Graham, Wright and Hrovat should all be there at Gold Coasts pick 26. They will go best available at pick 13 IMO which could be Vlaudstin. Longeran isn't best available at pick 13.
Hrovat won't last past pick 21
 
We only have 1 pick even worth using and that is 13, with Cameron being a zone selection and Horsley coming off the rookie list, we only need to use 1 pick, will be looking for the best inside mid still in contention something we serverly lack. Need someone to feed the outside runners.

Do we have 26 too? Haha I suck ummm I would go best around then, inside mid first and foremost, it is what we need.

Suns don't have #26 mate. Traded it to the Saints in the Hickey deal.

We have #13, #57, #87, #105, #123

So best inside mid at #13, #57 Horsely rookie upgrade, #87 Clay Cameron QLD zone pick... as the 3 mandatory picks.

Then I am hoping we make senior list space so at #105 we can pick another inside mid Andrew Boston as a QLD zone pick...

And then no one seems to know whether we officially have to pick mini-draft Jaegar O'Meara with our final pick in the ND or simply register him on the senior list in the 1st list lodgement this week. Either way, he does not count towards 1 of the 3 mandatory picks so doesn't matter. (Same as the Crows with Crouch).
 
Its interesting as a few folks have suggested their clubs will be looking for rucks and KPD and have to say I think there wont be that many around late. I think a few of them might look to the rookie draft.

If you want a good KPP then you better do it with your first round pick IMO. Its interesting find out if there have been any gem KPP picked up late in the draft (in particular defenders).
From the afl site:

5. Brian Lake (pick 71, 2001)
They're still not a happy team at Hawthorn, thanks to their latest grand final loss to Sydney, but recruiting former Bulldog Lake will have helped lift the mood. The two-time All Australian started his career in the "super draft" of 2001, albeit at the less than super number of pick 71. Quick, strong and an excellent kick, he's been one of the AFL's best defenders for the best part a decade (provided we don't dwell on a horrible 2011).
3. Alastair Lynch (pick 50, 1986)
Lynch was comfortably the best player in the inaugural national draft – so everybody naturally ignored him. Fitzroy finally used their fourth pick on the burly Tasmanian, and he didn't take long to justify their faith by becoming an excellent full-back, winning All Australian and State of Origin selection. But Lynch's career really took off when he moved to the forward line – and then to the Brisbane Bears in a 10-year deal with the Bears. Immediately made co-captain, we went on to notch up three premierships, 300 games and a club record 633 goals. Not bad for a man who spent so much time on the last line of defence, and almost retired due to chronic fatigue syndrome that plagued him for several years.
2. Chris Grant (pick 105, 1998)
According to football's brightest minds, the 1988 draft contained 104 players who were better than Grant. These included the three top picks - Alex McDonald, Todd Breman and Carl Dilena - whose feats at the highest level were easily surpassed by a rangy 15-year-old from Daylesford. A two-time All-Australian and three-time best and fairest, who racked up a then-club record 341 games, the Bulldog champion should have won the Brownlow in 1997, but was ineligible due to suspension. He should also get a prize for managing to kick over 500 goals while playing practically half his career at half back.
 
I think (hope) we go for the best midfielder available with our first pick (pick 9). Personally hoping for one of Garlett or Macrae but not too fussed. We need a pacy outside midfielder who can break the lines but we also need to get a tough inside ball winner (who can hopefully take Tuck's place in a few years).

I think we will have the 4 picks so hopefully one of the later ones is used to pick up a mature age ruck for depth. Currie would be awesome.
 
OK, so now that we have missed out on Mitch Brown, I imagine we will be hoping that Tanner Smith or Clurey slip down to 25/26 (which may become 24/25, if Adelaide lose their pick 20) to help out our key defensive stock (at least long term).

We'll also be hoping that Tippett nominates for the ND, requiring Sydney to use their first round pick on him. That is because we'll probably be hoping that someone else slips through from our top 20 and this will give us a better chance of grabbing them with our other pick there. Wouldn't necessarily matter where they play I don't think (as long as they are not a "small forward" as we have enough of them!)

With our 40's picks we'll probably go best available with one of them, although it will depend on who we picked up with our 20's picks and with our last live pick we may grab someone we believe can play FB immediately, like a Joel Tippett, or Justin Hardy, from the SANFL.
 
I have it on good authority that we will draft 4 guns;).........2 possibly 3 of which will be delisted in 3 years:(
 
Best Avaliable mid at 16... With the exceptions of these Jake Stringer (Utl), Troy Menzel (Fwd/Mid), Tom Clurey (KD) (in that order if avaliable)
Pick 79 Josh Walker rookie upgrade
Pick 97 Jesse Stringer upgrade

i think you might get a late pick or two and wouldnt mind betting guys like Gillies, Frost , Ross, Martin etc might feature as players who could add depth immediately.

WCE should go of a couple of young midfielders in ND and projec ruck and KPP in Rookie Draft
 
If, on the slight, tiny, miniscule chance we don't lose our picks...

We really need a KPD, especially a rebounding one. Will let Talia move to FB.
AND an outside midfielder with an emphasis on pace and kicking.

Oh, you'll have picks.

They mightn't start until the 3rd/4th round or something (once the lights are off and everyone else has gone home?), but there is no question you'll have picks.

We could use a backup Ruckman, a project KPF, another outside midfielder and a small forward.

We have 3 spots on the main list left.
Pick 29: Outside Midfielder/KPF
Pick 68: Osbourne

Think we'll pick up a backup Ruckman in delisted free agency. One of Seaby/Stephenson.

Membrey would be perfect for us, but no doubt he'll be long gone.
