From the AFL site: Top draft prospects - midfielders
Maybe four of the above players go before him in the draft, but Brad Ebert may become the biggest star of the lot. Not tied to any specific position on the field, he is a footballer who can impose himself on a game, and if Essendon want the closest thing to Hird then they want Ebert. Morton and Cotchin are expected to go in the top 4, while one or both of Palmer and Masten might stay in their home state.
