Jackson listed as 196cm and a ruckman throws up a couple of anomalies, one of which is about rucks being taken top 10. Seems a real rarity now. Are you factoring in an expectation that he is not just a ruck?
Brodie Grundy type, competes at ground level as an extra midfielder and his leap helps compensate for the height much like Paddy Ryder. Good chance he isnt top 5 next year though as my current exposure to him has been limited to 1 championships game.

Just from the game I saw at Alberton in the U18s he moved like a rover also. ie more NicNat than Sauce Jacobs

Has that 2nd effort that good rucks need

Ryan Gardner? Not ranked?
In the 30s for me at the moment, just a bit outside atm but that could be more to do with the role he has been given with his speed and agility from HB pretty eye-catching.

Adam Carafa, Ryan Sturgess and Josh D’Intinosante are other Knights players I like outside the top 30.

Considering that Rucks usually slide might be a perfect get for Richmond, Would need to grow another 5-6cm though
these days Ruckman under 2 mtrs are rare

Thanks for putting up a board so early, great read. Just a little feedback that I can't read Tom Green's club team in those colours.
Its hard when his local teams colours are those colours haha

I might need to muck around more with the available colours on Excel to make it look a bit nicer, i wouldn't say im the most tech savvy guy out there.

I believe we have Xavier Naish as a father son next year (2019 but not 100%)
any thoughts about where he is at

we do have naish available as father son for next year, he will have to be played in a few different positions for richmond to want to nominate him as one though, nothing flash so far but vision and nous is good, loopy kicks and disposal efficiency need to be cleaned up.

I like the way Poulterbear has done his, not that yours is very different or anything.

Why do you have Mitch O’Neill so low, under age all Australian one of the top midfielders in this crop
Rhys Mathieson was also a bottom age AA and at the time one of the top midfielders so i dont read to much into that. I like O'Neill but ive liked others more at this stage, his kicking worried me in the all-stars game but he was under an injury cloud so i havent marked him too much on that game but he is one ill hope to see a bit of live next year when Tasmania joins the TAC Cup.

I wouldn’t worry about his kick he played with a grade 3 Spained ankle and it was his kicking foot, I really rate your top 30 just would have O’Neill higher

As I have said a few times, I really like Jed McEntee from Sturt. A bit on the short side at the moment, but hard at it and one of the most consistent kids next year. Havent seen him play a bad game.
I also like Anzac Lochowiak from Sturt as well.
He reminds me of David Roden for some reason.
Daniel Sladojevic runs the risk of ending up another Hugo Munn. He can lead and mark, and kick goals, but he isnt an athletic freak like Daniher etc, and doesnt have a big tank like Luko. He isnt tall enough to be that ruck/forward player either.
I have seen him played in defence a few times so maybe the SA coaches are thinking the same.
Also Trent Burgoyne doesnt get enough love. Saw him play a few times this year and he has that Burgoyne silk.

From what I’ve heard from some SA scouts is that McEntee is a Tom Sparrow type so he has a likely range from 25-50. Have not seen him personally thus isn’t in my top 30
