Rankine and Walsh if we end up with #2 and #3
Then Bailey Scott

Ohh stop it, I’m getting stirrings in my loins.

 

[Peel67skin]

Rankine , Walsh , Bailey smith, Lukosius, Ben king . 2 out of 5 not too bad .

 

[Suns of Anarchy]

Maybe he has a sister who’s never played a game of footy that we can sign up to our AFLW team

Or maybe Eddie can get his girlfriend a plum role in media. Oh that’s for GWS players going to Colllingwood only. I forgot.

The problem is they're not drafting men anymore like they used to 10-15 years ago they're now drafting boys who are not mature in their thinking.

The problem is when you have 10 vfl clubs in the ears of the players selling them dreams to come home and play in front of friends and family and being able to get back on mummys boob like Essendon into Adam saad saying come to us

Rankine all reports a massive flight risk.

Do we back him in to come up here and turn it around for him? Or do we avoid at all costs?

Would be great even if he came up for 2 years, lit the place up. Might stay if we looked like we were in finals contention, or then move him back to Adelaide and get a kings ransom for him? If he has an amazing 2 years he may be worth a pick 1 or more?

It is a massive gamble though.

Walsh will be an amazing player for whoever picks him up. Fingers crossed it is us.

I know you guys probably need a decent sized mid as a priority, but do you think taking both Kings if Lynch leaves might be the right move?

It’s clearly hard to hang onto players up there atm and keeping these two together may be a smart move.

Isn't one of them a defender? We don't need one of those, atleast at the top of the draft. We need mids that are versatile before replacing Lynch. Wright, Day and Crossley is enough for now unless one slides.

He’s the guy that kicked 4 goals tonight. Plays at either end of the ground.

I get your point though. I think you need a bit of size and strength in the midfield also.

What's the other one then? I would assume if we drafted one we wouldn't draft the other which would create problems if he went to a Melbourne club

The other is a key forward. Max was meant to be the pick of them and looked a possible pick one before doing his ACL.

Ben was a CHB and went forward this year after Max went down but has looked terrific up front.

Both very mobile big men. Very interested to see where they go.
If they slide which is possible due to the needs of the bottom clubs, someone has got a massive steal.

I'd be surprised if they went to the same club. Same state maybe

I think Max is currently rehab at your club , will be good for St Kilda to draft him and later made a play for Ben after two year end with club that draft him . I think better both stayed at Melbourne with different club eg Bulldog ,Hawthorn ,St Kilda than with GC due to go home double blow factor .

To me it would make sense if you end up with picks 2 and 3 or whatever. Take a mid with your West Coast pick.

Huge opportunity to get two highly rated players that will want to play together and likely to stay at the club.

 

[OB11]

If we end up with pick 2 and 3 and Rankine is in your top 3 you tell him in the interview that your taking him and tell him that under no circumstances will we ever trade him back to Adelaide.

If Adelaide want him let them make a godfather offer to us before the draft, otherwise we are keeping him. After today's performance there is no chance he will drop to their 1st pick unless they trade up.

Scared money don't make money.

Nah , quality mid like Hodge ,judd , mccluggage , Taranto in top 5 are a lot different then top 11-15 .

It's a very poor list fit - our midfield is historically poor and I imagine it will be a priority to fix with an influx of top end talent.

If we take the mids the Saints will likely have the pick of the King brothers. Who do the Saints want probably at #5?

Last spring we spent our time typing away and frothing over getting Rayner or LDU or Cerra and what happened after all that????

We got LWeller

Maybe this year Collingwood Thomas for Llynch combo pick

No idea at this stage. We have a few different holes to fill. I would think a Rankine would suit but can’t see him making it that far now. I think a lot will change after the trade period.
