I don't think it'll be quite that bad, I do think as the draft goes on we should see some breakouts. A lot of the top-end was drafted pretty raw or as KPP's, and there's been a fair few injuries too.
Yeah I more so meant not a KPP. Back in the day we used to call the 198cm Conor Nash a small forward.
Bloody good fws line
Agree on JUH - he would be my 2nd pick. But not sure the other 2 go 3 & 4.
In other drafts, sure, but I'm currently struggling to see much notable competition at the pointy end. The mids, like Perkins, Holmes, Phillips etc have played well in spurts, but without much sustainable consistency. That might be true of the KPFs too, but it's much more difficult to remain consistent as a young forward, so I'm willing to provide more leniency.
I think that drafting a midfielder inside the top 5, you'd want either an outstanding trait, or ultra-consistency. Especially if there's key position players that are showing equal amounts of talent.
. Especially compared to Will Day and JHF who have certain qualities that can make them star midfielders and potentially change games. You're more inclined to select those types of players instead of your Phillips, Perkins. I don't mind player ratings, but in terms of player comparisons, they're not a very good guide because some statistics are heavily favoured over others which results in some weird outcomes.

I like Phillips (for example), he's a tough midfielder, but he's not exactly a player that will be that game breaker. He seems more a jack of all trades type player. I do like him though, he's been good for me the last few weeks in Supercoach
For me JUH, McDonald, TT have shown they can end up being very good key forwards for the next decades. Each of them has kicked a bag on a few occasions or really impressed talent-wise, and the growth potential is obvious. Resultantly, I'd select each of them in the top 5 over the rest of the midfielders (excluding Gulden), both because of their own potential and the fact that the remaining midfielders haven't given me a reason to choose otherwise.
Maybe I am. I do actually really like Holmes, definitely my next favourite, and brings something that Perkins and Phillips doesn't with his speed. I still stand by my ordering, and I'm slightly cynical of this draft class in general, but I'm certainly willing to be proven wrong.
