I'm curious to see how we go. We have a chance to pick a top talent with pick 4 but then we don't pick again until pick 58, so that first pick has to be spot on. I think by then very likely that Harris (GCS via academy), Contra (Coll), O’Hehir (Melb) and Fish (GWS) are already off the table. If somehow one of Contra, O’Hehir and Fish are still available though, that might cause a rethink in the Swans camp. I'm guessing McDonald or Rasheed for the Swans' pick 4.

Then we wait and see if we end up with any of the Academy kids. Juneja I remember from some academy games, but if a bid comes in the 20-40 range then we cannot match.

**Official picks:**

5 - Zipporah Fish (East Freo)

56 - Amelia Martin (Swans Academy)

59 - Caitlin Reid (Geelong VFLW)

61 - Sarah Steele-Park (North Adelaide)
