lol I recognise one of those names and I don't think she features on television

Lol, Jennifer Aniston.

I don't know who Nicole Aniston is, I'll have to google it & then do some research.

Yes, research.

Walsh seems like a very nice bloke.

Is the five minutes mandatory? Why not give choosing club an option to lock in an anonymous selection, every club an option to pass or offer and if selection is locked and no offers move on to the next club?

Because they will take advantage of the breaks to pad out the coverage.

****ing live pass just spinning the wheel.... graghhh

Everyone has said character wise he's absolute top notch. Probably the type and personality Suns needed more than Carlton.

Makes sense.

So on trade radio, they are saying the need to talk up the Gold Coast while talking it down and saying everyone else is talking it down.

The AFL really needs a proper hot take draft analyst to make this coverage even slightly bearable - it is going to be such a long night. At least with the NFL I can get mad/laugh at stuff Mel Kiper says.

Hope Lukosious and Rankine stay on board long term. Could make for some exciting Q-Clashes.

 

[jackess]

Rankine won't stay

Would be very surprised if either of them stick around longer than one to two years.

 

[pulpdriver]

Rankine won't stay

Definitely the vibe but they've got two years to get him to buy in. Might be able to convince him.

 

[Comeback Lions]

Wow, those King boys look like twins!

 

[pulpdriver]

Wow, those King boys look like twins!

I'm seeing double here: four Kings!

If I was the suns I'd be hoping the crows have a decent first rounder in 2 years

 

[Harris Specter]

Poor kid getting drafted to St Kilda.

 

[JakePeralta]

I hope they stay. I want GC to be competitive and Luko, Rankine will definitely help them.

This will be the first real test for the new culture & administration of the club. Looking forward to seeing if Dew & Evans can do the same for the Suns as Fagan and Swann & Noble did for us. I hope they can.

 

[jackess]

Pretty happy to get Neale. Nobody left screams out as an elite midfield talent

 

[pulpdriver]

I hope they stay. I want GC to be competitive and Luko, Rankine will definitely help them.

From a development perspective it would help us too for the Suns to be strong when we are. If you've got two Queensland teams up and about, playing finals with heated clash matches then interest is gonna skyrocket, gonna get more kids interested at grassroots and then boost the output from both academies.

 

[KissKiss]

Gee I hope he stays but Rankine doesnt sound that thrilled on the radio. I guess he isnt media trained yet but still doesnt sound happy

 

[pulpdriver]

Here's where it will get interesting. Do Suns take King or Caldwell?

 

[briztoon]

lol Rankine on SEN. He won’t stay beyond 1 year.

 

[Bobby Beecroft]

Interesting that the AFL draft tracker announced Rozee about 2 minutes before it was on the live Fox Footy Coverage.
Great spoiler.
