Weller is the one for me. Really classy type.

He will go to either Adelaide or Port.   :shh

Jaydoen Laverde looks like a pretty promising prospect. Good size and can do it all by the looks of it.

Still hasn't put it together with any consistency yet. Has all the tools but may be a bit more of a slow burn IMO.

What selection do you think he will go?

Probably 6-10. Could see a West Coast grabbing him. They desperately need some speed and class. Adelaide as well. If we lose to Sydney we will pick before them though.

if i was looking for speed and class pickett would be the one for me.
its probably a silly thing but my gripe with pickett is his size, i hate useing first rnd picks on players below 180cm but pickett is one.

what i wouldnt give to have a pick at around 15.

10, 15, 28,  one could do some real damage with those picks and potentially target and fix one of the areas that need fixing for the next 10 yrs.lets say kpd is the targeted area
im hoping some one like durdin would be there at our first pick  7 thru 11.  and marchbank or lever available at 15.
lets say mids how good would it be to get two of pickett, weller, and brayshaw.

or do we say we have needs everywhere and we try and address each area.
i really hope we at least try and trade into nd picks like i said one at 15 and one at 25 or there abouts would be fantastic.geez 10 15, 25, 28, and 46 would enable us to invest heavily in the nd targeting youth and list weaknesses and all with pretty decent picks.

I rate Jarrod Garlett as equal to Pickett and he may be there for our second rounder. Would rather take Durdin, Lever, Weller in that order for our first rounder and hope Garlett slides to our second.

If he hasn't been consistent yet, why do you think he will go that early?
I hope FJ has him in his sights, the kid has some real class IMO.

I think with the recent success of guys like Macrae and Bontempelli who are similar as that tall, rangy x-factor type of mid, someone will take him on what he could become rather than what he has done so far. Hopefully we are in with a shot.

Personally like Aidan Anderson from WA as an x-factor type who I think is better value than a Pickett. Or as YBB says Jarrod Garlett. Much better value in those rounds than using a 1st rounder on Pickett who I do like.

I hope we somehow snag that Wigg kid. Footskills skills like his are priceless. Especially at our club.
