He or Polkinghorn would play the role that JDG initially had

If they're significantly better than any KPP, and available, then take one
KPP after that
I'd say there would be multiple KPP rated higher that is a chance to be available ((Nicholls, West, Stumpf) than Polkinghorne, who is more viewed very late /rookie.
 
Rubbish, every club had the opportunity to bid on him far earlier, of course he should be considered a late pick, just as Josh should be for us.
With late picks, clubs often don't bother bidding because it doesn't really make the team "pay up" - They're going to be able to match any bid easily with irrelevant picks anyway, so they sometimes slide later than they really would if they weren't a F/S or Academy pick,

It's too complicated a situation and not a real test of his draft stock, so to use him as an example of the type of player one could expect to get in the 50s is a little misleading.

Dear was very much a late pick or rookie option regardless of the father son classification

Once again this is absolute nonsense. It’s not about making other teams pay up, if a club makes a bid it’s because they rate the player. There have been plenty of other players who have had later picks bid on them, Callum Brown and Will Kelly for us are both notable post-30 picks that had bids made on them despite the fact we could use nothing picks by that point to get them. Carlton are unlikely to get away without at least one of the Camporeale twins being bid on this year, and probably will receive bids for both despite being rated as later picks.

All that aside, pretty much all the phantoms and power rankings had Dear as a late pick anyway, it’s not like he was rated anywhere higher than he actually went. Acting like he was rated higher than he actually went is fairy tale stuff when all the evidence points to the opposite.
