Dyson Sharp seems to be everyone's clear #1 for next year's draft at this point.

It's all about balance. We've had no balance in the midfield. Our first pick will be that classy, speedy player. Next year I'd expect us to get 1st or 2nd draft pick so we get another. We also need those taller, strong and defensively good midfielders that are good marks and can be damaging forward. There are a couple of good ones this year and I think Langford is the best of them potentially available at 6. We just have a lot of holes in our list. This is the opportunity, over the next 2-3 years to balance up the list a bit.
That would probably be Dyson Sharpe that Steely mentioned above
I don't have a full order, but do you see it differently? You think the top 25 are all similar to each other or you think there are clearly better players in there?
I gotta say this year and next have an outstanding crop of nicknameable players.
So...we have 8 quality picks.
We need to trade up to pick 2 so we get FOS...it is imperative to get high class draftees.
That means pick 2 for 6 and say 18
Leaves 1 2 10 11 20 23 24.
It is imperative we draft players now....it takes a few years for developement..
Another year delays progress.
I wanted 7 draftees but it looks like 24 will go for F1 next year.
So six it is.
1 Lalor
2 FOS
1O Lindsay/Hotten/M Reid/Allen
11 Faull/Armstrong/Shanahan
20 O Hannaford
23 M Whitlock
I would have liked Ough , Dattoli , Gross , Hynes or any number of other mid/utility players with 24.
Still want 7...but I guess if we can get a future 12 or under for 2025 for pick 24 then it is the right move.
I like the idea of the whole 7 developing together.
I have said earlier that I honestly think H Reid will come home after 3 years.
Drafting B Allen and FOS would be key to getting Reid to Richmond in 2 years as a swap for Allen.
H Reid would make this draft and next turbo charged.

Dimma will want to come back in 5 yearsDimma saw all the picks for Yze’s new toys.
After Ashcroft, then in no particular order Draper, Lalor, O’Sullivan and Smith I think the next 20 are pretty even. I like the idea of spectacular so I’d probably have Langford and Tauru next,
but really what do I know, it is too close to call.
Yeah totally know he is high up Smokin Tyres (not realistically in the conversation for 1 though).
Just don't rate him as high as most.
He said that he wouldn't use picks,
He won't waste 2 or 3 picks to move up.
1 6 10 11 is unbelievable.
Does Draper go to Adelaide?
If Tarau goes to North and, Carlton will select Fos 155%, Melbourne will look at Langford or Smillie. Therefore we will have Jagga or Reid @ pick 6.
Watching some more Lawler highlights and can't get over how much he looks, moves and plays like Dusty. Kicking, handballing the change of direction, the don't argue. Even the inside out kick on his right and the way he waves his arm before he kicks to direct traffic. Similarities are eerie.
This is who I think we will target at 1 & 6
1. Lalor
2. FOS - North. I ain’t buying this Tauru theory. Their list still isn’t that great and needs class.
3. Draper
4. Smith
5. Smilie
6. Langford
Haven’t included Ashcroft for obvious reasons. But North will bid on him.
