Can see Moraes sliding even further come draft night. I’d happily take a punt on him around the 25-30 range.Not big on Moreas as a 1st rounder myself. Has good nous for goal, high work rate, good accumulator and has a very good footy brain. What worries me for an outside player is he's not a good kick or really quick. I'd prefer him to have at least one of those attributes if we're spending a 1st rounder on him, not even sure I'd spend our 2nd rounder on him.
I'd much rather Harrison Oliver myself, I wouldn't be against taking him at 18. We are going to lose a bit of that toughness, and attack on the ball with Duryea and Jones nearing retirement and Oliver has plenty of that plus he's a very nice kick.
This draft crop isn’t brimming with medium sized defenders but Oliver and Lachie Jacques have impressed me as potential Duryea successors.
Hotton looks quick and classy, I would pick him up in spite of his knee injury.
