Re: Ryan Murphy

All mids. Morton is 192cm but plays like a mid.

I will take that.

Re: Ryan Murphy

I actually think McEvoy is right up in the pecking order and Henderson just a step behind them. Would Clayton draft a ruckman like McEvoy though? I get the impression that both he and Eade would be reluctant to use an early pick on a ruckman.

Ebert would have to be highly regarded as someone who could play some senior football in his first season. Palmer and Masten are ready made players although they might not have the scope for improvement as some of the others.

A mate of mine from the West really rates Myers just behing Morton as the best player from WA.

Interesting comment on McEvoy. I think he is probably a ruckman as well, but the reality of his situation (this year) is that he has basically not played in the ruck - he has played as a key forward and Murray ruck Simpson (207cm) and Grant (204cm). To be truthful, as a ruckman he has turned into a bit of a 'kick behind the play, play from behind' slacker - as a key forward he is leading and presenting well.

I am beginning to think that the best two talls who are being called ruckman in this draft (Kreuzer and McEvoy) might actually be key forwards...I am convinced if it with regards to Kreuzer. Ask me about McEvoy on Monday.
