DRAFT NEWS
The Herald Sun can reveal GWS will select devastating outside midfield stars Lachie Whitfield and Jono O'Rourke with its first two picks before calling the name of key defender Lachie Plowman at No.3.
It means Melbourne will land Adelaide's Jimmy Toumpas with pick 4.
...
Ollie Wines could quite easily be overlooked by the bulldogs who have a surplus of inside midfielders.
The dogs are firming to take Troy Menzel and Jakson MaCrae.
Port Adelaide have all but committed to Brody Grundy whilst Brisbane are still tossing up between Sam Mayes and Kristian Jaksch.
It means that the tigers could land the best inside midfielder of the draft with Wines looking likely to slip to Richmond in a dream result.

This started as the outside chance, but has been talked up by so many people (including me) it will be disappointing if it doesn't happen now

Fair enough, I get where you are coming from and to be honest I have been fairly underwhelmed by most of the mids available around our pick.
I do however have concerns about the way the game is heading and would not like to see the list top heavy if we go to 2&2 on the bench next year. I can see a team having a ruck, a full forward, a full back, and the a whole bunch of 188cm flanker types who can play anywhere. The traditional team structure will be dead.
Reckon Jaksch is the smoky-ripper (and mad Tiger supporter to boot).
Ollie Wines looks the goods but is he THAT much of a standout?
Jaksch has something...his timing and hands are fantastic AND he's played at both ends of the ground - pretty impressive kid.

I keep telling myself “fat, slow midfielders with ok disposal don’t go top 5 in the draft”, I’ve almost convinced myself.
wines is meant 2 have the better engine but with FJs focus on footskills, who is the better kick between wines/vlastuin?

Long term, I see Grundy being the pick. Think a more mobile Ottens with a better jump but not the brute force.
But Port would be nuts to overlook him. If he is gone, I like Jackson Macrae. Has the one skill you can't improve, time with the ball.
OK - Toupas looks good but if Melbourne pick him that kind of shows what a joke their drafting is still. Wines - best mates with Viney tough and complementary to each other. Melbourne would be nuts not to take him..
Would be shocked if we took anyone but Vlas.

no way,
melbourne should take Toumpas everyday of the week ahead of Wines ILO.
be crazy to overlook him.
You dont take guys at pick 4 because they are mates with someone else you've drafted
