2018 Draft thread

Irregardless of whether we lose Beams or not(but particularly if we do lose him), I hope we look at Marlion Pickett as a ready-to-go, mature aged, contested ball winning mid.

GOLD Coast and West Coast are tracking ready-to-go South Fremantle midfielder Marlion Pickett ahead of a near-certain step up to AFL ranks next season.

AFL.com.au understands the Suns, keen to bolster their onball stocks, have spoken to the 26-year-old, described by one WAFL official as "hard as they come".

Marlion Pickett (South Fremantle)
A breakout performance in round six against Swan Districts showed why Pickett has recruiters excited. The tough nut asked for a switch into midfield from half-back this season to make the most of his pace and skills, and soon delivered a 30-possession – 21 of them contested – nine-clearance, seven-tackle, five-inside-50 and one-goal performance.

Thanks Crusha, full games, I'll have a look at one or two over the weekend and see how he looks. If he's Tim Kelly level it would be terrific, in the right age bracket for us as well.

There are 5 or 6 W.AFL boys ready to go.

Still think GCS should take the Kings.

I wish you were the Suns list and recruitment manager.

 

[Bobby Beecroft]

Re the Kings 1. could be wrong but they seem like they are entitled and would be gone in 2 years. 2. as been mentioned we are right for KPP's - in fact we almost have too many. 3. we need mids

Also think the Saints may draft one of them

Not sure what you have based that observation on, I am interested to hear what it is.

In a recent TV interview I saw they were the opposite to what you described. Humble guys that appeared genuinely accepting they will be separated & have no concerns heading interstate.

You did say you could be wrong.

 

[bungalow_bill]

Fair enough. Based on reports that they weren't interested in being drafted by the Suns

 

[trikster]

The purple flog is saying he expects 3 teams to get a PP this year, carlton, gc and I can only assume st kilda would be the third. He also said he expects them to be at the end of the first round. So if this were to be the case it becomes more likely we would have to use our 2nd rounder on McFadyen.

There were reports (on BF) that Rayner was similar 12 months ago. Those people look stupid now.

Rumours more like it.

A report should contain a direct quote or sound bite from the player or players involved.

St’s were on an upward trajectory until this year, almost made the finals last year.
No way they get a PP.

Exactly not a chance they get PP

Likely similar to the Rayner situation.
We are so sensitive to the GHF that we tend to blow these things out of proportion

 

[Nunez]

I wouldn't be surprised if we got an end of first rounder if we finish third last.

 

[BuntonRules]

3 chances - buckleys, none and fu@k all.

It's an interesting one if we were to lose Beams. The VIC media narrative lately is that we are an exciting team on the rise. Does losing Beams have an effect on that in their eyes?

Despite our progress made this year we are still the least winningest team over the last 5/10 years.

I'd say we don't get one but a case could be mounted on pure stats especially if Carlton -who have won 3 more games than us in the last 5 years and 19 more games over the last 10 years- were to get one.

+ zero, zilch and nada.

 

[Lions Lions]

There are qualifications clubs must meet in order to get a priority pick and that includes games won over a two and three year period. So stkilda would be no chance. If we didnt win another game we may be a chance for one. Although given our improved form i doubt we would get one.
