Sims, Whitlock, Armstrong, Nicholls, Shanahan all ahead of Faull for mine. Maybe even Murphy who, if he had another 2cm almost certainly would be. I think Gerreyn might be better too.
Underdone though to cut some slack.
I was flicking between this game and the vfl.
I know next to nothing about the background and the form of these kids but sometimes you see a player and you know he is just going to be good at whatever level.
I see the comments that Jagga Smith is small and lightly framed but he is just looks a bloody good footballer.
I could see him buzzing around the MCG quite easily.

Good question. I liked his in-face athleticism though.
The thing for me is there a lot of players that I'm scratching around for reasons not to like them, rather than reasons to like them. Seems like a glut of top 5, top 10 and top 15 quality players to me.
And on that, Reid played well, but he looked a bit slow, and skies his kicks under pressure. But, it could be just running style, and something he'll iron out in a flash in a pro environment.
For those watching the VFL, we may already have a forward in our midst.
Bauer has just kicked a beauty from the boundary line with a wet ball and has 3 on his return from injury.

I said last week Reid's pace is just average. And it is.
The question is, can he be that Steele Sidebottom type who also lacks pace, but just keeps knocking up getting the ball and with good execution and decisions thereafter for the most part.
He seems to get around the ground ok, has an uncanny knack of finding the ball, just lacks a burst.

Regarding Jagga, sometimes the player you should pick is just staring you in the face.
If he's the best performed mid, then you seriously have to consider him.
Lets not try to outsmart ourselves here.

Great reading. Sounds like we should do everything possible to snare a second top 10 pick.
Geez that was a good game of footy. Are all the champs games that good?
For those that know - can Sims ruck a bit?

Not a lot of love for the Lindsay boy. Am I wrong to think he looks a dead set certainty at the next level?
I was there today DA and mentioned this in the VFL thread. He is a natural forward. The goal he kicked from the boundary line about 45m out was ridiculous.
