As far as types we need 2 more quality mids, another AFL standard ruck, a tall agile big-bodied defender, a quality CHF, quality small quick footy smart forward & quality lead-up footysmart midsized forward (another Nathan Brown).
I'll be quite happy with 3 picks roughly in the top 30 including our first pick at 7 (finishing 13th on the ladder).
1. GWS
2. GC
3. Melb
4. Melb
5. Dogs
6. Port
7. Rich (1st rounder)
8. Bris
9. Carl
10. Freo
...
19. Syd
20. GWS (PP)
21. GC (PP)
22. Melb (PP)
23. GWS
24. GC
25. Melb
26. Dogs
27. Port
28. Rich (compo)
29. Rich (2nd rounder)
...
47-50: Rich (3rd rounder)
Mid-late 60s: Rich (4th rounder)
7. Best available 18 y.o. draftee - which will probably be another gun ballwinner/midfielder.
28. Best available 18 y.o. draftee
29. Trade to score another decent ruckman (Swans have traded late 20s picks to poach young (21-23 y.o.) and upcoming rucks from other clubs - eg: Jolly/Mumford - to be Maric's understudy). I would then look to trade our way back into the 30s then use that on another best available 18 y.o. draftee
50?: Best available 18 y.o. draftee
68?: Top state league (VFL/SANFL/WAFL) 20-something player who has the speed and acceleration to play at AFL level. Obviously no one from Coburg!
PSD pick 6 - history says possibly slim pickings here. Pass
Free agent - key tall or clever quick midsized forward. Otherwise best available.
Newy will go onto the veterans' list freeing up a senior list spot and meaning one less rookie spot.
Need 7 senior list outs ignoring trades: Connors, MacDonald, Webberley, Derickx, White, McGuane, Graham (pay out)
Rookies:
out: Miller (retire), Heslin (gone home), Wright?
2-3 rookies in.
