If Hunter is not available I wouldnt mind seeing May selected
Taller, faster, higher is Hunter, he is elite in speed 2.9 over 20 and leap, Top10 national for standing leap at 2020 combine and grown to 196cm
Bauer is more like your smooth moving Gunston third tall at 191cm.
Regardless, you got to be able to play them to develop and we have a free hit for the rest of the season with JR8 around to teach forward craft.
I like Buller, he is a footballer and attacks the ball and man fiercely. Nank has forged a career out of this. If fit he could walk straight into the game against GWS and that may have you choose him if it was line ball, but he ain't so it doesn't
I worry about Buller ability next level a bit more than Hunter. Think Hunters athletic tools will allow him a better chance to play well at the next level. As you stated, he has elite level athletic ability and he’s the exact type you take here.
Not saying Buller can’t or won’t make it, but working on percentage wise, think for me, it’s Hunter.

Hunter will be available and well take Rye Penny I ****ing guarantee it.
Penny may be a name that we call out tonight but surely not at 4. I actually like the kid but yeah no.

Maric sounds like he might be available. Do we take him?
Getting a Shane Morrison vibe the way these key forwards are getting pumped up.

Nice summation.
Our key forward stocks are the worst in the league. The sad reality is I could go through nearly every single AFL list and I could pick a key forward (or multiple) that would walk into our best 22.
We need a base to start somewhere. A big, solid young key forward with good form behind him is a huge upgrade on what we have to pick from (even if upside is capped). I still maintain Ryan is our future first ruck. Don't see it with him as a forward.
Yeah, Ryan's hands give me zero confidence he'll be a KPF. Great ruck potential though. I have even less confidence in Bradke... Could've already had Teal on our list. Bauer is a better defender than forward imo. Stocks are low.

Maric, Buller, Hunter, and Tresize. At least one of these players (and other KPFs) will be available at our first pick, so surely we don’t stuff this draft up and pick a pure ruck…
Richmond also looks more favourably on pressure acts and forward defence. Hence why Noah C cant get into the side
We'll take Tucker and Matty Clarke will strut out with a cigar between his teeth and his arms draped over a couple of floozies and rattle off 'we like his versatility, he can play in the ruck and go forward and go back and clunk marks in defence'.Maric, Buller, Hunter, and Tresize. At least one of these players (and other KPFs) will be available at our first pick, so surely we don’t stuff this draft up and pick a pure ruck…
Later on we learn that he's like 99.99% of ruckmen and is shit at everything but rucking.
Not worse than Melbourne's. They have JVR then literally no one under 30. They do have Ben Brown, Tom McDonald and a resting ruck
Do West Coast have anyone outside of Allen? Darling is cooked.

That’s exactly what I am worried about with Buller. Hunter though looks agile and athletic. Kinda like Charlie Curnow and Jeremy Cameron (although I’m not saying they’re similar in skill level). I think athletic KPFs like that adapt better to the modern AFL game.
That's funny because he ranks as elite for tackles this year but everything else is below average including his goal kicking haha
It's a rookie draft. There ain't much to choose from. If we feel the most likely player to succeed is a half back flanker, then we should take them.
This is an overlooked point IMO.
I haven’t done a deep dive into the upcoming draft, but on face value it would seem that the likes of Maric may go somewhere around 30. Guys like Buller maybe in the 40s.
Ultimately, take the players you think have the best opportunity to be AFL players. If two are ranked relatively equal, the position of need should be tie breaker.
No point taking a player just because they play a position if they are unlikely to ever be an AFL player if there are likely AFL players available.
That said, we should get a KPF at some point.

Will probably run till about them going on form. Tipping 11 picks, could be a long night.
Was thinking if we were dead keen on teal/tresize then go either first and back up tall would be May or Elliott
I am wary of wafl form it’s shit compared to vfl where you’re playing afl listed players most weeks
Is that incl Tom lynch
Who are Coll tall key forwards
Melb ?
PA we’re finlayson and lord
I wouldn’t get to hysterical the benchmark isn’t very high

That's a good point, not many gun KPF's in the comp right now.
Makes it even more worth the risk, imagine nabbing one for freesies. Other clubs would melt.
