The theatre around pick 10 vs 11 vs 12 in this years draft will provide much interest for years to come! Unlike like the Lever - Cocky comparisons, the performance of Gibbs and the Crows overall in the next 4 years adds another dimension to the debate.I see Carlton picking Fogarty at 10 if he still available and this board going into a meltdown!
Oh I am pretty comfortable with the move and see very little (if any) difference between pick 10 and 12 in this draft. I am confident we will pick up at VERY VERY good player at 12. Might even end up being a better player in the long term than those picked in the 6-11 range.The theatre around pick 10 vs 11 vs 12 in this years draft will provide much interest for years to come! Unlike like the Lever - Cocky comparisons, the performance of Gibbs and the Crows overall in the next 4 years adds another dimension to the debate.
Could be a slowly escalating melt if we fail in the next 3-4 years and pick 10 ends of a gun!
But we shouldn't judge too much in hindsight. Right now, I support the move.

Dear resident draft experts
Care to share your top twelve power rankings please? Basically a list of the player you'd take at each pick, up until our actual pick, if we hypothetically had pick 1, pick 2... etc.
Hope this makes sense, and apologies if you've already provided this.
Hately is v good . Just watch him in SA v Allies game . Not bad for a bottom ager , looked like a season veteranI know it's not really 2017 related, but what is the obsession with Jack Hately? Watched a lot of footage of him recently and I really don't see a lot to get excited about. How is he even touted as a first rounder?
Rozee looks the much better prospect.

Pffffttt ...... looking at underage players now is like predicting the 2019 premiers .... a waste of timeHately is v good . Just watch him in SA v Allies game . Not bad for a bottom ager , looked like a season veteran
Losing Mummy is huge .....I reckon GWS have peaked too
Could be wrong though
That’s fine ..... there’ll be superstars from this draft that also didn’t make the AA teamYep seen him live a few times
Couldn't make the All Australian team
Good player nonetheless as most no 2 picks are

Bailey probably the standout there, rate him very highly
But you know that's not rightPffffttt ...... looking at underage players now is like predicting the 2019 premiers .... a waste of time
Players that were raves about this time last year have fallen as others have improved more
To be fair, we could have said the same about Brisbane/Richmond trading into this year’s draftBut you know that's not right
Why are we trading into early picks next year ? Because we watch these kids
Might be a waste of time for you to take notice but doesn't mean for everyone
Yes Jeff, it's a waste of time mate .....trading of early picks is more in acknowledgement of the Drafts strength than a particular player .....there wouldn't be a club that would tie itself to a player this far out, he may not develop .....others may overtake the "stars" of next year as they stand nowBut you know that's not right

Looks like he's no chance for pick 12.I saw Bonar up close and live here at Mars Stadium at his 2nd TAC game back from the knee before his name had even been mentioned anywhere, and I mean ANYWHERE, it was obvious just on one viewing of Aiden he was a very, very, very special talent......See my match review written and posted on here when returning from the game. Some of us do actually watch these kids and have an eye for talent....and with Bonar is stuck out like dog's balls!!
I agree in principal that we watch the kids, but I dont think we traded into 2018 just because we rated 4 or 5 SA individuals in particular.But you know that's not right

And I certainly don't think it's worth locking in their spots and rating their positions eitherI agree in principal that we watch the kids, but I dont think we traded into 2018 just because we rated 4 or 5 SA individuals in particular.
We would have to rate the draft crop as a whole to be invested in next year. I completely agree it is worth watching the kids, but it isn't worth predicting where they may go within ~5 places more than a year from the draft.
Still plenty worth it to track a kid's development. Gives a greater understanding of what the kids can do, although it definitely doesn't impact the draft order as much as the draft year form itself.Pffffttt ...... looking at underage players now is like predicting the 2019 premiers .... a waste of time

That's all very well ......so explain why Lever (who was also followed by recruiters) fell from the top 3-4 ranked to 14th on the back of one Knee Reco .........yet you're saying (and every year there's an over-hyped player) that Bonar on the back of two Knee Reco's & 7 games of footy in two years is rising within the top 10 ???????????????????????????I saw Bonar up close and live here at Mars Stadium at his 2nd TAC game back from the knee before his name had even been mentioned anywhere, and I mean ANYWHERE, it was obvious just on one viewing of Aiden he was a very, very, very special talent......See my match review written and posted on here when returning from the game. Some of us do actually watch these kids and have an eye for talent....and with Bonar it stuck out like dog's balls!! That was way before the ALL Stars Game and there were plenty of recruiters I saw there that day Hamish, SOS, Rendell, Dodoro, Wells to mention some, you do realise the players picked for the ALL Stars game were there because the club recruiters had requested them??
