What do you think of Brad Scheer at our first pick?
Would be very surprised if he was there- but Suns will match a bid anyway, especially in the 2nd round.

Pick 48 so they say
48. Kayle KIRBY
Ht: 181.1cm | Wt: 96.0kg | Medium Forward | Bendigo Pioneers
First and foremost, Kirby hits like a truck – just ask Western Australian midfielder Liam Baker, who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time during their clash in the national championships at Subiaco. He is a Byron Pickett-type, who relishes the physical aspects of the game, but also has great instincts around goal – he kicked 47 majors for Tyntynder seniors in 2015. Athletically, he has plenty of work to do – his second efforts and work rate are poor and he need to work on his conditioning. That said, he is a talented, intriguing prospect.
Strengths: impact, physicality, goal sense.
Needs to improve: endurance, conditioning, agility.
Injuries: Hip flexor in June. Back stiffness at state combine.
Combine test results: Repeat Sprint – 26.68. 20m Sprint – 3.05. Agility – 8.90. Beep Test – N/A. 3km TT – N/A.
Draft range: 40+.
What they say: “Kayle is an excitement machine. He’s got some real x-factor, deadly accurate around goals, dangerous whenever he gets the ball and he’s physically intimidating. He’s only been playing football for three or four years so the upside is enormous.” – Bendigo Pioneers coach Brett Henderson.

Begley looks very composed with the ball in hands and doesn't seem to blaze away for goal if he has a better option on his highlights reel. Very impressive. Is this a true representation of his overall game?

Just had a look at Ridley and Begley and I'm all for them. Know there was a bit of talk for Clarke but his disposals worry me. I know Clarke is an inside mid as opposed to the others but Ridley would develop with his size Begley has some weight on him by the looks of it, they shouldn't be scared to get physical

Whatever we do, we need to take Maibaum with our 2nd pick.

JOSH Begley’s plans to play his senior football career at Upper Ferntree Gully may have been shelved for the time being.
The 18-year-old could emerge as one of the success stories of this year’s AFL draft.
Begley, a key forward turned powerful onballer, wasn’t even on the Eastern Ranges’ radar 12 months ago, but Upper Gully were keen for him to be exposed to the TAC Cup.
He turned in a blinder in the opening round for the Division 3 club in the Eastern Football League, kicking six goals.
Ranges scouts went down and had a look at him the following week. He booted seven goals in a 64-point win over Park Orchards.
“We saw in the first couple of rounds he was a step above everyone else and hence why we got the Eastern Ranges to come down and watch his second game,” Upper Gully coach Chad Rogers said.
“From there we knew we wouldn’t get him back.”
Weighing 105kg, he lined up against the Tassie Mariners after two games with Upper Gully. He wasn’t out of place with a bag of another six goals.
Proving it wasn’t a fluke, he kicked 10 goals over the next three weeks.
That was when he was dragged into the Ranges’ offices with his parents for a chat about where he wanted to take his football.
He has since lost 5kg, while his skinfolds have dropped from more than 80, which is considered overweight for an athlete, to 55, which is elite for a TAC Cup player.
He also started a low-fat diet and joined a gym to start a strengthening program.
“By the end of the year, he was one of the first picked onballers week-in, week-out,” Eastern Ranges talent manager Len Villani said.
“Being able to turn himself around in five months, it has been incredible.”
Begley said he was “over the moon” with how he had performed this year, finishing the season with 26 goals and averaging 17 disposals from his 15 TAC Cup outings.
“It has all happened pretty quick, I’m very happy, I didn’t think it was going to happen this time last year,” Begley said.
Begley, an opening bowler who also won a cricket premiership with Upper Gully earlier this year, said prior to this season he intended to play his football days out at Kings Park.
“I love playing down there with all my mates down there so that would have been my plan to play senior footy down at Upper Gully for the rest of my football career,” he said.
At the draft combine, Villani said he “blew them away”, completing a 13.8 beep test, 10.39 minutes for the 3km time trial and 3.01 seconds for the 20m sprint.
“Once he gets up and running, he is going to do some serious damage to some big body AFL players in the years to come,” he said.
From not even being in the draft conversation this time last year, Villani said he was “pretty bullish” about Begley’s AFL prospects.
“I’d be shocked if he wasn’t at an AFL club next year based on what he has done, the runs on the board and the feedback I am getting from people,” he said.
“It will be the best story I have had in any involvement in all my time in footy for him to get across the line.”

If the suns dont take him with pick 10, I'm trying to work out where they will get their points from to match. They dont have another pick till 73 worth 9 points. The word is they want him, but I cant see how they can without using 10. What am I missing?
They could go into deficit for next years draft. Which will affect their pick in round of which the player was bid on.
