Ok, will put a poll in this new thread (since the 2020-draft is heading for covid lockdown soon) ... standby.Maybe someone can pick the 4 most likely players for us to draft with pick 1 and poll who everyone in here would like to see? I haven't seen all the players so seeing what consensus would be interesting for the sake of it.
Alrighty... some assumptions:
* Assume we have no compo pick 2 - this zeroes in what you would do with pick 1.
* Let's ignore FS/Academy players we're unlikely to be able to get - assume Hamish makes the requisite bids on WB, Sydney, etc.
* You can have multiple votes (for those who can't make up their minds).
* You can change your vote(s) anytime.
* Voters are publicly visible.
* I'll use Knighmare's current power rankings to pick the 4 or so names that have been posted about most here.
So, the choices:
Trade into 2021 draft
It might look a bit weird to have a pick trade as an option but I reckon we might have a real opportunity to get a low 2020 pick as well as get draft stock for next year when we might really, really want to get Horne. For the sake of this choice, let's say we get an offer to do this - say Swans are desperate for McDonald so will trade pick 4 and their 2021 r1 for pick 1 (including any sweeteners to make the deal acceptable both parties).
2021 PROSPECTS
Mutineer: No team considered not "in contention" is going to be at all keen to trade picks that look to be in the top 5 or 6 if their recruiters have a say with talent the likes of Jason Horne, Tyler Sonsie, Josh Rachele, Josh Rentsch, Ben Hobbs, Josh Sinn, Alex Lucic, Nick Daicos, Sam Banks, Charlie Molan, Cooper Murley just some of the super talents next year and that's not allowing for WA who usually come up with a couple of high end prospects.
Thunderstruck: Next year though looks stacked for mids, the first round will run deep right to the end. Can get a very good player with the last pick in the first round. Have a top 5 pick and it's pants down material.
Roberts played a blinder today lazy 28 touches and 4 goals. SA Under 18 side next year is going to be pretty damn tidy through the middle

Please post who/what you have in mind would be helpful.
Mutineer
Braeden Campbell. Given it will almost certainly be matched I'd probably take Elijah Hollands depending on the medical report of course.....also a lot depends on whether we have pick 2 as well.....if we have pick 2 as well it would make that a lot easier decision.
Just as long as Archie Perkins is there at our GWS pick and Zavier Maher is there at our 2nd round picks....then I'd be truly stoked
I'd sooner Archie Perkins is all, hasn't got the injury ??'s and I think he's a great fit for our list rebuild, not many in this draft with Perkins' speed and athleticism and all round skill set and X factor. Just love his slick decision making and the way he moves the ball on without even blinking.
My ideal draft at this point in time would be :
1 Elijah Hollands
2 Riley Thilthorpe (could possibly go a couple of spots lower if we don't take him)
8 Archie Perkins
20/28 Zavier Maher/Caleb Poulter

Logan McDonald
Current stand out KPF achieving in the WAFL.
Will Phillips
Concerns seem to be possible go home factor.
Elijah Hollands
ACL injuries seem to be what stops him being near universal choice for pick 1.
Riley Thilthorpe
Local Crows supporting lad who might have fallen lower in favour lately, especially with E.Himmelberg's recent improvement.
I can add more player options if some crop up often enough.
