Yes mate.so you wanna pass?
Very stout ruckman that you have picked, he has a bit of width about him, fair lump of a lad.#64 - North Melbourne | Liam Podhajski | Ruck | 202cm/99cm | Calder Cannons
A 202cm mobile ruckman who can play as an extra midfielder. To date, his numbers have been good especially in his last NAB League game finishing with 21 disposals, six tackles, four inside 50s, three rebound 50s, 40 hitouts and a goal.
Thunderstruck
There's a few that aren't taken yet, and might not be that I'd be more than happy if I got in the 30's, so I think it's about individual ranking currently than anything. There's a good 4-5 that are still available that would likely be in my top 40So is this about the current perceived depth of this draft?
How many U19 kids were taken?
I know the two Sandi rucks were taken, and Moyle and Podhajski. Anyone else?
Two other kids I thought about, but was unsure of, were Judson Clarke and Jake Soligo.

Lane is a 19year old who has come on and progressed nicely each week, since the start of last year.
His development in the latter part of last season was marked and whilst he wasn't drafted I am sure he was seriously looked at.
He started the season playing in the reserves and last week made his league debut - 27 hit outs 11 disposals and a goal.
I have kept tabs on him for a while now and he is slowly growing into his body, he has big broad shoulders that will give him the frame work to add some serious size in the next four or five years, he has very long arms and for a guy his size is good at ground level.
Kids his size take time to mature , body wise , but he shows to much ability to pass on him.
As a young developing ruckman he suits our list need.
Obviously between now and the draft his progress in the seniors will be closely monitored by the respective recruiting teams.

By way of general information for those of you who don't get to see a lot of WAFL football there are two players that I would like to bring to your attention, that you may not know much about that I think are worth keeping tracks on as the season progresses.
Jye Amiss East Perth: 195cm 83 kg a KPF who is a very accurate kick at goal and if his team mates can get him the ball on 8-10 occasions then he is good for 2-3 goals. Truth is I almost took him with the pick that I took Luke Taylor with, what gave Taylor the nod was the fact that he can play both ends.

Jack Avery Perth: a Mid / Def another 19 year old and I would not be at all surprised if he get taken in the mid season draft.
He is with out doubt the most " on fire " payer in the WAFL Colts at the moment.
He has only played two games because his clearance from Claremont to Perth was held up in the first week of the season.
In his two Colts game this season he has racked up: 26 and then 39 possessions. He is a contested beast - 190cm and 83 kg.
For those of you wondering why he left Claremont its because he wants to play League football to draw the attention of the recruiters and Claremont has a very well established side that would have been difficult to break into. So the move to Perth will greatly increase his chances to play League.
