With <strong>Ash Centra <\/strong>Collingwood bound and <strong>Havana Harris<\/strong> tied to the Gold Coast Suns, it appears the race has come down to three. West Australian duo <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"86932\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/zippy-fish\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zippy Fish<\/a> and <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"101465\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/molly-ohehir\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Molly O&#8217;Hehir<\/a> provide great speed and skill across the ground, with Fish an explosive midfielder, while O&#8217;Hehir can play on all three lines but will likely roll off half-back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Melbourne looms large to likely take one of them, with South Australian <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"85616\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/india-rasheed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">India Rasheed<\/a> the other choice in the mix. The Sturt prospect provides a high impact-per-possession in the front half of the ground and will add X-Factor to the side. It will come down to what Melbourne does, but essentially the Giants can fill a hole with some serious excitement no matter who they choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>REMAINING CROP:<\/strong><br><em>Picks 21, 52, 65<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As it stands, the Giants can only select one additional player, though there is still time for further list changes prior to Monday night&#8217;s AFLW Draft. At Pick 21, the Giants have to decide if they will go for a local Academy member or not, with the pick perhaps higher than where a bid would come in. They are not too far behind though, with all three of <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"126407\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/ashley-patton\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ash Patton<\/a>, <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"131768\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/amelie-prosser-shaw\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amelie Prosser-Shaw<\/a> and <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"100367\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/ellie-hall\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ellie Hall<\/a> in the 25-40 bracket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is still a chance they look outside their own Academy, with the Giants being in a good spot to fill a need. Oakleigh Chargers midfielder <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"97450\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/sarah-poustie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sarah Poustie<\/a> would be around that mark and will add to the midfield depth at the club, while key position trio <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"101832\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/georgie-brisbane\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Georgie Brisbane<\/a>, <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"100468\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/grace-belloni\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Grace Belloni<\/a> and <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"128365\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/claire-mahony\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Claire Mahony<\/a> are also a chance to be thereabouts.
