McKenzie
Humphrey
Busslinger
Tsatas
Phillipou

You would think one of them will be a saint, I have ranked most likely to least likely happy for feedback.
Yeah don't ask for feedback. Posters here don't know anything more about it than my dog, and he won't even chase a ball.
 
McKenzie
Humphrey
Busslinger

Yeah good call I reckon

I'd put them in the following from most likely to least likely:

Busslinger
McKenzie
Phillipou
Humphrey
Tsatas

Humphrey and Tsatas have seemed to always be highly sought after leading up to the last, but we're becoming more obsessed with others (Phillipou, Ginbey, etc.). I think they'll both go very high regardless.

Busslinger appears to only have Geelong and West Coast as potential suitors, but I think there will be others who are preferred.

McKenzie is still spoken about amongst the other midfielders around this pick, and it wouldn't surprise me to see him go to Geelong or West Coast.

Phillipou is the wildcard. Could literally go anywhere from 4-10.

Ed Allan, the son of former Fremantle captain and Hawthorn premiership player Ben Allan, has surged into top 10 discussions, and has even been linked with Geelong’s first pick (No.7) which has long been slated for local hope Jhye Clark. Opposition clubs have also connected Allan with West Coast (picks 8 and 12) and St Kilda (pick 9).

And

Axed Collingwood backman Jack Madgen has been in talks with St Kilda over a dual role in which he would play for the Saints’ VFL partner Sandringham while also taking a job in St Kilda’s football department.

Always wary of "bolters", especially if it's only due to their combine testing.

Happy with Madgen, so long as he's not taking a list spot

Will be interesting how that works with the soft cap.
 
And I'm gathering there is not much to do out Finley way

And if you’re wondering, Shadeau isn’t the only unique name amongst the clan.

“Wispa, Joc, Shadeau, Wynta, Jasper, Forest, Jed, Zac, Brittany, Whilloe, Carrissa, James and Brendan,” he explained.

Solid move, I don't know much about the guy but looks like he did the hard yards - always prefer those guys around the club rather than the silver spoon private schoolboys who had it all handed to them.
 
Andy Brayshaw and Clayton Oliver were both bolters, as was Bont I think. But that was probably based on their late season form rather than combine.
Brayshaw had a good season but I don't think many were expecting him to go 2nd overall. His combine results most likely affected that after fantastic showings in the endurance tests like the 2km and the yo-yo (or beep) test

Good sporting family. Sister plays for the Opals and brother used to play for Melb Utd (not sure where he is now).

Versatile Victorian Harley Reid has emerged as an early favourite to be the No. 1 draft pick in 2023 after producing an “unbelievable” bottom-age season which left recruiters in awe.
Reid starred at the national championships for Vic Country to be one of only two bottom-age players included in the Under 18 All-Australian Team.
The 17-year-old also shone brightly across 12 matches as a bottom-age player for the Bendigo Pioneers in the NAB League.
Recruiters have been impressed by Reid’s ball-winning ability, overhead marking capabilities, one-on-one defending, explosive breakaway speed and his strength to fend off opponents.
His ability to impact whether he is playing through the midfield, in defence or in the forward line has also been a big tick.

“I’d pick him at No. 1 in this year’s draft if he was available,” one club recruiting manager said.
“There’s not much he can’t do.”
Reid is one of 30 players to be included in the 2023 NAB AFL Academy squad, featuring a selection of the best 17-year-old footballers from across the country.

The squad is set to come together for an induction camp next month.

Recruiters are tipping next year to be a ‘Super Draft’, with fellow Victorians Nick Watson and Zane Duursma, Gold Coast Suns Academy member Jed Walter, South Australia’s Ashton Moir and Western Australia’s Daniel Curtain among other highly-rated prospects to be included in the AFL Academy squad.
“We all see an enormous amount of potential in all of the players and look forward to watching them grow over the next 12 months,” AFL Academy coach Tarkyn Lockyer said.
“It’s captivating when you get to this time of year and think what could be, how they compare to previous years and individually what sort of players do they play like.”
A further 30 players have been included in the NAB AFLW Academy squad, headlined by South Australian Shineah Goody and West Australian cross-code star Georgie Cleaver.
Goody won the MVP award from this year’s AFLW National Championships, while Cleaver also represents her state in netball.
“The players coming through are outstanding athletes who have great skills and are really driven,” Lockyer said.
“We’re seeing levels of professionalism that are growing year-on-year. For the athletes coming through these days, it’s great to see that AFLW is a first-choice sport.”

I'd take Harley number 1 THIS year. The guy is clearly good enough to be playing AFL ahead of anyone else taken in the next two drafts. Banga debuted at 16. Harley turns 18 early next season. It's the game's loss that he won't play AFL next year.
