2017 Draft thread

[Flossie32]

Of course Cam Rayner is going to say he is fine with living interstate. These guys would have their eye on no 1 draft pick as they get like $10k for being no 1. An investment portfolio from NAB
Imagine if we had no 2 as well. Have to decide which player deserves the cash.

Spot on Sizey. When I was 41, I run 3.62 and I have never been a quick runner.
Thats is crap. Rookie at best after that.

Double that for me ............. except when I know I'm not wearing my incontinence pad ....... in that instance, I can certainly give Petrucelle a run for his money ........

 

[winged1]

Gee that's painfully slow from payne. I would expect that from a bloke in his 40s

I could run under that...oh hang on.

 

[BuntonRules]

5.95 for me!

I make it to the loo in time in the morning.

22.4 is roughly 14.8 beep, right?

 

[Berrygood]

It's one thing to kick and another to kick under pressure though - worth noting when discussing kicking.

If it was worth nothing it wouldnt be part of the combine testing. A test of any skill in any way is always worth discussing. Its the accumulation of these test results that assist in rating players suitability. I do agree though that more weight should be placed on his game play and stats in tac or other comps.

Jaidyn Stephenson up there, I wonder if the Dockers would be interested in 12 and 18 for their pick 5, we might then be able to grab Jaidyn at 5.

Although the more I read about Aiden Bonar, I wouldn't be totally against taking him at 12.

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

Might not be under match pressure but pressure (to perform) nevertheless. And with all this testing it is comparative and that in itself has some value. For Ballenden, his result just confirms what he has shown in matches, including against men at NEAFL level.

Growing on me really fast. Had that impressive All-Star game and now having a huge combine; great size, plenty of athleticism and the kind of character we want. Really like him.

So to summarise, Payne went from possible rookie selection to untouchable to fourth round pick in the space of 60 secs on this thread.

It’s the way we roll. Anything can happen at this time of year. A mere mention of a name and the word “trade” can have a hundred trade scenarios, anger, frustration and redemption all in 60 seconds. And the drafting is even more fickle that that!

It’s going to be a long hot (summer) draft/trade period!

Bonar will go before pick 12 I think, Saints likely to take him with one of their picks.

He's one of those very highly rated juniors who has had injuries ah la Ryan Burton, looks ready to go next year too, him and LDU could easily play 15-20 games in the firsts next year, Jarrod Berry type physique.

Don't talk like that E, I'm starting to get excited about the prospect of getting Bonar, you'll put me off Bonar prematurely.

The thought of those 3 in the midfield in a few years time is tantalising thought.

I'm sure you are

Bingo....according to SEN trade expert....Saints will take Bonar 7 or 8......however.....more excitingly......went on to say if the Lions had a second early pick.......they would grab Bonar...... Fagan said he watched the game so could not miss Bonar and Stephensen!!

Jaidyn Stephenson said he grew up supporting the lions in the Combine Wrap

[Lazza16]

Thats pretty quick for a guy of his build, he's a pretty big lad from what i've seen of him. I'd be definitely looking at him for a spot with that sort of speed and the play he's shown.

Better than ballenden by tomorrow lol and would be a lovely kick out from FB. A must!

 

[Comeback Lions]

Don't talk like that E, I'm starting to get excited about the prospect of getting Bonar, you'll put me off Bonar prematurely.

I wouldn't know personally, but I believe it's treatable these days.

 

[SizeMatters]

Would trade pick 1 for 7 and 8. I reckon two of coffield, cerra and bonar would be there and grab Clark at pick 12. Have heard saints want to move up and target someone and I reckon it's Rayner.

 

[Lazza16]

I think Bonar will be similar to the bonts draft year.....come from nowhere and go for pick 3 or 5 whatever the bont went for.

If ther was a top 4 pick involved - yes.............

Would only do that if we got tier 1 (pick 2) compo.

 

[SizeMatters]

I tend to think draft picks are over rated and more so in this draft which I think is fairly even in the top 10 considering past drafts. I just can't see how pick 1 will be better than two top 8 prospects in this draft.
