discussion on the draft?

Any comments about how you team faired in today's draft.
At no.13, Freo picked Lachie Weller from Qld. Apparently he has a poster of Nat Fyfe on his wall. I like him already!

Lachie Weller.gun in the making ?
When it comes to his strengths, there are a whole heap. Firstly, he is such a smart player. Sometimes it seem as though he is two steps ahead of everyone else out on the ground. He can step through traffic with ease, knows exactly where the ball will drop and is one of those players who will direct players with his kicking - he kicks it where he wants them to be, not straight to them. And as a result, less of his kicks are chopped off or spoiled by opponents. The other thing that he does so well is to hit the ball at full speed. When he does become that bit stronger, that ability will make him so valuable in the centre square and at throw ups around the ground. He has already shown flashes of this, and being able to collect the ball at speed and kick goals as a result is something that will turn games. He's just clean with everything he does. And those strengths are just when he has ball in hand, I haven't even touched on his athletics past.
At the start of the year, I rated Lachie Weller as the best midfielder in the draft. And to be honest, not much has changed since then. The form of Petracca has perhaps seen him drop down one, and some taller midfielders could be preferred depending on what teams are after. But, Weller is one of the standout midfielders and looks to be a pretty safe option at the top of the draft - and I'd have him firmly inside the top 10.

He has been described to me today as a Simon Black clone. I hope so!

No idea about Teia Miles but
No idea about Teia Miles but Marc Pittonet at No 50 looks like he could be a steal. Got a few rucks floating around already but it looks as if he wont need six years like Lowden did, though the depth is there so he won't need to be rushed. Just watching videos of Daniel Howe and he looks promising. Looks like a capable defender, could well be a tall mid...both picks seem to have mature bodies that can handle the demands of the AFL.
