2017 Draft rumours

Definitely something NQR about Rayner, and it's possible it's not just fitness-based.

Really want him to succeed at Brisbane though, as his talent is obvious and they are building a talented list, far beyond what I think a lot are expecting.

Might end up being a gun flanker but only part-time midfielder, and that'll be enough.

Based on his 2km time trial you would expect opposition coaches to transition out of defence through his opponent on a regular basis.

Why the brand new account mate?
 
It hasn’t been said exactly what his condition is
Or has it now?
A few people in the know (not BF) have spoken about it being the same condition was only discovered in October.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy basically hardens the walls of the heart (think hypertrophy as the goal for body builders) which can present a risk for prolonged and sustained exercise over a long period of time.
It can be a symptom of more severe tachycardias but AFAIK it's not related to that sort of condition.
Some people with severe forms will undergo surgery to have a section of their heart wall removed.

Good luck to the kid, he's a jet and the type of player you get people turning up to games to watch but some clubs have completely ruled him out.

Yeah I had heard rumours that it was cardiomyopathy but I wasn’t sure how true they were. Really feel for the kid if that’s the case
 
How strong is the brayshaw to North mail?

People think North have other mids ranked higher

Impeccable.

As good as anyone that drops mail on our board and that has been the way for at least 10 years.

The bloke only really posts on the North board.

Of course, it's not a guarantee as another player that is taken for granted might lob at 4, or Brayshaw may get snapped up earlier, but I don't question this posters integrity.

North clearly don't see LDU/Cerra/Dow as automatic 1, 2, 3 mids and I can only deduce that we have ruled out Rayner if he is available.
 
What’s that have to do with anything?


It's a fairly common trait for trolls to appear and employ a very instant cocksure manner.

I don't question your posting so far, but it is a trait that seasoned posters will contemplate.

Definitely not here to troll. Followed the draft really closely this year and do have a good idea of who can play and who can’t. Also done a lot of research as in reading and talking to people trying to get a handle on who goes where. Not just someone who puts together a mock draft without any research after watching a two minute highlight video. Actually know what I’m talking about. Also have spent hours and hours watching footage over the last few months too

It's not the be all and end all - it might be treatable even if it is, it could be significant surgery, a long rehab process and he comes out and wins the 2019 rising star.
The issue is without significant testing the severity is unknown, and some clubs have ruled a line through him because of it. Best case scenario - he slides and a team gets a bargain.

Yeah I’ve heard Carlton are one of the teams who have ruled him out completely

Stephenson is an interesting situation - Top 5 talent and very very good player with elite traits but has this hear condition

Not sure where the pick is that is worth the risk as if things dont work out for him its a total bust of a pick

Hard Call for any club but im thinking for Richmond it could just be worth taking the risk

We basically got #20+#25 for Deledio who is over 30 and looks like being close to the end

If Naish is not bid on before our #25 that basically means we have 4 x top 25 selections

Worth the Risk IMO
 
If Naish is not bid on before our #25 that basically means we have 4 x top 25 selections

No it doesn't. If you take three picks inside the top 25 and a bid for Naish comes after that stage, it means you have 3 x top 25 selections.
 
Naish is rated higher but estimated to be bid on later due to Father sons having a later pick due to teams looking after each other with these selections

sosos was expected to be a 35-45 selection and went much later as do most FS kids
