Selections before academy and father/son bidding: 13, 21, 26, 32, 37, 69, 83
Selections after bidding: 13, 21, 26, 32, 38, 68 
Who they picked: Jarrod Brander, Oscar Allen, Liam Ryan, Brayden Ainsworth, Jack Petruccelle, Hamish Brayshaw

Verdict: The Eagles may have landed the best tall defender and best tall forward in the Draft. Brander is a terrific player, with the ability to also play forward if needed. Allen won the Larke Medal for WA and gets to stay home to play in front of his family. The Eagles pounced on Ryan, a supremely gifted small forward, with their 26th pick. Few boast the highlight reel of the Subiaco product. Ainsworth is a consistent ball winner through the midfield who was one of WA's standout players in the Championships. Petruccelle is raw but one of the quickest players (he ran 2.87 seconds in the 20m sprint at the Combine) in the pool. The Eagles also took Hamish Brayshaw, the older brother of pick No.2 overall selection Andrew, who wound up at Fremantle, after he missed selection in last year's draft. With the Eagles making a number of list moves at the end of last season, the players they selected in this year's draft suggest they are prepared to patiently build their squad for the future.
