I still rate LDU number 1. Rayner at 2 and Dow at 3 then Cerra Stephenson Coffield. Be happy with any of them but want LDU

With 7 & 8 we would get 2 of Stephenson Coffield Clark Higgins Brander

Yes pretty well my line up also . If we had if nabbed Rockcliff I would have been inclined to take Stephenson . I think LDU will be gone at 1, so it'll be Rayner or Dow

Controversial opinion. I don't like Dow as a top 3 pick. Disposal seems wonky.

Yes, only because he is always at top pace and under pressure, when he gets out is space it is fine. It's a bit like Dangerfield and Cotchin who both have a tendency to bomb the ball in those circumstances. I think there is enough upside in his speed and hardness to justify pick 3

I guess what I am saying is that it reminds me of Robbo.

Bang it on the boot or go until you get stopped then just get space.

I much prefer Cerra or LDU standing in the tackle and handballing to advantage

Thats if we trade trade pick 3

If we go in woth pick 3 and Raynor and LDU or gone, who did you think SOS and co will select ? Dow would be my pick but reckon it will be a selection to compliment Cripps, Kennedy and Curnow

Kennedy and Cripps will be our 2 main contested midfielders. They don't have much pace. Dows pace out of the contest could be very handy with Cripps/Kennedy feeding the ball out.

I see Moore won the yo-yo test. I like this guy but we don't have a second rounder around the mark where he would be taken.
