good as callum chambers?
I'd love McGrath, but GWS appear to be in front of us and they want him to.
I would also love a couple of nice, early picks. Alas, with the Gibbs trade and the Tuohy trade going nowhere, and not likely to unless Geelong and Adelaide start being reasonable, that is looking less likely.
One guy I think highly of is Berry: he has come on from the injured nd out of form guy from early in the season. Midyear I wouldn't have touched him, but he ended the season about as well as he could and in a lot of different roles.
I think we need a small forward: one of Ainsworth, Simpkin, Shai Bolton, Willi Rioli and the like. We just don't have any X-Factor in our forward line. Rioli lost a lot of weight and improved his fitness: he now looks almost ready for senior footy. Bolton has pace and X-factor. Ainsworth looks very promising.

Brodie vs Taranto vs SPS
Leaning Brodie myself.
Am I wrong in thinking he could be a lock 200 gamer kind of like Cunnington? He's a safe pick.

I have a good feeling about Berry, have no idea if he's any good, but for some reason, his name suggests to me that he'll end up a very good player.
Ridiculous I know.

I'd agree.
Brodie looks like the sort of player who could slot into our midfield immediately.
Good size, hard working, two way runner, clutch, contested beast, tough, good handle on the pill, good mover.
You're also spot on in saying he's a safe pick, you know what you're going to get.
I like Drew for similar reasons, hope we can nab both of them.
That's why I wouldn't take Brodie at 5, better bang for your buck in the 2nd and 3rd rounders for this type of player

I like the look of Hamish Brayshaw, 4th rounder anyone?

Gotta hand it to FBI. Great read.
If we do manage to snag the Adelaide 2017 first I'd hold it tho
Happy to send out our first next year for 2 good picks this year....
This draft is all about mids we need to be at the pointy end

There is a line there, but I will let that slide through to the keeper

Not for mine.

Very doubtful that we will go for 2 WA boys.

Why? We love our W.A. boys.....Cripps, Boekhorst, Bootsma, Lucas..........why stop now?

There's a couple of names there that maybe should not be mentioned here anymore.
If we go for a WA kid, then I hope it's Powell-Pepper because he has stated that he want s to play his footy in Melbourne, away from the Perth.
I think that Petrevski-Seton said the same thing, but I know that Powell-Pepper has said it.
5 is reaching, unless you were confident that he could play as a full time mid
Also doubt Bolton will be there at 25 so would only be 1

I think SOS likes the Italian boys; Taranto & Gallucci.
Long way to go but I don't think we'd pass on Taranto at #5
