2018 Draft thread

I'm 5/5 on predictions so far (read: guessing).

Pick 6 I have Caldwell, so much more of a risk.

What are Lukosius' and Rankine's faces suggesting they are feeling about going to GC?

 

[Tom14]

I respect Gold Coast sticking to their guns and not being spooked out of selecting rankine and Ben King. Still have a horrible feeling they will both go after 2 years though.

Shame they dont have their mouthguards handy tonight.

Hang on, where's that edit button.

Ben King seems pretty timid in the contest

Like this crap is just not on:


The fact that the AFL did nothing about draftee contracts during the last CBA negotiations was such a joke.

DOgs trading pick 7! Finally something happening.

 

[Lions Flag 2020]

Gold Coast have three stars. Good on them.

 

[jackess]

Will be interesting when Blakey gets a bid

 

[Sproj]

Wow neither of the picks 2 or 3 sounds at all excited about being at the Coast.

 

[scoman]

Live trade Live trade Live trade!

Hahahahaha it was a totally random trade between the swans and West Coast.

 

[jackess]

Sydney and west coast have swapped picks

 

[Harris Specter]

Bailey Smith gets his wish

I thought Lukoshiush (Yeah, that'll do), sounded pretty positive. Although, he might just be a more polished media performer than Rankine.

Dogs traded pick 26 to west coast for a future third??????

 

[spotthedog1]

I expect that Swans had that trade teed up - waited to get past pick 6, when the discount would mean that they could afford it without that pick. Then bank the points for next year.

A weird one on the face of it but makes total sense as 26 was going to be wiped out with Blakey. Could potentially use the 2019 pick to trade back in after the blakey bid too.

 

[spotthedog1]

Adelaide bid on... Thomas?

Still WCE got an absolute bargain there

 

[Comeback Lions]

Great for us that Thomas bid is early. Didn’t think his Allies form warranted 8. 56 to slide forward.

Ooh, there's an interesting thought.

Sydney trade 26 for future third.
Blakey bid, Sydney pay with later picks.
Sydney trade future third and a pick swap in WC's favour for pick 26.

King actually sounds genuinely quietly positive. Lukosius so-so but boy, Rankine sounds like he already has one foot out the door.
