    Normally eDPS would be running the show but he's a little time poorer this year so I've offered to do this for him. Ideally we'd have 18 people sign up but if we don't get that by Friday, one or two might have to double up.

    Rules:

    1. Pick trading is allowed, but the points difference have to be within 200 points per the AFL rules or include future picks.
    2. You have 8 hours between 8 am and 10 PM AEDT to make your pick. Otherwise you get the next player on eDPS rankings
    3. Bids can be made and matched.
    4. You sign up, the teams will be randomized using random.org

    • Pick #58 North Select: Zac Becker - Held his own against the best KPF this year, but can play on a variety of sizes. Probably more suited to a medium defender role, might hope he becomes a Laverde style. Has also kicked a couple of bags as a forward. Good overhead and a penetrating kick.

    To keep things moving

    Pick #63 North select Jackson Archer as son of Glenn Archer. Is the less-fed defender version of his old man. North is committed to taking him, and it's going to be their last selection - by matching or otherwise.

    North done for the draft:
    Horne-Francis the best player in the draft, complemented by SA midfielder Matty Roberts who slipped a bit. Murley an outside midfielder with speed - so North have some good midfielders for the next building phase. Big size KPF Monkey Wrench has some potential and could be a monster in a few years time. Good versatile defender in Becker and the wiry father-son in Archer as a couple of defenders to round out the draft. A good mix of players to complement what they already have.

    ghostdog you're up.

    • Pick 59, Port Adelaide

    Jake Soligo
    Soligo is a spritely smaller midfielder. The feeling at Port is that any of Butters, Duursma or Rozee (!) could develop as inside mids with a view to replacing Boaky. Soligo adds depth to the PA on-ball brigade with this in mind. Was touted early by some as a potential second round pick.

    Pick 60, Port Adelaide

    Martin Gleeson
    Gleeson gets thrown a lifeline at Port as a defender who can help raise the standards, pressuring players like Bergman, Burton and Clurey to do better. A great club man who can be relied upon at AFL level and could be invaluable depth in the push for a flag while the window is open.

    Not sure how I'm going with this but I'm having a crack.

    Hawks wrap

    Identified that their current list needs inside and outside mids, maybe some general forwards.

    Erasmus he was a solid pickup. Taller midfielder who can do some damage forward. Been fairly impressed with what i have seen from him. Can play inside and outside midefield as well as forward where he uses him size to mark.

    Ned Long big bodied mid. Few more kinks to work out than Erasmus but still some one to build into a solid contributor. Long seems to be all over the shop in terms of where he is predicted to go. Probably not the best spot to pick him as he may have slid to my next picks.

    Judson Clarke small forward/mid who i think can start as a small forward in the AFL.

    McDonald     another big bodied mid. I didnt have a plan for this pick, maybe a general or small forward. I had McDonald rated a little bit higher so i thiught i would take him as a slider.
     
    boncer34 taking forever, time to move on.
    eth-dog not sure where the mock draft is that you're using.
    Zach Package you're up next.

    • Again a pick that the Lions will probably pass on but,

    Brisbane - #61 - Joel Trudgeon

    19 year old tackle and stat monster, a low ceiling pick and certainly not a guarantee to make it but I reckon he’s value late and at this point a big body who puts his head over it and bangs in is a pretty good bet, worst comes to worst I reckon he’ll cane it in the VFL and apply a bit of selection pressure.

    Duckworth ?

    I'll take Archer as a father-son. North and Saints both done for the draft.

    Taj Woewodin

    • Fremantle bid on Taj Woewodin for shits and gigs eth-dog

    • Taj Woewodin match
  • Index
    • Pick 65: Taj Woewodin (182 cm/77 kg, half back/wing, East Fremantle).

    Taj is very similar to his dad in playing style, quick, good skills and smart. Fremantle are a legitimite chance on bidding here even though I mostly did it to make a poor attempt at humour, as I think he's the best player available at this point in time. He probably spends most of next year in the VFL but that's fine, he'll be a player.

    Others considered: none, father son

    • Pick 66: Eric Benning (196 cm/86 kg, forward/ruck, Claremont).

    I tossed up whether or not to pick him and wait for a bid later but there isn't really much point in waiting. Benning I think should get a bid in the 40's or 50's anyway, as his athleticism and skills are very very good. I can see him being a long term partner to Darcy, his leap makes up for the fact he's 196 cm and his hands are very strong as well.

    Others considered: Jahmal Stretch, Miller Bergman, Luke Nankervis, Jai Serong

    Does Joel play like Mitch Robinson?

    Sounds very similar to him right now

    Pick 67, Carlton

    Hugh Jackson

    A South Australian youngster, Jackson averaged 34 disposals across 11 games in the SANFL U18s earlier this year, playing off half-back and on a wing. Body is light and he's only 18yo. Carlton will look to develop him further in the VFL and training with Walsh and Cerra. Could be our new Kade Simpson? Jackson is also Carlton's final pick for this draft.

    Bailey Rodgers

    • Essendon #69 - Bailey Rogers

    Bit of immediate impact out of the WAFL, potentially the best mid in any of the state leagues and young enough to still play 100 or more games.

    Fully expect Essendon to actually pass here though
