It would be great if McEvoy was still around at pick 17 but the wraps on him seem to be pushing him up the draft order by the week. Some early phantom drafts even have him at 5 or 6  :-\. Still it's early days with 5 months to go before draft day.

Matt Burgan's top 10 from the Division 2 games on the weekend

1 – Loccy McGregor – NSW/ACT – 174cm, 72kg
One of the smaller players at this year's championships, McGregor played a blinder against the Thunder, booting four goals and claiming 30 touches. Busy and tenacious, McGregor also had 11 inside 50s, a great result for the little fella.

2 – Aaron Joseph – Tasmania – 178cm, 75kg
Very impressive, Joseph was the leading ball-winner in the match against Queensland, winning 34 disposals – including 22 kicks. His work-ethic was super, emphasised by his centre clearance work, while he pumped the ball inside 50 on 10 occasions.

3 – Craig Bird – NSW/ACT – 178cm, 75kg
He has already been listed as a Sydney scholarship holder.

4 – Jay Bowden – Tasmania – 184cm, 74kg
A midfielder/half-forward, Bowden shone with five goals against Queensland, enhancing his status as one of Tasmania's best prospects. He also finished with 21 disposals and six inside 50s.

5 – Tom Bellchambers – Tasmania – 199cm, 91kg
Standing at 199cm, Bellchambers was a telling figure against Queensland, clearly having the better of Scorpions' ruck duo David Hill and Jake Spencer. He won a whopping 33 disposals and was excellent in the centre hit outs. It was a most impressive display.

6 – Aaron Cornelius – Tasmania – 191cm, 80kg
Too young to be drafted this year

7 – Darin Stewart – Queensland – 191cm, 87kg
Stewart's performance against Tasmania could not be questioned after bagging five goals, which included an excellent goal tucked on a difficult angle in the pocket. His unusual kicking style certainly stands out and has raised some the eyebrows of recruiters.

8 – Trevor Oliver – Northern Territory – 181cm, 88kg
One of a handful of "overage" 19 year olds Territorians

9 – Patrick Fittock – Northern Territory – 185cm, 71kg
Like Oliver, Fittock is a 19-year-old

10 – Taylor Walker – NSW/ACT – 188cm, 81kg
tied to  Adelaide via the scholarship program

WA pumped Vic Metro at Subiaco

15.16-106
8.10-58

Cale Morton (192cm, 75kg) apparently starred for WA according to SEN.

Certainly did. If we get a top 2 pick and we get either Kreuzer or Morton then its a win for us. Morton seems to be bigger than 75kgs...Id say hes around 80-81kgs at the moment. Hes going to be a great player.

Morton is listed as 75 kg on the WA team list.

According to Kevin Sheehan

Kreuzer (199cm, 91kg) - lost no friends. 25 hitouts, 20 possies, pushed forward for a goal. Best Vic Metro.
Grimes (187, 76)- best of the Vic mids. WA mids swamped the Vic.

Cale Morton - sensational. Marking, kicking and run was first class
Rhys Palmer (180, 76 ) - 34 possies
David Myers (190, 85 ) - rocketed up in draft position based on today.

Kevin Sheehan said that Maric's goal-kicking conversion rate over 18mths of the TAC was 85% - that's very, very impressive.

Cotchin was disappointing, but that's just one match. Don't write him off just yet. The reverse applies to Palmer.

my main concern with cotchins game yesterday was that at no stage did he break his tag. we already have deledio who cant break a tag in AFL, cotchin struggling to break it at that level anyway its true that 1 game doesnt make or wreck a players chances. Im spewing that Natanui isnt up for grabs.
