Disappointed so far. Hopefully we can get a Jack with our last pick.

Knightmare rated Long and Battle as pick 26 and 27 in his phantom draft respectively.

Callum Twomey had Battle at pick 26 in his phantom draft.

I also thought we may have got a Battler at pick 25 (was 23 before today) but we got him at 39 (was 36 before today).

Our pick 61 has moved in to 55
