It's not just the brother thing though, he's genuinely one of the only players in this draft who I see as having genuine star factor. Sure there are kids there who have promise, but I don't see a bigger ceiling than Jevans.
He's going to be a really good player for anyone that decides to pick him up. He's a bit smaller (around 183cm) than Mattaes but he's a brilliant athlete that would tick a lot of boxes for our list. Jevan has a decathlon background, which probably contributes to his explosion around the contest and ability to cover the ground really well.

Breaking his arm earlier this season stopped him getting exposure in the U18s, but I am sure recruiters know that he's got every quality to play at the top level. Captain at Woodville West-Torrens, athlete and can play football. Make it happen Rymple.
 
That's a huge call .....
Huge call considering it is only the second week of July!

I love the idea and romance of having the number twos playing together, but it will all depend on whether Dalrymple and co. believe that he is best available. We have a luxury over the next two years that if we are picking up forwards/half backs that they will have plenty of time to develop, with healthy competition for midfield spots currently.

nice agility, good at finding space in tight, great change of direction in traffic/ability to do a complete 180 when nothing's on, decent acceleration, did look a little messy and fatigued at times but if he's coming off an injury that's to be expected.. would love to snag him!
Looks a bit like Max Holmes/ Taj Hotton

Grab Jevan with our first pick. Both SA teams will be keen and might look to trade back in.

If we get a late first for Roma then I rekon Lachy Dovaston is a real shout.

We wanted to get back into last year's draft for Joe Berry as an elite small forward. Dovaston is that player this year.

Loves to tackle as well which we know will get him in Ross' good books.

Reckon Pou will be late first, will be better players available. If he traded Ro/Steele we might target with that pick
 
Oliver Greeves and Sam Cummings I love. Grlj and Fred look either high boom or bust players imo

Most think Sharp will go to WCE at pick #1 then possibly Cummings if they get a first round compensation for Allen. If still available Cummings would be my first choice otherwise I would be happy with Greeves or Grlj. Very different players but as good as Greeves is an extractor, Grlj is quick and knows how to use his pace to find space.

Grlj just givens me Jones vibes, quick and frantic that can butcher the ball. He hasn't lit up the champs as you'd want for a top 10 picks either

Eagles are looking at
pick 1 CDT
Pick 2 trade to gc before academies
Eagles love to split early first round picks
Eagles are very keen on rodriguez

It's critical we finish lower than essendon although probably isn't likely
Currently
Pick 4 saints
Pick 5 essendon
Pick 6 essendon (Draper trade FA)
Pick 7 essendon (dees trade)

It is highly likely we secure Pick 6 and after academies be Pick 10

True he hasnt been at his best in the champs he is a bit of enigma. We would be picking him (Grlj) on potential which would come with some degree of risk. I just think the speed he plays the game will eventually translate to a very good AFL player. What I love is his ability to work out of congestion and in some ways I see him more like Butters.

Depending on where we finish the club may see him as too much of a risk for such a high pick, which would be fine. Remembering Butters went at pick #12 in his draft.
