There's quite a number of half-back flankers in there too. Dimma will be positively drooling ;D

to me there are two issues to decide on when drafting players.
how good a player they have potential to be, and what are the chances they will reach that potential.

The second part is the hardest to get right, and probably the part we have got wrong too often in the past, or worse not even taken it into consideration.

garlett does look a likely type, but being from WA you have the extra in the go home factor, something probably even harder to gauge in advance.

all these things need to be weighed up, because all the potential in the world is useless if they aint on your list in three years time.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Go home factor always much more intense with Indigenous kids too.

Jackson MacRae and Dean Towers would give us some outside speed and class we need.

Jackson? Delist

Drafting Rulebook:


Rule 4.2: When drafting a player with the name Jackson Christian names should be safe but avoid surname like the plague.

When you watch a crap kick on tv they usually give you a replay as well.
