Pick 81. Hawthorn
Lloyd Meek
It's certainly getting much tougher to find value at this point, there's still a small forward I rate but I think the Hawks need to focus on bolstering their rucks, particularly after the Statue of Vickery embarrassment. As for the best option at this stage, Meek is an overager who has shown a fair bit of improvement over the year. He's certainly more of a threat resting forward and has also improved his groundwork from last year. Whilst not as agile as Pat Ryder, he has shown some ability to avoid oncoming traffic and also managed to nail a monster goal from the centre circle. Named in the TAC team of the year & an All-Star representative Meek is probably the best bet outside of Sam Hayes.

Given we're at the tail end of the draft I'll open it up for anyone to lodge players they like. First in, first serve.
87. The West Coast Eagles selects Jonty Scharenberg (19 years old, 185 cm, 79 kg, On Baller/Half Back, Glenelg). We hope he can put away the disappointment of being overlooked in last years draft and the mental demons of both his older brothers succumbing to knee injuries. Ticks many boxes and we hope working to his strengths will ensure a long career as an inside mid at the Eagles.
The West Coast Eagles also rookies the following players:
Brody Mihocek (24 years old, 192 cm, 97 kg, Key Defender, Port Melbourne), Jonathan Marsh (22 years old, 191 cm, 87 kg, Utility, East Fremantle), Tom Goodwin (26 years old, 201 cm, 105 kg, Ruck, Coburg) , & Dom Barry (23 years old, 183 cm, 76 kg, Wing, Glenelg)

Not sure how many more picks/rookie spots Carlton has but seeing as I was tossing up whether to take this bloke at 73 I'll lock him in here. Kane Farrell has had two years at TAC level with Bendigo, averaging 17 disposals in his bottom-age year and the same again this year, which suggests he's stagnated a little. Nonetheless, he's a midfielder with great pace (2nd in 20m at Combine) and agility (1st) and a long left foot. Worth the punt that he will improve in a professional environment.
I know its not Essendon's pick yet but i think it really doesnt matter at this stage as it becomes left wing selections
* Druggies are in real need of big bodied inside mids and need them ready to go now
Essendon select - Cam Ellis Yolman (Adelaide football club)
190cm 94kgs 23 year old
