So, who seem to be the top handful of draft prospects from the state leagues this year?
Luke Ryan (Coburg)- only state league player invited to the draft combine. Well rounded half back flank. Good skills & dash.
Brett Eddy (South Adelaide). Goal kicking machine, key forward.
Liam Ryan (Subiaco) Excitement machine small forward.
Darcy Cameron (Claremont) 21 year old 204cm who seems to dominate.
Any other main contenders?
FFS Sam Menegola has been brilliant for the Cats this year, taken at pick 66. What a steal. FFS
Canāt find the article online, but the HS last Saturday were claiming we were one of three or four clubs interested in Luke Ryan from Coburg and also mentioned we were interested in Casey ruck Oscar McInerney (21y/o, 203cm, 100kg) who won the VFL reserves B&F medal this season.

Wow that is interesting actually. It makes sense that we are after a physically developed ruckman but one who played VFL Dev league? That is surprising. Youād think theyād prefer someone who is youngish but playing very good footy for state league seniors (VFL, WAFL, SANFL etc). Might have a lot of development left in him.
Luke Ryan would be a perfect fit given his class, run off half back line and good stature. Funny thing was, we actually cut him from our own VFL team this pre-season before he went to Coburg lol.

Lol he won the Dev league off about 10 games
Iirc starting the year in Montrose reserves (yes, you read right), played a game or 2 in the ones there, about a dozen in the VFL 2s and has been playing VFL 1s since
Kicked a goal or 2 in a final on the weekend

Brett Eddy has been linked to Port well ā ā ā ā
Yeah I saw that. Heād be a smart get by them given Schulz retirement/delisting.
I like him and by most peopleās informed reckoning he is capable of making the grade. Our need for him isnāt as great as some other clubs now though but wouldnāt be opposed to taking him.

With the acquisition of Stewart Iād be looking at a mature ruck before a mature KPF (which I was all for before we got Stewart).

What need do we have for a mature ruck? Leuey, Bellchambers, McKernan, then Gach. Weāre well enough stocked there to not need to use a pick on a 3rd string mature ruck.
Reckon Eddy could be a good selection with pick 41 or rookie (donāt think we take more than 4 in the draft), if heās as good/natural a forward as suggested. Would give us Joe, Stewart, and Eddy as dedicated key forwards. With Hurley, Hooker (think heāll get 1st choice at FF), and McKernan as swing/fallback forwards.

I think the suggestion by Enki is that McKernan is most likely going to get the chop before the next list lodgement.
