One of the draftee watchers on BF (Smythe) has done a full mock draft.
He has Jasper Scaife and Luke Teal going to Richmond.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For this whole last week I have been going through this (fairly thoroughly) trying to make sure the swaps and pick positions are in order as well as all the players I think will be drafted.
I think they are, and I think the positions are in order, so here is my final mock.
ROUND ONE1 - GWS - Aaron Cadman
2 - BRIS - Will Ashcroft - Bid matched
haw trade 50, 52, 65 for pick 36
Freo trade 43, 44 for pick 35
Stk trade 47 for 2023 F3rd tied to WB
3 - NTH - George Wardlaw
4 - NTH - Harry Sheezel
5 - ESS - Mattaes Phillipou - I like him here and have for a while, I think ess do too.
6 - GC - Bailey Humphrey
7 - HAW - Elijah Tsatas
8 - GEEL - Jhye Clark
9 - WCE - Ed Allan - should not take the chance he gets taken before their next pick which is a big possibility, talk he may go earlier too, but if Clark falls to Geelong I believe they take him.
10 - STK - Cam McKenzie
11 - CARL - Jedd Busslinger
12 - WB - Rueben Ginbey
13 - BRIS - Jaspa Fletcher - Bid matched
14 - WCE - Oliver Hollands
15 - GWS - Jacob Konstanty
GWS trade 20, 21 to melb for 15 and F2nd - he will not last until their next pick and they want him, so they move up and grab him here whilst moving a pick out into next year, melb trade with 2 players in mind
16 - SYD - Matt Jefferson - making the fwd line of the future look very promising at the swans
17 - GWS - Brayden George
18 - COLL - Jake Ryan - word now has it they like him a lot, and he is a very Collingwood style of player, he won’t make it to their next pick and is best available that suits a need to help out their backline so I have him going here
19 - SYD - Lachlan Cowan
20 - MELB - Oli Hotton - might not make it here but the odds were fairly in that favor given who the teams above might take, so melb get a ripper here
ROUND TWO21 - MELB - Harry Barnett - melb like him and this is probably how they get him, using that trade from gws
22 - WCE - Elijah Hewett
23 - ADEL - Max Michalanney - Bid matched
Nth trade 40 for 46 and F3rd tied to Coll
24 - WB - Josh Weddle
25 - CARL - Charlie Clarke
Ess trade 25 and F4th tied to syd to Carl for 29, 66 and F2nd - Carl jump up to grab Clarke here and get their wish of getting another player early, he will provide tackling pressure and toughness, and another scoring option
26 - NTH - Lewis Hayes
27 - HAW - Mitch Szybkowski
28 - COLL - Henry Hustwaite
29 - ESS - Alwyn Davey Jnr - Bid matched
30 - WCE - Darcy Jones
31 - COLL - Joe Richards - several clubs want him and someone will have to take him around this mark if they want him more, will be a perfect foil down fwd for the pies and replace Elliot eventually in a smooth transition
32 - STK - Coby Burgiel
33 - FREO - Kaleb Smith - Ethan Phillips is a chance here, but I don’t think Jed Adams will go in the ND leaving him to get listed by Freo anyway in the rookie draft so they go for a very attacking, super quick player here with fwd nous as well, he plays with intent and is athletic necessary fits the Fremantle style
34 - STK - Ethan Phillips
STK trade F2nd to gws for 34 - Stk jump up to fill a need and grab the Fothergill-Round-Mitchell medalist here
35 - STK - Jaxon Binns - fits a need they have sorely missed out on the wings
36 - PORT - Jaiden Magor
37 - FREO - Tom Scully
38 - HAW - James Van Es
39 - NTH - Isaac Keeler
melb trade 39 to Nth for F3rd - a fwd to help out who is also a dual position fwd who can pinch hit in the ruck, the need help in both areas so they jump up to grab him here and melb trade out to next yr
ROUND THREE40 - WB - Lachlan Sullivan - gets the nod here from their vfl team especially with Dunkley leaving he fits the bill (also talk recently is that this is their plan)
41 - ESS - Harry Lemmey
Ess trade 55, F3rd to haw for 40 - I think ess will have faith that their new coach and new system can get the best out of lemmey and I don’t see him being able to run the Mitchell system at haw, munkara was an option but I think teams will show good faith towards the players wish to get to ess so haw get a pick next year and choose someone they think will fall to their next pick
42 - GWS - Harry Rowston - Bid matched
43 - SYD - Adam D’Aloia
44 - GC - Hugh Davies - suits a need especially with Rory Thomson retiring
45 - NTH - Cooper Harvey - Bid matched
46 - ESS - Anthony Munkara - Bid Matched - haw make the bid knowing ess will match just to make sure they can get who they want with that last pick which came from ess
47 - HAW - Noah Long - after keeping Nth and ess honest hawks grab Noah here as a mid/Fwd option with plenty of upside
48 - CARL - Max Gruzewski - couldn’t find a spot earlier for him, tried hard, but he suits a need here and I know they like him as a swingman
49 - WCE - Connor McDonald
wce trade F3rd tied to port to Coll for 49
50 - RICH - Jasper Scaife - maybe this is the guy that can fill that fwd need for the future, Freo may match but with Amiss showing huge promises, Taberner and Treacy there as well, and after taking Scully early I have them passing here with Jed Adams on the radar for the rookie draft with possibly another mid
51 - ADEL - Billy Dowling
52 - GEEL - Jed Hagan
53 - ADEL - Harry Cole
54 - PORT - Tom McCallum - suits a need and will free up Allir
55 - HAW - Harvey Gallagher - hawks get their guy here to provide run and carry as well as a scoring option from the Def
56 - RICH - Luke Teal - with a full injury free year should be much higher so a best available here
57 - GEEL - Blake Drury
