I think Freo has won the Mid Season draft. Check out the highlights for Sebit Kuek on Freo's AFL website.

Always got to laugh at the Winner/Loser articles that appear, within minutes it seems, of trade periods and drafts being completed.
A look at the scribes winners and losers a few years down the track would show a different picture.
The great Dodoro, always a trade week/fortnight winner might look a whole lot less great a few years after his winning was proclaimed!
We are never winners because we don't get the hyped high picks but instead quietly go about turning mid/late picks and rookies into gems.
In my own backyard, Crows were declared winners five years ago getting draft steal Darcy Fogarty at a measly pick 12 and what about the great pick 9/pick 14 pair of Chase Jones and Ned McHenry four years back or pick 6 on Fischer McAsey? I quietly chuckle about the Crows "winning" drafts.
In my opinion a defender would have been a priority but from what I have read the number of quality options available was limited.
Hugo is a good pick for us with plenty of upside given how little football he has played over the last few years. As someone said almost a free hit for us.
Interesting that some of the reviews of him mentioned that he has some potential as an attacking defender and I wonder if this is a possible option for us in drafting him ?
We have had some success previously in turning forwards into defenders 😀
Shout out to Heath, Ted and now Paddy as examples.
