2017 Draft thread

[Nunez]

We will only draft him if nobody else wants him second round and later.

Ugh, sorry mate but do you watch him play? He is a quality talent who can play forward, back or ruck. Even just using the Sydney game as an example- he took on two listed defenders throughout the game and beat them both comprehensively. He is a lot more than just a tall kid.

Sorry mate, you're entitled to your opinion but I really have no idea how you could think we don't want him and he is crap.

Paine looks good but I'd have him well below Ballenden based off what I've seen of him. Really good prospect to develop but will likely take years.

IMHO our dream scenario is if we do not pick him at all...
He dominated underage just because he is tall - not good enough to cut it in AFL.

Have u even seen Ballenden play?

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

Seems to be doing pretty well against men in the NEAFL of late.

 

[SRH17]

Wondering why we cut him then.

Because he was a skinny kid at 16 and not showing anything like what he is delivering now.
Had back to back meetings last Saturday with half a dozen Melbourne clubs.

29 disposals and 2 goals for Rayner today. Jack Higgins kicked 3 goals. Looking forward to hearing about how Dow goes tomorrow playing for the Pioneers.

LDU had a rubbish champs so I do not think he is a safe choice at all. Highly over-rated. Kills school footy, does not play much TAC and rubbish champs. Has given no indication he can step up in grades.
If we do not get pick 1 (and a fair chance of that) I think Rayner might slide as his endurance is terrible. That should not be a concern for us. He will be a gun.
Others I like are Dow and Higgins.
And I do not give a FF what "expert" analysts like Knightmare say. My opinion is my own.

If we get pick 1 I am confident we will be trading it unless we have something lined up in the psd

 

[lionshine]

5 goals for Jackson Ross today and he was named BOG for the Eastern Ranges. Continues to put in top quality performances. Will be a riser.

Quinlan or Osborne ?

Apparently had Coffield on him for much of the game.

I've seen very little of Ballenden and the games I did see he had quieter games so I haven't been able to get a good grasp first hand of his abilities but I like what I've read particularly as of late. I've seen multiple people compare him to Peter Wright. Would you say this is a decent player comparison Nunez ?

Glen Jakovich.

Interested in that observation, I rate Constable well above Coffield,much more presence.

Does the PSD order not remain consistent with reverse ladder position?

 

[jonnobackpocket]

Well pick 1 is ours.

 

[The Flying Belgian]

Well pick 1 is ours.

You do realise who were playing in the last round?

Jack Darling. Certainly has the physique to be like him.
(Realise I'm not Nunez!)

Yep is correct, trades don't affect the psd order

My apologies I actually thought they were a game ahead. I retract my statement your honour.

Watched a bit of the stream. Lachie Harris went OK too. Two goals and looked clean.

More detail required!

 

[cotter101]

Kicked 2 goals and picked up 27 touches roughly. His attack on the ball was ferocious and really used his speed to get out of congestion. One of the most rounded games I've seen for a while at TAC Cup level. Gun.

Thanks cotter101 are you watching all 3 games?

 

[a mayes ing]

Need to somehow tell him to stop playing so well. Don't want Nth to take him instead of Rayner
