    Who do you want in our Guernsey Thursday?

    Which potential draftees are you hoping we select? Who do you rate?

    Based purely on a variety of writeups and their highlights clips on the website mine are:

    Viojo-Rainbow: Purely for his spearing round the corner left foot picks that travel at breakneck speed. Could be a player you feed a lot of the ball through like Hawthorn do Suckling.

    Toby McLean: Looks confident, can leap, strong mark, kicks goals. Could add a bit more x factor to our potentially awesome forwardline.

    Alex Neal-Bullen: Another inside mid, but I'm not convinced we have quite enough, and a bit like Hrovat Neal-Bullen looks like a player that plays with intensity, is composed and uses the ball well.

    Connor Menadue: Kid with pace and skills that likes to run with the ball and try and break open games. Fits a need or two.

    Don't know much about the prospects only what we have on Woof and the media, so other than who has been mentioned a few times IMO Harrison Wigg's left foot looks elite and he also seems to have bit of tow.

      Not that I'm a watcher of draft talent, but I really hope Menadue is available, his highlights video's some some fantastic skills.

        Probably these guys in order of our picks and who will possibly be available.

        Brayden Maynard - I have a bit of a man crush on him. Tough, hard at it, plays with high intensity, good penetrating kick, very good overhead, versatile and has a touch of pace to go with it.

        Daniel McKenzie - Very athletic, versatile medium midfielder/defender. I really like his game sense and I think his game will translate quite well to AFL

        Toby McLean - X factor forward, but also looks good through the midfield as well. His leap and overhead marking ability kind of cancels out his height.

        Ed Langdon - Speedy medium forward/midfielder, with good endurance as well. Been injured a lot, but looks a great talent.

        Daniel Nielson - Very athletic tall defender. Dale Morris replacement

          I'd be happy with a later cheap KPD type like a Bukx-Smith who isn't highly rated at anything other than the thing he will be drafted for (being a close-checking defender). These lowly rated types can often forge quite an important career.

          Besdies that - best available with player who are really good with at least one skill.

            The only one i'm deadset on getting is Lukas Webb. Outside of him i'll welcome all the rest, but be happy if we get him with one of the last three picks.

              Would be delighted with the following if available at our picks.

              Daniel McKenzie
              Menadue
              McDonald
              V-Rainbow
              Keitel
              I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

                What position does he play?

                  He's a utility midfielder atm ED, so he can theoretically move between inside and outside play along with helping around the extensions of the forward and backline. All in all i see him as a versatile player for the future.

                    Two of D. McKenzie, Menadue or Lamb for our first pick would be a great result.

                    I like Webb, McLean, DVR and R. McKenzie for later picks if available.

                      Are we allowed to draft players with hyphenated surnames?

                        I think we are gonna have to. Half the draft pool this year has them.

                          It'll take some adjustment not to mention the nickname issues

                            Easily solved, just call them all 'Brad'

                              It's been a long time since we had the likes of Simon Minton-Connell and Cameron McKenzie-Mcharg running around in a Bulldogs jumper, time to inject some aristocracy back into the side!
