Opinion 2017 Draft Discussion - Pick 3 - Poll added

[Pafloyul]

I think he might be gone by then, but I hope not

Why a fifth or a sixth? If we rate him higher and he's there at our selection, we take him.

 

[TheHeatleyStand]

So you're saying threshold is 1 point difference? Any more than that and they take Rayner.

I didn't talk points
You did

 

[Blue_Fusion]

I didn't talk points
You did

The word points appears in your post so yes you did.

It's just a way of representing where they could be rating them and how close their rating needs to be to take the less fancied player.

 

[Space Cadet]

Watched Rayner's highlights for the first time.

Would not be upset in the slightest if we miss out on Kelly for this kid.

 

[LanceRomance]

I'll raise you a Bonar.

Does he come with Cynthia plaster caster?

 

[G-TRAIN07]

Any idea who sos and brodie are leaning towards pick 3 wise at the draft...

Actually I didn't
I said points like those don't exist the way you set them out

Josh Kelly

Word is that Rayner is drifting outside the top 4 and that we could be interested in Cerra or Constable

IMO, a fair bit will depend how Rayner tests at the combine

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

Josh Kelly

If Kelly is still a chance to come to us, then you absolutely give up pick 3 for him over anything in the draft.

Problem is that the GWS would ask for more than just #3 for him .....

 

[Quazza]

watched a fair few vids last night of the guys around our pick

if we can't get Kelly, gimme Rayner please

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

Sure I would suggest so as well. Just meant that pick 3 should be a given if Kelly is still a chance to get to us. IMO, Kelly is worth more than anything that pick 3 could net us in the draft at this point of the rebuild.

 

[TerryWallet]

Of course!!! The thought of actually having to go to the draft and develop our own stars scares the shit out of a lot of people. Maybe, just maybe, they might wake up and have to contemplate the stark reality that SOS will take Pick 3 to the draft. He was always going to take our first Pick to the draft.

Agree. Very happy to take as many picks as we can accumulate to the draft for the next 2 years. The list build is real. The list build is solid. It has solid foundation. It has breadth. It will get more breadth. It has pointy ends. It will hopefully get a couple more pointy enders.

LoGo , Trigg, McKay, SOS, Bolton formulated a correct plan. They have enacted that plan so far. Everything they say , and act out, indicates they will see the plan through.

We are building it....competantly....and patiently....and correctly....predominantly thru the draft.

 

[mediumsizered]

I said it at the beginning of this thread. I've said it a couple times since. Higgins is a gun. Love him, if we do get melbournes pick via Adelaide I really hope we scoop him up.

I think a good finals series could see Higgins knocking on the door of (if not entering) the Top 5 picks.

 

[Blue_Fusion]

Actually I didn't
I said points like those don't exist the way you set them out

Here's what you said:

There's never 2 points difference out of ten on two players they're considering and nothing else

Sounds NOTHING like "points like those don't exist the way you set them out"

I don't care if the points don't exist the way I set out, I used that as an example of how they may rate Rayner vs Dow.

 

[The Smoking Gun]

Either way, the chances of him ending up at the Blues is slim:

• If his endurance testing is average or better and he interviews OK then he'll be off to QLD.
• If his endurance testing is poor then SOS will look elsewhere. Agree with Jimmae here.

Still think Cerra is the one, followed by Dow and then Brayshaw. I actually rate Constable ahead of the latter two, but think we'd look a little one-paced with him and Cripps.

............and then LDU absolutely creams it at the Allstars Game resulting in the tensile strength of everyones pants to be tested while we all revise our assessments en masse.

Cerra lacks pace. If we're going for a mid then Dow may be the best option.

If Rayner is available at pick #3 I have no doubt we'll take him.

I would be insanely upset, Kelly is an out and out gun and it is a known what he can do at AFL level. You take that every day of the week and twice on Sundays.

 

[The Smoking Gun]

He's certainly around Top 10 material MSR. One of the few genuine mids who can play as a quality forward when not on ball. Has always managed to lift his standard to the next level whenever critics (me included) question his virtues.

 

[Benaly28]

Where would worpel fit in,15-25?

 

[Arr0w]

This week's TAC CUP Stats, from some of the kids that have been spoken about, with some additions of kids that did well in certain areas

Some of the fancied prospects missing, Dow, Cerra, Rayner, LDU

Both the Brayshaw boys played well

As per last week, can supply full results, if interested

 

[Arr0w]

Where would worpel fit in,15-25?

Closer to 25

And Rayner has 3-4 weeks of no footy matches.

Needs to be putting in the running sessions in this time, if not his running testing won't be good.

• He injures his shoulder and cannot do the endurance testing at draft camp
