Can confirm that Harry Dear has been passed over from Hawthorn. He will not be taken as a father/son in the draft. Interest from a few clubs

[Ringo]

Any word and Academy bidding as well.  Really interested as I suspect Dawson may cost us our second pick.

Chances of Nakia getting picked up?

Chances of Nakia getting picked up?

Love his name - Will probably go in late second round

Fyfe anyone?

Already 4kg heavier than Fyfe. He's a big boy...a little too big. Needs to drop those skinfolds.

Being from the NT (hence the relative lack of hype), Nakia Cockatoo might slide a bit lower than 2nd round. Was part of the AIS but has had serious injuries and that game on Saturday was one of his only games all season - though he definitely made a statement by winning BOG and kicking a fantastic goal! He's still a bit of an unknown quantity which could affect his draft standing.

My tip is a mid-to-late pick, but he may pop up as a surprise Top 30. Serious talent if the right club can find him and unlock his potential.

Apparently he has dropped a lot of weight this year already... He's a truck!

He was weighed at 96kg at the start of the year. Doesn't matter how big you are, he can still move like lightning.
