Pretty interesting to read Connor Nutting might be a chance to be picked up by the Suns tomorrow. He seemed to perform well in the draft combine so he may have the attributes to make it. You just hope he turns out better than the last Broadbeach junior that showed superior physical abilities (Joel Wilkinson).

I am too but his running is shocking. Came last in the 2km.

Good option if avail at pick 41.

Running can be improved quite easily. We'll be lucky if he even makes it to 19. Would be very disappointed if we passed on him.
 
and moreso knowing where to run, Sam Mitchell can't run out of sight on a dark night but he knows where the ball is and how to create space
 
I'd be very surprised if any of the 2017 Draft Players make their AFL debuts in 2018. The club is very well situated as far as depth is concerned and these guys were drafted for development.
National Draft
#19 Wil Powell has been compared to Jack Martin and will probably take a year or two to fill out - with that said, where do you put an undersized midfielder?
#42 Charlie Ballard can also use a year in NEAFL to finish growing, he went from 180 to 195.5cm, and learn his craft - if he can become our first choice wingman, he fills a position of need.
#52 Brayden Crossley is already in the NEAFL system and developing as an undersized ruckman, but is 3rd or 4th in the Ruck Division and will probably continue playing forward and 2nd tap
#55 Connor Nutting could be the next Jesse Joyce, and he's already got a few fans in this forum, but we already have a JJ so he'll remain in the NEAFL, probably for a couple of seasons.
Rookie Draft
#2 Josh Jaska is a top-age player, which bodes well for the Suns, but he'll be a very long way down the pecking order before an AFL debut comes along unless form and injury demand it.
#19 Nick Holman is no rookie and provides amazing depth - possibly doomed to be the next Mitch ?Hallahan, but has potential as a tagger and inside ball-winner.
#33 Mackenzie Willis is well above average as a NEAFL Player, but now I fear he can consider himself at the very bottom of the Suns list - I hope he can emerge as an AFL player this year.

Don’t let a North supporter catch you saying that. They’ve pretty much already got him locked into their 2019 best 22 squads.

It will be interesting to see who Bailey chooses though. He seems to have a pretty mature head on his shoulders and I think he will do what he thinks is best for him and not be too influenced by the old man.

Jesse Lonergan is one of the most divisive players outside of Aaron Hall. As a rookie, he was thrown in at the deep end for a few games in 2013, but missed most of the season through injury. Bluey used him a lot as a sub and it really didn't suit him in 2014, and he played as a tagger/slash inside mid, but without Ablett the team couldn't get anything going.

In 2015, Eade put him in defence and he was hot garbage until he got switched into the midfield and got given tagging roles against some of the best in the comp - Boak, Dangerfield, Cotchin, Priddis, Heppell - and displayed his talents for the tag after being towelled up earlier in the season.

In 2016, he started the year brilliantly, just like the Suns and managed his 30th successive match before he came down with glandular fever, which just doesn't go away in a couple of weeks. Then he did his shoulder and had offseason surgery.

In 2017, Lonergan was benched for the first 5 games until getting a game against Norf, who predictably tested out his shoulder and put him out for another month. Came back in the middle of the year as injuries mounted and was fairly good before Eade dropped him for one match (who does that?) then after Lonergan was predictably poor for the next 2 games, Eade dropped him again for the NEAFL bye (only a useless dinosaur of a coach wanting the sack does that). So when Eade was fired and Solomon was tearing up game plans during his audition for the top job, Lonergan was tossed into an unfamiliar role and sucked at it.

IMHO, Lonergan deserved a lot better from Eade and the others at the selection table. They continually placed him on reserve for Gaz, never knowing if he'd play or not. Now he's the best tagger and arguably the best inside mid the Suns have, but he's been horribly coached and in his 6th season at age 23 he just needs an even break. With a full pre-season to get properly prepared physically and mentally, which he has only had once before in 2015 when he came up through NEAFL to play 30 straight games, I think Jesse Lonergan can be the surprise packet of 2018. He still might get traded, but how much he is valued at depends on his season.

Lonergan in my opinion is rubbish.. trade him and move on, knowing us though we will just delist him

We have another thread where we talk about Suns Academy players and who will be drafted next. I wrote this there, but I think it probably belongs here where Norf and Geelong fans will read it. And probably weep.

Looking at the Scott situation from a Draft standpoint, the Suns have the strongest hand at this stage. Given that the Cats, Roos and Suns all have to wait until season's end to find out draft order, the Suns odds are better with their gamble on West Coast's tumble down the ladder to give them a top 5 pick. A pessimistic observer would suggest that the Suns are going to get 2 Top 5 picks, while a cynic would say both top 2 spots will be Suns picks. Ever the optimist, I'll settle for West Coast drifting out of the Top 8 and the Suns surging in, while a realist would just say be happy with a couple of Top 10 picks or thereabouts. I don't think anybody is predicting a Gold Coast - West Coast Grand Final though, so 2 late first rounders is fairly improbable.

The Suns are stacked for 2nd rounders with 2 picks in the 20s and 30s, after Geelong gave us theirs and we gave West Coast our own, with the other coming from the Bombers. Going on 2017 form, the Suns 2nd rounders will be in the 30s.

So, unless Geelong Trade for picks before the next Draft, their Draft position will be 1 first rounder, 2 third rounders and 2 fourth rounders.

North will have a first, a second, 2 thirds (from West Coast and St Kilda) and a fourth.

