Hobbs and Sonsie with the 1st 2 would be a great outcome for us.
Yeah, I'm warming to this outcome as well. I'm still keen on JVR and NVM but I think they'll be gone. And I think Sonise is on par with the others as well. It's not a drop-off in talent but just personal taste.

I think that a Hobbs/Sonsie combo is fine but I'd like to add a bit of variety in there. This is probably the point where you might even entertain bundling the twenties picks & grabbing one of those two.

The delistings probably mean we are going to use all of 7, 15, 26, 28 38 and 40 unless we pick up a delisted free agent. Great to see us use our full hand.

The club can really set itself up with those picks and having 38 & 40 in play means we can start looking at positions beyond the midfield, I'd definitely prioritise a key defender. What's the deal with Leek Alleer? Is he definitely going to the Crows?

I know there was a list on our NGA academy kids, are any of them likely to be picked in the draft?
We were being accused by other clubs of playing funny buggers with one of them over the course of the year. I think it was Moore but don’t take that as certain.

Nyawi Moore is available to Essendon under father son also, haven't hear his name in dispatches so no idea if he is likely to get drafted?

A 183cm midfielder-forward, Moore is the son of former 145-game Essendon player Nathan Lovett-Murray. Moore is eligible to be a father-son for the Bombers but is also linked to Richmond's Next Generation Academy.

Knightmare from ESPN had Alleer in the top 10 of his power rankings.

That is the reason why he is still doing his power rankings and not working for a club.

Brett Anderson, Emma Quayle and our own Weaver all made the transition from amateur to professional.

Knightmare has no idea.

I'd say Weaver has no idea, his rating of Jack was laughable. Same with Knightmare, who kept claiming Reid was the better pick, 400 goals into Jack's career. Don't mind Emma Quayle, generally spot on with her assessments.
