A number of big names have already been thrown into the trade mix and the Power, who boast one of the youngest lists in the competition, are poised to pounce.
Towards the end of the season, Williams flagged his interest in luring players from other clubs to Alberton and he maintained that focus hadn’t changed, despite the wealth of talent in this year’s draft pool.
“We’ll talk to the board and the people in charge to see what their view is and we’ll make some choices consistent with the way our club is going,” Williams said on Thursday.
“But there’s no doubt that, come next Monday, we’ll be putting picks four and 22 on the table and we’ll see what comes back as being available.”
This year’s NAB AFL Draft appears wide open with AFL National Talent Manager Kevin Sheehan suggesting as many as 32 players could be worthy of top 16 selection.
Impressive tall trio Jack Watts, Nick Naitanui and Tyrone Vickery are expected to feature in the top few picks, as is West Australian midfielder Daniel Rich, but just who will slip through to the Power’s first pick at number four remains unclear.
