Calder v Dandenong wasnāt the best showcase of talent. Not many enhancing their stocks in fact many lowered their stock in my eyes. Curtis Taylor was very poor, Podhajski the clear standout from the game although his kicking can still be inconsistent

Charlie Wilson putting in some big numbers for Ballarat another 5 goal game, he has kicked 18 in the last 4 games.

Would like to see how he goes against some quality opposition, Eastern will be lucky to have a single player drafted this year
Heād be averaging 3 goals, good tackle and possession numbers for an outside type. If he tests well I can see someone taking him mid/late.
Didnāt get a combine invite and players in the TAC that donāt get a combine invite very rarely get taken in the top 50 or so and are very lucky to go in the national at all
Being selected in the combine doesnāt mean you get drafted but your chances of being drafted from the TAC is very slim if you donāt get invited to the national combine. Hamish Brayshaw was the highest pick of those not selected for the combine but he was selected the year before and that was at pick 68
Itās not the case for mature age and interstate players for the combine but if you are mature age or interstate and invited to the combine you are an extremely good chance to be drafted
Every WA player invited last year got drafted and only 2 from SA didnāt get drafted.

Just a continuation, only 4 players since 2015 have gone in the top 50 that didnāt get a combine invite from the TAC
2015
Brayden Sier pick 32 - Collingwood
Mitch King pick 42 - Melbourne
Liam Hulett - pick 46 - Melbourne
2016
Kayla Kirby - pick 50 - Collingwood
Does that include state combines?
No, those 4 players only got state invites

When was the last time a player was taken without an invite to either? or are they usually rookies
@THE_DON1 Curious if there are any big bodied draftees ready to go like a PowellPepper? Doesnāt have to be a mid.
If we were to use our picks for instant impact who would you go with?
For instant impact Iād take Walsh, he may not have the size but he would play Round 1 for any time in the AFL. Stick him on a wing and watch him dominate.
For big bodied players in the SPP mould Iād say Valente, Stocker and E.Smith would be most likely

Is this on actual talent/performance or where you think each club will pick at?
Like Calās itās my personal player rankings, nothing to do with clubs
Ian Hill sounds like a good, solid Essendon name.
Nice one - thank you. Would you mind highlight FS and Academy players? I know the obvious ones but not all of them.
