Like last year, our recruiters have done all their looking and reviewing of many, many players. They have narrowed the main draft down to 30 - 40 players, in order, and so as each player is drafted by each club, we will simply select the next best "rated" player on our list that is still available. Of the potential "sliders" Laverde seems very good, and I've heard he is a bit of a chance to get to us.
And just on Ellis, and I'm really asking those who have seen games of his, and not just the highlights clip on the AFL website, does he look a bit like Black, from Brisbane? Certainly not quick over the ground, which Black wasn't, but really set it up nicely for his teammates. A bit like Broderick too.
