Schache has an injured toe which will limit his performances at the combine.
obviously meaning he will slip down to pick 21

Must admit, Mathieson coming in at 8th in the kicking test surprised me a bit. It's something he has been working on all year as it was his biggest deficiency.

Nice to see Hipwood well up there in the goal kicking.
I think long term he will settle into defence but you never know.
Geez every time I see Hipwoods profile it screams third tall forward/pinch ruck duty.
I know there are plenty on here that know more than me but his potential is intriguing

No, I agree with you and see him as being someone like a David Hale type he has shown to have a bit of toe and agility for a big fella which would help with playing in the forward line and around the ground.

Confident Schache finishes in the top 3-4 if he tests in the goalkicking.
Good to see Hipwood do well.
Also Clayton Oliver is someone who is definitely on the radar from my point of view if we end up with an extra 2nd rounder or two through the trade period. Worries over his endurance but i think he's a true footballer and can have a lot of improvement in his fitness.
I know in all likelihood we'll take Schache at pick 2 as he's the key forward we need (and long overdue), but love the look of Aaron Francis. Should he develop an inside game, injuries permitting, he can be one of the best players in the competition.

Yes. If only we got that priority pick! I feel of the higher rated players he's the one that's really hard to get a read on where he could end up. Wouldn't surprise me if he slides and gets taken closer to pick 10 than 2. Would be a steal if he goes outside the first 5 IMO.
Rocky also has issues with fitness but is a true footballer - would happily take Oliver. Plus he has talent, is a Lions fan and is good friends with Schache so they would help each other settle in (much like Taylor and Gardner have helped one another)

I don't think we should get our hopes up of taking any players before 30. I think all our picks will be taken by our 2 highly rated academy kids.

Lose Aish, Redden and Leuenberger and end up with picks 17, 21 and 26 in addition to already having pick 23 and we could have 2 picks between 25 and 35 depending on when Keays and Hipwood get a bid.

Getting Bell in will cost us a pick and I don't see us accepting 2nd round picks for Aish.

If we rate the draft we could have picks in that range though and possibly top up with Astbury, Jansen and Whitecross with later picks or the PSD.
