Update post-all drafts:
* Club has bolstered the 23-24 age bracket with 3 additions. Previously only had 4 players (ie. only 4 players from the 2007-08 drafts combined).
* Club has clearly targeted more tall midfielders this recruiting period (3 additions).
* 85-89kg bracket is clearly now the dominate mode on our list (17 players); Miles is the only player under 80kg on our list.
* I would predict the Club will target KPPs in the 2014 trade/FA/drafts period. Next year's draft is meant to have a number of KPPs available at the top end.
