Essendon have found two decent role players in Zerk-Thatcher and Guelfi. Both taken at the back end of the draft.

LDU can. His 2nd half of this year has been outstanding. In a tough year for Nortn he has been incredible.

Good to see him breaking out after a slow start to AFL life. Looks like a genuine gun who can carry a midfield.

Will be interesting to see where LDU is once he hits 100 games. Right now he's played 30 or so less than Brayshaw, which is a fair chunk of footy at a young age.
Last ten weeks he's gone 29 touches, 6.5 clearances, 6.5 inside 50s, 6 score involvements and 520 metres gained per game, in a poor side. That's seriously elite.

Pretty difficult to split Brayshaw, Naughton and O’Brien.
Would be happy with any of those jets.

I get it. Brayshaw had a fantastic year but I don’t think it’s fair to let recency bias to skew your analysis.
Just my opinion.
O’Brien.
Just because they do good windscreen’s, is no reason for putting them next to Brayshaw & Naughton.

I don't think even Mrs O'Brien would put her son in the top 15 of this draft let alone top 3.

Was it a hard choice to go O’Brien over Dow with the joke?

Only 2 players in the competition averaged a goal and 20+ disposals per game this season.

I thought bonts had an average year.
Sonny kicked 40 goals and averaged +20 disposals in 2019 the only player in the afl to do it that year.
I loved it but people were still arguing his position in the AA.
Dylan had a great year if he backs it up he can definitely move up the board
Team 1:
B: Brandon Starcevich (Pick 18) - Sam Taylor (Pick 28) - Charlie Ballard (Pick 42)
HB: Liam Baker (RD Pick 18) - Tom McCartin (Pick 33) - Wil Powell (Pick 19)
C: Adam Cerra (Pick 5) - Luke Davies-Unaicke (Pick 4) - Hunter Clark (Pick 7)
HF: Dylan Moore (Pick 67) - Aaron Naughton (Pick 9) - Zac Bailey (Pick 15)

R: Tom De Koning (Pick 30) - Tim Kelly (Pick 24) - Andrew Brayshaw (Pick 2)
I: Jack Higgins (Pick 17) - Sam Switkowski (Pick 73) - Oscar Allen (Pick 21) - Changkuoth Jiath (Cat B selection)
Team 2:
B: Ben Paton (Pick 46) - Harrison Petty (Pick 37) - Brandon Zerk-Thatcher (Pick 66)
HB: Ed Richards (Pick 16) - Noah Balta (Pick 25) - Nick Coffield (Pick 8)
C: Jaidyn Stephenson (Pick 6) - James Worpel (Pick 45) - Lochie O'Brien (Pick 10)
HF: Matt Guelfi (Pick 76) - Darcy Fogarty (Pick 12) - Charlie Spargo (Pick 29)

I: Lachlan Murphy (RD Pick 38) - Gryan Miers (Pick 57) - Tristan Xerri (Pick 72) - Nathan Murphy (Pick 39)
Midfield depth is really shallow in this draft, but at least we have Brayshaw, LDU, Kelly and Cerra at the top end. Lots of small forwards. Lots. Plenty of defensive talent too.

This would be my order now if redrafted.
1. Naughton
2. Brayshaw.
3. LDU
4. Kelly
5. Rayner
6. Taylor
7. Fritch
8. Ryan
9. Balta
10. Allen
11. Baker
12. Bailey
13. De Koning
14. Mihocek
15. Starcevich
Apologies to Harrison Petty, Cerra, Higgins, Sam Switta, and Fogerty. (who could all rocket back up this list in the future)

I'd disagree with a lot of this (soz)
I'm not sure Brissy supporters would take Rayner over Bailey and Taylor over Kelly for mine, and Kelly will further and futher down this list the next 10 years when he's retired while others are still playing
I do think Kelly will slide down the list but I think Rayner is going to have a better career than Bailey. Also think Kelly is a very good player, just viewed worse because he is on such a lucrative and long contract and has played for such a poor team this year.

I think Bailey is already just about the best version of Rayner and Bailey will get better. Bailey for me
