I’ve got Draper and Smith more in the sure things category
For highest ceilings as mids I think Lalor , Langford , Travaglia ( I think he can transition into a mid ) and Bo Allen as danger in Texas said

I guess we're using different criteria then. I see "high ceiling" as the mids that have the potential to be the most damaging if they find enough of the footy in there. Thinking JHF, the guys that can burst clear and deliver a killer ball inside 50. You've picked guys that are part time mids right now, who might not be midfielders at AFL level or at least have a lot of development needed.
Langford has probably played the most in there (Lalor last year). But Langford is quite slow, and doesn't win a lot of clearances yet. He's more of a first receiver who can impact with his raking left boot, but when he wins it himself can struggle to find enough space inside to use it. His best asset is his elite footy IQ which allows him to anticipate the play and be moving into space to receive the footy after a turnover or other transition moment. He's not a super impactful stoppage player yet.
Travaglia is a possible. I've only seen him play inside mid a couple of times so I have not much to go on to judge what he would even look like as a mid.
Bo Allan is an agent of chaos inside. He barges straight forward leaving destruction in his wake and only occasionally take the ball with him. I can see him with high upside for sure given his size and power, if he develops some of the subtleties of the craft.
Need to watch more of the WA lads, Urqhart/Davis/Gerryn all sound very draftable (in addition to Allan obviously)

Hugh Boxshall wasn't too shabby either, and Malakai Champion is monty to get drafted by one of the WA clubs
Champion’s WCE academy right? With the new rules he’ll get there (same with Barrett/Kako and Port/Ess)
Reason I’ve got Langford with high ceiling is he’s shown an ability to take big contested marks and can kick it 55m + . He’s got a balanced inside / outside game , you’re definitely underrating his clearance game at champs as he posted big numbers there , an average of 6 per game ain’t too shabby . Maybe not so much at Coates level
Just size too at 190cm +, the ceiling is definitely high if he can develop his game

yep, Fred Rodriguez another I think gets drafted.
Scratch Rodriguez I just trealised he's 2025 so he'll be a leading WA contender next year.

If a F/S makes it to the rookie draft can they still be signed as a cat B?

While it’s not a great sign he’s as good as hoped earlier. If he does come on it could be a great bonus for us in this draft if he slips lower allowing us to maximize our picksEveryone has their favourites

How many of his Sandringham Dragons has he got in his top 40? Does love him a Sandy Dragon and doesn't mind a Oakleigh Charger or 3?Everyone has their favourites

Wonder if we're thinking about Dodson with a 2nd round pick.
We obviously need a developing ruck on the list, or will we cherry pick someone from the state leagues?

I'd be surprised if he's not right up near the top of Hamish's board given our reported strong interest in Taylor Goad last year and Alex is far better credentialed than Goad ever was.
Problem is he's the top credentialed ruck in this draft (if he chooses AFL) and the other leading ruck prospect Logan Smith is tied to the GWS so it's quite feasible Alex is long gone before our 2nd pick.
