Pick 37 - North Melbourne - Oliver Davis

Tasmania Devils/ Clarence
Height:
182cm
Weight: 75kg
Position: Inside midfielder

A midfield bull, Oliver Davis is a clearance and tackling machine. Strong and agile in the contest, he has clean hands and goes into every contest putting his body on the line.

2019 NAB League (13 games)
22 disposals, 5.1 inside-50s, 2.4 marks, 5.5 clearances, 1.2 score assists, 4.7 score involvements, 7.8 tackles, 130 ranking points

Highlights:


Thunderstruck
Great pick
 
I agree with not matching Gulden actually. I would be very nervous matching a bid inside the first round personally. It's a harsh decision but I feel the phantom draft isn't wrong not matching (though we better get a genuine mid at 43 and not some flanker as that would deem the move useless otherwise)

Pick 38: Adelaide – Kaine Baldwin
Pick #38 Adelaide - Kaine Baldwin 193cm 90kg Glenelg

Had to take Kaine here, have gone with 4 mids, now for a GUN key forward despite 2 ACL's this kid is a dead set gun in the making if he can keep his body right from here on in.

Dominated Under 16 level where he essentially had no peer as a key forward. Without his knees he'd be talked along with the likes of Thilthorpe and McDonald as the best forwards in the draft. Strong hands, powerful vice like one grab marking and a rare talent to judge the flight of the footy and use the body. Run and jumpone grab contested marking, pack crashing strong type of forward. Perhaps wouldn't be able to do that as well against far bigger men at AFL level but still would make a fine forward, he's as natural as you get down there. In short, too good to pass at 38 almost a free swing, I really hope for footballs sake he can have a good AFL career!!

Pick 39: Essendon – Liam McMahon
Essendon Pick 39
Liam McMahon
196cm 84kg
Northern Knights/KM
Key Forward


Essendon still need some more key forwards coming through and although Nik Cox can play forward I’ll be developing him to play down back, McMahon on the other hand is a pure key forward with a great leap and posses one fo the cleanest marks overhead in this years crop.



McMahon had a good year compared to his Victorian peers as a bottom ager out performing the likes of Eyre, Allison, Lord and Kolar just to name a few. With a few strong performances hitting the scoreboard he was due to take it up another notch this year. Growing from 193cm to a now genuine key position prospect at 196cm he really should have pushed his case to be a genuine top 25 prospect this year if Covid hadn’t ruined that.



McMahon has battled consistency issues which are common in young developing talls in their bottom age year and it’s yet to be determined whether he would have addressed those issues this year, McMahon is a great athlete testing well in all areas at the combine and with his athleticism also goes with some nice forward craft and great hands and movement at ground level which comes from his past as a tall midfielder.


McMahon is my potential surprise packet from this draft, not expected to be taken high if at all this year but he is one I think will really prove his worth in the coming years. Good mates with Essendon NGA prospect Josh Eyre he should form a great tandem with him over the coming years and a great young bloke to match.

I was confident that Thunderstruck would take Baldwin but he would have been my pick, Liam Kolar and Matt Allison both very close aswell.

Davo-27

Nice pick, was one of the ones I was hoping might fall through.
 
You've smoked it...though I'd have taken Bruhn over Macrae but other than that, well played!

Yea basically I stuck to my talent order. I do love Bruhn, he’s skilled and quality but I also am a big Macrae fan, he’s got a little bit more strength and size which I was ultimately aiming for as well as no injury history. It would be a little ballsy also to have both Hollands and Bruhn as my first two picks given their injury history. Confident both will be great AFL players but I think Macrae will adapt a little quicker.

Have Macrae at 8 and Bruhn at 12 on my overall power rankings at this point in time (Jones 7 hence the bid)
 
Just in case anyone is interested, Borlase and Newchurch are free to be picked now.

Do you reckon he will go in the real thing?

I’m thinking 50/50, but he’s made for a team with multiple picks.
 
Picks 40 & 41: Hawthorn – Luke Edwards & Zane Trew
Pick 40 - Luke Edwards - Glenlg - 188cm 83kg

a player who impressed me in the 2019 champs as a tall hbf with run and good skills, i really liked his inside clearance game in the SA All Stars game in 2020 as well, seems to be very versatile, mostly has played hbf, but can play some wing and i liked his inside attacking midfield form, his height and versatility make him a good prospect, good skills and smarts.

Pick 41 - Zane Trew - Swan Dist - 185cm 80kg

solid midfielder, i was stuck between Dumesny and Trew as 2 solid mids without setting the world on fire, averages good numbers in the WAFL Colts, averages good tackle numbers so can add a defensive side to a midfield group, with Davis and Berry already taken he is a good midfield option here after we've taken 2 KPP's and a utility in Edwards, so a pure midfielder is a decent pick up at this stage.

andleanback you're up

Surprised he slid so low! Was starting to hope he'd go just that bit lower...
