Thankfully greatness can't really be measured by stats.
You don't judge players like Ablett, Buddy, Martin, Rankin, Goodes, Lockett, Carey etc. on stats.
I mean, you sort of do?
If Ablett averaged 8 disposals and 0.1 a game would he still be considered one of the best because of the "the vibe"?

This is true... but there are very few of them, and loads and loads of others!Thankfully greatness can't really be measured by stats.

Saw a bit of footage of Buddy and Rankin at training, great to see. What a surreal feeling it must be to be sharing a track with the champion. Buddy must've been so star-struck.
well he picked past 30, so of course, he'll become the best player from the draft lol.Might only be me but IMO I think this kid will be a very good hbf
I reckon he will surprise a few and play a few next year amd have a similar track to jmac
I have been a jmac fan since the start so not saying he will be as good
Reckon he is a ripper
Play more games for the club than Stephens but the end I’m calling
Seriously, seriously you want us to answer that question?So nobody has posted about Lachie here since April. How do we see him? Who's bullish about him? Who isn't?
I'm in the wait and see camp. I thought he had a slow start to the season but improved. Looking forward to seeing what he can do in 2023.
Is he the only draftee from last year that has been extended already? Matty and Corey definitely extended two years each.
I reckon I'm probably no.2 in the fan club (came up with the byline for this thread). I wanted Chesser or Wilmot in that draft, but when we didn't get them, I was disappointed until we did an extra pick than was expected, for Rankin.Thanks very much for that. I haven't been following this forum very closely until recently, with the draft, and so I'm not aware what's been said about him (except I've seen passing references that I couldn't interpret in other threads) so I came here to look and found nothing.
I'm feeling lucky so I'll brace myself for some comments from caesar88. Is he the one who seems to like Lachie? Or the opposite?
FWIW, I chatted with Lachie a couple of times early last season and IIRC he said to me that the contested part of the game is not his favourite but it's a non-negotiable with the Swans so he was getting on board.
It was good to see him do well in the 2k this week - pushed Corey all the way.
I suspect Vickery may have been brought in to perform the role envisaged for Rankin. Fairly similar. Both "neat" players.Thanks very much for that.

I doubt it's a matter of replacing Rankin, but just getting in a few players and hoping at least one or two make it. Particularly the defensive side, where we've had COR leave, Cunningham lose form, and both he and Fox getting on.I suspect Vickery may have been brought in to perform the role envisaged for Rankin.

I saw one game this season and I was surprised how solid Rankin is IRL. Seemed very competent but who knows how he performs against the coaches markers.

Corey, like Chad, seems to thrive in the Swans environment. A big and visible improver over the year. Still a twig, but hard.No. 2 - after caesar88?
Our taste in last year's draft was very different. I was interested in Wilmot at one stage but not by the time draft night came around. Chesser held no appeal. Conversely I was keen to get both Sheldrick and Roberts - only I imagined them being chosen in reverse order. Couldn't believe Roberts slid to our second pick. For our third pick I was hopeful we would take Arlo Draper (Roberts' good mate) or else Zac Taylor but, even though both were available, we plumped for Corey Warner. So far Corey has outperformed my expectations. I was happy to get Rankin but he certainly wasn't the one I was happiest about - that was (and remains) Sheldrick.
Yep. He'll be along at some point to expand on my pitiful attempt at capturing the essence of the great man.No. 2 - after caesar88?
