Apologies in advance if my comments suggest that I have any idea what club's are actually thinking 
1…MEL…Jack Watts…KF…VIC…196cms
Melbourne need something special up forward and Watts has the class and presence to be a marquee forward for the next decade plus. Won’t replace Neitz right away though.
2…WCE…Nick Naitanui…R…WA…201cms
AFL football may never see a better athlete. West Coast will have some work to do to get him up to scratch in some skill areas, but all the tools are there. Daniel Rich is their alternative.
3…FRE…Daniel Rich…M…WA…183cms
Inside ball winner and thumping kick. Yarran and Hill are in the mix, but conventional thinking has Rich as the Dockers 1st pick.
4…PTA…Tyrone Vickery…R/KF…VIC…200cms
Perfect fit and best available. Looks destined to become all that Lade has already been and maybe a little bit more. Hartlett, Ziebell and Hurley may tempt Port to go in a different direction.
5…ESS…Hamish Hartlett…M…SA…182cms
Traditionally, the Dons prefer talls or utilities ahead of genuine midfielders, so the selection of Hartlett might surprise. Have also been linked with Ziebell, Hurley, Yarran and Hill.
6…CAR…Michael Hurley…KD…VIC…192cms
Powerhouse defender who rebounds brilliantly and can swing forward and kick goals. A good key forward might be a bigger priority, but Hurley is better than any that are available.
7…BRL…Jack Ziebell…M…VIC…188cms
Versatile and hard at it. Can play just about anywhere and Voss might see a little of himself in him. Hartlett, Swift and Yarran might also come under consideration.
8…RIC…Chris Yarran…F…WA…180cms
Naturally skilled, great goal-sense and brilliant vision and awareness. Will nestle in well with the likes of Deledio, Cotchin, Foley and Tambling…Richmond may soon do some damage in September.
9…KAN…Stephen Hill…M…WA…182cms
An outside midfielder who isn't afraid to get his hands dirty. He's skinny, speedy and skilful and could form a great midfield double-act with Daniel Wells. Lewis Johnston also a chance here.
10…ADL…Jackson Trengove…KP…VIC…197cms
The Crows might prefer to go with the best available midfielder, but Trengove is too impressive a KPP to ignore. Tall and athletic, but can also play football.
11…COL…Steele Sidebottom…M…VIC…182cms
An extra yard of pace would make Steele a top 5 pick. Has top notch skills and finds the footy with ease. The riskier Swift might also be in Collingwood's sights.
12…SYD…Lewis Johnston…KF…SA…192cms
Johnston presents well and has a bit of flair about him. Hall & O'Loughlin are on their last legs and the Swans need some class height up forward. Mckernan might also be an option.
13…STK…Tom Swift…M…WA…190cms
Could he be the best player in this draft? Who knows? The Saints need an injection of midfield class and Swift has it all…or at least had it all as a 15/16 year old. I think he's worth the risk.
14…WBD…Ayce Cordy…R…VIC…202cms (F/S)
Pick 14 is just about right for Ayce, but injury free, a top 10 or top 5 pick may have reflected his true value. Needs to add some weight.
15…GEE…Shaun McKernan…R/KF…VIC…196cms
A clone of his brother who competes well as a ruckman or forward. Mooney and Ottens won't be around forever, so Shaun would be a nice selection.
16…HAW…Phil Davis…KP…SA…193cms
A good key defender is priority 1 for the Hawks, so Davis should be on their radar. He's also linked to the Crows at pick 10. Pelchan says they’ll draft for needs in the first 2 rounds.
17…MEL…Mitch Robinson…M…TAS…188cms
Strong, ready made midfielder with few weaknesses. Dees will like that he can make an immediate impact.
18…WCE…Sam Blease…M…VIC…183cms
Skinny, but seriously speedy wingman, with a lethal boot on him. Would add another dimension to the West Coast midfield. Can do damage with few touches.
19…MEL…Michael Walters…M…WA…177cms
Silky skilled midfielder/forward who regularly hits targets. Represented WA brilliantly at both u16 and u18 level.
20…WCE…Dan Hannebery…M…VIC…182cms
Bottom-ager with crisp skills and good awareness. Any sliding local boys e.g. Walters, Swift, Hill or Yarran would most likely be on their radar for this pick.
21…FRE…James Strauss…M…VIC…185cms
A fairly complete player, who uses the ball well, runs hard and can play multiple positions. Along with Palmer, Rich and Ibbotson, the Dockers midfield is starting to take shape.
22…PTA…Jordan Lisle…KD…VIC…196cms
Good defender or forward at u18 level. Skills are generally good, but makes the odd decision-making error.
23…ESS…Jayden Post…KP…VIC…195cms
If the Dons overlook Hurley, a KPP should be in their plans. Could go anywhere from the late teens to the rookie draft, but has a great range of attributes and many clubs will consider him.
