2017 Draft - Pick 30

Remove this Banner Ad

According to cal twomey we have dow at 3, Richards at 10 (???), then a choice of constable, worpel, Ross, Moore at 31 (Melb get 30 with the f/s inclusion of Richmond and academy selections). I would take constable in a heartbeat.

DOW, RICHARDS, CONSTABLE, KENNEDY, LANG for the loss of Gibbs is a handy start.

Jaidyn Stephenson with the heart issue could be the elite talent that drops. A couple are now pegging him to be available in the 40s. I'd take the risk in an instant.

I would take him with 10, but if he is available at 30 and we dont take him then SOS must have mail that he wont live past 21.

I like the look of Angus Schumacher, Kyron Hayden and Jackson Ross.

Schumacher and Ross have the kicking skills we so desperately lack whilst Hayden has a touch of dare I say it, Cripps?

If I knew how, I would attach the video links but I'm not that tech savvy :-(

Schumacher - very fast but accident prone.....
 
Constable won’t make 30. He’s quality, he’ll be gone. Stephenson will be well gone also, heart issue and all, he’s quality too. Oh well, looks like it’s Worpel.

According to Jake Niall, Carlton have ruled both Stephenson and Bonar out.

He also says, both eagles and swans interested in drafting Stephenson (picks 13,14) after they "have believed to have cleared Stephenson medically".
 
If Constable is available at 30 and we don’t pick him I will be pretty disappointed. He may have a lot of work to do to get his running up to scratch but the kid can seriously play. He is decent as a forward and as a defender in addition to being one of the better clearance players in the draft. I also think his skills are quite good, he will be a player at AFL level IMO.
