Sorry didn't see your post in time. Happy to say 'matched' to the Fletcher pick as well if you need.

I LOVE the fact you chose the player you like and didn't just go with consensus or GWS's worst-kept-secret plans.
I am also a big believer in the theory that top end talls are boom/bust but top end mids have a much lower failure rate.
Thank
Thanks mate, time will tell.

Clark probably won't end up the best player in the draft but unlikely you miss with him with his character and competitiveness

Apologies, didn't realize we were going early.
Really tough call, but ignoring all other factors

Pick 11 (10?) Carlton - Jedd Busslinger
Height: 197cm
Weight: 85kg
D.O.B: 11-03-2004
Jedd imo is the best defender in the draft. With an excellent kick, strong mark and expert ability to read the play he has become the premier key defender in this years draft. Having rated in every version of this years U18 All Australian team, Jedd can do it all.
While not exactly round 1 ready, needing to put on a few kgs of muscle. He could easily fill in as a third tall defender if our historically injury prone current first choices (MM/Marchbank) miss extended portions of the season.
In the long term I see him as a best 22 KPD alongside Weiters in the backline. With the only other true KPD on the list being Young and Durdin, he also fills a need.
I was tossing up between Busslinger, Ginbey and Hollands. With Hollands being the safe pick. Ultimately I went with my gut.
I suspect we will also be the first club in the AFL to have ever had a Jed and a Jedd on the list.
bradfisher14 is up next with the WB.

Pick 12, Western Bulldogs: Lewis Hayes, Eastern Ranges
Key Defender
199cm/82kg
17/12/04
Sorely need a key back of the future to balance out a list full of key forwards and midfielders. Strong consideration was given to Reuben Gibney and Ollie Hollands, but I feel those needs can be addressed later in this draft or from within the current playing stocks. Good key backs are like hens teeth and I think Hayes could hold down that post for 10+ years alongside Sam Darcy. Keath and Jones aren't getting any younger either.
Arr0w you're up!

Pick 14 Melbourne: Ollie Hollands
I know everyone is placing Matt Jefferson here, and the Demons could do with some more firepower up forward, but they do have Van Rooyen coming through who Demons fans have been screaming to get played while the heirarchy have been content to develop. All reports are he looks the goods.
And besides that, i'm just not that high on Jefferson. Gives me more a Michael "Juice" Newton feel than a David Neitz feel.
So it was a toss up for me between Jacob Konstanty or Ollie Hollands. I really like Konstanty. Every modern team wants a Konstanty or 2.
But like with Carlton, i really think Hollands suits Melbourne. With numerous strong bodies around, it allows Hollands to go berserk more on his running game like a Max Holmes for example. Hollands is not shy to compete, and does so with relish from what i've seen, but his ace is his running power. He'll suit Melbourne's hard running up and back game.
And i have little faith in Lachie Hunter, so i reckon Ollie could have a spot on that wing sooner rather than later. A quality prospect for the running AFL game.
TENACIOUS up next

Pick 15 Sydney – Matt Jefferson
195cm/84kg
8/3/04
KPF
Have been weighing up which way to go and Jefferson IMO just makes sense… With Buddy and Reid, on their last leg and playing probably their last year… Jefferson has the ability to team with Logan McDonald for the next 10+ years…
A lead up marking forward, who is an excellent shot for goal… Is rated as the second best KPF in the draft, but some believe on talent and a decent run at it, he could end up being the best KPF of this draft... Had an interrupted season with a leg fracture against Bendigo, where he kicked 3 goals with a fractured leg…
May sneak a couple of games, as a third tall forward in 2023 base on talent alone… However, will need to put on some size and strength to compete as a KPF at AFL level.
Others considered – Will let you know in a couple of picks

Brisbane Match
Pick 18 Brisbane - Jasper Fletcher
183cm/76kg
24/2/04
Outside Midfielder/ Wing
The Brisbane father-son prospect will add another dimension to the younger midfielders at the club with his ability to glide from end to end and use the ball in a classy way. Fletcher is the son of four-club player Adrian, but is only eligible to join the Lions, where he has been a member of their Academy over the years. Has precise foot skills and is trusted with the ball in his hands. Could slot onto the wing early in the AFL career.
Thanks Cal Twomey

Pick 19 Sydney - Brayden George
186cm/87kg
13/4/04
Forward/ Mid
This kid has just to much talent and X-Factor to leave on the table, if he didn't do his knee this year would have had him going top 10...
Sydney has good depth and can afford to let Brayden, take as much time as needed...
Isaac Heeney was in consideration when making this decision, he is IMO a far better midfielder than what's left in the draft...
Heeney will get unleashed into the midfield where he belongs, rotating with George...
Others - Hotton, Konstanty & Davey Jnr (If George and Hotton were gone would have bid)

Love your reach for Ed Allan here. Would love to see him end up at Carlton. One of my favourites in the whole draft.

I’ve done it again, but for it to be effective you’ll need to stop deleting posts throughout the thread.
Every time you delete a post it mucks up the post number and in turn the sticky.

739 points from my calculator, but yup, all carries over to next year's 1st for Brisbane.
Matching the bid will turn pick 24 into pick 20 & 67.