24…FRE…Mitch Brown…KF…VIC…193cms
Hasn't had the TAC Cup exposure that others have had, but has some serious talent. The Dockers already have KF's in Murphy and Campbell, but both have struggled to become regulars thus far.
25…BRL…Adam Cockie…M…WA…182cms
He's quick and tough and has nice skills. Could be available later, but a few clubs are said to be keen.
26…RIC…Tom Lynch…KP…VIC…191cms
Great all-rounder. Presents well across half forward, but is also very good defensively. Is he a KPP or a 3rd tall though?
27…KAN…Nick Suban…D…VIC…179cms
Strong and aggressive, but not overly fast. A very good kick that rebounds well off halfback and could be a mini-Luke Hodge sort of player.
28…ADL…Rhys O'Keeffe…D…SA…187cms
Reminds of Bryce Gibbs. Plays midfield or half back. His skills are good and he gets from A to B quite nicely without having a massive amount of pace. Local product.
29…COL…Dayne Beams…M…QLD…184cms
Seems a class above most of his QLD peers. Works hard through the midfield, takes a strong grab and has good skills.
30…SYD…Jordan Roughead…R…VIC…200cms
With Everitt gone, a ruckman should be targeted by the Swans in this draft. They only have 3 picks and Roughead seems a likely 2nd rounder.
31…WBD…Nick Heyne…F…VIC…187cms
A forward with sticky hands, but can also play in the midfield.
32…WBD…Lance Daly…KF…WA…191cms
Bottom-aged. Strong marking, genuine FF. Leading goal kicker in the WAFL Colts in 2008.
33…GEE…Will Young…KP…VIC…192cms
Scarlett, Harley, Milburn etc aren't getting any younger and the Cats need to find their next generation of defenders. Young is a good athlete, tough and pretty versatile. He can also play forward.
34…HAW…Alistair Smith…M…WA…185cms
Had some injuries this year, but has good pace and is a good ball winner.
35…MEL…Bart McCulloch…R…TAS…199cms
Fast and agile aren’t terms you'd usually use to describe a ruckman, but McCulloch is a super athlete and looks very versatile too.
36…WCE…Jarrad Blight…D…WA…192cms
Could be a bargain. He has ok pace and is a long kick. Mostly plays at half back and had a massive second half of 2008 in the WAFL Colts.
37…FRE…Aaron Cornelius…KF…TAS…192cms
Nice soft hands and has been very good for Tassie over the last 2 years.
38…PTA…Rory Sloane…M…VIC…182cms
Excellent player at TAC Cup level over the last 2 years. Played well for Vic Metro as a small defender, but has clean skills and pace and should become a good AFL midfielder.
39…GEE…Matthew Broadbent…D…SA…189cms
Utility with good skills, even in heavy traffic.
40…CAR…Ryan Schoenmakers…KF…SA…193cms
Could go higher, but would be a great fit for the Blues if he lasts until this selection.
41…BRL…Liam Anthony…M…WA…187cms
Prolific ball winner and goal kicking midfielder in the WAFL. Slightly mature-aged at 21 and should make an immediate impact.
42…PTA…David Zaharakis…M…VIC…180cms
Goal kicking midfielder who should get a shot after being overlooked last year.
43…KAN…Hayden Ballantyne…F…WA…174cms
Blitzed in the WAFL with 75 goals and the Sandover medal in 2008. The Roos will see a bit of Brent Harvey in him, both in terms of size and style.
44…ADL…Casey Sibosado…KP…NT…193cms
Very versatile utility or KPP. Linked to Sydney and Adelaide and likened by some to Adam Goodes.
45…COL…Zach Sengstock…KD…VIC…191cms
Tall flanker or CHB with very sure hands. Adds to Collingwood's tall defensive stocks.
46…COL…Neville Jetta…F…WA…178cms
Gun player and excellent ball-winner at Colts level and should be a good player once he adds some size. I expect him to slide a fair bit.
47…STK…Jarrad Redden…R…SA…202cms
SA's no. 1 young ruckman. Not as athletic as some of the other big guys, but has sound skills. A ruckman might not be a huge priority for the Saints, but King and Gardiner don't have long to go…and Rix has been let go.
48…STK…Riley Milne…KD…VIC…192cms
Should in time become a key defender, but is still very light and looks suited to a 3rd tall or attacking HBF role.
49…GEE…Charlie Sharples…M…NT…180cms
Quick, but not blistering and skilful without having any real x-factor about him. Has some class and kicks goals. Had a good year in the SANFL in 2008.
50…HAW…Ashley Smith…M…VIC…185cms
Excellent long kick and has good speed. Draft camp results were good and he could well go earlier.
