And here is Chris25 opinion on who we should get
Dream scenario (for me at least) would be for Brisbane to take Paddy Dow at #1.
And then my preference would be for Luke Davies-Uniacke at #2. He's the best pure midfielder in the draft for me, and a ball winning inside mid - which is something we really lack. I imagine he'd walk straight into our starting midfield, which would then allow Blakely to continue across half back with Mundy and Fyfe both spending more time forward. Just think he'd be the best pick given the rest of our squad.
But without knowing the kids personally and not having them interviewed them, it's hard to say. It could well be that one of the Vic Metro kids in Adam Cerra or Cameron Rayner appear to be the safer option in term of staying in WA long term. They'd be the 3 players I expect we'll be looking at. With my preferences being Davies-Uniacke, Cerra and then Rayner.
At #5, I think we'll be able open to 'reaching' more. Obviously it depends on who is there, maybe a Cerra or Rayner is still there. Otherwise it's around the mark that Jaidyn Stephenson or Andrew Brayshaw should be going. But I wouldn't be surprised if Sam Hayes is the pick. The club has said they're looking at rucks in this draft, and he's clearly the best. If you can get an elite midfielder at #2, then Hayes is a fine pick at #5. Plus Hayes is just as good, if not better, than any of the KPF's in this draft. Aaron Naughton is the other I think we look at, but that's depending more on how Pearce is recovering and what the club does with Logue - continue him down back, or trial him a bit further up the ground. I have a feeling Jarrod Brander and Darcy Fogarty will be more in the 8-15 range.
My very early thoughts are...
1. Brisbane - Paddy Dow
2. Fremantle - Luke Davies Uniacke
3. Carlton - Adam Cerra
4. North Melbourne - Cameron Rayner
5. Fremantle - Sam Hayes (although I'd rather Stephenson or Brayshaw)
I like Cerra skills, so I would like him at 2 or 5. LDU and Cerra would be a great combo.
