Yeah, top 3 even, however, the likes of Callaghan, Ward, Andrew, Gibcus, Erasmus, Hobbs and Amiss appear to have pushed up the boards past him and you’d think there is now a chance he could slip as far as our first selection at pick 16(after Daicos and Darcy bids). I’d still expect him to fall somewhere in the handful of selections just before ours but I’d love if he came to us, he has elite attribute’s in an area we need as well e.g. his pace. I wouldn’t be surprised if he tested really well at the combine and it regenerated some hype around him that see’s him fall in the top 10 come draft night. If that is the case I could happily settle with Wilmot or Chesser as somewhat similar types.
No secret Mac Andrew is my undisputed favourite in this years draft class but with him firming as a top 10 and potentially even top 5 pick, I’d love for us to end up with one of Sinn, Goater or Wanganeen-Milera at our first pick.
FWIW I’d happily package up our two first round selections to move up and pick Mac Andrew, I think he is going to be a game changer and could add something similar for us that Luke Jackson provides the Demons. If we were to do that though I’d want a selection around picks 25-30 coming back so we could add another mid or flanker type e.g. Sam Butler or Zac Taylor.
I’m really excited about what this draft could do for our list build. If we can utilise our two first round selections in that same range we selected Bailey and Starcevich a few years back and they end up of similar calibre to those guys, look out, it’ll do wonders for our team both short and long term.
