Collier-Dawkins for mine

I know bugger all about him, but he has great size for a midfield prospect.

We currently have picks 18, 36, 72 & 90.

Collier-Dawkins for mine

POS: Midfielder
Ht 193cm, Wt 88kg, DOB 3/2/00
From Oakleigh Chargers/Vic Metro
August ranking: 17

He might not be a big ball-winner at this stage of his development, but Collier-Dawkins can impact games through the midfield without dominating them. The big-bodied inside ball-winner was excellent, particularly early, in the Chargers' finals win over the Western Jets last week. He finished with 20 disposals and had three clearances, and is most comfortable using it by hand at this stage. Has upside.

I'd go with Valente to keep the track record of drafting south Australian u18 captains. 

[georgies31]

Is the draft noted for midfielders or more KP love to get some quality inside midfielders.

Ready-made too.

It seems Valente will be around our pick or even slip down the draft order for the similar reasons Graham did. Question marks on his pace although his state coach says it isn't an issue. Valente is also injured (bone bruising on his knee) so he won't be at the AFL Combine front and centre in front of club recruiters.

Another mid with good size.

[one-eyed]

Callum Twomey on Ch 9's Future Stars show has Liam Stocker going to Richmond at pick 16 in his latest first round phantom draft.

[🏅Dooks]

Wouldnt mind Hately if hes still available

[Diocletian]

Our first pick should either be tall like Fyfe/Bontempelli, a brick like Wines/Viney or ideally both like Cripps...
