Hey briz, I just had a quick look at the phantom draft board trying to find some opinions on our academy boy Will Martyn, saw him ranked in the mid 20s on a couple of power ranking boards but no write ups. What's seems to be the general vibe/opinion on him from those in the know?Sydney was my tip to drop down this year.
I'm not sure about finishing last though.
I still believe the bottom two will most likely be Carlton and Gold Coast. Both with young teams playing a lot of kids, without too much quality depth. It's a long season and the grind catches up to younger players first. Both teams could fall away pretty quickly like Gold Coast did last year.
Carlton better hope Liam Stocker and who ever they draft with Adelaides pick is worth last years trade, because handing pick 1 to Adelaide will really hurt when Rowell is exactly the player they need to round out their midfield.
Adelaide will be happy if they end up with pick 1, with two SA kids, Will Gould and Dylan Stephens being outside chances to climb up to pick 1, or they just pick Rowell, or trade pick 1 to Gold Coast if one or Rankine or Lukosius requests a trade back to SA.
