When you look at the top teams or emerging teams you find that they hit big in consecutive drafts and trade period, hawks hit with Hodge mitchell and Lewis bud and rough all in the space of 3 years the dogs hit daul, stringer mcrea bont in the space of 3 years we have shaz aish adams degoey moore crisp marsh and treloar. With the loss of 2 1at rounders our next 2 second rounders become critical

The below is courtesy of Eastern Rangers in the WA draft prospects thread in the draft forum:

From Claremont and would be 19yo by the time the season starts.

************************
Declan Mountford – 183cm – 71kg - Midfielder

Hard running inside/ outside midfielder from North Albany. Mountford has only made his Colts debut in 2015 and has had an automatic impact for Claremont averaging 25.25 disposals a game over the first five rounds.

I haven't had a great sample of him as a talent to date but the best way id describe it is that he's always there. He's always at the foot the ball in stoppages, always on the outside for hands receive and always in space for the uncontested possession. He reads the play bloody well and when involved will stay involved until the ball is dead.

As far as size goes he's probably a little closer to Rogers in terms of weight, as they're very similar shapes. Not sure he'll make the state squad but he'd be unlucky to miss.

*****************************
Looking at the combine results from this year he looks to have tested really well. He placed 4th in the beep test (15.2) and 4th in the 3km time trial (10:04) so he possesses a good level of endurance. Also was in the top 10 for kicking and clean hands.

In the mocks I've looked at I can't see him in any top 50s maybe he is more of a chance with one of our later picks? Hine special?

Reads pretty good, maybe a late pick
 
I've yet to get myself up to speed with this year's crop, so I'm just going to put it out there.....Daniel Rioli, where is he projected to go and is there any chance of being there at our first pick?

Simply put, I seriously cannot recall anyone with the name Rioli that hasn't been a gun.

Is a bolter. Initially was thought to lack the endurance and production to go top 30 in this draft, but it's become increasingly and painfully obvious that this draft is shallow and inside the 20s is where it drops off severely.

But then he went and put up seriously impressive numbers at the combine. His endurance is good, and his production at the All Stars game was good too. Plus Rioli's historically don't need a lot of touches to impact. He'll very likely get taken in the late teens. Probably by Hawthorn in my opinion and for him, that's probably the best place to go.

If he's there at pick 27, I'd be seriously annoyed if we didn't take him. But he won't be.

Another backman???

We've already got 4 young backline players who are sub 10 games and showing good potential (Scharenberg, Ramsay, Maynard, Marsh)

Plus another 1 who is sub 20 games (Oxley)

Plus another 2 who are sub 50 games (Langdon, Frost)

Plus another 2 who are sub 100 (Williams, Sinclair)

The experienced players are a bit light-on: Brown, Toovey (probably in his last year) maybe Reid, maybe Varcoe

Would have thought our forward line would have been more deserving of top-up?

Whoever picks him up will probably overpay because of his name.
 
We need a project key position player (ideally backline) at 6'4 or better with a frame that can carry 100kg and can move laterally. If Kieran Collins slipped through to pick 27 looks ideal.
Keeffe was our man for a time and Frost will hardly keep opposition coaches and forwards awake at night.
We're have mid 6' size options stacked deep.

I reckon if we're contemplating trading Witts next year we should go after Gach Nyuon.

Ie if we draft Nyuon, it's probably goodbye Witts.

Why would you do that with Grundy there and Cox appearing to be coming along nicely?

what other teams are after a small forward I wonder.

Also, I'd just be interested to know what type of player we would be targeting, small forward, midfielder, key back/forward, best available.......interesting times

Carlton, Brisbane, StKilda, North, and Essendon.

He was pure silk, despite his weight issues.
In fact he was a very, very good player.

He was silk but was lazy, inconsistent, terrible defensively and fat. He was far from a gun at AFL level. In fact he was often a liability.

At times he showed glimpses of what he could have been had he not been lazy, inconsistent, terrible defensively and fat. They were only glimpses.
 
The Royal Sampler said:
I think you still take best available if you only have one pick and it's 27. Having said that, Hine trading back into the top 30 suggests he thinks there's a tier that ends shortly afterward, so he might have a few he likes around that pick. Position should just be a tiebreaker this time.

Well put.

The point still stands, there hasn't been a player at AFL level named Rioli that;s been poor.

Willie Rioli was drafted by Hawthorn in 1990 but never managed a senior game.

There's been plenty of Rioli's playing over the years (at a lower level) who haven't been deemed good enough for the big league, one is at Glenelg in the SANFL currently and he looks nowhere near AFL standard.
