Yeah mate...Still got my first pick, just surprised I don't have any left after that.
2 of the 3 guys I landed, I'm pretty stoked I got with my bid.
Freo look like they'll be taking 4 in the main draft.

Sounds good. I rate Coughlan.
Can we just start at Melbourne? The first two basically pick themselves and I'm eager to get started. It's been a pretty anticlimactic beginning

Carlton take with pick 1 ; A Key Defender 195 cm 93 kg he has been hard to displace from this position all year. His start to the season against VFL opponents rocketed him to the top of the pool and he has remained there since, showing a cool head dealing with the tag as the likely No.1 draft pick.
Across the year he continued to float across packs in defence, take big grabs and then set up the play with his damaging right-foot kicking. At the combine, he ran a 15.1 beep test – which puts him in elite territory as a top-end tall prospect.
1. Jacob Weitering (VIC – KPD)
Height: 195cm, Weight: 90kg, DOB: 23/11/1997
Recruited from: Dandenong Stingrays
Reminds me of: Ben Reid (2010/2011 key defence version)
Best position/role: Rebounding Centre Half Back.
Strengths:
Ability to read the flight – Weitering reads the flight as well as any key defender in the u18s. He reads the flight early which allows him to at times leave his direct opponent for intercept marks and in 1v1 contests to get to the drop of the ball to be in best position to either take the 1v1 mark or get the spoil.
Intercept marking ability – Weitering is an excellent intercept mark and it comes from his ability to read the flight as well as his strong hands overhead. He takes numerous intercept marks each game be it from leaving his direct opponent for the mark or in 1v1 contests.
1v1 marking ability – In 1v1 contests Weitering generally reads the flight earlier than his direct opponent and outpoints his direct opponent through superior ability to read the flight, superior body positioning in the contest and superior body on body strength.
1v1 ability – Weitering in 1v1 contests has a good feel for when he can take the intercept mark and when he needs to get the spoil in and generally makes the right decisions as to what he needs to do in the given situation.
Footskills – Weitering is an excellent kick for a key position player. He has a penetrating 60m kick on him and has the ability to consistently hit targets up the field over long or short distances. He demonstrates excellent vision finding good targets up the field and then will go on an execute the kick to a target kicking it out in front for his team mates to lead onto. His kicking efficiency also is excellent suggesting that he has the reliability to go with the hurt-factor.
Versatility – Weitering while he is a natural centre half back can also play very good football off a back flank and even up on a wing with a skillset and running ability that has enabled him to have success in these roles in seasons past before settling into a key defence post. Weitering has also demonstrated when required that he can play as a key forward showing clean hands overhead, ability on the lead and cleanness at ground level and strong ability to pressure and tackle.
Proven performances v men – Weitering has had succeeded against AFL talent in Majak Daw and Matthew Watson who are both big boys, showing that he can hold his own physically, so given that you can pick Weitering with confidence knowing that he can handle the bigger bodies and already hold his own. As such he may be able to come into a team possibly as early as year one, and if not then most likely year two and start to have an impact then.
Ability to compete against the big key forwards – Weitering given his success v Majak Daw and Matthew Watson has shown that clearly he has the ability to compete against big, strong, physical marking forwards, as a key defender who can hold his position in the contest and hold his own without being intimidated by his opponent’s size and strength.
Late bloomer – Having grown from 177cm at u15 level, Weitering has shot up significantly in years since to grow into a genuine key position size player. Historically player who shoot up relatively later like this have substantially greater scope to improve with Patrick Cripps and Marcus Bontempelli two recent examples of this, and understanding this, I’m anticipating substantial improvement to still come from Weitering.
Shutdown ability – Weitering is a very good stopper. He has the strength to play against men now 1v1. He is capable at ground level and has the endurance to run with guys around the ground. He can take his 1v1 marks but at the appropriate times will look to get the spoil in, knowing his limitations.
Balance between offense and defence – Weitering is someone who can do it on both sides of the ball. He can beat his direct opponent 1v1 and go with them around the ground, but then also has the ability to peel off his opponent at the right times, take the intercept mark and provide some meaningful rebound by foot.
Athleticism – Weitering is an excellent athlete for a key position player. He has excellent endurance for a key position player. His leaping ability is excellent. His agility and repeat speed both very good for a tall.
Questionmarks:
Loose checking defensively – Weitering down back certainly at least for Dandenong in their zone will often lose track of his opponent and respond too slowly to their leads. At AFL level he will be required to play a more accountable game which is an adjustment he can make given his ability.
Summary: Weitering projects to become a 250 game key defender and multiple times All Australian Centre Half Back. He has the ability to develop into the best key defender in the competition if things go right with the completeness, dominance and rapid development he is demonstrating. Weitering from season one can step into a back half and contribute and will only continue his rapid footballing growth with further games.
thanks to Knightmare`s awesome summary.

