Surely something must be up with this guy. Had a good final year at the crows and they gave him up for a nothing pick. Clearly in Gold Coasts best players when he plays and gets delisted.

Yep 3rd in the comp for clearances and up there for contested ball averaging 25 touches a game.

You'd think he could be on most lists with those types of numbers.

Jarrod Lyons delisted as well. Not sure wtf Gold Coast are doing?
Not sure what the deal is with him. Clearly one of their better players. Delisted and not in the top 10 best and fairest. Only missed 3 games so would have thought he’d be top 10. Maybe some off field issues?

Clearly the poster child for not everything being about stats
 
The Lyons @ the Lions?

Because it's got nothing to do with how good he is, he's stayed in Melbourne his whole career.

Thought you were referring to staying with us, not the town.

No one is suggesting not drafting Western Aussies, just think its not a great idea to draft one who by the sounds of things is going to start halfway out the door and have bait dangled on his Western face for the entirety of his non-Weagles or Dockers career. If he's miles better than everyone else in the draft available at pick #23 or whatever we have, fine, but surely we have more options than him.
 
Spoke to my mate from GWS who is looking at their mock drafts. He says we could be in line to hit one of Stocker, Sturt or McLennan.

I know nothing of draft talent so you’ll have to excuse if I got a name wrong. Apparently any of those would be a great get with our first and if we can get two of those 3, we nail it.

If a bid comes for Bedford before 30 I’m not sure if we’d match. Might depend on who we’ve managed to pick prior. But appears from what I’ve read a bit could be around 35 onwards.

Later second to third round would be where the bid comes I think Mark.

I've got Geelong bidding for him later in the second in my most recent mock.

Think you'll miss the boat on Stocker but Sturt and McLennan would be around the mark.

Sturt is similar to what you have in Fritsch and Hannan unless they play more wing/ midfield.

McLennan would be a great pick if you want more rebouding defenders.
 
what's peoples thoughts on these guys?

Ely Smith
Xavier Duursma

I'm a big wrap for Smith whose risen a lot after the Combine.

Still probably later first round at earliest pick but he is the player I hope West Coast will draft with their first pick unless a better performer slides.

If it wasn't for the fact that the general consensus is that we already have a pretty stellar backline and midfield, I would've been first to start campaigning for Melbourne to get Duursma. He'll be a good get for another club, I just feel like he'd be stuck at Casey for the first season.

I read one article that said he'd be a good Heath Shaw replacement for GWS

Knightmare has a lot of the players being mentioned going well ahead of where we eneter the draft in his latest phantom of the first 2 rounds;

It has us taking McHenry and Stack, would be pretty handy if we could land these two.

My mate reckons the exact same thing.
