Who is on your wish list Bird ?
Good question! I probably still have Rankine as the man, Smith probably not far behind now though. Walsh probably looks the safest of those three, but his kicking doesn’t excite me.

There's a guy who plays for Murray Bushrangers called Riley Bice. I say we get him and play him next to Bailey Rice just to screw with the commentators.
I know there is still plenty of time left to prove things but I’m just worried that rankine will be nothing more than a small forward and we desperately need midfielders. Is his kicking even elite? Looks a bit loopy at times. He actually reminds me a lot of Shai Bolton from the tigers who got taken around pick 25 and hasn’t done anything to say that he is going to be a good footballer yet. For a super draft there’s no one jumping out of the page for me yet but we will have a better idea after the champs I suppose

He's a lot more promising than Bolton, but yeah there seems t be a question over how many highlights he has vs how many blunders he has.

With the greatest respect Walsh is average kick.
Just watch 4 players in the championships who are fast who kick the ball well
Rankine ,Hill , Rozee , Hately
They are players we need , unfortunately due to Trout we may be get one.

What are your thoughts on Smith?
Has a nice kick, has plenty of speed and wins contested footy.

We are in another 3 year rebuild for mine.
For me if he is there Rankine then daylight .
Only hope is we trade to somehow get back into draft early and in interim have a crack at Gaff & Sloane.
Long term would be trying to get uncontracted players with outside speed ..Menadue , Bolton , Markov
Drew
I like the look of rozee. Good size with speed and composure. Kicks goals and good on the ground or above his head. Already playing against men in the sanfl and holding his own. Only question mark may be his ball winning ability and his inside game
Sab22
Captain
Our inside mids can feed him.

Sum rankine pls
Collier dawkins is exactly what we need. P cripps 2.
Definitely top 10 at this stage, possibly top 5

Smith sounds like what we have in spades. Good solid citizen types who lack the excitement factor. Rankine looks like electric glitter, the campaigner makes me want to watch footy again. We need some X factor types that can rise above Richo's snooze fest, grinding game plan. Luko if we get pick one, Ranko if we get pick 2 IMO. * the boring types.

I'd very much be open to the idea of trading pick 2/3 for two later top 10-12 picks, seems like there will be quality all the way down to there at this stage.
Probably also worth asking North if they'd swap this years first for ours next year if it looks as though they'll have to use it on Thomas

In the national draft since 2012, have we drafted a natural onballer outside of Dunstan & Gresham?
Here's hoping Libba has an eye for pure modern day midfielders.
Our list would have to lack the most agility and spread in the comp.

Trout and Richo were both boring average players and want guys in their own mould. We will find a way to get some beige out of this draft somehow. Trout is still the boss.
Hunter Clarke
Overall that's 1 genuine mid for every 7 picks, or one every two years. Any wonder we have the worst midfield in the comp

He was a half back as well though. He was a HB that started to transition to the midfield.
