Interesting hear them say on Midweek Tackle that apparently this years crop is the most even in a long time (feel these sorts of comments are rolled out every year) and a team that has the fifth or sixth pick may have have who they draft as the number one such is the fact there is t a clear pick one two or three.![]()

Interesting Gillet in there from Lions, but not Gilder.
Gilder played 4 x Allies games and was very good in 3 of them.
Gillet played 1 and wasn't great, but had a good VFL game on the weekend.
no McFayden or Gallop either, not even for their local combines.
From what I have read both players have AFL qualities but Gillett has the greatest upside. Gilder projects as a backman who can play as a Lockdown backman against the 3rd tall forward. While Gillett has excellent athletic qualities who may eventually play as a ruck/ forward but who knows could play as a full back as well. He won’t be the first key position forward who ends up playing in the backline. I believe we already have a few of those.Having seen plenty of these invite lists over the years, I'll highlight the key part on their rookie profiles as to why one got an invite and the other didn't:
Ryan Gilder. height: 191cm
Tom Gillett. height: 201cm
AFL clubs are a lot more interested in finding out more about a marginal Qld player if they've got an unteachable attribute like that height.
Excellent, we need someone to play that role with Charlie moving into the ruck.Gillet played VFL on the weekend. Interestingly he was competitive in the ruck, but only took 1 grab and kicked 3 goals, all of them crumbing goals like he is a 201cm Charlie Cameron!
Would look nicer in some different colours though
I reckon Gillett is projecting as a 3rd rounder as wellThe Age on this year's draft. Lascroft at 2, Marshall at 28! No other Lions academy players mentioned

Courageous, clean and consistent: How Smith jagged No.1 ranking for this year’s AFL draft
He might not be the standout No.1 pick like Harley Reid 12 months ago, but this midfield rubberman from the Oakleigh Chargers has emerged as the probable top selection at year’s AFL national draft.www.theage.com.au
There are two consensus views on this year’s AFL draft class.
The first is it’s an exciting and very deep crop, and the second is there is no surefire No.1 selection, 12 months after Harley Reid was the clear standout prospect at the top of the draft.
Here are our top 30 prospects based on discussions with recruiters from 10 clubs, and factors including this year’s AFL under-18 championships, performance across all levels, potential, attributes, and injuries that may have impacted them.
2. Levi Ashcroft
Sandringham Dragons/Vic Metro
Midfielder, 179cm, 18/12/2006
28. Sam Marshall
Sandringham Dragons/Allies
Midfielder, 185cm, 19/1/2006
I've been disappointed ever since he didn't get his ruck spot back against GC.Excellent, we need someone to play that role with Charlie moving into the ruck.
Points and rules are not changing this year so we'll get everyone we want to. Success !I reckon Gillett is projecting as a 3rd rounder as well

Reckon draft haul of Ashcroft II, Marshall and one of Gillett / Gallop / Glider would satisfy most on here including myself.Gillett.
The best your club can get.
Gillett.
The best your club can get.
Entirely deserved IMO, fancy coming in here with slick one-liners like that before anyone here has thought of them. Banning's too good for 'emEnjoy your perm ban you sick fk

McLachlan is listed on our website as only 181cm tall, though draft sites have him at 185cm. Either way, that's not really CHF/FF height these days.Tbf, we have quite a few young FF/CHFs (most ain't 200cm+ besides Ryan) waiting in the wings in McLaughlin and Lloyd, as well as Morris currently playing but they all play different to how Daniher + Hipwood operate.
Do you reckon we won't match the bid? I think the club will prioritise Gillett due to his height, replacing Lane. Gilder would be replacing Lester, but Lester will be around another year, maybe the club takes the risk nobody will draft Gilder this year. Gallop could get picked by someone I guess, but this is a very good draft for KPPs so I doubt it.For lions, they could take Gillet next year as an overage draft pick, but the risk is someone else takes him (like what happened with Samson Ryan). My guess is he'll be drafted this year, but not by the Lions.
