Malakai Champion, Evan Bradley, Xavier Ivisic, Josh Murphy, and Benny Barrett left un-drafted from your ranking. Interestingly all small to medium forwards. Any clubs you think should have a closer look at one of these particular players in the rookie draft?

NGA:
WCE will likely rookie Malakai Champion
StK will likely rookie Adrian Cole
Port might rookie Benny Barrett?
Melb might rookie Ricky Mentha?

there are always a group of prospects not picked every year, you just have to acknowledge a handful either didnt interview well, had red flags or werent the type of player the clubs wanted, i could say i love how "x player" plays, but he may have a red flag clubs spotted in interviews or character references, so it means nothing, im sure 2-3 will be picked up as rookies and the rest will try again in State Leagues or not...

Mentha a certainty to Dees.

Davo-27 where did u have Riak Andrew in your rankings? From what I have seen at CTL and playing local he was less than impressive. Am I missing something?

i think they are hoping he turns out a bit like his brother.

He’s not the biggest or most skilled but he shut down Armstrong and Shanahan late in the season. He’s at the right club to be developed as a lock down key back

Thanks for another year of draft musings Davo.

It goes on.
