2017 Draft thread

[SizeMatters]

LDU was ruled out quite a while ago from what I've heard.

Those Facebook and Twitter trade whisper things are a joke.

must be a reason surely? They just don't like the cut of his jib?

From a personal POV I can't split LDU/Rayner on playing ability.

I think he may have meant Matt Burgan.

Did indeed. Got confused with some random since Burgan's been not doing his mocks for a while now (I know, he got gainful employment at a club).

 

[Johnny Bananas]

I thought Matt Balmer is Bishop, not just some random.

He is, and he's not.

With all this talk of Stephenson falling due to the heart condition, I wonder if the club would be willing to take the risk at 15, especially if they pick Rayner up first who's another risk-reward player. Given that we've been linked to L Fogarty a lot, plus him maybe helping with Rayner's Go Home risk, would the club pass him up for Stephenson?

This is my quiet thought: we go Brayshaw/LDU at one and hope Stephenson slides (which is not as unlikely as it seems). That way, we take a risk...but not with pick 1.

We won't be touching Stephenson at any pick. Very confident of that.

I hadn't even heard of Stephensen's heart issue until this week. Is it a new revelation?

I don't thhink we should base what we do with our 1st pick in the hope someone slides ALOT to our 2nd pick. Pick whoever we think is going to be the best for us regardless of the 2nd pick. Still think Stephenson won't slide that much especially since he was rated a top 5

Inside knowledge or opinion?

PattyK is very reliable.

Jesus, Stephenson with pick 15+? He is going to make clubs regret not selecting him with a top end pick if he slides that far.

pretty much. He's pretty good at what he does but I reckon majority of his work is plagiarised.

Yeah, we will take him at 15 if available (seriously doubt it though). Bet both of my nuts on it.

Battle lines drawn

It's on

It appears no club will take him in the first two rounds.

 

[Dalions]

It must be bloody serious if that is the case.

 

[irel]

It must be bloody serious if that is the case.

It may not be serious, but clubs are very weary of making sure they don't take unnecessary risks with their high end draft picks.

Edit; Clubs like Richmond and West Coast who have multiple second round picks may take the risk.

Has us selecting Cameron Rayner, Lachlan Fogarty and Zac Bailey.

You would have to think hard before you passed on him!

Surprised Constable isn't in his top 30
