Seedsman?
Nah i was thinking more a guy that was not getting a real run at collingwood we brought over for a 2nd rounder and it worked out well. Not saying rankine would make that jump but he might?He was a mercurial, tantalising, high-talent underachiever?
Think more Hampton or Tambling.
On current form no thanks not worth a packet of burnt chipsHe could be worth a trade though. He may simply not have his heart in the Gold Coast. He could be keen on a home coming.

Fair call..i shoukd have said he was a guy that was not getting the best out of himself consistently and a change of environment helpedWas Seedsman a lazy, lairising showman who wouldn’t put in the work?

You want to elaborate or just be a w***er?Lol. Sure

Worked for GWSI'd still give our second for Rankine. Get him infront of a crowd at AO and who knows. Some of his under18 state form was incredible. The man has talent.
Agreed, he'd get less attention from opposition behind Rachele, he'd come into a Darren Burgess program as well as having competition from McHenry, Rowe to get a game. I think escaping those slippery GC conditions will also go a long way, he wouldn't be the first player to become instantly better after leaving (Prestia, Lynch, Brodie, Lyons, Scrimshaw to name a few).I'd still give our second for Rankine.

Stats say to me Rankine worth the risk, much more than Menzel ever was
Can anyone actually think of any high-talent players who, in recent times, coasted at their first club for a good four years without putting up consistent AFL performance, then actually went to another level at their second club?
I’m struggling

I wouldn’t say they ever ‘coasted’ on just talent, though. Brodie seems to be their version of Keays - finally found a role and situation where he can develop and flourish. Clark’s been building to this year as well, finally found consistent opportunityWill Brodie and Jordan Clark look like first round picks again now they are playing well at Freo.

Steven May never showed his current level at the Suns, was either injured or suspended most weeks.Can anyone actually think of any high-talent players who, in recent times, coasted at their first club for a good four years without putting up consistent AFL performance, then actually went to another level at their second club?

Both top 15 picks, interested to know what you consider 'high talent'. Seems like they've both showed at their new clubs the talent is there.Neither were high talent, low application guys
