2017 Draft thread

Who will have pick 1?

Gold Coast, maybe North.

Rankine will go top 5 easy. Lukoscious and Max King are current 1 + 2 and I wouldn't exclude Sam Walsh from being part of the conversation as top 5. Tarryn Thomas will cost North plenty as well.

Who will have pick 1?

You'd have to think Gold Coast by the length of the straight.

Next three are likely us, Carlton, North in no particular order.

Gold Coast drafting tall may depend on if Lynch stays. North would likely go tall (either forward or back), Carlton could go either way. So even at pick 4 we could get the best mid available.

Don't see Freemantle dropping?

I see Freo around the same mark as this year pending to injuries. Surprisingly, I do find it interesting that North have delisted a lot of their older players this year prior to a very healthy draft. Collingwood have also delisted a number of KPD's which no-one is really taking about. I don't see a lot of difference with teams movements in their areas of 6 (bottom, middle, top). Port have positioned themselves well and do think that's Melbourne will be smarting with their finish this year. WC will drop out of the 8.

If we can boost our ball winning ability in this draft id be more than happy to go with Walsh next year. Think he would balance our midfield well with 2 good ball winners this year along with Hugh.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

A year is a long time with underagers but I don't see Rankine not going #1 overall, that kid is special. Maybe if Gold Coast lose Lynch they'd take Lukosius but even then I doubt it.

I'm hoping for Walsh, talented and a Lions supporter.

 

[briztoon]

Could you imagine having Lukosius and Hippy in the forward line.

When they're both developed it would scare the bejesus out of opposition defenders and coaches.

Wont matter if we had Buddy in the forward line if we don't have qualoity midfielders to give it to them ala Sydney GF

Which we will get in this draft and likely the next. Midfield isn't as far off as you'd think. Definitely missing pieces but those pieces are very attainable.

Could be an immensely dangerous combo. Love the leading and work rate of Lukosius. There's an awesome play from that SANFL prelim final where he leads right up the ground for an option, gets the ball moving to space and then manages to be open leading to space right in front of goal. Boggles the mind that it was a SANFL debut. Humungous potential. Kinda hoping he's outside our range though. He's a 1-2 talent. Would really be awesome if we could nail down two top ball winning midfielders from the top tier this draft, improve, move up the ladder and just be comfortable taking the best available rather than aiming for anyone.

Can we talk about this year instead of next year?

Honestly, I'm not sure any team aims for a particular player a year out from the next seasons draft.

What would you like to talk about?

You know...... stuff

I'd agree with you if Crows weren't desperately begging for our 2018 first rounder like a crack whore about to come down.

They can beg and plead, cajole, threaten and mutter all they like .

They are not getting our 2018 First uinder any circumstances.

No doubt. There's just two top 3 talents from SA and they want first dibs. Kinda embarrassed for them for even asking.

 

[weevil]

I remember that Draft well.

I remember exactly where I was when I learned what we gave up to get Fev. And I remember how sick in the guts I felt.

Wish I had that foresight, Weevs. I was so excited when that trade went through.

Sorry I missed this,what exactly are we getting in return for next year's first rounder ?

Nothing because the trade won't happen, but I think Adelaide (Supporters? the club? Big Footy posters?) would like our 2018 first rounder for Charlie Chocolates Cameron. (aka CCC).

 

[13Beast]

Perhaps if they REALLY want our first next year, then #10 + #16 + CC could perhaps start negotiations

 

[Wayne Shaw]

Ballarden over Schache
#18 should do

Welcome..... and no.

Plus their first next year and Jenkins.
