1. JACK LUKOSIUS
Clubs: Woodville-West Torrens/South Australia

Position: Key Forward

Size: 194cm, 85kg

Bio: The key forward is a ‘once in a generation’ prospect and is arguably the best player we’ve seen in the Under 18 system for a long time. Lukosius has the ability to play as a key defender, and even pushed up onto the wing at times in the Under 18 Championships. He is one of the best kicks in the draft pool and marks well overhead. You’d be a brave recruiting manager to overlook the South Australian with the first selection in November’s draft, with one club recruiter declaring the club with the No. 1 pick would be “crazy” to not pick him.

4. BAILEY SMITH

Clubs: Sandringham Dragons/Vic Metro

Position: Midfield

Size: 185cm, 82kg

Bio: Started as a half back last year but has transitioned to a full-time midfielder in 2018. Smith can run all day and has the ability to outwork his opponents when games are on the line late in the last quarter. The Vic Metro MVP finds the ball in the contest and is a good ball user. He has the ability to push forward and hit the scoreboard, booting three goals for Vic Metro against Vic Country. He was one of Metro’s standouts in their loss to South Australia, where he had 22 disposals, seven clearances and six tackles. He looks ready to go and should see AFL action in 2019. Could be a smoky for the No. 1 pick.

5. BEN KING

Clubs: Sandringham Dragons/Vic Metro

Position: Key Defender/Key Forward

Size: 201cm, 85kg

Bio: The twin brother of Max King is also set to find a home inside the top 10 come draft night. Since his brother’s injury, Ben has been a mainstay down forward, booting goals for Vic Metro in the Under 18 Championships, finishing the carnival with a four goal haul against South Australia. King has booted over 30 goals in just over a handful of games for Haileybury College in the APS school football competition. Like his brother, King is athletic and keeps his feet in the contest, marking well overhead and works hard at ground level.

6. IZAK RANKINE

Clubs: West Adelaide/South Australia

Position: Forward/Midfield

Size: 180cm, 76kg

Bio: Exciting with a capital E. Rankine is capable of eye-catching displays and there aren’t too many games where Rankine doesn’t produce a highlight. He’s a player that you would pay money to go watch and it’d be a surprise to see him not win the mark or goal of the year during his AFL career. His first quarter against Vic Metro in the final round of the Under 18 Championships was simply stunning, booting three goals — including one out of mid-air. Rankine has SANFL League football experience, where he has shown his class and smarts around goal.

12. CURTIS TAYLOR

Clubs: Calder Cannons/Vic Metro

Position: Half forward/Midfielder

Size: 186cm, 79kg

Bio: Taylor is similar in nature to Cameron Rayner that he has the ability to play up forward and clunk contested marks against his opposite number. Taylor has shown he can hit the scoreboard and is a comfortable player inside 50, but he can push through the midfield and has shown at TAC Cup level he can impact a game in the middle of the ground. Taylor is a nice long kick and doesn’t need to have a lot of disposals to hurt the opposition.

13. CONNOR ROZEE

Clubs: North Adelaide/South Australia

Position: Midfielder/Forward

Size: 185cm, 71kg

Bio: The North Adelaide midfielder would’ve been disappointed with his Under 18 Championships, producing a down effort on what would’ve been expected from the half forward/midfielder. However, he showed enough of his key traits to suggest he is still well and truly worth a first-round selection. Rozee saved his best to last, with 18 disposals, four clearances and a goal in SAs win over Vic Metro. He’s a good ball user and can hit the scoreboard when he plays across half forward. Rozee looks most damaging when he is around the ball and he possesses good footy smarts.

17. XAVIER DUURSMA

Clubs: Gippsland Power/Vic Country

Position: Half Back/Midfield

Size: 185cm, 71kg

Bio: The Gippsland Power prospect has overcome early injuries at the start of the year and has put together a strong carnival in the midfield and across half back for Vic Country. His match on the big stage in the big Victorian clash at the MCG saw Duursma standout as one of Country’s best players with 19 disposals, seven inside 50s and five clearances. He is a strong mark overhead and reads the play well across half back.

14. NED MCHENRY

Clubs: Geelong Falcons/Vic Country

Position: Midfielder/Forward

Size: 178cm, 71kg

Bio: McHenry is an exciting small midfielder/forward who cracks in hard in the contest and is willing to tackle hard to win the ball back. Not only is Ned a good football player, but he potentially is the ‘Jack Higgins’ of the 2018 pool — with the Geelong Falcons player being a star media performer in his own right, hosting his own ‘Ned’s Falcons Files’ TV show on the Falcons’ Facebook page. If an AFL career doesn’t word out for Ned, a media career beckons

No more small midfielders please

 

[Peel67skin]

No more small midfielders please

185 cm is not small , your Big Scrimshaw , Brodie are not playing AFL and Young is 188 cm and slow as snail . You need good disposal and footy smart player not big but hack the ball forward all the time midfielder. Mitchell and O Mera are not big mid , crotchin 185 cm , mccluggage 186 .

