Yeah especially given we should get Western for chips who will likely play mid/forward at AFL level.
My original post should have mentioned Lobb too. That dude is a WAY better ruck than forward.
The defenders are fine, agree on the KPFs.

It seems like a good year for KPFs. Jamarra is club-linked, but Thilthorpe, Baldwin, and Callow are all great prospects.

I plan on putting out a Nab League club by club summary of all the potential draft eligible players for this year. I will try to get something out for the interstate players but it will be more difficult compared to Nab League as they have all their games from last year that I can watch for reference.

Unlike a normal draft year, there’s no local cum tertiary league bolters like Sam Sturt to assess.
Might be a very short draft this year.
Looks like 35 player lists are being discussed seriously by the AFL.
I can see most clubs only drafting 1 or 2 players this year.
This will hurt port a fair amount if it happened. They’ve stocked up heavily on young players the last few drafts. Lots of young players who could prove to be something but haven’t yet could be cast aside. For instance Riley Grundy looked miles away when we drafted him, but looked to have made strides this preseason.
Will be interesting to see what happens.
Brisbane are in the same boat. We’ve hit the draft hard 4 years in a row now. We have players from the 2017 draft who are only now getting close to the best 22 or look like key depth players.
Might see a couple of 2016 draftees who haven’t quite cracked the rotation delisted.
Looking at our list, I’d sooner delist a player like Cam Ellis-Yolmen rather than a recent draftee who was selected in the back end of the draft.

I'm unsure what these means for the Crows, who are really still in the early stages of their rebuild.
I'd actually love a shorter season, and I think one where the Crows really find out what players like Gallucci have. Forget results - if anything, write the season off for the pick - and focus on knowing what the list can deliver in three years.
Then go to the draft with four picks inside 28. Which will be tough, if we're both trying to reduce list numbers and perhaps trade some players in.

Man I'm gonna live off this thread. We're gonna know nothing about these kids.

You and Knightmare have very different opinions of Jack Ginnivan
- Thread starter

Yeah everyone has different things they value and look for in players, a lot of the small forward types usually have one key feature they have better than most and although Ginnivan has some good skills and forward craft he hasn’t looked to have an elite athletic trait (hard to figure endurance in small forward until combine). Another forward/midfielder I have higher is Bailey Laurie as he goes have that elite agility and is incredibly smooth with ball in hand and a great finisher in front of goal.
Midfield time is something Ginnivan could have got more of this year which would have been a major point of difference if he smashed it in there.

Getting a few corrections on heights and weights so ill be updating my rankings this weekend to reflect those changes, I’ll expect my rankings to change just a little as i cram a lot of replays into my not so busy schedule right now haha

A little early spoiler, the height of DGB is no longer an issue for him as a top 10 prospect.

I noticed you have Ugle-Hagan as 196cms now. Is that correct? I remember last year he was listed as 194 going into round 1.

Still 194cm, that’s one I’ll have to change back
