        Spot on (hopefully..).

        Wouldn't be surprised if we pick up a classy or game breaking midfielder in the 1st Rnd.

          With Pick One Carlton as expected for the last 18 months take Bryce Gibbs a 187cm midfielder from Glenelg in SA.

          With Pick Two Essendon take Scott Gumbleton a 195cm Forward from Peel in WA.

          With Pick Three North take Lachlan Hansen a 195cm Tall Defender from Gippsland Power in Vic.

                      From MATT BURGAN'S PHANTOM DRAFT:
                      The draft is varied. Opinions differ considerably on certain players and although the depth appears to be strong, there is very much a 'beauty in the eye of the beholder' scenario among many of these players. In many respects, O'Keefe fits this mould. Highly-rated by many AFL recruiters - some believe he could be a first-round draftee - he is also seen as a third-round selection. It would not surprise if Sydney (No.15), Hawthorn (No.24 or No.33) or Geelong (No.25) snapped him up, yet in this meeting, the top 40 stacks up strongly and not everyone can fill the same position. O'Keefe could genuinely slot in anywhere in the first three rounds and the Kangaroos will be delighted if they can jag him in this section of the draft, which is not out of the realms of possibility.

                      Highlights/achievements: Prolific possession winner with very good evasive skills, strong overhead for his size and smart around goals. Uses ball very well and good in traffic. Vic Country U18 representative this year. Played 16 games for the Falcons this year averaging 22 disposals and kicking 32 goals. From Warrnambool FC.

                          On the right click "draft tracker", it opened for me in a new window.

                          *edit* it's under the big NAB logo on the right on the page that opens when you click "draft tracker/ live audio"