51…MEL…Ian Richardson…F…WA…180cms
Too good for the WAFL and should slot into a forward pocket almost immediately.
52…WCE…Matthew Martin…KD…SA…196cms
Played senior footy in the SANFL in the last 3rd of the year and showed a bit. Can play at either end, but the Eagles might look to develop him as a defender.
53…FRE…Daniel Murray…R…WA…200cms
Good aggressive big man who essentially restocks Freo's ruck department after Warnock's departure. Kicking isn’t the best.
54…PTA…Steven Motlop…F…NT…182cms
Very similar player to big bro Daniel. Can run and carry well, without being explosive and takes a good grab. If Choco really wants him, Port might have to pull the trigger a little sooner.
55…ESS…Tom Allwright…M…TAS…185cms
Seems ready-made and does everything alright…excuse the bad pun.
56…FRE…Jaime Sheahan…M…VIC…178cms
Midfielder or small forward who wins plenty of the ball.
57…BRL…Clancee Pearce…D…WA…183cms
His competitiveness and leadership potential cannot be denied, but I think he'll slide.
58…RIC…Kade Klemke…D…NSW…180cms
Tough defender/midfield with solid skills.
59…KAN…Tyson Slattery…D…SA…189cms
Not a great kick, but a good competitor. Good size too and suited to a back pocket or half back flank.
60…ADL…Mitchell Banner…M…VIC…178cms
Drifts in and out games, but is and pretty good package all round and should be able to improve his consistency.
61…SYD…Luke Shuey…M…VIC…185cms
Genuine inside midfielder. His kicking isn’t the best, but his head over the ball style suits the Swans.
62…STK…Paul Cahill…KF…SA…192cms
Tall forward who wasn't outstanding in the u18 National Champs, but had his moments.
63…HAW…Tom Hislop…M…ESS…186cms
Rugged inside midfielder with discipline issues, but Hawthorn seemed keen during trade week and Tom should get another crack at it.
64…MEL…Taylor Gilchrist…M…VIC…189cms
Tall and versatile midfielder or utility with good disposal.
65…CAR…Jason Davenport…M…GEE…185cms
Ex-Cat Davenport deserves another shot. His disposal isn't perfect, but he's a good ball carrier and wins heaps of it at VFL level. Geelong's midfield was just too hard to crack.
66…PTA…Michael Still…KF…VIC…192cms
Strong marking key forward.
67…ESS…Zachary Clarke…R…VIC…203cms
A real project that’ll need some time. His skills are good, but needs to approach ruck contests with more authority.
68…FRE…Matt Deboer…M…WA…187cms
Poor skills at times, but accumulates possessions at will.
69…BRL…Steve Gaertner…KD…VIC…198cms
Might slide to the rookie draft, but is a top athlete and has all the attributes to play at CHB.
70…RIC…Tom Hill…R/KF…VIC…199cms
Another project ruckman with nice skills. Bottom aged and needs some time to develop.
71…KAN…Liam Jones…KF…TAS…192cms
Strong marking bottom-aged key forward.
72…ADL…Chris Hall…F…SA…179cms
Slick and slender small forward with pace.
73…COL…Tom Simpkin…D…VIC…190cms
Defender or wingman standing at a versatile 190cms.
74…STK…Luke Rounds…M…VIC…181cms
Bottom-aged midfielder who tested well at the state screening and has some class.
75…HAW…Alex Stoop…D…SA…189cms
Sturdy tallish defender.
76…MEL…PASS
Pass to claim the no 1 PSD pick.
77…FRE…PASS
Pass for PSD pick.
78…PTA…Tom Rockcliff…F…VIC…183cms
Paul Medhust type who could become a good midfielder with the right training and work ethic.
79…ESS…PASS
Pass for PSD pick.
80…CAR…Caleb Tiller…F…VIC…187cms
Bottom-aged and will need a year or two to fill out. Has genuine class and plays taller than he is…although may still grow a little.
81…BRL…Nick Davis…F…SYD…184cms
Only the third player to be recycled.
82…BRL…PASS
Pass for PSD pick…unsure if they’ll leave the door open for Cousins.
83…STK…PASS
Pass to claim Ben Cousins in the PSD. May go Nathan Carroll if Lions take Cousins.
84…PTA…PASS
Pass for PSD pick.
85…CAR…PASS
Pass to claim Chris Johnson in the PSD.
Bottom-aged players unlucky to miss…
Kieran King, Liam Shiels, Johnny Raynar, Dylan McNeil, Anthony Long, Jake Walsh and Brad Mangan.
And some good Rookie or PSD options…

Naturally skilled, great goal-sense and brilliant vision and awareness. Will nestle in well with the likes of Deledio, Cotchin, Foley and Tambling…Richmond may soon do some damage in September.
