Danyel Pearce - Quick, agile, has a leap and a big motor. This kid's got to be top ten if he has any skills :thumbsup
Nathan Van Berlo - Agile and big motor. :)
Even if these guys are not the most naturally gifted footballers they might be worth a shot.
Fantastic athletes, :bow opinions?

His small size (178cm, 72kg) is what would go against him. Apparently very light so would need a few seasons in the gym before getting a senior game. Sounds like he'll be picked up more as a rookie although footydraft.com have him at pick 56 (4th round). Here's what they say about Pearce: http://www.footydraft.com/players.php?player=danyle_pearce

Also on the light side (74kg). Apparently a good kick and his WAFL stats aren't too bad. Cracked it for 3 senior games with West Perth. footydraft.com have him at pick 49 (late 3rd round pick).

H Tiger:
Look these guys might not be able to kick a ball.... but both are heavier than trambling and he is going to go top 4.
Both have played seniors WALF & SANFL.
Get them in the Gym, endurance is harder to develop than size.
H Tiger:
And another thing I'd take Roughead before Franklin.
Better to take someone who doesn't want to go home in 3-5 years.
So..... Delagio No1 :thumbsup Roughhead 4 Sharpe 12 Williams 16... :-\ a gamble I know, but I he can tackle. Played in the back line in Rugby Union for his school 20 Lewis......but Bate if he was still available and finally a foward Young or Little.
mightytiges:
Williams attributes look great (tall, good agility for his size, booming kick) but for somone who has only been playing footy for past 2 years that's a huge risk. I would rather us play it more conservative with our 4 first round picks.
