Yes, but I can’t put it out there because there’s lots of games being played atm.

In raw numbers, it is an interesting exercise, and every year, you could adopt different strategies, but perhaps looking at who else was available after pick 12 and 14 might show different outcomes

Below is a list from 2013 onwards of what was drafted at 3 vs 12 and 14 taking out Father son and Academy selections in the draft order.

2013 - Jack Billings - Pat Cripps and Zac Jones
Acres, Impey, Merrett, Barrass, Aliir, Laird

2014 - Andrew Brayshaw - Luke Weller and Sam Durdin
Lever, Steele, Miller, Maynard, Dale, Langdon, Sinclair

2015 - Clayton Oliver - Tom Doedee and Ryan Burton
McKay, Hardwick, Williams, Dawson, Broad, Papley

2016 - Hugh McCluggage - Jordan Gallucci and Jarrod Berry
Marshall, English, Hayward, Ridley, Drew, Darcy, Stewart, Rioli, Ryan, Larkey, Stengle

2017 - Paddy Dow - Darcy Fogarty and Matthew Ling
Bailey, Richards, Starcevich, Allen, Taylor, TDK, McCartin, Ballard, Payne, Miers, Moore, Baker

2018 - Izzac Rankine - Jordan Clark and Sam Sturt
Duursma, Hill, Rowbottom, Bedford, Wilkie

2019 - Luke Jackson - Miles Bergman and Copper Stephens
Weightman, SDK, Rivers, Warner, Close

2020 - Logan McDonald - Heath Chapman and Oliver Henry
Holmes, Bowey, McCreery, Treacy

2021 - Mac Andrew - Campbell Chesser and Darcy Wilmont
Aleer, JVR, McDonald

2022 - George Wardlaw - Elijah Hewitt and Josh Weddle
Jones, Cowan,

2023 - Zane Duursma- Kolthyn Thorlsup and James Leaske
Wilson, Moir, Morris, Freijah, Humphries

Which selection group do you prefer ?
Looks different?

How about draft night, I will send you a message or something and state who I would have picked.... Lock it away and see what was a better option in this hypothetical world.
Always enjoy your content/chat LM, but, might start a thread after the draft so anyone can post their views of players taken 12, 14 and beyond

Rookie Me have released their final top 50 power rankings before the draft.


Nice to see Ben ranked at 47 and a bevy of talls likely to be available around our second pick in O’Farrell, Gerreyn, Nicholls and Barrat.

Looks like we’ll get what we aimed for at the start of the trade period.

Our 2nd will be pick 34 as well, which should be in the sweet spot, so I expect it to go nowhere.

Don't have Reid, Allan, Hotton that high
 
Smith or Draper. Please. Pretty please.

The more I see and read about Smith, the more I want him. Very different beast to Cripps, but given his role, he could be the ideal replacement in a few years time.

And I just want to put it on record that I can't for the life of me see what the hype is about Finn O'Sullivan. I hope to God we don't call his name out.
