I do not have another pick do I. Unless I can delist Jarrad Grant.

This is a good pick up and an underrated prospect. Has some draftable qualities with his speed, hurt factor and ability to go forward. He is a good height and I have seen him pull in some decent marks. He has done well this year at Neafl level. I will say this is Queensland's best draft class...

I have no picks left!

I would have bid on Perryman, been tempted by Shai Bolton as a bolter but it would have probably been between Simpkin and Venables with the edge to Simpkin. Still it is hard to overlook a player like Tim English, I would not be surprised if he became the best ruck in the competition.

Pick 24 - Gold Coast - Brad Scheer In the real draft Gold Coast are almost certainties to pick up Brad Scheer imo and he will be scheerily on their list next year. They will go into deficit next year if he is bid on the second round. If he receives a first round pick then there is a chance Gold...

Sorry for the delay but I thought I made it clear that I would match wherever he was bid on as I have him in my top 15!

SPS is a good inside player and very well balanced, in fact I prefer him more as an inside mid rather than an outside mid. Brodie on the other hands is primarily inside. It is rare to get a player like SPS imo who is great in the contest but has such silky skills.

Why would I do that, Scheer will be matched most likely with 53 and 72. Also English is a ruckman/winger/CHB, most definitely not a forward at this stage. Why not take a ruckman and try and fix an area of weakness for Gold Coast.

Pick 11 - Gold Coast - Tim English There is no real standout for this pick left and the next 10 players are quite even and not a lot separate them. I was actually hoping to get Berry at this pick but Chris25 beat me to it (good selection btw). You look at the players left and Tim English imo...

Pick 8 - Gold Coast - Jack Bowes This is actually where I expect him to get a bid, but it would not surprise if it was higher as Gold Coast will take him. He is the best QLD academy player to come through the system and the best QLD player to come through since Nick Riewoldt went number 1 imo...

Pick 6 - Gold Coast - William Brodie Write up to follow, but with his size and being arguably he best clearance player in the draft he suits Gold Coast well. Also suits SPS and would work well with him. Gold Coast seemed to go backwards a little in the clearances this year and I felt that...

Pick 4 - Gold Coast - Sam Petrevski-Seton There were a few players that I was tossing up between here, but I decided to go with the player that I believe has the highest upside left. SPS is at his best as a midfielder and that will be where he will play imo. The standout qualities that he has...

Gold Coast select Josh Daicos

I can't lie I am pretty happy with how the draft has gone so far for the Gold Coast. If you even consider that Jack Bowes slid to pick 8, in reality this would have been a dream scenario for Gold Coast as he would have been selected for a couple of second round picks and Scheer would be the...

I have both Watson and Himmelburg roughly equal and it was a hard choice separating them. I just felt that Himmelburg was slightly taller and a better kick of the ball. They both are in my top 40 players though.

Pick 58 - Gold Coast - Elliot Himmelberg Gold Coast select a project player here who has a lot of potential and a fair bit of upside who can be developed over time. I look at Himmelberg and think that he has a lot of the same skills that his brother had last year, they are similar athletes...

Write up for Pick 27 - Sam Powell-Pepper

Write up for Alex Witherden.

I feel that Gold Coast could really use his skill off half-back and without the injury he would probably have gone higher based off his underage form.

Gold Coast select Alex Witherden with Pick 40 Pick 40 - Gold Coast - Alex Witherden At this stage there is still some good prospects on the board and a number I believe could be good players at AFL level. What this tells me is that there is reasonable depth in the draft and this could be seen...

Excellent selection DraftMe I was going to select Allison. Gold Coast select Sam Powell-Pepper Write up to follow, but he is a player with too much potential to overlook here. Pick 27 - Gold Coast - Sam Powell-Pepper After already having 5 picks inside the top 25, Gold Coast have already...

I considered Battle, but I like the look of the tall forwards for the Gold Coast already with Lynch, Wright and Day being a very good trio. I just do not see Battle being better than either of them and he is not good enough at ground level to play the role of a medium marking player. i am not...

It is definitely not a strength yet and he does turn the ball over too much. He his helped by his decision making and I think he knows his limitations. I believe that it is an area that he will improve at and he looks to me like he might become one of those efficient users of the ball who hits...

Pick 24 - Gold Coast - Jarrod Berry There were a few options that i had for this pick which I might go through after my next pick. Jarrod Berry presents good value here as that tallish half-back flanker who can be third man up at contests and use the ball effectively coming out of defence. I am...

Pick 22 - Gold Coast - Jy Simpkin Gold Coast have the luxury of having 4 second round picks this year, whilst in the real thing they would be used for academy kids and points here I just get to select best available and who I think would help the Gold Coast the most. Gold Coast selected Callum...

Pick 21 - Gold Coast - Brad Scheer I really wanted to let Brad Scheer keep falling and see where he would be selected as he is a member of the Gold Coast Academy but he is almost the perfect selection for Gold Coast at this point. Gold Coast have been very poor this year in winning contested...

There are no bids for academy players, it is an open draft so if Fremantle or any other team for that matter wanted Bowes they could select him. If it were a bidding system and say he was bid on at pick 9, Gold Coast would give up pick 21 and there next pick would be pushed bakc by about 10...

Pick 8 - Gold Coast - Jack Bowes This would be the dream scenario for Gold Coast if Jack Bowes was still available here as they could then use 2 first round picks on other prospects and pick up Jack Bowes for some second round picks. I rate him as the third best player in the draft behind...

Pick 4 - Gold Coast - Hugh McCluggage Gold Coast select the player that I rate number 2 in this years draft although I will acknowledge that the top 8 almost are very close. Not much splits a player like McCluggage and say for example McGrath. I have tried to rack my brain to find a player who...

Like the pick Quigley. SPS is the best prospect in the draft. I was hoping he would last to pick 4. He has a bit of Daniel Kerr in the way he moves through contests.
