Talent to burn.

THE TWIST: Can they pass up local ruckman Tim English? They need an Aaron Sandilands replacement at some stage.

9. GOLD COAST – TIM ENGLISH (South Fremantle)

H: 205cm W: 90kg

Position: Ruckman

Standout ruckman and best prospect in years. Mobile and wins plenty of the ball, ala Dean Cox. But needs to add 8-10kgs.

THE TWIST: Patience needed but with four early picks the Suns have the luxury of pulling trigger. Or will Will Brodie beckon?

10. GOLD COAST – JACK BOWES (Cairns Saints/Gold Coast Academy)

H: 187cm W: 78kg

Position: Midfielder

A bid from Sydney that the Suns will match. The eyes of Tom Lynch and Peter Wright will light up when they lead towards Bowes, who has eagle vision and a touch of Simon Black about him.

THE TWIST: There is none. Bowes delivers Gold Coast its first academy star, and if a bid does not come until here he walks in as the biggest first-round bargain.

11. SYDNEY – WILL BRODIE (Murray Bushrangers)

H: 188cm W: 82kg

Position: Inside midfielder

The Swans were smashed in outside run in finals, but at this pick bull Brodie is too hard to pass up. Long in the No.1 frame, could win next year’s Rising Star and takes Tom Mitchell’s place.

THE TWIST: Jy Simpkin would be a better fit and they have long loved Logue. Could bid on GWS academy gun Isaac Cumming.

12. GWS GIANTS – HARRY PERRYMAN (Collingullie-GP/GWS Academy)

H: 184cm W: 70kg

Position: Halfback

A bid from North Melbourne that the Giants will match. Not the quickest, but clean on both feet and a footy diehard his teammates will love. Can play anywhere, like a James Kelly.

THE TWIST: There is none. Perryman is GWS-bound through its rich academy, and if North Melbourne doesn’t bid here Port Adelaide might.

13. NORTH MELBOURNE – JY SIMPKIN (Murray Bushrangers)

H: 182cm W: 75kg

Position: Half-forward

A broken leg won’t scare any clubs off and Simpkin was top-10 before that April injury. Would liven up the rebuilding Roos attack. Clever sidestep.

THE TWIST: Oliver Florent is up to his eyeballs for this pick as the Kangas chase class. If Brodie slipped he would be difficult to ignore.

14. WEST COAST – JARROD BERRY (North Ballarat Rebels)

H: 191cm W: 82kg

Position: Defender

All-Australian half-back flank who is extremely versatile, which modern footy demands. Leadership personified. Safe bet.

THE TWIST: Eagles really like tall defender Josh Rotham, but will probably hope he’s at their next pick. A top-10 slider would likely trump Berry. Could it be English?

15. GWS GIANTS – ISAAC CUMMING (North Broken Hill/GWS Academy)

H: 184cm W: 74kg

Position: Defender

A bid from Adelaide that the Giants will match. A late invite to Friday’s draft suggests a bid could even come inside top 10. Remember Nakia Cockatoo’s 11th hour arrival in 2014? One of the better kicks.

THE TWIST: None. GWS will match the bid after the AFL decided not to strip it of draft picks.

16. ADELAIDE – WILL HAYWARD (North Adelaide)

H: 185cm W: 77kg

Position: Forward

Another layer of spark to a lethal attack. Nine goals in a preliminary final and four in a Grand Final shows he has tricks. Booming kick. Where is Troy Menzel at?

THE TWIST: The Crows are very keen on Cedric Cox and will also consider power athlete Jordan Galluci.

17. PORT ADELAIDE – ALEX WITHERDEN (Geelong Falcons)

H: 186cm W: 80kg

Position: Defender

A broken leg denied Witherden the chance to develop into a midfielder, but boasts a booming right foot and will come ready for pre-season. Little return from previous drafts means Port must nail this pick.

THE TWIST: If Hayward slips he would be handy and it will be interesting to see who they rank higher – Witherden or Jordan Galluci?

