Has Rayner slipping to us at 3 which is huge. Would we chuffed with any of the top 4. Rayner actually worries me just a little. I know its an unfair comparison by just with x factor players and how Menzel turned out for us. Prefer a more nuts and bolts, meat and potatoes tough mid type as x factor players also have more of a chance to not turn out than those solid mid types. But then again he could be an absolute game breaker. I have absolute faith in SOS and I am more interested in pick 10 where there becomes more variable. The idea of getting Bonar at 10 is giving me a... well its got me excited.

Big difference between Menzel and Rayner is that the latter has midfield craft which Menzel had zero

"#11 Carlton- Troy Menzel (SA – Mid/Fwd)
Height: 187cm, Weight: 77kg, DOB: 22/09/1994
Recruited from: Central District
Style: Steve Johnson
Player comparison:
Range: 2-12
Profile: Troy is the younger brother of Cat Daniel Menzel and is every bit as talented if not more so with greater midfield capabilities but like his brother has similarly had his injury troubles and concerning is that despite his tender age he has had LARS which may/may not concern clubs but knowing how many have had knee injuries post LARS (most frequently to the other knee) I do have injury concerns. On talent Menzel is every bit a top 10 quality prospect and will no doubt get drafted high as a result. Troy has probably played more through the midfield than his brother but as a forward is equally adept and dominant at u18 level. Troy is a highly productive midfielder/forward who stand out because of his awareness and decision making under pressure, is one of those players who is always composed and uses the footy well. Skill level excellent by both hand and foot. Athletically Troy is excellent with his combination of speed, agility and endurance which is very exciting. Even with this athleticism Troy doesn’t rely on it and is a really natural footballer rather than a pure athlete and because of this I see a strong future ahead of him at AFL level. Has also like Daniel showed great ability forward of centre and can hit the scoreboard as he showed during the u18 champs, great finisher around goal and like his brother is an excellent marking target. I suggest this is where he will start his career and with some luck hopefully he can work his way into a midfield rotation."

Troy certainly wasn't seen as having none at the time.

In previous years, by the time we got to the draft, it seemed we kinda knew what the top 8 or 10 picks were going to be.

How good would it be if we got to draft night this year and no one knew what the clubs were thinking? To have complete uncertainty and drama in those early picks would make it so much more interesting.

Changed my mind several times on this.. But going with the fact that LDU will be gone.. Paddy Dow is the one I want..

Would rate in order
Dow
Fogarty
Stephenson
Raynor
Cerra

It absolutely will not surprise me if LDU is there at 3. BRI have been linked to Rayner, and FRE with Cerra. Nothing is a given in my eyes. There are a number of different permutations with the Top 4-5 players.
