Preview 2018 Draft General Discussion

[bungalow_bill]

Rankine has some serious behavioural issues.

Every club other than the Crows should stay well clear. Wasting a pick on him in such a quality high-end draft pool would be a real waste.

I'm convinced

I heard Hill has behavioral issues as well and only Freo can solve it!

Yeah this is true, said he is playing with his cousins whatever it takes. Prepared to sit out the two years.

I've heard he is homesick already. And he's only gone down to the shops for milk and bread.

Second round pick at best

I heard rumour that he will rather quit than play outside WA.

Can we not clog up this thread with pointless banter that is neither funny nor relevant.

 

[briztoon]

I like banter.

& its good to see common sense getting a gig:
Early indications suggested Graham may have been eligible to be recruited outside the draft as a Category B rookie due to his basketball background.

However, it was determined this week because he had played in a 'structured' school competition he was ineligible and must enter the draft process.

Thomas dominating GWS:

You do love to support a good North product Pykie.

Fairly relevant to the 2018 draft I would of thought.

So, can someone give me a short list (& draft range) for some key forwards in this draft?

Lukosius, Ben King, Max King and Nick Blakey could potentially make up 4 out of the top 5.

Then I think there will be a fair gap to the next taken.

Garoni and Munn are probably second round prospects.

 

[philthy05]

I think there is a Dylan o Reilly from WA and Zane barzen as well. Not sure where they are rated? Love to hear from watchers?

 

[LemmingMaster]

These are based on minimal early season information

Lukosius _ Draft range 1-3 but I doubt anywhere outside the top 2.
Ben King 3-10 would be my guess at the moment
Max King 3-10 would be my guess, depending on his knee information.
Nick Blakey 3-10 as well then again, would you call him a key forward, I think he has a few more strings to his bow.

 

[Freezin]

Not sure cousin Brad is the fella to keep cousin Ian on the straight and narrow....disappointing to read Brad Hills latest indiscretion.....hopefully Ian doesn't follow suit

I don't see Zane Barzen as a KPF on what I've seen of him, more a 3rd tall type IMO.

Can easily hang out with cousin Stephen.

Sadly cousin Stephen hangs out too much in the rehab room.....not sure either cousin will help their little cousin Ian
