2018 Draft thread

[Lace Out]

Looks and plays a bit like Selwood

Not a shot at you, just a general shot at some halfwits who read into a smile/no smile/mouthgard.

I back most clubs to know how big a flight risk a kid is before they draft them. Sometimes they have no choice but to take a bigger risk I.e. Gold Coast this year but as we’ve seen over the last 2-3 years if the culture is strong and players buy into the future success then they will stay

Agree Brett .C none of us know what personality he has as long as he can play that's all im concerned about

Could he be our year one Sam Powell-Pepper?

 

[Big Sauce 21]

He won't be a ducker. Might make a few duck though.

That's one unit you don't mess with. Lost count of the number of times he emerged with the pill in all those videos.

Lyons, Neale, Smith, Berry and Zorko. Leather poisoning on order for Brisbane Lions 2019 center square.

Ely is ying to Rayner's yang

And here he is, practically turning cartwheels after winning the John Byrne medal.

Notice his right side of the mouth is very slightly upturned.

So the bloke in the left is Ely right? I always think of draftees as skinny pimply kids. In this photo he looks a mid 20s take no bullshit type. I'm happy with that.

[BRAB]

Twitter saying an interview coming soon

 

[irel]

Ah,there we go.

No mouth-guard as well. All's well peeps.

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

Ely and Stocker. Very happy we got the guy on the left!

 

[Hollow Knight]

Ah,there we go.

Yeah hopefully that calms down the drama addicts and we can talk about the exciting footballer we just added to our list.

 

[Milpool]

Looks like a great pick up! Excited to see him hit the training paddock.

Agree. I remember when we drafted Polec, I was thinking, yeah in about two to three years he'll be able to hold is own as a footballer. Here I am looking at Smith thinking damn, he looks like he could split anyone in two. Fearsome.

Looks a happy-go-lucky fella!

At least the suns boys are cracking a smile. Go qld.

 

[Lace Out]

Can’t stop watching that little video clip.

This is a ****ing inspired choice.

 

[Ironmonger]

He's smiling now.

Goddamit, he's clearly hiding something!

Gap year on the Gold Coast? Who wouldn't be smiling.

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

Was bloody tedious waiting though. What a bizarre arrangement tonight was.

Doesn’t seem to be a massive flog though which makes him much better than SPP

 

[Saucery]

They compared him to a Jobe Watson type but with physical attributes Jobe never had . Also have a feeling we are gonna love this kid and have no doubt with culture that fagan and noble has created that he will be a long term lions player . Also has a box country kid he would of left home anyway to play in Melbourne so as far as I’m concerned makes absolutely no difference. Lions would have done due diligence on him no doubt .

I've noticed a lot of country kids seem to like the fact that in Brisbane you don't have to drive through 2 hrs of suburban wastelands to actually be in the country side , unlike Melbourne nowadays.

So if gc fly them up tomorrow for a look see do they get to go to a few schoolies functions? Gotta get the Coast lifestyle happening.
