So he has Long going at 26 and Macreadie at the end of the draft....

Macreadie at #49

I've had a close look at his overall predictions and he seems to have dropped off a couple of players I thought would be taken.

Pick 26 – Kobe Mutch
Balanced Midfielder (Bendigo Pioneers/NSW-ACT)
18/03/1998 | 186.1cm | 83.6kg

Scouting notes: A balanced midfielder who has improved his contested possession work this season. Mutch has gone from an outside midfielder, to one that has spent a lot more time on the inside. By the numbers his season has been superb, but he needs to work on his hurt factor with disposal. Kicks well on both feet. GWS Academy member

In the mix: Cedric Cox would be ideal here at the Bulldogs. A bid on Harrison Macreadie is a possibility.

English has huge bust potential.

Having listened to Scott Clayton talk to Twomey on the Draft podcast a few days ago, I'll be surprised if English isn't in the 4 GCS top 10 picks.

Port's 2 picks in the teens will really determine how we proceed, IMO. Their recruiting manager was quoted in an article on AFL.com.au that Port's midfield needs bolstering. Hinkley is under pressure to get the results tracking north, so ready made mids might be on the menu, which hopefully means they let Marshall slip.

I tend to agree that Port are the team that will most likely shape our first pick but also with GWS escaping draft penalties might also come into to play shaping our 2nd pick.

The likes of English and Marshall being touted for us is very different than previous season and we will need to be prepared to accept a longer term view with them.

What's the consensus on Shai Bolton? Twomey has us thinking about him with 26. He has the speed to be a manic forward pressure player with nice forward tricks too. Has he then application though?

Titus O'Reilly has us taking Marshall and his explanation for it is superb

I love his use of 'ceiling' and 'elite'

Brett Anderson has gone with

Tim English
Ben Long
Josh Williams
Kayle Kirby

Great late picks, not happy with English.
He can do everything except ruck and mark which to me is a little bit important for a ruckman.

Kicking erratic - the last time we took a super-quick forward pressure maniac with poor kicking we rookied him.
Luke Hausdal or something. He had dreadlocks.

If Brett Anderson is right, it could literally be the biggest bust year since 2009 or it could end up amazing. All those players have high ceilings and very low floors.

Possibly one player but I can't see us taking a risk with all picks.

Of course what we at WOOF see as risks maybe Dal doesn't.
