I know it's pretty irrelevant to the Dogs, for obvious reasons, but bloody hell Kobe Mutch's weight of numbers and consistency has been just outstanding this year, especially in an Allies team who haven't been putting up huge numbers statistically. He bolted early in the year, however I'm surprised he hasn't further risen on boards; gets to heaps of contests and has a real hunger for the contest, great on both sides, terrific accumulation and tackling numbers and is a nice size given his positional versatility.

Add Perryman to that. From what he has shown he'd just about be the best of the GWS academy players.

I would be very surprised if we haven't scouted him. Playing really well as a small, high marking forward. Like a taller Cyril or perhaps a Jarrah.
Highlights look great. Doesn't have high possession numbers but is really high impact.
Not sure draft range but I would expect Freo to take a look early third round (they don't have a second rounder), unless WC take him late second round.

Or we troll both WA sides again ala Marcus Adams :P
 
If we are looking fir small defenders late in the draft a Snokey from the Northern Knights is Lachlan Murphy. Left Footer with great skills and wins a lot of the footy.

Haven't heard much about him but had a huge game on the weekend. Not really on the map as yet but Dal could pull another Bailey Williams and take him late.

Remember a game against Oakleigh earlier in the year where his last quarter almost won the Knights the game. Down side is he is small at 171cm but the upsides at one of our picks beyond 50 or as a rookie is enough for me to keep an eye out on him as a running defender now. His DE hasn't been under 85% in all his games this year.

http://m.afl.com.au/news/2016-06-29/growth-spurt-shoots-ruckman-into-top-10-draft-prospects

A TWENTY-CENTIMETRE growth spurt has done wonders for the draft prospects of West Australian Tim English, with many observers believing he could be a top-10 pick.

English, now 204cm, was playing school football three years ago for Christ Church Grammar in Claremont, as a 184cm midfielder.

Last year he was captain of that same side and towering over his classmates at 200cm.

The traits English displayed as a mid-sized midfielder – his ability to cover the ground and use the ball well – have been widely apparent for Western Australia at this year's NAB AFL Under-18 Championships.

To see the athletic big man, considered the top ruckman in this year's draft pool, nonchalantly taking three bounces down the outer side of Domain Stadium in Western Australia's game against the Allies two weeks ago, underlined English's unique skillset.

"It (playing like a midfielder) almost counts as a point of difference so I've been trying to use that to my advantage," English told AFL.com.au.

It's not often a player that size can leap over opposing ruckmen at centre bounces and then scrap on the ground for a loose ball with the onballers and those attributes will be on show against Vic Metro at Simonds Stadium, as the Championships conclude on Wednesday.

"I don't have the physique to body out some of the bigger guys yet so I'm really trying to improve on that," English said.

"That's one of my strengths as a ruckman that I'm able to move around the ground relatively well.

"I've been trying to use that and get on the end of a few offensive chains and set it up in the forward line."

English, who turns 19 in August, could already be on an AFL list, if not for a snafu when he was looking to register for last year's draft.

As part of his requirement for attending Christ Church Grammar, a member of WA's Public Schools' Association, English represented his school in football, rather than playing in the WAFL colts competition.

A few recruiters noticed English's potential at school level and tried, without luck, to have him registered for the Claremont colts' second last game of the season against Swan Districts.

To be eligible for the NAB AFL Draft, players must have been registered and played at least one game in the colts.

Here's where the confusion kicked in.

Despite being part of Claremont's under-14s, 15s and 16s squads, English's WAFL registration was rejected after it was determined he was actually zoned to South Fremantle.

English's parents have one residence in Claremont and another in Pingelly, which is part of South Fremantle's country zone.

By then it was too late to have English registered for South Fremantle, ruling him out of the 2015 draft equation.

"I was a little bit disappointed but I couldn't really do too much about it, so there was no point being worried about it," English said.

In some ways, an extra year playing colts football has given English more of a chance to refine his game and work on a few areas he needed to address, including his contested marking.

The attention he has received this season has come as quite a shock.

"Late last year I would have had no idea that this could have all taken off like this," English said.

"I'm enjoying it quite a bit and I'm loving my footy at the moment."
 
My current dream draft, with us likely to pick in the range of the prospect:
1. English -ruck/midfielder
2. Graham -defender/inside mid (M Boyd but faster)
3. Ryan -small/medium forward
Rookie. Frank -medium/tall forward
This would make me very happy.

Mine is:
1. Tim English (Ruck/Forward)
2. Luke Bunker (Inside Mid)
3. A small forward e.g Sam Fowler, Liam Ryan, Tyson Stengle
 
What do you think of Graham? He doesn't have a long kick, but his contested footy is really good.

I reckon he'll be around late first round. His disposal is made to look a bit bad at times due to him kicking the ball wildly forward without looking at times, looks to have some speed over the first 10-15 steps too which is nice to see.

Luke Bunker has had a really good champs surprised he hasn't been talked about more on BF.

If Korewha gets to our second I'm going to be quite happy.

I expect Bunker to be gone and Graham to still be there. Those blind kicks are where he looks bad and he has to fix this in his game. But the early pace is almost to the burst midfielder speed. Think he could also play the Dahl role if he builds his tank.
