He should have been pick 17.
Just watched the video on the top draft picks: http://www.afl.com.au/news/2016-07-21/the-nine-most-likely-the-race-for-no1
I get the impression that Tim English is going to be well & truly up there in the draft order, & if so, I would be surprised if Freo don't have him in their sights.
I've previously thought that Sam P-S would be our 1st priority, but starting to wonder. Has some injury risk (back & hammy issues) & we're already pretty well served in the creative midfielder department.
Looking at the pre-draft videos, English is an outstandingly good player for a ruckman - would think that the risk of him not developing into an accomplished senior player would be pretty low. At the very least, I reckon he could be a key defender for us.
Having said all that, would be very happy with any of McCluggage; Brodie; Petrevski-Seton or English. All look really good.

His ground level work is amazing for a kid that is 204cm. It would be like having an extra mid in the team.
I couldn't find any. I've given English a pass on his rucking because it was only 2-3 years ago that he was 184cm, and playing as midfielder. He hasn't played through his junior years as a ruck, so he is still developing in that area. From what I've been hearing some recruiters think he could play CHB....a 204cm rebounding CHB.

I think SPS will be a star as well, so we can draft either SPS or English and have a win.
He won't be a pure ruck in my opinion. He'll be a player of the Lobb variety, and some people in this thread were more than willing to give up pick 3 for Lobb.

I think we will get pick 22 for Mayne. Ross wasn't lying when he said "strap yourselves in", little did we know he meant this for the off-season.
What are your thoughts of going after both, trade out next years first for GWS earliest first, or An early Gold Coast first, GWS and Gold Coast will be needing picks again next year for their scholarship players! I don't think we have the ability of getting Lobb or Hogan in next year, by then we will have a year into a developing tall!
That would be crazy good.

I have my reservations about trading out of next year's 1st round. However, doing it in order to secure two very talented WA boys wouldn't be a bad idea. Does GC need picks for next year? GWS will need the picks but would they do the trade? I'm not so sure we'll do it.
I agree, I don't think we'll get either Lobb or Hogan. Jack Martin on the other hand is a definite possibility.
I can see us getting pick 22 for Mayne. FA compensation depends a lot on how the team losing the player went that year, and fortunately for us we were s**t. Remember we got pick 20 for Palmer and he was terrible when he left too.
The compensation is not dependant on hwo the team is going it is determined on the size of the contract in years and money, it also takes in to consideration the age of the player. in no way shap or form is it determined on how the team is travelling in reagrds to ladder position
Yes I know but if a team gets a pick after their second round pick as compensation, that pick is pick 20 if they came last, as opposed to pick 37 if they came first
It's why Buddy was worth pick 19 and Frawley was worth pick 3
I know we're not going to get any compensation for it, but does anyone think anyone is going to pick up Tendai as a DFA? He's still an elite runner
Looking at the Roos list, I really don't think that is in the right age group. They are looking to rebuild or retool or whatever words that starts with re and Mayne will be 30 in three years.

It could be a fire starter..
It would give cause to procuring hundreds and thousands with the intent of making merriment.

You should ban yourself for that.
North trading board seems to think the Mayne signing with them is now a formality. The anger at their football department is growing by the minute.
