Ok just my thoughts on watching 3 matches on Sunday.

First match Bendigo vrs Gippsland,,l only watched the last 3 quarters ,,,,

I am probably only going to mention player's l think the Tigers need.

Tobie Travaglia is around 188cm ,he is a bit of a dasher from the back line ,he is good over head and can get the hard ball,,l think he is a Wing man ,kicking is in different ,but with more composure easily improved .

Our NGA Zayden Lockwood was quite good ,,he is very Athletic and good in the air,IF he can build up like 10 kg plus ,and not lose a lot of that athletic ability he might make a player.
His endeavour is good and has good pace and has a good reach ,his slight build is the problem ,would make a good project player,and used as a back man .
James Barrat a 193cm forward looked good ,missed a few shots at goal,could of had a decent day had he been accurate ,a late 18year old

Gippsland .

Xavier Lindsay looked good ,uses the ball well,probably not what the tigers need another hb type,but he looks alright.
Max Donohue a 180cm mid Links up really well and just keeps running,can do the hard stuff, as well.
Honorable mentions to bottom agers Willem Duursma and Brodie Atkins who's a 181cm mid type ,very hard at it.

Geelong Vrs Murray.

Geelong had 2 top agers play really well,Bif Joe Pike again played well,for a 203 ruck je is quite agile and gets around the ground well,still would like to see him at VFL level.
Will McLachlan a 186cm top ager dominated up forward good mark good reader of the play ,and good set shot,but another who l would like to see at Vfl level

Lachie Jacques a 184 cm hb/Mid,was very good uses the ball really well,good composure.
Xavier Ivisic a 180cm mid/hf was really good,linked up well,did a lot of hard stuff,good over head and uses it well.

Well drilled side the Falcons.

Murray.
The Whitlock Bros, Jack Whitlock a 200cm key forward Quite agile for his height ,good kick and a decent mark,needs to build up more.
Im not entirely sold on him ,but he will be on a Afl list next year ,He was best for Murray
Matt Whitlock a 197cm key back ,,like his brother he is very agile,and is good in the air ,lacks composure and makes mistakes he shouldn't ,but does have ability .

Rebels vrs Dandenong .

Rebels,,they have 15 player's out injured from there main group.

Jack O Ough a 194 cm forward/wing,,very versatile played well as a wingman with stints up forward ,quite athletic looks a prospect a late 18 year old .
Reggie Mast a 189cm Mid.forward ,,has a great leap and is very hard at it ,reminds me a bit of Townsend the way he plays.

Harley Hicks a 179cm indigenous bottom age looks very promising ,he did well up forward .

Dandenong .
Cooper Hynes a 190cm mid was bog in this game ,really stood out ,he seemed to be everywhere,good in the clearances ,strong marking and hard at it ,depending on what happens at the champs ,must be in contention for first round .

Harvey Langford a 190mid/forward ,another big bodied mid who dominated ,another who's good over head wins the clearances ,looks a decent type as well
Agree with SCOOP on Noah Mraz a 198cm key back looks a very likely type ,very agile,and uses the ball well.has a bit of smarts about him .

I left out a few player's mainly flankers or very outside types out of these games,but repeating myself again,the Champs will sort it all out a lot more,although Vic Country will have quite a few big bodied mids to select from .

Does anyone know who the most promising KPFs in this draft year are?

Well, if you're prepared to go back through the pages here in this thread I think you will find most of them listed in one form or another with match reports and how they performed in game.

I'm sure someone will list them all for you but it's much more enjoyable to read the reports from the scouts who go and watch the games. That way they're more than just a name.

Haven't seen much to get excited about from that bunch, yet.

I'm going to make an early call and say I think Smillie will be a bust.

Key forwards in CTL for some reason don’t get to dominate like mids. A 2 goal game is solid, 3 excellent, 4 + awesome. Aside from Sandy Dragons I haven’t seen a forward line that isn’t completely congested with 4-5 guys flying for a pack mark.
I did see Scoops boy Charlie Richardson take 2 really good F50 marks and convert v Tassie last weekend. He found a fraction of space and used it.
