Tom McCarthy, who nominated for the draft under an 18-month term, is widely expected to be taken by the Eagles with their first selection. McCarthy is considered by recruiters as clear number one pick. “McCarthy then daylight” WCE has gained a second selection with the season ending injury to Waterman. Essendon has 4 selections with no surprise that they are targeting a ruck to assist Goldstein. 1 0 Reply
Fremantle: Sean Darcy and Nat Fyfe both got through training successfully this morning. If they pull up ok tomorrow, they’ll be available for selection – at AFL or WAFL level. Jaeger O’Meara and Michael Walters 2 weeks away. Hayden Young listed as 8-9 weeks. 5 0 Reply
