Watched the WA game, Brockman should definitely be on our wish list. Jack Martin/SPS like. Would like to see more work rate off the ball but dominant when near it. Quality marking small that we need.

That was his best game this year, he has had an up and down season and lacking consistency quarter to quarter but certainly has raw talent.

He appears to be one of those blokes with linguini arms that is deceptively strong. Capable of being very explosively.
More than anything I think we need to look at complementary players and he seems to have tools that we lack. What’s his range?

He is late/rookie at this stage. He was a state combine invite rather than national so has less club interest than about 12 other WA players

Where are the state combine invites?

Surely we have a nibble, would have thought we’d be in the market for two+ small forwards late to help execute the forward half game plan Ruttens spoken of.

They haven’t been released, I only figured out which WA players where State from a combine player sheet that specifically listed certain players as state

Liken Brockman most to a Brandon Parfitt
I'm not sure he's bad a good enough year to get picked but another big state game outing would do him wonders. The things is he's probably not in a 22-30 man team/squad any other year and didn't get to see that performance.
Let's see how he goes with less dominance up the field

Would people prefer pick 13 this year or Carlton's first next year?
I think Saad gets done for next year's first. Make Carlton think they're going to be that good. Even if they finish 6th we get pick 13 in a stronger draft. Put that on them

Not likely I think his best chance would be as a selection similar to Crauford. He is killing it up in the NT right mostly because he is playing in his preferred position up forward

Would his brief time at Essendon help his cause and wasn’t he tracking better than Teakle?

Would have Baldwin before callow
wonder how long he'll last though. Crows gotta be looking at him as an SA option.
interesting to read the different draft predictions. def gonna watch this years. seems less a formality (plus we're involved again)
Callow looks a beast option to give some time.

Isiah Winder - Very impressive again. Had the ball going there way and was playing a half forward role. I'd like to see more of how he goes when the ball in his field of play the whole time. Loves to get forward of the ball.
He's probably the only one to really report out of it
M.Mallard - Very impressive ruckmen. Basically a left footed Ryder. His kicking skills and decision making elite and a good athlete with good spring to him and has decent size. I'm not sure how comfortable he is with moving away from WA?
DGB - The key defender very impressive again. His hands are some of the best I've seen. His kicking pretty good off the step but when running it can lack a little. Windy conditions don't help. I think he's only a defender even though clubs want to see what he can do forward. If the clubs confident Francis is on the way out then I'd be happy to grab him if we have 2 other top 13 ish picks.
Won't get past Fremantle and likely go much earlier.
Logan McDonald didn't play
I'm not sure who number 15 for Gold was eDPS did some ok things and some poor. Might be Trew. If it is I have question marks on him. The WAFL have him only listed as 184cm aswell
Number 13 for Gold was impressive. Still slightly built. Maybe Josh Browne
Logan McDonald didn't play and not sure why. Maybe felt it was better not to

DGB up forward? Yes please. His height point marking and competitive base would translate very well.

I know eth-dog has a pretty decent argument why Fremantle doesn't need a KPD. Especially trying to get a top end one when they already have useful enough guys holding the key posts.

They have a few young key defenders but I'd say if they grabbed him they'd look to move Pearce on
He will also take time, he's very skinny

Honestly Freo are one of the very few clubs that have no outstanding needs except more experience. Maybe a winger but they can just go best available.
