From video highlights only, Bonner, Tucker, Ah Chee and Oliver look most impressive for mine. Bonner looks super clean and top quality on both left and right.

How does a bloke play footy for 10 years and still have a ball-drop that awkward? Sure, he hits targets in his highlights package. Who doesnt? But it's a technique that tends to fall apart under pressure.
I'm not usually one for the juniors but have had a bit of a look.
In terms of those that could make an impact over the next 2-3 years when our window is open, Ah Chee looks the pick to me.
Jeff Garlett/Cyril Rioli type. Clean skills, good overhead mark with a bit of X. Fills a much needed gap in our list.

I just wish draft day will come and go already. It always seems that way wherever our first pick is, that there is always a gut wrenching choice between a couple of standouts. I kind of wish we had a policy that no-matter where our first pick is that we try and trade to get another pick near it (envious for example that Hawthorn have two first rounders so close together), to avoid the conundrum and frustration.
The consensus seems to be between Ah Chee and Oliver, from what I read I kind of favour the former (he sounds to me to be a young Harley Bennell type without the baggage). Personally if it really is between the two I hope come draft day that only one of them is left on the table when our pick comes. We could then say we were always going to pick him and then everyone will be happy. No what ifs or could haves or should haves. Again can't wait until it's all done and dusted.
Why is Hopper tied up to GWS? Grown up in Leeton, boarded at St Pats and played 2 years TAC with the Rebels. I can understand Academy picks where the club have invested in developing kids that may otherwise not played AFL, but surely the Riverina is a long established footy area where the kids should simply enter the draft.
The AFL is seriously flawed.

Lived in Leeton for a while. Can tell you that it is very much a rugby town. Since the academy there has been AFL level footballers come from there (including Townsend who we have signed). Hard to think of any before the academy so I can understand the AFL's thinking in this case.
No doubt Leeton and Griffith favour rugby, but the riverina league is a strong league who have produced its fair share of AFL stars and you don't have to travel far to places like Jerilderie where AFL becomes the dominant form of footy. I can understand GWS and Sydney having a big impact on places like Coffs Harbour or Bathurst, but Leeton is a stretch.Letsroar said:
Riverina is the crossover point between Rugby, Union and AFL.
The Aussie Rules played at Leeton is a good standard as is Griffith ( both part of the Riverina League ) There is no reason to give GWS a free swing as the players
live closer to Melbourne than Sydney and as if GWS hasn't received enough already.

Yes and No. There's a feel good factor for the NSW based teams if they can say "NSW born and bred" when they have these kids on their list.
I don't mind the NSW and QLD based teams having first swing at their home grown state players. It's all part of making the game a truly national comp.

Liked Ah Chee highlights, is very small at 71 kg
Not sure it will be Dimmas style for first round pick
Think they will go for a solid midfielder
