There was also a lot of flight risk talk.Fogarty slid because he didn’t go on in his draft year like people thought, didn’t make a move into the midfield like people predicted the year before, and was rubbish during champs possibly because of a knee complaint and because his position at afl level was somewhat undefined.
Clubs have been, mostly, going safe in the top 10 of late.
Stephenson was a potential number 1 candidate too prior to his heart thing coming out.
All comes down to how clubs will judge Lukosius' attitude to playing outside SA.
He may be a clear #1, but a clear #1 that is going to walk out 2 or 3 years later to go home is not worth the hassle.
I'd rather go a pick 2 or 3 option that is likely to stay than the clear cut best player who may leave before he even gets going.
