GC are definitely looking at a strong list after the draft, but will need to have GAJ and Swallow hold down the midfield next year because I don't think they can rely on 1st year players to carry the load. If they can retain Swallow, they should be a team on the move in '18.
Cal Twomey mentioned Olango on Road to the Draft as perhaps the 2nd best ruckman in the draft. It will probably be English, then a long gap before the next ruckman is taken, which could be us. It's always possible that Beatson has some big country kid hidden away that he has in mind for the rookie list.
Another longshot from WA is Sudanese player Ajang Ajang. I wonder what Brian Taylor would make of Aliir Aliir and Ajang Ajang on the same team. It will probably spell the end of his career as a broadcaster. Maybe we should have tried to get Majak Daw and corner the market. Then we could have Tony Olango and Daw singing their new hit single Ajang Ajang. (I can see now that I'm really going to miss Tom Derickx).
