Fair enough, never knew that. However it is good to read positives instead of being bombarded by negatives from external sources, aka Mr Negative himself....D.BarrettOK. So, how should I put this, ahhh....Paige thinks everyone is going to become a star
She's like an excitable chihuahua when it comes to draft time, so take her mocks with a very large grain of salt (like all mocks I suppose)

I'll be very happy if she is as spot on with how she rates Hipwood as she was with Andrews. Have to give her credit for that.
Yes. She 100% was with Andrews

To be fair to Paige, she had Andrews a lot higher than anyone else did last year IIRC and was pretty much on the money with her evaluation. I think there is a temptation for draft watchers to over enthuse, but I think Paige deserves a little more credit than you're giving her.

Hey guys, just been mentioned on our board that we could be in the mix to trade up with Carlton to pick #2.
If any of you have any inside knowledge, what player do you feel that the lions prefer going into the draft at this stage to be #1?

Schache is the general consensus as he is the perfect fit for our team. Weitering probably a better player but Pickering managers him and he bends us over the barrel every year.

Thanks mate, it seems like schache would be the logical choice then. He set the record for most goals at the carnival so it's exactly what you guys need. Huge tank too
5 picks in top 20 potentially. Looks like we can add a variety to out stocks this year and get some much needed 1st round talent.

Those picks help with Keays and Hipwood and whatever trades we do
Not really that concerned with Luey or Adcock leaving. Aish is more annoying because we spent pick 5 on him. Redden I like a lot but honestly he can be replaced

Based entirely on his performances at U18 and NEAFL level, Keays could well be an upgrade on Redden, although of course not in experience terms. Probably similar disposal skills but gets the ball more often and can only get better you would think.
Must have pick 5 on the brain with all the Beams trade crap I have to read in almost all of Brisbane related threads.
More dangerous forward of centre as well. Some on the Draft board say he is Beams 2.0. Doubt he will get to Beams level but good comparison I think.

Any chance we would look at Uebergang as a rookie selection given his improved performances in defence this year?

Has the academy selection system changed for the upcoming draft or can we still get Schache and Keays with little trouble?

They'll both be Lions next year.

After all the mess we are going through, the last thing we'll do is turn our backs on QLD talent.
Keays and Hipwood will be with us, as well as Schache at #1.

Well at least he has a good role model as the club if that is his goal!
So according to Schwabby, we will be taking Keays and Hipwood this year. Mentioned one other who performed well in the 18s but didn't name him....

Completely guessing, but I suspect it's William. He was named in the bests for all three div 2 games.