The Suns have 2 firsts, 2 seconds, 2 thirds, and 2 fourths (perhaps much more if Lynch gets traded).

Geelong will want to spend their top pick wisely because right now that's their only pick in the top 40, possibly top 50 if they go deep in finals again. I haven't seen Bailey Scott rated in Top 20 predictions, so I question why the Cats would rate him worth the pick when they will be sweating on Sam Walsh falling to them as well as Lochlan Hocking, Oscar Brownless and Baxter Mensch are other father sons in their sights.

North are looking at trying to land 3 father sons in Bailey Scott, Joel Crocker and Nick Blakey, while they also and have their own Academy Prospect in Tarryn Thomas, but I'd suggest the Scott is 3rd on their board and could drop lower.

The Suns have 6 picks in the first 3 rounds and by far the most ammunition to go after Bailey Scott. I really hope we do, even if it means paying more than anyone else is willing to pay. I don't believe the Suns will actually need to use all 8 picks on 8 players, so we should have the capability of out-bidding either rival without necessarily destroying the rest of our draft strategy.

The other factor is the 20% points value discount, which is why I believe the Suns are sitting pretty. Even if Bailey Scott races up draft chart predictions, he will still not need to be bid for until late first round or early second. This will also be impacted by the total buttload of father son and talent academy players bound to flood this year's draft, with Next Generation Academies now producing potential high Draft picks with clubs able to match bids as well as the Northern States.

Bailey Scott might not even rate for Geelong or Norf in this Superdraft.

But isn't all that irrelevant considering he will nominate one club? The two who he doesn't choose will back off completely and he becomes just another player in the draft.

Nicely worded in terms of your pick order, but if he selects a club over the others it becomes largely irrelevant what picks you have as the nominated club moves into any position an opposition makes a bid. I still have you guys in front, most academy products side with their club. But effectively you could have the first 30 picks in the draft, but if he only nominated North or Geelong you’d never get him (unless they decline to match)

North rate Scott ahead of Crocker at this stage and Blakey is very much expected to be at the Swans.

You guys have it a little backwards. First the clubs have to officially signal their intentions to nominate him as either Father/Son or Academy. In order to nominate, you have to have picks in place. Geelong doesn't have enough and Norf hasn't got much more. That could change if either or both clubs Trade players or future picks in order to nominate Bailey Scott, who isn't actually rated that highly in the Draft mocks I've seen.

There is no real precedent here, so it is all speculation.

'As part of the NAB AFL Academy's program, Scott spent time at all three clubs towards the end of last season but says any decision on his preference is far from being made.

"I'm not bothered. Basically, after the footy season it will come down to whether any of the clubs nominate me or not, and if more than one does then there's a decision for me to make. If not, then there's no decision to make," Scott told AFL.com.au.

"There's no factors, wherever I end up I'd be happy with that. Even outside of those clubs, if none of them chose to nominate me and I was drafted somewhere else I'd be happy. The goal is to be on an AFL list and then hopefully playing AFL games early on at whatever club wants me and wants to help me develop."'

So far, Bailey Scott has done all of the right things, duly visiting Norf and the Cats, saying what his manager says to say and giving away nothing. Officially, he says that his choice will come down to who nominates him. I find it unlikely that all 3 clubs will be in a position to do so. Geelong simply have too many choices to be throwing only pick away - I see them trading out of the first round for enough picks to nominate their other Father/Sons or just choosing Sam Walsh if he falls that far.

As for Norf, it is clear that Blakey will be choosing between Sydney and Brisbane no matter how much the Roos like him. The difference with Blakey is that his father has current involvement in the club he currently plays for. Influential involvement. As the Age eloquently put it - Young Guns, but not Sons of Guns. Robert Scott hates Norf for making him miss out on winning a second GF.

Right now, he's back where he's always been, training with the Gold Coast Suns NEAFL squad getting ready for another season. This will be his second season playing for Suns2, with 4 rookies from the Talent Academy drafted last season. He's with his mates and playing adult level footy in a side that is stacked with depth and talent. I'm not even worried that he'll leave.

Last year Geelong Cashing picks into multiple later picks for points in this years draft works better for multiple father sons. If geelong nominate him, along with Gold Coast, he will then have the right to choose, we’re your pick sits and how many are not that important. You can stockpile as much as you want but if you’re not his nomination all you could do is try to force an early bid from us with one of your picks, if Geelong are happy to pay that value they can, even if they go into negative for that round the following year.

North would have the picks for Thomas, Crocker and Scott, but I would suggest that North would have to dip into the 2019 draft picks and trade them in for some 2018 points to make it happen. North rates young Scott FWIW and Geelong definitely have a keen interest in him as does GC.

I wouldn't be so sure on Robert Scott hating the North part, they gave him a premiership, happily played for North after in 2000, he's good mates with the 1996-1999 boys and Geelong dumped him in the 1994 finals series and dumped from their list, but I wouldn't take much stock in a tabloid like whisper at the end of an article just yet. With Blakey more than likely heading to Sydney, North aren't going to give up on a F/S prospect, so they would nominate him, but the trend is location trumping heritage at the moment, so GC may very well be favourites as you've said, but nothing is certain as of yet, North have a habit of drafting/attracting academy players from QLD.

Nicely put. I'm aware of that, but it doesn't do my point any good to highlight it. However, what I'm getting at here is that Scott's choice is as he says himself, only between those clubs that nominate him. If Geelong nominate him at all I'm going to be surprised. If Norf nominate him, he's going to be surprised.

He's staying put.
