100% with you there. No-one in the top 5 looks like someone who is worthy of pick 3 to me.

I really dont like this draft

I did like the post, I'm just saving the three or four gullible souls on here who think they'd run a horrible beep test.
Heaps of quality inside mids, some underrated running types, some mature types that suit our needs and some decent KPs if we want to cut deeper into our depth.
What's not to like?
or if SOS is good he will able to pick a number of good players. It's a very even draft but there is some talent there. Just need to pick the gold

I think it's a beauty. Very even and hard to pick. No stand outs doesn't make it poor
In what year?
Hahaha. Top 5 not worth pick 3. I tell ya who we'll get - the kid we think is best, unless he's draft at 1 or 2. Ergo pick 3. Very few look "worth it" until they actually develop into what they eventually become.
That reminds me of Shifter Sheehan's commentary at the draft where he's always "surprised someone didn't go earlier" or "love this pick". By his comments he'd have 40 players in the top 20.
The draft is the draft. A pick doesn't guarantee anything. But there will be good players picked, and most likely early, and hopefully be us.

No standouts means its a lottery.. as you say many project well but i dont want to take the gamble. Give me Kelly for 3 please
It's a lottery if you're gambling. If you know what you're doing you can pick the gold from dirt. Wouldn't surprise me if SOS sees this as an opportunity and has a number of players targted throughout the whole draft.
As for Pick 3 happy to use it on Kelly but only on him.

This is how Bishop sees things right now.
Putting the 2016 & 17 draft together, he has one of this years draftees included. Just one.

Josh Kelly is about the only established player i would be prepared to give up pick 3 for.
I read an article on footy prophet about J.Stephenson, apparently he runs a 2.91 over 20m and a 10.97 over 100m! Plus around a 6m30sec 2km time trial, he clearly has some fantastic attributes. Wouldn't be surprised if we take him at 3, can play forward and is 189cm with a large wingspan, can play midfield and win his own ball. Kicking efficiency is just under 50% but apparently it's more composing himself before contact rather than technique. Once he develops an AFL body he could be anything!
Haha yeah I knew I'd get a few bites with that remark. What I mean is, the draft has quite a few good players in it this year, but the top 5 quality has been better in other years, so I'd actually prefer to get a Bonafide player worthy of Pick 3 like Kelly. Given that we will now start to go up the ladder and will not be getting picks in the 1 - 5 range (I hope) I'd rather get Kelly than take a punt on one of Rayner, LDU, Cerra, Dow, Brander etc.
It's not eye catching is it.
Who's Bishop? Having Ainsworth at 10 seems a bit strange.
Dunno about that, it looks to me like there are a lot of very good players but no stand outs. Clubs will have their job cut out for them finding that diamond.
Stephenson looks to me like he could have plenty of upside, but I'd rather use Pick 3 on getting Kelly.

Bishop is a prominent poster on the draft board.
He watches lots of junior footy and posts extensive write ups of potential draftees.
I like him; he doesn't follow the consensus and makes his own judgements. Seems to pick up on minor traits that others miss. Plus I think he rated SPS at #1 at one point last year and was bullish on Fisher so I assume he is super accurate.

If you have years with a 'bumper draft crop' you also have the year before of drought as well. Sounds like it this year, much harder to strike gold. Hope we can make it 3 from 3.
the only thing I know about this draft is that we'll be thrilled and shocked that whoever we get at 3 was still there as we had them ranked as a clear #1
can't wait!
can't wait!
That's my opinion. Every year we here comments about depth or draft or it falls away etc. Last year the consistent comment was that it fell away after about 30. Yet we picked Williamson Kerr & Polson then Lebois & ASOS.
I am yet to see someone even nail the Top 10 of a year let alone what comes later. Every year very good players are picked in the 40's 50's and later. This year will be no different. For a lot of kids until they get into the AFL system we don't really know. SOS will still bring in another 10-12 NEW players to the club. Some may be trades but most will be picks. I am sure SOS will see some gold later in the draft

Thanks. That's good enough for me
Wasn't last year supposedly deep, which was why we pulled the trigger on that Hawks trade? I think 2015 was about 30 from memory.
I like this draft for us, really good quality at pick 3. Hope we get another pick inside the top 25 as well
