The AFL site has been unable to decide between a 'Super Seven' or an 'Elite Eight' but I'd say it's irrelevant when they include Blakey (FS selection) and Rozee who imo is a little below the others. Some extra reading in any case on the relevant players around our pick
here.
Interesting to see the talk of the Suns wanting midfielders as I really don't see that as being the case. They have drafted a tonne of mids in recent years and are losing their key talls (Lynch and probably May) without anywhere near the same quality to replace them. Meanwhile they have Swallow, Lyons, Hall, Miller, Weller and Hanley supporting a tonne of kids like Martin, Ainsworth, Brodie, Fiorini, Powell, Bowes and many more through the midfield. I just can't picture them not taking the King brothers at this point, especially with the higher chances of retention.
Carlton have to take Walsh and I could only see them going Rankine if not. They need an out and out mid though so Walsh is the guarantee and easy pick.
If we get Brisbane's pick, that means we land either Lukosius or Rankine which would have me excited. If we're incredibly lucky and the Saints went for the Victorian Smith, we could have both and the dual South Aussies could be the start of a dynasty.
