Todd Marshall - a snippet of Kenny in the first video.

With Jay nearing the end and Westy at 30 (only got 5 or so years left in him) a KPF will be on the radar.
 
With players from the Riverina it's going to be more about making sure GWS have to bid as much as possible instead of picking up a player from that region. We can throw our best pick at Marshall but if GES want him and come up with a package of 2nd and 3rd-round picks that outbid us then they get him. Their first bid, which would be Collingwood's will trump us anyway.

The AFL took away GWS's access of Marshall. He is not one of their academy players.

Didn't know that. But there is still the academy system with other players which means GWS have first-round selections with late pick packages. The AFL should have allowed us to hold onto our original country zones in 1997 so that we could build talent and bring in players in that way. We would have got ourselves to AFL standard but not fallen off as we did after 2007.
 
Someone id love for us to bid on is Max Lynch. I think he'll end up the best ruck from the draft. Considering they'll have minimum 3 possibly 4 players going before him, he may be attainable

If Willie Rioli is picked up in the draft Bruce's brain might explode.

I remember wanting to rookie him in his draft year. Seemed a good development prospect, with losing weight the only obstacle.

Looks like he has a strong pair of hands. Leads well too.

Is Bruce a Hawthorn supporter? I was watching a 2009 Port v Hawthorn match and Cyril was playing well and Bruce was gushing over him nearly as much as he does now.

Carn.

Surely you know by now, after decades of Bruce at the forefront of his industry that he gets carried away with enthusiasm about outrageously good talent. Rioli's career as a neutral has been an unquestionable privilege to witness. There have been better, more consistent players over the course of his journey, but from day one he has stepped in and impacted games with moments of decisive brilliance.

Nice kicking action as well. Marks the ball at the highest point which is a talent in itself. Looks a solid prospect and should be around at our first pick.

I really hope he is, but i'm starting to think he won't be.
 
Here's hoping that any drafting of a KPF is more efficient than it has been in the past. I still shudder at some of the drafting we have done in the past with intended KPF players. Looking back on our drafting to 1998 the KPF's that we have taken have been Adam Morgan(37-1999), Barry Brooks(15-2001), Ryan Willits(19-2004), Justin Westhoff(71-2006), John Butcher(8-2009), Daniel Stewart(promoted rookie-2009), Mason Shaw(30-2012), Mitchell Harvey(45-2013), Dougal Howard(56-2014). This is not to say that all of these have been unqualified disasters, the ones that played none or very few games are in bold. Butcher and Howard had injuries and Stewart was in the team during our worst period.
At least with Barry Brooks we managed to pull off some good trading instead of just delisting him for nothing.

We' ve had some poor picks, but are yet to stoop to a Lozza Angwin selection.

Just looking at a couple of the phantom drafts Marshall looks like he could go top 5!

What do you think of Josh Battle, Macca? Could he be a Jack Darling type?

Knightmare thinks we could bid on Brad Scheer from GC Academy. Any chance? Worth it?

Yeah top 5 could happen with Marshall. Had a good champs and has continued to impress after the champs as well. Could be anything. Gold Coast have a couple of first rounders and could be keen if they can manage to work him in whilst also getting Bowes and Scheer. Freo could be keen. Getting Marshall and McCarthy would certainly revitalise their forward line, but then they'd be overlooking Petrevski-Seton in doing so. Richmond would be keen. Collingwood would have been keen if they didnt send their first rounder to GWS.

We might bid on Scheer but as I said, Gold Coast have two first rounders this year and there is no way they are overlooking Bowes or Scheer. I really like Scheer. He's a hard at it talent in the mould of a Sloane, or maybe similar to Ebert as well. Would be well worth it if we got him. Big clearance winner, hard tackler, good skills, good endurance. Could play Round 1 next year.

I like Battle. He kicks goals. He kicks important goals. Has an impact, but needs to get more of the ball. With his running capability, he should be getting a lot more of the ball than what he currently does. Might be a small reach with our first rounder but he'd suit our forward line, his endurance would suit the way we try and play footy and he performs well in big games.
 
Interestingly Callum Twomeys top 20 draft prosepts doesn't feature all Australians Graham, Sharenburg and Battle.

With some clever trading maybe we could land all 3 ? Or maybe Twomeys got no idea.

It's a good draft and there's probably 35 players that would look alright in a top 20 list.

I don't have Graham in my top 40. He is the Larke medallist and had a good champs but I think there's genuine queries over whether his style of game can transfer to AFL footy. He could be the next Sam Mitchell and his lack of leg speed won't be an issue. Or he could be the next Daniel Elstone. He does have a lot going for him though.

With our first, taking out any academy players and assuming that Brodie, McLuggage & Petrevski-Seton and McGrath are gone, my preference would be 1) Ainsworth 2)Marshall 3) Venables. All three i'd be happy with.

I'm really hoping we can get another pick or 2 inside the top 30, but say we only have our 3rd rounder onwards:
3rd rounder: Max Lynch (GWS bid), Matt Guelfi (likely gone, but best case scenario), Will Hayward or Brennan Cox
4th Rounder: Tye Bedford, Noah Hura, Cedric Cox
5th Rounder: Peter Ladhams, Sean Darcy
6th rounder: Chris Jansen, Josh Begley,

Rookies: 3 picks - Jack Roughsedge, Codey Ellison, Oscar Junker
