Who are the five?

Kemp, Green, Anderson, Flanders & Rowell.

My next 5 would comprise: Robertson, Ash, Young, Serong & Sharp.

For swans, chatter that we are really into Kemp and Ryan Byrnes. Likely to put in a bid on Green if crows dont

I'm finding it difficult to comprehend the seeming universal consensus over Rowell & Anderson as the Top 2 picks....I find it difficult to split all 5...And to be perfectly blunt, I reckon Rowell has the least upside of them all.

 

[M Malice]

Sam Flanders and Brodie Kemp have massive upside even for probable top range draft selections IMO.

Trent Rivers and Elijah Taylor are 2 that I really like as well who could be later 1st round early 2nd round selections.

Who are the five?

Rowell, Anderson, Green... Serong? Kemp?...Flanders?

 

[Jack Richards]

Think the top 5 are
Rowell
Anderson
Serong
Green
Young/Ash/Flanders/Kemp

Makes you wonder if Kemp played the full season, would he be top 4? As that 5th spot is split

 

[Les Malone]

Very keen on Luke Jackson here in the West, its all 6PR sports commentators talk about, looks like he may go to GWS though.

A 199 cm ruckman seems a better prospect than the number 1 Vic boy Rowell who stands at 178 cm, i do get that height should not be a real determinant, but surely their are quite a few players at that height who would do the same thing as Rowell, not sure you can say the same for Jackson.

Why would the Crows pick Ash before homegrown Stephens? That makes zero sense to me.

I think Crows would choose a player like Stephens with no go home factor for a top 5 pick.
Help me out here Crow fans Yes/No?

He only moved to SA in year 9, boarding at St. Peter’s. Family still in Mildura.

Thanks for clarifying, so go home factor still an issue then.

Doubt it. He stayed in SA after graduating high school, doing first year Uni this year living with a mate.

Mildura closer to Adelaide than to Melbourne or Geelong

Put it this way, until there is an AFL team in Mildura, he will never be where he grew up.

Adelaide is closer than Melbourne, but really I doubt he’d be road tripping it. One hour flight either way. Adelaide has the obvious benefit of being where he went to school.

Whoever takes him will be getting a kid with a good head on his shoulders, a good kick and an absolute elite runner.

Adelaide Sam Flanders bookmarking! Geelong desperately want him. Hope we don’t trade pick get him a gun

Rowell looks like a Selwood clone to me. Just does everything well. Makes good decisions almost every time by hand or foot. Really clean and smart player. He's not an X factor player but he's a sure thing who plays well every single week. Would easily take him if Adelaide had pick 1.

I would love us to draft Kemp as he looks extremely classy as a tall inside midfielder. Obviously the worry is his knee injury and I'm concerned that the failure to recover from a similar injury this year by Durak Tucker may scare us away from him.

Thoughts on Chirgwin or Mellis? Just thinking of half decent mid options at 46.

I have Chirgwin in the 45-rookie range. Has had some good games this year but also some poor games where he has lacked that little bit of class. Speed isn’t his strong suit either so I think he will need to really bulk up so he can use the most of his size as an inside mid because he does lack that speed to be anything but a strong inside player.

Mellis isn’t a bad late option in the draft and just needs to find the right club that is willing to give him a shot as he does have some AFL traits but will be mostly as a forward i reckon.

 

[Mutineer]

What range do you see Thomson Dow going at Ed?

I get the feel he's been a little underrated, seems to have most bases covered for a midfielder.

Go home to Mildura?

Thoughts on freo at 7 & 10?

Jackson is over 200cm now.

Take the risk, especially due to Gulden and campbell next year. We are not challenging in 2020 so build for later. All IMO

 

[Davo-27]

Jackson is over 200cm now.

i read somewhere he was measured over 200cm at the combine, gives the doubters 1 less reason to discount him.

 

[Les Malone]

Jackson is over 200cm now.

Wouldn't everyone would like an extra cm or 2 !.

From what i have heard and seen i would pick him over Rowell every day of the week.

Can't see how Jackson gets to the Giants in this draft, given their picks & the Green bid, it's nigh on impossible for them to acquire him.
