Just where he's expected to go. Hasn't exactly starred this year.



Lukosius is the no.1 pick for 2018.

I was under the impression that is locked away for Izak Rankine?

From the above article - good to see Patrick was tanking so he slips down the list!!!!

#22 Patrick Naish

Outside Midfielder (Northern Knights/Vic Metro)
15/01/1999 | 180.6cm | 68.9kg
Previous ranking: #20

Scouting notes: Smart and lively inside 50. Working on his contested ball winning ability, but looks suited to start as a forward at AFL level. Can play across half back, ball usage is reasonable by foot but can often go for the miracle kick rather than a simpler options. Has a good spring that allows his to leap over some of his smaller opponents. Covers the ground well. Father-son eligible for Richmond.

Last month: Naish looked his best in the TAC Cup elimination final for the Northern Knights when he was in the attacking half of the ground, finishing the day with 21 disposals, three inside 50s and a goal. Not only did Naish get to see his Tigers win on Grand Final day, but he was the leading disposal winner for Team Enright with 21 disposals and three rebound 50s – using the ball well on his right foot. Back spasms saw Naish only complete the goal kicking and kicking test at the NAB AFL Draft Combine.

Bishop I found the article looking up Sam Hayes who is listed a #10, Cal Twomey has him falling to us at 15.
He looks like he would fill our needs if he does. Your thoughts on this?

Yep would think he's in that Pick 15 bracket. Rucks always go later than rated.

Old shady Balme, telling Naish to pretend he got back spasms....Lol.
 
For Me - Dream result

Noah Balta
Tall Utility (Calder Cannons/Vic Metro)
23/10/1999 | 195.0cm | 94.9kg
Previous ranking: #13

Scouting notes: Athletic tall who has one of the biggest upsides of the draft pool. Balta has played predominately as a ruckman or a key forward for the Calder Cannons – but showed great signs as a defender in the Vic Metro trial and played there in the NAB AFL Under 18 Championships. He is a good mark, but his running patterns up forward do need some work. He possesses a rare combo of elite speed and agility for a tall player. His vertical leap is exceptional and can do things that many other talls in the draft pool cannot. Has a very long right foot kick.

Last month: The Calder Cannons missed out on TAC Cup Finals, but Balta did have an impact – especially early, in the NAB AFL Under 18 All Stars game on Grand Final day. Balta finished with 12 disposals and two marks and often took the kick outs for Team Enright. Showed off his leap at the NAB AFL Draft Combine and was a very good tester in the agility with 8.38 seconds. He sat out the yo-yo test with knee soreness, but was able to complete the 2km time trial the next day.



Darcy Fogarty
General Forward (Glenelg/South Australia)
05/09/1999 | 191.9cm | 94.5kg
Previous ranking: #14

Scouting notes: Strongly built forward that can push into the midfield. Played up forward for South Australia in last year’s Under 18 Championships booting seven goals. Fogarty played a strong game in the midfield for Glenelg in their finals last year and has been tried as a third tall defender at stages throughout 2017. Has the ability to kick off either foot and can lay bone-crunching tackles. He is more of a third tall than an inside midfielder at this stage. Ruled out for the season with a meniscus tear in his knee

Forgarty won't last until our picks. Balta a real chance. I would like the Tiges to look at Nathan Krueger from SA. For a tall KPP he looks an outstanding athlete. Anyone watched him a fair bit?

Kruegar will be in the 30's - 50's range not worth our 1st rounders

Fogarty could be the slider if Crows give up their #10

geez fogarty looks good. nice size, moves well in traffic, loves a tackle and looks to be nicely skilled. would suit our game style to a tee.

we'd be laughing with him, balta and naish
 
Like those two.
Oscar Allen might be the safest punt... Big wingspan, footballer, hard at it, fairly athletic and a goal kicker.
Bonar might be the best of the lot...
Two of the four will probably be around for our picks.
Happy days.

This Balta kid sounds promising from all the talk here. If hes that good a Key position player then what's the issue that would mean he's still around for our picks

By all accounts he's all potential but not so much proven performance in any particular position. So he gets discounted against the good KPF or KPB.
 
They described Balta as a rangy player that dosnt know when to back off.
Sounds like a young Rance to me.
There's quite a bit of young Rance about the way he plays: full speed ahead, athletic af. He'd get the best tutelage at Tigerland.
 
We really nailed our 3 picks last year. If we do the same this year we are going to be finals bound for a long stretch. I know people are crying out for talls but my wish list is (Nick Murphy; Ed Richards; Naish). All will be great roll players and they are the type to take with late first/early second picks.
