Really interesting prospect, he's a bit like Esava Ratugolea in that he's undersized for a ruck but he's a freak athlete. I suspect someone will take the punt.

Ha. How dare you Bully. Just plucked my exact two. I’ve talked Day up on here before. I really like him at this point in the draft.
And Daniels fits the pressure small forward that everyone wants. So, to my next prospect that I think has a stack of development in him.
Jackson Ross 192cm 74kg Wingman/Medium Forward. Former tennis ace who has stared at Haileybery College as a CHF. Former tennis star who has only recently switched to the sport. Kicks the ball so well on both feet. Think Jack Gunston/Jack Watts. Will need to add kilo’s but at this point, he is definitely worth the punt.
#67 Essendon - Will Walker
There is something about this kid that i just cant put my finger on that say's just maybe he will be a player and im thinking
Stevie J / Toby Greene type player.
He is 1 of these enigmatic players that is quite then all of a sudden Bang,Bang,Bang - He has 3 goals to his name in 20 minutes
Will will become a Big Bodied mid that has a knack of kicking goals and just being at the right place at the right time and will be a work in progress but just might be the steal of the draft similar value to Jack Graham in regards to Value.
Just quietly hoping Will Walker will last to Richmond in the Rookie draft

Pick 68 - Hawthorn
Kyron Hayden
Last year I was lucky enough to snare Sam Powell-Pepper for the Lions & this year I'm heading in a similar direction with Kyron Hayden. Only a couple of years ago Hayden was vying with Davies-Uniake as one of the best juniors in the land, unfortunately for the Subiaco midfielder he was struck down with osteitis pubis and missed a whole year of footy in rehabilitation. The climb back has been steady and despite his carnival being solid without being spectacular his form in the WAFL reserves has been top notch. Add the fact he broke Nick Naitanui's running vertical record with a jump of 103cm and one gets a sense of the type of impact he may have at AFL level. Hayden is also the best exponent of the Dusty Don't Argue in this year's draft class, something which makes him a tough player to pin down. If there's one area of improvement it will be building his tank and increasing his onfield minutes, something which was noticeable playing for WA. At this point in the draft he's the type of player who could reap huge rewards.

69. The West Coast Eagles selects Ben Paton (19 years old, 185cm, 78 kg, Small Defender, Murray U/18). Paton impressed at the combine finishing 3rd in the standing vertical leap & 6th in the 20 metre sprint. Named as a defender in the All Australian side this year.
