Whether that remains a priority at their first pick will depend on who is available, but this group is midfield-heavy and they will have some options. Jy Simpkin's speed and skill would be a good fit for them, and Jordan Gallucci is another who could appeal given his versatility. Springy half-forward Will Hayward is another they might think about. Jarrod Berry is viewed as either a defensive or midfield prospect, depending on who you talk to, while Alex Witheden is an attacking back who would give them something different. There's a slight, slight chance Will Brodie might slip through, too, and Oliver Florent could come under consideration, with a bunch of other good midfielders to be around at their second pick. Adelaide bid last year for GWS forward Harrison Himmelberg, and in the end didn't draft a tall forward instead of him. It will be interesting to see if they again look to add some forward-line depth or whether they have seen enough in McGovern and Dear to push on with what they have. Todd Marshall will be available at 13, but it's hard to see them taking him over others. Patrick Kermay be around later and they could also consider Himmelberg's brother Elliott, who unlike Harrison, isn't tied to the Giants. The Crows have decided against nominating Ben Jarman, Darren's son, as a father-son pick, who will now be in the pool like every other prospect. He could go straight onto their rookie list should he get overlooked in the national and preseason drafts.

The most likely outcome for them at No.3 appears to be Ben Ainsworth, though they could end up with a choice of him and midfielder Hugh McCluggage. Ainsworth would be a perfect fit: he belongs in the top rung on talent, and would fill a glaring need as a super-smart small forward who could also run on the ball. McCluggage would add to an on-ball group that the Lions need to keep growing, and they have three selections at the end of the first round to work with, too. Alex Witherden, Josh Rotham, Jarrod Berry and Jordan Ridley would make sense for them, as rebounding defenders, and so could Declan Watson, a Lions Academy player who could attract a bid in the middle part of the draft. Willem Drew would bring his all, Joe Atley is worth a look and while they are well off for developing forwards Josh Battle and Elliott Himmelberg could be considered. The club may have some big decisions to make on the Academy front, with Jacob Allison likely to be bid on after their first three picks. They should be able to get both if they want them. They will be heavily reliant on Stefan Martin in the ruck and could look to add depth in that area, though no young ruckman they looked to draft could be expected to step in immediately.

Carlton are in a great spot at pick 5. All it takes in that part of the draft is for someone to do something slightly unexpected before then and a very good player will reach them. There is just the slightest chance it could be Hugh McCluggage or Ben Ainsworth, especially should Essendon bid for Will Setterfield and the Giants not match. They could look at a bid for Setterfield or Jack Bowes, though they won't get either, and will have done plenty of work on Sam Petrevski-Seton and Will Brodie, though the latter isn't tipped to end up there. Tim Taranto's a player who would add to both their forward and midfield mix, and he'd have definite appeal. The Blues have also been strongly linked to South Australian forward Will Hayward. Some would consider five a touch high for him but he wouldn't be out of place there. He is quite different to the others they have playing down there and they do need to add some scoring power. The Blues are still turning their list over and have a few things they could do with – another intercept defender, like Jordan Ridley could fit in nicely – and depending on where they see Curnow ending up might look at another key tall. Josh Battle may reach pick 25, and Patrick Kerr and Elliott Himmelberg are others expected to slot in somewhere through the 20s, though there will be plenty of midfield options for them to choose from, too.

It's really hard to imagine the club letting another team take them, though there's a bit of mystery around where the bids will come. The Pies will be hoping to use 28 on someone else, and hopefully their second pick as well. They have roles for Brown and Daicos to grow into. Brown is a run-himself-ragged onballer and Daicos a smart and sharp small forward who'll need to increase his work-rate. Brown sits in the second group of onballers, meaning a bid could come in the 30s or 40s. Daicos could get a lot further down, though he does have some elite traits one club might have taken a real shine to so it's harder to predict where he might fall. The Pies have a clear lack of depth in their key defensive stocks and could look at someone like Jack Maibaum or Brennan Cox. Jordan Ridley isn't as big as those two, but has some versatility to his game that Collingwood might like, while Ryan Garthwaite is a competitive player who should be available late in the draft and Mitch McCarthy could be looked at as a tall defender/ruck prospect. A tall forward would be handy, too, but just like key backmen, clubs don't like to overspend to get one. While both Daicos and Brown could start out in the forward line, they could also look for a genuine crumber. Kym LeBois and Tyson Stengle are two who might appeal.

RUCKS: Matthew Leuenberger, Tom Bellchambers. It seems down to three for pick 1, with Andy McGrath, Hugh McCluggage and Will Setterfield on the Bombers' mind. Plenty of bluffing goes on at this time of year but they would have to bid for Setterfield – the taller of the three and one whose year didn't run quite as smoothly due to injury – knowing there is a genuine chance that GWS might not match it. And that if the Giants did, they won't have a No.1 pick to show off to the world. McGrath is far more than the "safe" option some make him out to be, he is dynamic and would add to both the midfield and half-back line, where the loss of Michael Hibberd will be felt. On the other hand, McCluggage has class, creates space and kicks goals from the midfield. Should the Bombers look elsewhere for defensive rebound, GWS Academy player Isaac Cummings could be worth a bid, with Jordan Ridley another option. There will be a plethora of midfield options available at their later selections and it will be interesting to see whether Todd Marshall reaches pick 20 or they use it to look at adding someone like Josh Battle or Elliott Himmelberg to their forward line, which clearly needs more options. Josh Green has signed on as a delisted free agent and Yestin Eades will come back as a rookie, but a really speedy crumber would be handy. South Australian pair Kym LeBois and Tyson Stengle are both late options. And while Shaun McKernan will be re-rookied, they might need to start on a young ruckman.
