I have a weird feeling that the best player out of this draft will be some obscure late pick who is a late developer. No idea why. Just the vibe.

Cerra getting talked up by Bewick as potential number 1 before injuries. Given our history of picking up players that he’s talked up, wouldn’t be surprised if we take Cerra at 4 if still available.
Could we also give him Mullett’s number 17?

I'd be as suprised if we picked Cerra as i am with night following day. Or is that day following night? I am a tad confused tbh. We i believe would rate UDL first, followed by Dow, Cerra, Raynor and blanket a few others.

None of those was picked in the top ten so obviously they're not who I'm talking about (except Lmac who was a father-son anyway). Cunners and Ziebell would be the example, as much as I love them, they're very vanilla.
Lets explore the less vanilla picks rated in similar light from those drafts.

JZ - pick 9 or,
Pick 6 - Chris Yarran
Pick 8 - Tyrone Vickery
Pick 17 - Sam Blease (the next Boomer)
Pick 20 - Tom Swift

Cunners - Pick 5 or,
Pick 2 - Jack Trengove
Pick 4 - Anthony Morribito
Pick 6 - Gary Rohan
Pick 8 - John Butcher
Pick 11 - Jordan Gysberts
Pick 12 - Kane Lucas
Pick 15 - Christian Howard
Pick 18 - Luke Tapscott


Yeah ok think we could have done a lot lot worse.
Poor Dees picks 2, 11, 17, 18 on Trengove, Gysberts, Blease, Tapscott - 187 games out of 4 first round picks.

While there are a few picked up after JZ that have had better careers, you’d make a strong argument that Cunners is the 3rd or 4th best player from his draft, so a good pick.

On the Poor Dees, you omit T Scully, who they selected at 1 and got 2 seasons out of. 5 bust picks in the top 20!
 

Heaps of fun

Freo gets pick 2 and things could change. Might end up
1. LDU
2. Rayner
3. Cerra
4. Dow

You think we rate Cerra higher than Rayner? Is this based on your s a u c e s, or just opinion?

With 5 picks in the draft (assume Zurhaar an upgrade), who could we possibly be looking after the first two?
Some guys I like later on are Jack Petruccelle (quick inside mid/half forward with crazy talent but inconsistent performance), Tim Kelly (mature age explosive mid/fwd), Zac Bailey (explosive inside mid who plays quite a lot like Luke Schuey, but probably lacks a bit of polish at this point), Jordan Houllahan (high flying half forward with beautiful skills and looks a million bucks when he has the ball, but doesn't win enough of it at this point to go high), Liam Ryan (small forward with freakish athleticism and goal smarts) and Brayden Crossley (raw but talented ruck from GC academy, freakish skills, ball winning ability and cleanness at ground level for a big guy and is my pick to be the best ruck this year).
