Moves like an AFL player, would like a bit more intensity
Well considering the 
going on over in the trade thread may aswell shut this one down cause we’re going to have 3/5ths of **** all draft picks to play with once this trade periods over!!

Quick over the first few steps, good left foot and quick decisions/ vision. Lots to like.
Seemed a little Andrew McGrath like to me

Im pretty sure at the time he was drafted Nat Fyfe was described as a reach by the draft 'experts'.
Interestingly, so often a reaching ends up the best way.
If you like a player, just get them.

If anything, this seems like a good draft to find some late gems.Well considering the

Well as an essendon supporter I know that McGrath's major weakness is his awful decision making, blazing kicks to nothing or blind dumping snap kicks forward. That's not going to be an issue for Fred, he's poised with the ball and decision making looks elite from what we've seen.

I'm still not finding myself overly enthused about this draft. The lack of a clear #1 certainly makes it interesting, but I think this draft is more about there being a big group of good players rather than a small group of great players at the top. I think Richmond will sell their draft group as a bunch of guys who all could have gone at #1, realistically though I think they'll be taking a bunch of guys who'd go around 8-10 in other drafts.
Pretty much every KPP has questions over them too, almost all of them will be drafted on size/potential rather than performances. A couple will get drafted in the first round (probably Armstrong and Tauru), but mid second round seems to be the sweet spot for them - and I don't think we can rule out us taking a shot at a KPF if we pick around there.
But this is my top 30 and I've bolded the guys I think we should be interested in...

Is Taj Hotton worth a gamble with a second round pick?

Cody shapes as the number 1 key defender prospect in the pool entering 2025, although he's also played forward to great effect at Colts level this season. He's much stronger overhead than his brother Dan and looks a more intense competitor, similarly solid disposal skills but perhaps little less clean with the ground ball.
Don’t rate Hannaford?

I feel like a team takes the chance around 15 to 20. If he plays this year, he probably goes top 10. But I'm not sure he quite fits us as well as others.
Off the top of my head, I think I have him at #32. He's certainly the flavour of the month though.

32 would mean he would be in the range of our second rounder after academ and father son bidding. If we rate hm then I think we'd have the Saints 4th rounder on offer with our second while he's still on the board to move up the draft. Obviously if you get a player who fits a list need and its also the highest rated player at the time of a pick its the ideal situation.
We've also been linked to Harrison Oliver with our seond round selection. He's touted as having an elite kicking left foot who's a small defender at 181cm but terrific overhead.

His draft reports say he's elite at kicking through the corridor eg Doing the difficult kicks. Im not saying they're right but just saying that what they say.
Dont
Sure. I only watched a few highlights but they didn’t fill me with hope let’s say

Easier to take the risk if we had 3 picks.
Assuming we have one, then it is harder to take the risk.
Famously, Geelong took the risk with Selwoods shoulders and that turned out brilliantly.
Hawks took Thorp or Dowler, who was coming off a major injury and that did not work as well.
