Avery had the chance to go head to head with Williams but consciously avoided the top talent to stay free and accumulate. Best thing for his chances is to pick up the highest rated forward each week he plays colts. Might not rack up the stats he likes - but he needs to show he can win some big one on ones against the best colt forwards not the third best - just my opinion.Watched the second half of Perth V EF Colts.
Jack Avery- seemed to be everywhere. Played in the backline and had 41 touches. Is he a case of should have, could have but didn’t? 19 year olds playing in Colts always seems a difficult place to judge a player.
Liked Josh Browne- hadn’t seen him since the season started and he looks solid and composed.
I rate the EF ruckman McMillan. Good clean hands and a workhorse in the ruck.

How do you know that wasn't the role he was asked to play?Avery had the chance to go head to head with Williams but consciously avoided the top talent to stay free and accumulate.

Josh browne had 13 turnovers and had 30% disposal efficiency. May rack up touches but isn't that damaging
That’s a one off for sure, one of the better ball users in the draft pool by hand and foot. Sticks to limitations with kicking distance but very often hits the mark with his kicks and handballs.Josh browne had 13 turnovers and had 30% disposal efficiency. May rack up touches but isn't that damaging

Yeah which is all very strange if someone with that knowledge is writing on a forum such as this.Those types of stats come from someone within the inner sanctum of the team.
Unless of course they have access to back end of Champion Data.

My early assessment (Post R5) of likely WA draftees (not including overagers)

I'm all aboard the Erasmus hype train, has shown great improvement and is a tough matchup as a fwd and should land mid first round.
Johnson is an obvious first round choice, is a very clean player. Has started the season off slowly after an injury affected pre season but is now playing WAFL league. Needs to win a bit more footy to become more than just a handy player.
Williams is dominating the competition, & I'd love to see him promoted to WAFL League at some stage. May even be the first Key position player drafted.
Dittmar is a favourite, is tough, runs hard and kicks goals. Most likely goes second round IMO.
Van Rooyen was the best performed key fwd coming into 2021, and has played League footy all year with modest returns. Now has glandular fever which is bad news. Even if he doesn't play again all year he will have done enough to be drafted. On performance should end up somewhere back of first round.
Bazzo from Basso hasnt been convincing as a key fwd and probably settles as a key back at AFL level. Hasn't really starred so far but has been solid enough and should go second round somewhere.
Amiss has been solid and hits the scoreboard, just needs to get around the ground a bit more. Has improved where I can see being drafted late.
Edwards seems the only genuine ruck AFL prospect from WA. We all know big men are hard to find! I can see a club taking a punt late draft or as a rookie.
Do people really think that Van Rooyen will drop to the end of the 1st round ?
As a Richmond supporter i would be extremely happy if he ended up a Tiger

Really hoping he gets to the 2 Richmond picksHe has an overall body of work over a number of years, and then he has his recent body of work, which although Glandular Fever affected is less than expected.
Waterman is one Glandular Fever affected footballer, and it took him years to recover.
So I think it’s inevitable that his draft ranking falls.
Others less of an issue, but after they were drafted are: Heeney, Stevenson, Broomhead, Jordan Clarke, Shuey etc
Hopefully it might just be a mild case & a return to playing soon. Saying that, he'd wanna find some form at league level to be a likely first round pick.Do people really think that Van Rooyen will drop to the end of the 1st round ?
You would think he loses a lot of fitness and strength with GFHopefully it might just be a mild case & a return to playing soon. Saying that, he'd wanna find some form at league level to be a likely first round pick.

When do they announce the State 19’s squad? It will be interesting to see how many 19’s are in it.This is my best of the rest
These guys are in the mix for late draft/rookie draft & are in no particular order. I also haven't added any overage (2002 born) players as most clubs have an aversion to drafting these types that dominate the junior ranks.

I'm sure there's a whole bunch i've missed! I reckon there's always hype about family link, brothers, father son picks etc.Might have missed it but no mention of Chad Warner's younger brother? I was lead to believe he was a 30-50 pick... and was a mix between Chad and Will Day... I dont think it was April Fools Day at the time either...

Chad Warner has had a good start at Sydney, lets hope he can go on with it. Corey on the other doesn't rack them up the same or hit the scoreboard as much. Really hasn't improved since last year where Chad exploded in his draft year.
Sorry I missed this.How did young Cleaver go mate? He caught your eye in the Futures last year, seems to be settling into colts footy quite well with some decent numbers.....McMillan seems to have come in leaps n bounds this year....and Jack Williams appears to be EF only avenue to goal.....
