But if Hawthorn chooses Stanley over Tucker and has a second pick, it could opt for 203cm Oakleigh Chargers big man Will Elliot – the son of former Australian Test cricketer Matthew Elliott — if Tucker is off the board. Foxfooty.com.au understands Hawthorn has interviewed Elliott several times in recent weeks and was one of the clubs in attendance to watch him play for Oakleigh on the weekend, although Elliott was hampered by illness.

None of them are overly exciting.

I rate Maric in the context of a mid season draft, and nobody else. With our two wins last two weeks unfortunately we miss on him, likely to go first pick. I'm basing my opinion on watching Box Hill games and little else. I'm hoping the club has someone that nobody else is looking at, like a Paul Puopolo pick
 
Jaiden Hunter kicked 5 on the weekend for Perth. Makes 11 goals since he started playing seniors in the Wafl 3 weeks ago.
Could be a smoky for us if

He doesn't seem to get much of the ball, unless he's shooting for goal. Does he play pretty close to goal?

He looks a likely type. I’d be happy to give him a shot if the club thinks he has some growth.
He was a key defender in his draft year, that was also playing ruck due to his leap.

After seeing some vision, I'd be pretty excited if the Hawks select Hansen Jr. Looks to have very clean hands, great vision, mobility and speed. Looks uninspiring on the stat sheet, but very high impact per possession.
Tiges want him at 4.
Freo definitely want him.

I think we should go Elliott with our first as we need tall forwards.
 
Choosing well is a massive advantage, so far jai, blanck and Ramsden are all 10 year players added to the list. (Reeves and bramble from the other one)

Feels like a free hit to a top grade player missed by clubs.

Tucker looks the best long term so it will be interesting which way north go

I really want Maric, so just hoping Weagles go Hunter.

Aaaand hope North go full, unblooded prime Norf mid-season drafting mode, so Maric slips to us at Pick 3:

We pretty much have the 2nd pick given Norf always **** it up.

Seriously their MSD choices have been laughable. Every other team seems to pick up AFL quality players (they don't have to be Newcombe level to be a decent pick) but they keep shitting the bed (who the **** is Kallan Dawson lol).

Was incredible when they passed on the 2nd round last season. Thanks for Blanck you spuds.
 
Anyway to get by the pay wall?
Heral Sun mock draft -

1 Ryan Maric - West Coast
2 James Trezise - North
3 Ethan Stanley - Hawthorn
4 Jack Buller - Richmond
5 Clay Tucker - GWS
6 Oscar McDonald - Sydney
7 Sam Naismith - Geelong
8 Robert Hansen Jr - Freo
9 Jayden Hunter - Essendon
10 Marty Hore - Dogs
11 Noah Casalini - Port
12 Brandon Ryan - Hawthorn
13 Rye Penny - Richmond
14 Pass - GWS
15 Harry Arnold - Swans
