I think GWS going for Mac is all smoke and mirrors. Ruck clearly isn't important for them as they dragged Mummy out of the grave to play for them. Would make sense to go for Callaghan.
Andrew does look like becoming a sensational ruck, but with Darcy that isn't what we are looking for. We want a utility /pinch hitter type. I would rather use a lot less draft capital on Williams. Or, from way out of left field, on Aleer. And if not then, put Benning in the bank and have a look next year at some of the talls.
If they truly believe he’s the next Naitanui then their needs etc are irrelevant. If you think he’s Nicnat you pick him. Same goes for us re already having Darcy. Of course if all the teams think he’s that good he won’t last until pick 6, but perhaps there isn’t a consensus

I think he’s being talked about as more Luke Jackson than NN. Midfielder like skills in close.
I have a terrible feeling we will pick Sinn to add yet another dashing defender as we were linked to him a while back. Hopefully having picked up JC & having Chapman coming back we might not feel the need for yet another half back.

Only would pick him if we had a use for him outside of defence. There's a reason we delisted my fave ginger mullet
It’s like when the Spurs had David Robinson and then drafted Tim Duncan.
That resulted in 5 championships.
I really like Darcy forward and Andrew from the highlights can play forward as well.

It would be a terrifying combo. I’m all for it and Rachelle if possible. But I don’t think we’d need to trade up to get both.

The family decision that changed dead-eye Jye Amiss forever
Draft prospect Jye Amiss' unique upbringing has helped him grow as a person and a footy player

With JHF being a Freo supporter and a Fyfe devotee, I wonder if we’ve had Fyfey give him a call to get in his ear about how awesome WA is and how Freo are building blah blah blah. Would love for us to get that trade request in a few years’ time.

Big Mac: Andrew bulks up ahead of AFL draft
At the start of this year, Mac Andrew weighed 70 kilos and was viewed as a project player. Since then, he has changed his diet and hit the weights, adding 10 kilos, and is likely to be snapped up within the first 10 picks after a head-turning season.

That will be pretty hard with Johnson playing for Methcoast
This makes more sense to me.
Build Benning up, and take the best tall we can get next year.
We still take one of them this year though

Although reading that I want him too
“I’ve put on about 10 kilos this year, so I’m about 80 now,” he said.
Greater Western Sydney have shown particular interest in the Dandenong product due to their need for key-position depth. The Giants currently hold pick two, but may opt to trade the selection given Andrew is likely to remain available by the mid-range of the top 10.
Andrew expects to commence his career as a forward.
“When I put on a bit more size, I could probably go into the ruck a bit more,” he explained. “But for me, probably more so as a forward-ruck, playing up forward and pinch-hitting in the ruck when they need me to.”
The smooth-moving tall prides himself on his ability to act as a fourth midfielder. Following ruck contests, he is known to crumb his own hitouts, speed away from opposition onballers and advance the ball forward with his rare big-man kicking skills.
Could be very valuable as a forward

We seriously need to make a video JHF using a "white powder" up his nose.
Andrew is an interesting one.
GWS or Suns may go early on him.
Hawks is unlikely to pick Andrew.
Richmond may go for him.
I would only trade up for Callaghan.

Interesting that he doesn't have van Rooyen on his list. Must have him pegged as a tall back.

When games are on in Victoria he goes every week, I see him at games a lot.

I’d take him even if he had no ceiling purely to please Caleb.

Probably better off with Butler
I reckon we made a mistake not drafting Brad Hill in the day, he was within our range (think we got Sheridan and Crozier). Sounds like Jai will be a late pick so won't cost much.
We would be set for the next decade.What a Ruck combo Darcy & Andrew would be
We may not be able to get Jackson back but Andrew would be amazing consolation.
