Pick 443 - Ben McKinley

RLL's Logic: Key forward eligible. That's about the only reason he got picked up. Showed a bit at West Coast so hopefully he'll be able to step up. Playing that third forward role should suit him.

Fantasy Freako: Traded for pick 86 in the draft. Well worth it I reckon. He was a gun as a kid.

Others considered: Tadgh Kennelly, Max Bailey

Pick 454 - Jordan Roughead

RLL's Logic: The man I don't even remember picking. Was hammered drunk, but wasn't the worst selection anyway. Handy ruckman who has shown a lot behind Hudson.

Fantasy Freako: If Hudson goes down, make sure you pounce! He looks a player of the future.

Others considered: Considered getting another beer, but took him instead.

Pick 471 - Jack Steven

RLL's Logic: The barrel is getting fairly empty, so picking players of the future is a must in these late stages. Hopefully he will continue to learn and eventually develop into a full time midfielder rather than a flanker.

Fantasy Freako: Rossy will continue to give him a go, but he is not what we are looking for in fantasyland.

Others considered: Pearce Hanley

Pick 482 - Pearce Hanley

RLL's Logic: Considered grabbing him last pick, so the fact he's still around made him an easy selection. The Celtics finally have their Irish flavour, and he'll be the poster boy to the Emerald Isle. Oh yeah, he plays footy too.

Fantasy Freako: I like the way he goes about it, but it would be a gutsy selection in fantasyland.

Pick 499 - Myke Cook

RLL's Logic: Actually considered him a few picks ago, but then forgot about him so happy to get him inside the top 500. With Adelaide going through the generational change, he will be given every opportunity to succeed.

Fantasy Freako: Will be part of the Crows new midfield structure. Keep him in mind.

Others considered: Jarrad Irons, Matt Spangher

Pick 510 - Taylor Hine

RLL's Logic: Well they've gotta put 22 blokes on the park each week, so he has a shot. Played 14 games for them last season in the VFL, so has a chance to step up in the big league.

Fantasy Freako: If he becomes a regular, he could be a handy back-up defender.

Pick 527 - Ben Newton

RLL's Logic: Would be a starter for round one if it wasn't for injury. Left footed midfielder who went at 35 in the 2010 Draft. Will be given the time to improve, but should get a few games along the way this season.

Fantasy Freako: May need more time.

Others considered: Hasn't gone yet.

Pick 538 - Ben Warren

RLL's Logic: This late in the draft it's all kind of guess work, but I think Warren has a chance to develop as a small forward. Needs to add more forward pressure if he wants to make it.

Fantasy Freako:

Others considered: Stefan Martin

Pick 555 - Chris Schmidt

RLL's Logic: Played half decent for a little while. Who knows if he'll do it again, but at least he has the experience so should be considered should injuries hit.

Pick 566 - Jacob Gilbee

RLL's Logic: Gold Coast have gotta play someone, so why not Gillbee? Should play around ten games this season (hopefully) so will be interesting to see how he goes.