[GCStormie]

If i were in charge of recruiting Top pick gets best available midfielder.
Every other pick gets best available forward the sooner sexton, macpherson, holman etc are replaced with guys that are natural forwards rather than midfielders made to play forward the better.
Millions of mids on the list already, sure they mightn't all be top grade mids but at least we have some, unlike forwards.

GC do have forward but they are playing everywhere ,Ah Chee , Martin all playing HB at some time. There are different type of midfield too ,some can only play inside or outside , balance (inside and outside) type will be better

Ill give you Ah Chee, (though i dont think theres any guarantee he'll make it to anything more than a solid 'b' grade forward. hope he does.)

Martin is my pet peeve. recruited as a mid, has all the skills to be a jet outside midfielder (which GC dont have, since Bennell left) got dumped in the forward line when we had depth in the midfield/he was young/we had no forwards. has been there so long now everyone thinks he's just a forward and use the fact hes there as part of the justification for GC not needing additional forwards/GC already having good forwards.

After
Lynch (leaving?)
Wright
Ah Chee
Ainsworth (is he more a mid already?)
Martin (really should be a mid)
Young (is he AFL Grade?)

who are your forwards?
Sexton?
Lemmens? (he's never going to kick you a score - just adds pressure... to the other forwards to kick the goals)
Day?

 

[17er]

The Suns are thin in the forward line, so I'd be targetting Rankine and Scott. They also provide midfield options, which will become more important later in their careers.
Don't put too much stock into these mock drafts which don't even have Bailey Scott in their Top 30. Fox sport list way too many Vic Metro guys who Scott ran rings around and make excuses for their picks being rubbish. A lot of those guys are already claimed too or have declared an allegiance somewhere, which is why I'm not interested in Sam Walsh - if we have the pick to trade, why not go all Freo on the Lions arses and demand a high price if we are trading out of #2 or #3? With live trading we can move around in the first round with our draft capital and willing partners.

Where is the link he is not in Top 30 ? He is around late first round and early second , if a bid come in North , Geelong or GC will only need their second or third round to match, therefore he is not in top 25 list .

 

[Rabbito1994]

What do you guys think of this...
Assuming Lynch lynch leaves you, how about Bruce & Dunstan or Bruce and Newnes to Suns for their Second 1st round pick and possibly a second or third rounder? Eagles pick probably 13-14 by years end.

I'd imagine suns would love a hard body in Dunstan and a big body forward in Bruce.

Would you do it?

Seriously? Then why are Nick Blakey, Tarryn Thomas, Isaac Quaynor, and Rhylee West all named in Fox Sports' Top 20?? And why are you asking me to provide a link when you've been quoting the same link all morning???

Would you do your first round pick this year for Sam day (Bruce ) and Young ( Dustan) ?
Sam Day a top 5 pick .

Top 20 and Top 30 is a lot of different dude . That's why I ask you do provide the link. You like to twist thing around a lot .

As Scott Clayton was purportedly told innumerable times, this one's not for you.

Jesus wept!

 

[Peel67skin]

Jesus wept!

Hahahahahaha you are so full on with yourself . Don't even know th difference between top 20 and Top 30.. if you are wrong just admit it . If the link I provide is top 30 I will admit my fault .Nothing to do with wept or not wept .

 

[Rabbito1994]

Would you do your first round pick this year for Sam day (Bruce ) and Young ( Dustan) ?
Sam Day a top 5 pick .

Probably not. We need pacey mids and x-factor. Our defence is pretty well stocked.

 

[Peel67skin]

What happen to Bruce look like he is delisted material compare to last two seasons , even battle look better than him . The current Bruce had no confident at all .

Yeah not sure. Thinks its just confidence. He looked ok in round 1 & 2 this year. Think last year he struggled as he was the main man down forward with Riewoldt either injured or on a wing more.
Think he'll get back to his best but just needs a good run at it and confidence back.

Would help if he had players that can kick the ball to his advantage too.

 

[Peel67skin]

That is the main problem GC have this year don't think giving up high draft pick for Bruce and Dustan are ideal or help GC.

Are you high? You sound high. I think you're high, but I'll pass because whatever you are smoking is impairing your ability to understand some very simple concepts.

You are now nattering on about this Top 20/25/30 stuff while completely ignoring the fact that you said "if a bid come in (for Bailey Scott) North , Geelong or GC will only need their second or third round to match, therefore he is not in top 25 list ." and refuse to acknowledge that you are completely wrong. It is irrelevant which list. Scott isn't on any I've seen today and it isn't for reasons you've outlined.

He is selected in AA U18 , that is more important , people watched more U18 than you and Me . These people actually talk to club Recruiter , please stop being a know it all , what wrong with you that keep telling everybody wrong and you are right all the time .

* If you look back all your post how many times you telling people they are wrong.

[Jirik13]

Looking good for Suns Lukosius and Rankine pick 2 and 3. Eagles pick midfielder like RCD, Scott, Graham, Koenan.

17er and Peel...that’s enough you two.
Your squabble isn’t even entertaining.
Move on...nothing to see here.