18. BRISBANE LIONS – DANIEL VENABLES (Western Jets)

H: 185cm W: 82kg

Position: Midfielder

Injuries restricted his 2016 but Venables is a quality over quantity disposals winner and just turned 18. Grandson of North Melbourne’s 1930-31 captain Johnny Lewis.

THE TWIST: If Berry is available he’d be a logical combination with McCluggage. North Ballarat and Vic Country teammates would help each other settle.

19. PORT ADELAIDE – TODD MARSHALL (Murray Bushrangers)

H: 197cm W: 86kg

Position: Key forward

Boom or bust pick, but with Butcher and Schulz gone Marshall makes sense. He only teased this year but glows with potential. Trumps the Dogs by one pick.

THE TWIST: With multiple first-round picks the Power could read out English, should the ruckman slide like Brodie Grundy.

20. WESTERN BULLDOGS – CEDRIC COX (North Ballarat Rebels)

H: 184cm W: 70kg

Position: Defender

Halls Creek to Camperdown to the Kennel. Blessed with ability, Cox’s blistering run and link-up work from half-back caught the Dogs’ eye. Graph charting the right way.

THE TWIST: Todd Marshall seems the No.1 priority and they also like Hayward. Dalrymple’s record means you’d back whoever they grab to blossom.

21. SYDNEY – LUKE RYAN (Coburg VFL)

H: 185cm W: 87kg

Position: Halfback

Swans monitored Ryan at the Calder Cannons and loved his breakout VFL year as an intercept defender. Reads the play beautifully, resembling Easton Wood.

THE TWIST: John Longmire met Florent last Sunday and so passing twice would be tough. Could be Brennan Cox, unless Logue reaches their first pick.

22. ESSENDON – OLIVER FLORENT (Sandringham Dragons)

H: 182cm W: 74kg

Position: Half-forward/midfielder

Sandy teammates Florent and McGrath would be a dream package. This classy user is resilient and has learnt trundles from Luke Breust.

23. BRISBANE LIONS – JORDAN GALLUCI (Eastern Ranges)

H: 180cm W: 78kg

Position: Midfielder

The Vic Metro co-captain is a ripping find here. Big leap, power athlete and once scored a 226-point SuperCoach game in the TAC Cup. Chris Fagan would be beaming.

24. BRISBANE LIONS – JACK GRAHAM (North Adelaide)

H: 180cm W: 81kg

Position: Midfielder

The Lions have been dead last in contested footy for some time. This strong midfielder captained South Australia and wins his own ball.

25. ST KILDA – JOSH BATTLE (Dandenong Stingrays)

H: 192cm W: 89kg

Position: Key forward

Elite endurance but lacks a bit of zip, Battle shapes as a third forward. Would add yet another dimension to a Saints attack swelling in potency. Added Jack Steele and Koby Stevens via trade so might be OK for midfielders.

26. GEELONG – SAM POWELL-PEPPER (East Perth)

H: 187cm W: 90kg

Position: Inside midfielder

Powerful midfielder who is too good to ignore here. Has never recorded 30 disposals, but a respected young man who can burst through packs.

27. CARLTON – SHAI BOLTON (South Fremantle)

H: 175cm W: 69kg

Position: Outside midfielder

Another West Australian and more outside run, which the Blues desire. Bolton’s pace sizzles and he shone in the All-Stars game.

28. WESTERN BULLDOGS – JORDAN RIDLEY (Oakleigh Chargers)

H: 192cm W: 79kg

Position: Key defender

The Dogs lost Joel Hamling and Dale Morris can’t go on forever. Ridley is versatile and wins a lot of the ball, ticks under Bevo. Might also consider Footscray stars Ben Long and Mitch Hannan, the speccy king.

29. RICHMOND – ELLIOT HIMMELBERG (Redlands)

H: 196cm W: 84kg

Position: Defender

Key back just keeps growing and plays with an aggressive streak Tiger fans will like. Brother Harrison debuted for GWS this year.

30. COLLINGWOOD – BRENNAN COX (Woodville-West Torrens)

H: 193cm W: 92kg

Position: Key defender

With smalls Daicos and Brown to come the Pies fill a hole and go tall backman here. Strong overhead.
