Ahern has more runs on the board so I would have no hesitation in calling out his name. His carnival was better & he played a ripper game in the TAC final, he has also been tested at the highest level as a bonafide midfielder. By that I mean winning clearances against quality opposition and racking up impressive possession counts. He can also play as a small forward, we clearly lack that at the moment.
If Ahern is off the board then Duggan seems a likely candidate for our pick, he's got a good tank, a lovely boot on him and the pedigree of an AIS scholarship. If this is how the cards fall then we really need to address our lack of inside grunt with pick 33, there are sure to be some good options, particularly with the SA boys, all of whom have been playing senior football and doing well.
