AND THE REST...
Western Bulldogs: If the players are listed above go, that would bring Riley Bonner and Alex Morgan into the frame. They'll grab Collins if available, and look at another key back in Sam Skinner. The Dogs are a very strong chance to bid for Sydney father-son nominee Josh Dunkley. If that happens, they could well get him, as the Swans could opt not to match. Midfielder Fiorini is another possibility.
Fremantle: Gresham and Cuningham are big chances here. Ben McKay, a tall defender or forward, is perhaps a bigger one. The Dockers seem likely to bid on Himmelberg if the Roos decide not to. Like Essendon, Sydney and St Kilda they've done lots of work on former Cat Mitch Brown.
West Coast: The Eagles will likely end up with a midfield type. Cole, Morgan and Ryan Clarke are all around the mark, as are Mason Redman and either Gresham or Cuningham, if one gets through.
Collingwood: Redman, Fiorini, Morgan and Brandon White are all possibilities here. The Pies could do with some run. West Australian Declan Mountford is another to consider.
Geelong: It's very hard to tip who'll be there when Geelong starts picking late. The Cats will sit back and wait for the sliders. Tasmanians Kieran Lovell (midfielder) and Ryan Garder (defender) may make it to them.
Port Adelaide: Aidyn Johnson's run and carry puts him in the mix for the Power's first pick at 32, as does Brandon White's pace and attack on the ball.
