I honestly don't think Rozee is an issue. Already moved down to Adelaide from his home in the country. Apart from the other vagaries of keeping footballers happy ($$$, success, development etc), I think he's a safe bet.
I think Lukosius is pretty much locked in at this point. Supposedly Rankine actually interviewed quite well with us but still expect us to take Rozee. the issue for us being though that Rozee at 3 is a bit of a reach, but he’ll probably get taken at 5 by port if Rankine is off the board which makes it difficult for us to navigate. I imagine we’ll take him at 3 regardless to make sure we get him and then take someone like Smith at 6 - someone with massive leadership potential

Besides the go home factor there is also the issue that he seems to be a me first, cocky player. I’m not that is a great fit in a team sport

He's not a selfish player at all. If it appears that way it may be because he's a small forward with a goal sense that is uncanny. You wouldn't mind him having the shots and missing because of the shots he nails that he has no right to get. It's still team work if you're the one on the end of the handball or mark inside 50, but it's the possessions you don't see where he's playing his role in the team which are too boring for highlights reels.
What if he becomes the next Luke Power?
Actually listening to Cal Twomey speaking, he said he usually can tell if a player won’t want to move interstate or will come home early, said he hears it from Bailey Smith but hasn’t noticed it at all with Rankine. Measures up well with what we’ve heard about him as well. Starting to think we may go
If we had 2-3 A grade mids already then I’d be all over the Kings like a cheap suit.
Nothing is set in stone. Carlton could turn around and pick Bailey Smith at number #1 because he interviewed well and they find out that Sam Walsh hates their guts and will seek a trade to the Lions after 2 years. Carlton don't need Lukosius or Rankine, although they have an excellent history of recruiting South Australians, nor do they want either of the Kings. Or maybe they get an offer too good to refuse and trade out of 1st place because they just aren't any good at choosing 1st anyway. The Suns could trade out of #2 and or #3, the Saints could trade out of #4, or nothing could happen.
I agree , ideally I would like to have ,Lukosius , Rankine and Smith /Rozee/ Caldwell . But let's look at the worse scenario the king twins , Caldwell ,Rozee, Smith , liam stocker, Duurma or Hately . The king twins could well be the future replacement for Thompson ( 28 next year) and Sam Day ( 27 next year) if they stayed longer than 4 Years .
If you are Port recruiters your job on the line would you swap pick 5,10 for pick 1. I wouldn't.
Silvagni is too stubborn in regards to trades imo. I honestly doubt he would even consider that as an option. He’d want 5, 10 and another pick between 10 - 15 to even consider. He makes dodoro look easy to deal with
YES
Can't wait until draft night ,I think GC keep 2,3,6 and Draft some Vic country boys at 24,29 .
Just a scenario , people can choose to believe it or not .All of us had no idea what Craig Cameron would do in draft night .
