2017 Draft thread

How does he look defensively. In the forward line.

His second efforts and tackling have been fantastic.

 

[pulpdriver]

Wow, Stephenson kicking his 3rd from 50. Him and Cutler (or Allison) on the wings would be very dangerous.

 

[lionshine]

Stephenson has been terrific. Kicks his 3rd.

 

[pulpdriver]

Krueger had a nice few minutes. Lukocious will be in high demand next year.

I'm a big fan of Stephenson and a couple of BF phantom drafters have him at number 1, would you have him in the mix?

Does Rayner look unfit, is he spending 100% of game time up forward or rotating through the midfield.

Based solely off of this game Stephenson would certainly be in the top 5 mix.

Rayner is rotating through the midfield as well and I wouldn't say he looks unfit. He just laid an outstanding chase down tackle.

Rayner playing a bit more midfield this half. Doesn't look unfit at all, just had a crunching tackle at half back to win the ball. Stephenson not really in the frame for one at this stage imo but man, so much potential. Could easily change. Has shown he can impact games up forward, this is the best I've seen him: playing an outside mid role. Shows a lot of flexibility and damage in either role. With his frame it's not out of the question he can become an on-baller too if he can add size. Tantalising.

And now Rayner kicks his fourth. Whoa Nelly, this kid is gonna be something.

 

[lionshine]

Rayner kicks his 4th goal.

 

[pulpdriver]

lol and now Stephenson kicks his fourth.

He is a very accurate kick for goal isn't he? He has a nice, smooth kicking action.

 

[lionshine]

Rayner and Stephenson have destroyed SA.

Rayner might have white line fever fitness just not great on the track but can find that bit extra when needed in a game.

Do you go with the Dustin Martin comparison with Rayner?

What's the score guys?

 

[lionshine]

Coffield has provided some nice dash off half back for VM.

 

[M Malice]

How's Darcy Fogarty going?

 

[pulpdriver]

He is a very accurate kick for goal isn't he? He has a nice, smooth kicking action.

His set shots are virtually flawless. Love the way he kicks when he receives the ball when he receives too. Felt like LDU was a far safer option (which he might be) but Rayner is putting in the kind of performance that is hard to ignore. Could end up unpassable.

 

[lionshine]

How's Darcy Fogarty going?

Had 2 touches.

 

[pulpdriver]

How's Darcy Fogarty going?

Invisible.

5 goals for Stephenson. Shit. Is there anyway we can turn 1 into two top 10 picks?

Rayner looking like a number one but LDU and Stephenson would be yuge.

Yeah Rayner is Dusty/Petracca esque.

 

[lionshine]

Stephenson 5 goals wow.

 

[jackess]

Might need Port to finish really poorly for Stephenson to slide to their pick.

 

[pulpdriver]

5 for Rayner.

He's starting to cramp and looks tired though.

 

[pulpdriver]

Stephenson has not stopped and his tackling efforts this late have still been great. Gonna retract what I said earlier about him not being in the frame for 1. He will come under some real consideration with our first.

 

[lionshine]

5 for Rayner.

They've got another game in 5 days time so the Vic Metro coaching staff might rest Rayner for the rest of the game rather than risk injury. I haven't seen him on the field since he kicked his 5th.

Get a beginning of 1st round PP and we can have Rayner and Stephenson.

He's been on the bench since. I reckon they'll still play him Wednesday but it'll be similar to today in that he'll be predominantly forward and 3 quarters is about all they'll expect.
