Sid Draper goes alright, I think he would be next in line, you could also be interested in Jagga Smith an accumulator midfielder with evasion?
yeah we do like SA guys so he could be, i reckon we need another mid to go with Ginbey, Reid and Hewitt who are all 6'2, so a smaller mid would work but i doubt this club would do it lol

191cm, 187cm, 186cm. Bit of a wide interpretation of 6'2" there. But they're all a good size for modern day midfielders.

I think Sid Draper might be perfect fit for WCE if they are looking for a midfielder.
 
VC looked very strong and without 3 of their best players, O'Sullivan, Lalor and Faull, it might be their year beating a strong SA side 1st up, with WA and the Allies unlikely to win the champs from here, it's up to who is the strongest team between VM, SA and VC and early on VC looks to be the form team, I'm curious to see if VM or SA can find a way to win it from here?

They also have Lockwood to play on talls and free up Duursma who looked to struggle as a kpd on Nicholls imo
 
Watching on TV today, with eyes blinkered on SA, I can see why Sharp, Draper, Welsh and Camporeale x 2 are highly rated.

I was impressed by:

Alex Dodson - dominant in Ruck and as game went on, had influence in general play

Phoenix Hargrave - looks a good user of the ball on either foot, looks a class above

Jacob Newton - small fwd/mid with a nice left foot kick and similar to Hargrave, looks AFL class. They mentioned he was pro-surfer potential from Elliston, so he’d have balls of steel with the sharks he’d be sharing the water with over there.

Murphy Reid is a top 10 Monty for mine.
At least first round.
Oliver is another likely first rounder.
Love your work and your opinions though.

Not my opinion, but an ex scout has Lalor as his bolter for top 10/top 5 by the end on the season.

I've said elsewhere, that Moraes would be in my top 7 mids.
 
Davo what do you think of SA's Charlie Nicholls 197cm forward from Central Districts

Spoke to a few recruiters an they all thought he will end up a top 25 pick because of his marking power
saying he has the best hands seen in a long time

Rest of his game still needs work but his marking is elite
