My reasoning is he lacks acceleration, run and carry and penetration in his kicking. reminds me of Nick Reis. He’s a pass for me at 7.

We need players with exquisite skills and kicks as midfielders. Amon and Ward is not enough.

Don't agree on the comparison, but agree with the reasoning.

No matter how hard you try, you can't coach that manic desire to get to the footy first at all costs - gut running, contested ball possession, hatred of loosing etc, Clark has displayed all of these attributes in the past two years. Mckenzie looks silky smooth, good size etc but will he put it all on the line each game as we know Clark will? Again i'd choose Clark between the two

On a separate note, disappointed in the apparant poor kicking skills of Humphries. If he was a reasonably good kick, I would have been comfortable taking him over Clark

If we could get the suns first pick, we would be a chance to have both McKenzie and Clarke. 🤫

He's not a bad field kick for a contested mid tbf

True, I’m only going off 2 games (streamed on line) and a highlights reel. Very underwhelming and no signs whatsoever of any of the above. Maybe he’s shown it elsewhere. Haven’t seen him kick a goal either in any of the vision and we need goal kicking mids.
 
If we get a pick 7 from the Bowes trade we could package it with 6 to get pick 2 and pick 20 and maybe a future third from west coast. I really like the look of tsatas and he would suit our list

Makes a lot of sense. Wish we could save him as a selection in the SSP or MSD just to "get another one". I think there will be a few clubs eyeing him off.

Watching the VIC Country v Metro game last week if someone had told me that Harley Reid was the likely number 1 pick in this year's draft, I wouldn't have blinked. Looks like the type of player who's firmly in your best 22 by round 1 and never plays a day in the VFL.

Thats a strong top 10. Not sure Curtain is #10. Probably moved into #2 spot for me at this point. Some others i could put in the top 10.

I wouldn't want to tank for pick 1, but I sure would like to see us bet on another club to get the spoon by trading for their future first in the hope we can land him.
 
Short writeup on Harley and other ones the list.


1. Harley Reid (Vic Country)​

What can’t he do? The 185cm boy from Tongala has played through the midfield, in defence and in the forward line this year and has impacted in every position. He looks up to AFL midfielder-forwards Paddy Dangerfield, Nat Fyfe and Christian Petracca and is a similarly good overhead mark as well as possessing explosive speed and silky skills. Recruiters say he would be ready to be drafted this year if he were eligible.

2. Ashton Moir (South Australia)​

A 186cm half-forward, Moir excites both in the air and at ground level. The Glenelg product is described by recruiters as “a star” who is in the mix to be the No. 1 draft pick next year. Moir kicked 30 goals from 10 SANFL under-18 games this year and starred with shot up draft boards when he booted four goals for South Australia as a bottom-age player in the under-18 national championships against Western Australia in July.

3. Nick Watson (Vic Metro)​

The Eastern Ranges product is being nicknamed ‘Wizard Watson’, given his incredible abilities around goal. The small forward averaged 2.6 goals from 11.9 disposals across seven NAB League games this season, while also playing three under-18 games for Vic Metro as a bottom-age player and kicking five goals. He only stands 169cm but Watson is quick, agile and can take a mark.

4. Colby McKercher (Allies)​

A midfielder from Tasmania with a nice left-foot kick, recruiters describe McKercher as a quicker version of Essendon’s Zach Merrett. While some of his games later in the year were not as good as what he produced earlier in the season, McKercher is still viewed as a top prospect for next year and was among the best players for Team Houli in the Under 17 Futures game on AFL Grand Final Day with 20 disposals and four clearances.

5. Jed Walter (Allies)​

A 195cm key forward, Walter has shown plenty in his bottom-age year. A member of the Gold Coast Suns Academy, he is an athletic big man who works hard and has a physical presence in the air. Walter managed just eight disposals and four marks in the Under 17 Futures game, but had averaged 9.3 disposals and 2.3 goals across four under 18 national championships games for the Allies.

6. Zane Duursma (Vic Country)​

The brother of Port Adelaide’s Xavier Duursma is a very exciting mobile forward or midfielder who is a good size at 188cm. The Gippsland Power product averaged 15.5 disposals and 2.2 goals across 14 NAB League matches as a bottom-age player this year, while also playing two game of the under 18 national championships for Vic Country. He has “pure ability” and his highlights reel is already quite special.

7. Archer Reid (Vic Country)​

A versatile tall with a great overhead mark, Reid shapes as one of the top key position players in next year’s draft. Standing 201cm, he is the brother of Essendon defender Zach Reid but is much better suited as a forward at the other end. He reads the play well and is good for a big man below his knees.

8. Nate Caddy (Vic Metro)​

The nephew of two-time Richmond premiership player Josh Caddy, the 190cm forward looks a handy player of the future. He has strong hands overhead, is athletic and presents well. He averaged 14.5 disposals, 4.5 marks and 1.4 goals across 13 NAB League games for the Northern Knights this year. Good running ability and footy smarts have also seen Caddy used as a tall midfielder at stages this year.

9. Mitchell Edwards (Western Australia)​

A 205cm giant, the Peel Thunder product is part of Fremantle’s Next Generation Academy and shapes as one of Western Australia’s top draft prospects for next year. The athletic ruckman featured in all four games of the under 18 national championships for his state this year, averaging 11 disposals, 1.8 marks and 18.5 hit-outs. He also impressed throughout the year in the WAFL Colts.

10. Daniel Curtin (Western Australia)​

A 195cm key position player, Curtin won the medal as the best player on the ground in the Under 17 Futures game on AFL Grand Final day. He played across halfback in that match and showed off his agility and sound decision making, but recruiters have also liked what he has shown as a forward this year with Claremont in the WAFL Colts.
