Another way of looking at it - Stephens is, as discussed plenty, just as capable of playing on ball. How many left-footers do we have there at the moment?

Class of 2019: Caleb Serong
The likely top-10 pick has traits similar to Port Adelaide star Robbie Gray
His highlights are as much of him tackling as they are of him getting the ball.
He averaged 8.5 tackles a game at the champs!!! (IIRC)
He's an aggressive, competitive little bugger.

If Melbourne, GWS and Sydney are all to stupid to not pick up Young then we should trade with Adelaide to swap pick 9 for pick 6. Freo will 100% take Young he is the type of player they need.
Adelaide trade picks 6, 23,45 and our future 4th for pick 9 and our future 1st.
Adelaide then have 3 first round picks next year and can still pick up McAsey.
We can pick up Young (6), De Koning (23) and with 43 and 45 get the best 2 small forwards at those picks hopefully Taylor and Taheny
This gives us Simpson replacement, 2x De Koning to take over from Kreuzer and give us 2 small forwards to lean from Betts.

Not sure Crows can afford to keep moving picks into future years.

Swans should take him at 5 to get ready to trade us Papley next year. He would be good long term replacement for Papley to their playing stocks.

Am I right in assuming there will be meltdowns on this board tomorrow night, no matter whom we take at pick 9 ?
I am Caleb Serong fan, but for some reason,i feel like there will be a few unhappy campers if we pick him up. Thing is, I don't think we can go wrong with a player of his characteristics and competitiveness, and he just seems like the best fit for us and our current list demographic. But I am not a massive or avid draft class watcher like many of the other learned contributers on this forum.

I don't think we can say with any certainty that we will get Papley next year. We will be the benefactors this year of picking up a player who 12 months ago asked for a trade to *, which shows how quickly things can change.
Given this, I think Serong is a smart selection.

If we pick Serong while Stephens or Young are still on the board I'll be disappointed, but not full melt levels of upset. Serong is a fine selection and it's hard to see him being a bad AFL player, but I just think there are prospects at our pick that are much more likely to be good or great AFL players.
Absolutely! I've heard some real dreaming ideas of what some have been thinking, which only brings along others for ride of unrealistic expectations what likely left at pick 9 or what likely can get with later picks in a live trade scenario.
I feel confident we will do well but also confident no matter what, meltdowns from those with very unrealistic expectations of not knowing what is actually a good result given pick 9 is a good pick but not an elite pick of a draft.

Maybe, but to me it is around the mark of draft where Serong likely to go. Fremantle will probably grab him if Swans do not.
Would love Swans to bid on Henry, make Fremantle use one of their top ten picks on Henry and then Swans make their real pick next.

Stephens and Young show up to have more potential upside than Serong, but if we can make Serong the player we want him to be for us, then that's perfectly fine
I won't say he's exactly what we need as here seem to be a few gaps in his game, but if we do take him, we should be confident in getting his body into the shape we want and his game into the one we want. I don't think either would be too hard to complete, given the character.
If we do take Serong, he'll start round 1 and probably play more games than maybe we expected he would.

I will be praying for Young.
I really want Stephens
I will be happy with Serong
I quite like Robertson.
But I am secretly hoping for some final SOS shenanigans that throws the draft into disarray, letting us profit from other teams' desperation....

nailed it, matthew 
Serong just on the AFL app. He’ll do me thanks. Real good head on a player of a position of need.
