I know its early, but who do you want at the dons?

Collier-Dawkins is showing some promising signs, Jack Bytel would be high on our radar aswell after training with us in the pre-season and being a teammate of Mason at Calder.

This draft is looking sensational and I’m sure we can fill plenty of needs, easy to see why Dodoro was so keen on keeping our picks for this year

I like the sound of Will Holt and Noah Wheeler for Bendigo.
Holt because we need to start planning for life after Hooker, is he a contested key forward type?
Noah sounds like an explosive, balanced, inside mid type. You said he is ā€œbig bodiedā€, but I can only find his size from last year at 176. Do you know if he’s grown/what he is now?

Holt I only saw in a pre-season game last year so I’m not as knowledgeable on him. Wheeler is still the same height 176cm and 80kg, good player but plenty of better midfield options for us I reckon. Bailey Smith from Sandringham is a jet who can play inside and outside and easily play forward and back. A lot of Bartel about him

Is this year Mason Fletchers Draft year.

My god son is the vice captain as a bottom age of eastern, bodes well.

Someone will confirm for certain.

But yes, I am fairly sure that it is.

Yes he is

Also Cal backing up my view on Smith

There’s a nuggety mid from Geelong who’s predicted to go early.

Very prominent in last year’s GF.

I wouldn’t call Sam Walsh nuggety, very nimble midfielder 183cm and 74kg

A little thing i like to do every week is a rolling mock draft, i dont factor in Father son and academy until late in the year.

Calder will get a guaranteed 5 draftees this year so they are on the right track in tacking back that mantel. Eastern and Sandringham have dominated the last few years

You may as well tell us about Bailey and why his career at the Dons will be so special.

I doubt Bailey will make it to pick 18.

Isn’t this supposed to be a super draft? Or is that every year?

Top 5 should be better than last years, still a question about the depth though still a bit to play out yet

Not questioning you but…

THIS IS MEANT TO BE A SUPER DRAFT
