Any other draft I would disagree, this draft I can't argue with you there. Good deal

Fairly sure Jed Anderson isn't eligible for the mini draft?

gws can take anderson as a NT zone selection and trade him straight away

Now he's finally eligible for the NAB AFL Draft in November â€" and he said he's willing to go anywhere to ignite his career at an AFL club.

"Hopefully I get to do my first pre-season this year, play in the AFL next year and become the best AFL player I can be," he told AFL.com.au.

Anderson is a 181cm midfielder and half-back with a relentless attack on the ball and the ability to run and carry.

GWS has first dibs on his signature because the Northern Territory is its zone. The Giants could put Anderson on to their senior list or they could list him and then trade him on.

Zone selection

haha yeh but they will be a force in 5 years

Looks like GWS could end up with picks 1,2 and 3 for the second year in a row if Melbourne decide to trade pick 3 for the second pick in the mini draft.

Means GWS could draft Whitfield, O'Rourke and maybe Toumpas or Grundy (they need a ruckman with the departure of Giles looking likely).

Adding Whitfield, O'Rourke and Toumpas to the pool of supremely talented players they already have such as Patton, Cameron, Coniglio, Cameron, Buntine, Dom Tyson, Treloar and Bugg just to name a few off the top of my head will make this team seriously scary in a few years time.

If GWS do get the top three picks again this year and they don't win at least one premiership in the next 5-10 years, presumably under the coaching of Leon Cameron, then I will label this team a failure.

So much talent with limitless potential could see this GWS team go places that very very few teams have gone before.
