Hey mate. Love your work.

Why has Young slipped so far down? I would have loved him or Ash at North. So happy with the selection you have. Even Flanders is attractive.

It’s hard to say in that range especially since he and Ash are flankers and some clubs may steer clear too early. Just about anyone in the 3-14 range could go anywhere depending on club needs and all that.

Can’t go wrong with your pick really

My ideal draft would be your selections in the BF mock draft. Get them over the line

Surprised you have Charlie Comben going before Nick Bryan but for the record I'm thinking the same way.

It’s hard to find a spot for Bryan, have Comben earlier as I think he has most value as a forward that can ruck.

Best part of watching the all stars game every year is seeing the interstate players that I don’t get much vision of, a handful looked ok but the main already known players of course stood out, doing next his rankings will be a pain but my current top 3 would be

Hollands
Campbell
Phillips

I’m hesitant to rate talls highly but like the look of Ugle-Hagan, Grainger-Barass and Thilthorpe (Why can’t their names be as easy to type ugh)

And there'll be more and more hard names to type as well.

What did you think of alex Davies

 

[eDPS]

What did you think of alex Davies

Hard working taller mid, unassuming type that doesn’t do the eye catching stuff and just wins the ball with not much fuss, im not clear on his draft range yet which goes for the whole draft at this stage

How did you see the game of Cody Brand?

 

[eDPS]

How did you see the game of Cody Brand?

Played as he usually did this year for Calder, good key defender who defends first. He took some nice intercepts and showed of his long kicking but yeah he will never be the eye catching type but the type of key defender that does his job every week a bit like an Astbury

It’s hard to find a spot for Bryan, have Comben earlier as I think he has most value as a forward that can ruck.

I have Jackson in the Top 10, and both Comben and Bryan in the Top 25 in this draft. Good year to invest in quality young rucks if you'd like a quality young ruck listwise imo.

Jackson has a great AFL game. A bit of "it" about him. Comben is a great size and contested mark. Bryan is a great size, great athlete and intelligent on the field.

Love your work as always eDPS

Really like Serong as a prospect, think he has game-breaking qualities, but do you think he’s a player that compliments who we have? We already have smaller types in Jones and McHenry, would we be better off going for someone like Flanders or Ash or is Serong just too good to pass up in your opinion?

I like the Jay Rantall pick better....LOL eDPS Onya Lenny Haha

 

[billnats]

You have had Pickett coming to the Roos for as long as I remember? Why the change?
O'Neill decent pick up... was an article saying he was part of our Academy last year until it was realised that was incorrect.

Any more details about Finlay? Seems to mark the ball well down back

I think the Tasmanian ties are what swayed me and playing with Tarryn Thomas last year I would think the North scouts have had O’Neill on their mind for awhile, good chance my next RMD goes back to Pickett as I try and do my best to move the players around each week.

Finlay is a hard one to rate as he is a bit undersized as a key defender but he still plays like one, think he is the type that could put on a bit of muscle without losing his ability to intercept and may project as a Heath Grundy type who wasn’t affected by his lack of height much. Good thing about Finlay is I think he could play a role in his first year.

Could go either way with your pick and a lot may have to do with the players leaving in what type of player is taken, wouldn’t suprise to see you trade down for multiple picks a bit later on.

Serong has a better midfield game than Jones and McHenry and imo is a better Forward than them aswell, his height doesn’t effect as much in the midfield in the same way it doesn’t for Rowel has he is a tough bugger and can win the ball with ease. His marking around the ground for a smaller player to go with his athleticism, aggression and endurance make him imo a guaranteed quality player and will play senior football early.

In relation to your mock draft what's the situation with Malcolm Rosas Jr and the Suns in view of the AFL's ridiculous leg ups they've handed them?

I actually didn’t think of that, I will need to do a bit more research on it and if it goes for this year as Budarick is in their academy aswell and he may be taken for nothing aswell

Yeah I was really hoping Rosas Jr was going to be available with one of mid-late picks we secure for outgoing players. It is definitely this year too.

Great work! Do you have any inkling of where bids for Henry, Macguiness and Green might happen?

Green - Top 10
Henry - 10-20
Maginness - 15-25

My final RMD will include proper spots for bids and I may even use some pick trading aswell

Thoughts on Western from the U17 curtain raiser eDPS? Thought he was just about the best on for the side that got flogged. Dude is rapid

I’ll be honest he did some nice things but nothing that really jumped out to me, was hard to focus on every player as I had a range of players for one team I had to focus on for Draft Central.

Would be nice to watch a replay to focus on every player a bit better but the AFL seems to hate the idea of keeping streamed games on their site lol