Agreed. Unlikely he features in the national draft. Will probably be taken late in the rookie draft if at all, but I think it's worth giving him a shot if not for the romanticism of the last name

I've already done the write up and everything for my pick, I'll be fuming if Jimmy takes him.
So Essendon take:
Pick 5: Aaron Francis
Pick 6: Sam Weideman
I won't be doing write ups. As head recruiter at Essendon I have nothing to prove to you.

With pick 7, Gold Coast select Clayton Oliver.
I see a lot of Fyfe-like potential in this kid. He’s a bullocking, rampaging type midfielder who is good in the air and can kick goals. While he missed out on the Champs he had an amazing end to the year, winning the Morrish Medal playing for the Murray Bushrangers, and that has rightly put him into top 10 calculations. I have a sneaky suspicion that this is the actual pick that he will be taken with on Draft night. Gold Coast have enough flash, and while they have recruited some (bog average) inside mids like Hallahan, they really do need some top end courageous, tough ball winners in the middle. He has a fair bit of development to go – I think he could still lose some puppy fat in spite of testing well at the combine – but he could easily develop into one of the best players from this draft IMO.
You’re up again FiveStrings

Really solid picks so far. Hard to imagine a scenario where Curnow doesnt get taken within the next few picks but we'll see what happens

Really wish we could've picked him up but he's looking a very good chance of going top ten now
So much potential and so well rounded for an inside mid. Very rare you get such a tough and bullocking clearance winner who's athletic, good user of the footy, strong overhead and versatile. He really is the whole package could be something special

Correct.
With pick 7 or whatever it is now (9?), Melbourne take Charlie Curnow.

Pick 4 (formerly 3) - Melbourne - Darcy Parish (Geelong Falcons, midfielder, 180cm/74kg)
Very highly rated midfielder from the Geelong Falcons footy factory (thanks BT) who can play inside and outside but will probably be used outside and off a flank early in his career just because he's so lightly-framed. Very classy user of the ball and one of those guys like Pendlebury who just seems to have that extra second to size up his options.
I bid on Mills here and would have been happy to take him if Sydney hadn't matched, think he's the best mid in the draft. No offence Darcy.
Pick 9 (formerly 7) - Melbourne - Charlie Curnow (Geelong Falcons, forward, 191cm/95kg)
Doing the Geelong Falcons double act, Curnow is a 191cm forward in the mould of Jake Stringer or maybe Jack Darling with a bigger tank. A powerful athlete and a good mark, who will start off in the forward line but may transition into the midfield.
I chopped and changed with pick 3 - thorne can confirm I PM'd him yesterday saying that if the draft started and it got to my pick I'd take Weideman. Basically the idea was to get a top-class midfielder and a key forward with the two picks, and I thought Weideman would be the ideal forward line partner for Hogan and might not be available at 7, which in the end he wasn't. That being the case I was tossing up between Curnow and Harry McKay but I think this high in the draft you have to lean towards best available and I think I've definitely done that with both Parish and Curnow. Had I gone Weideman at pick 3 I'd have been choosing between Oliver, Milera and Balic at 7 but I'm very happy with the Parish/Curnow combination.
