That should only happen if we rate him above all draftees available at that point, and getting carried away with his only ever 24 disposal game at SANFL U18's level against a very very depleted South Adelaide U18's team minus Sid Draper (rested) Phoenix Hargrave (League), Dakota Sterzl (Reserves),Jacob Sheean (reserves), Benny Barrett (reserves), all bar dashing wingman Dakota Sterzl the others have been invited to the National/State draft Combines,.

South’s 18’s are in a bit of turmoil at the moment as well have had a few of their regular prospects leave for local clubs - so depth is well down

If he has Max's traits and willingness to get better, I'd be keen on getting his brother. Max is going to be a star.
That's just it though, at this point in time he doesn't. His approach to both the footy and the oppo players is definitely not as physical as Max and his one on one ability isn't in the same ballpark at this time.

Similar rangy build but not quite as tall as Max unless he's grown some since preseason measuring...more a running type Backman and no invite to even the State Draft Combine suggests he's not on too many AFL clubs radar at this point?

I suppose he could be a late call up to the State Combine which has happened with a few individuals that burnt up the latter part of the season/Finals but it's unlikely.

Isn't his phantom guides where clubs are likely to pick which player?
He does a full mock draft a couple of days before the actual draft, which is usually based on the intel he gets from clubs and players etc.

He usually pretty good with the top 10-15 most years.

This is just his rankings on players this year.
 
Just on Jack Michalanney if he was a rookie option why wouldn't we look at a best in class Tobie Travaglia for this type of player. Tobie has so many traits that scream a Will Day type career as a serious possibility.

Or why wouldn't we look at a Lachie Jaques who could possibly slip through to the late/rookie draft. Though probably not a pressing need with Oscar Ryan looking like he has a future, Jaques has had an outstanding year both for the Falcons and VC at the Nationals.

Because we like to use the rookie draft as a half way house.

Meaning what exactly, can you clarify?
We seem to have gone away from the old days of using the rookie list on players with potential, to now using it for players who have already been on the list, but we can't quite delist yet.

Max Michalanney should nominate for the draft next year IMO. Crows will likely lose Walker and Smith, list shouldn't be anywhere near as tight as it is this year.
