So (excluding the pick swaps that got us these picks to begin with), I believe our overall 2017 draft looks something like this:
IN: Brander, Allen, Kelly, Ryan, Ainsworth, Petch, Brayshaw, 2019 pick 52, 2020 third round pick (tied to Geelong)
OUT: 2017 picks 13, 21, 26, 32, 38, 68, 2019 picks 14, 24, 33, 2020 first round pick
To be honest I think there's more pressure on Brander than Kelly. Really hope he makes it. The club obviously rated it Brander > Allen > Kelly, but I haven't seen anything to justify that rating of Brander. Having said that I haven't seen much of Brander at WAFL level or obviously AFL. And I do back the club's strategy of drafting KPP and trading in mids given our talent at identifying and developing KPP talent vs our track record with mids.
