Been watching the championship games again, and Darcy Fogarty was awful. I'm sure he must have elite talent, since those best placed to know say so. Must have some very impressive form at under 16-17 level for us to be considering him.

The more i watch of Lochie O'Brien the more i like him and think he should be high on our list for pick 10.
Elite kick of the footy. Him and Willo on the wings would be deadly.

If we got Dow and Fogarty I'd cry of happiness. I guess there is a bit of bust potential with Fogarty, but he also has huge upside. He's a big boy with an elite kick. O'Brien is also someone I'd like at #10. Him and Dow have chem, they went to school together. Best kick in the draft and already has a big tank.
Reading his bio, he sounds like Nick Dal Santo. Is that a good comparison?

Think thats actually a decent comparison. Gaff is another one.
Great tank, quick (national 400m runner), runs all day both ways and has an exceptional kick. All class.
Was rated a clear top 10 at the start of the year, been battling injuries all year so hasnt had the best year.

I think that is a perfect comparison except O'Brien seems to have even more of a stab in his kicking then Dal. Just can't change my mind that I like this kid at this pick.
We still need more natural ball winners.

I was talking about next year. I see losing Gibbs as some short term pain for big long term gain.
I would Higgins or O'Brien at #10. I understand both are extremely different players so here is some quick thoughts of mine on each.
Jack Higgins - A small forward/midfielder who consistently finds his own ball, has good endurence and possesses elite footy IQ and goal nous. He averaged 25 disposals and kicked 29 goals in 13 games in the TAC Cup, winning him the Morrish Medal. Also scoring a bag of 7 goals in a game against the Pioneers. The only real knock on him is at his height of 178cm and whether he can translate these levels of performance in AFL. For such a outstanding prospect I think the reward far outweighs the risk and could well be gone before our pick 10.

Lockie O'Brien - One of the highest regarded players coming into the 2017 season, this outside midfielder/half back flanker possesses good speed, damaging disposal from his left boot and an exceptional work rate. His excellent endurance and work rate mean he is a strong two-way runner and this allows him to dictate play and create from deep in defence as well as in attack. Unfortunately his draft stocks have plummeted due to an injury interrupted year. Like higgins I believe his calibre should put him in the mix for our #10.

If Hunter Clark is available at 10 we must pull the trigger absolute gun.
I think Kennedy alone will make the trade a win in the long term.
Kid is a jet. He is primed to step up in his 3rd year with more responsibility after a solid 16 games for a preliminary finals team.
Almost every player ever drafted "fills a need" to some degree because clubs are constantly trying to improve what they have. The only time that would change is when you have impeccable group of players in a certain area and you draft a player that you don't rate as particularly better than what you already have. The former tactic I fully justify whereas the latter is probably not a good idea.

How many here would pick O'Brien over Clark?
Rayner at 3 and Clark at 10 would be the perfect draft.

I like Hunter Clark at pick 10.
Interesting that both Twomey and bishop have heard the Blues being linked to Darcy Fogerty - curious to see if we pick him if still available at 10.

Can't see either going Top 10. Too many better prospects ahead of them
You would think that at least one of Clark Fogarty Brayshaw Stephenson Coffield Bonar will be available at 10. We will get a good one I'm sure

I want LDU at 3 and Clark at 10
I have LDU ranked at 1 and Clark at 5
I’m not adverse to taking Oscar Allen at 10 though. I have him ranked at pick 9

Not sure that is correct, given they are completely different types
Bit surprised Oscar Allen's not mentioned much. Probably not on CFC's radar but reckon he will be one to watch in the future.
Guy is rarely caught either, and when he is, he always gets his hands free to dish off the ball.
