He's back on, so it sounds like he just rattled a nerve.

Here come Oakleigh
He's not the most natural action, but he's well above average for getting the ball where it needs to be. I linked a clip from last week's final to show what he can do.
If he's there at #3, we shouldn't hesitate.

Both of you can watch more footage, instead of picking one game and using it as a body evidence.

I liked Andrew Brayshaw at the Champs. I thought he was the cleanest ball handler and a neat kick but maybe a tad one paced.
He has been the cleanest ball handler again today from both games imo. Clean, smart and knuckled down when the heat was on. Will be rising on my list.

This is why I would not mind finishing last next year.
One paced? The kid is quick from what I've seen.
Lukosius spanks his 4th......from a lazy 55 out.

He's quicker than his brother.
Good burst speed that will hold him in good stead.

For one player?
Let's give reasons for others to move on, for one player?
That's a terrible notion.

Lone hand up forward it would seem
Short game is really poor, misses way too many targets for my liking.
Not in the top 5 for me
Many things can change, but a clear number 1 for next year IMO. N. Riewoldt clone and best KPF I have seen since that draft

Have people read the question in the poll as 'who do you want?' rather than 'who are we likely to get?' ?
Yes, it is highly likely we'll finish in the bottom 4 teams next year. I'd love first crack with pick 1.
If I had to take the question literally, I wouldn't bother replying.

As a 17 year old?
If we finish last in 2018, our club is in a s**t load of strife as is Brendan Bolton.
Despite winning one less game this season than last season, our performances were more consistent over this season, even after many had predicted a bottom of the ladder finish for us.
Any backward step next season would indicate that our rebuild/reset has failed & would destroy any thoughts of becoming a destination club any time soon.
Watching the WAFL prelim today got me thinking about Liam Ryan. I know there were massive concerns about his running capabilities last year but after the year he has just had he would have to be a certainty to be drafted this year. His talent is undeniable.
Interested in the views of our avid draft watchers like Arr0w LemmingMaster The Smoking Gun or anyone else who follows the draft of where he is likely to fall? Also Kelly from South Freo?

No other multiple goal scorers when I checked, but you'd have to ask Stig O'Hara how he really fared.
I know you're a big Bonar fan Jimmae, but I've seen precious little over the last 2 weeks that would make me want to draft him with any pick.
The kid I really liked in this game was Bailey Williams for next year. Pity the coaching staff ran him into the ground in the first half.
Yes he is one-paced......bloody quick!!!
You will get a "Jet" next year with any of the first 6-8 picks. Of all the people on this board you know that.
Yes, but he's not fit yet is he??? The thing I do like about him is that he incrementally continues to improve every week. Had big 3rd Qtr last week and a huge 3rd Qtr this week that brought the Chargers storming back into the game. Considering where he's coming back from with no fitness base, to average 25-30 disposals at around 75-80% efficiency is outstanding. Having said that, I think clubs will still be cautious when estimating his potential upside, which is why I think he'll be taken at a later pick.....in Navy Blue I hope.

I think it was inevitable that Bonar faded given his likely fitness levels, and I'm hoping that means he's still in a draft range that we can trade into easily. That said, there's still the combine, and he might test highly and raise his stocks again, who knows.
Bailey Williams' high intensity work was impressive, but when the best option was to jog to position, he didn't seem to have the lower body strength to maintain a smooth stride to make it easier on his body to do so. He needs a lot of conditioning work and running training, or he'll fizzle out pretty quickly if he makes it to AFL level.
