2014 - Heeney top 3 talent
2015 - Mills top 3 talent
2018 - Blakey top 3 talent
That is three potentially top 3 ranked players in five years, such bs.
**** me afl live pass how hard is it to make something so simple work. Maybe I’ll figure out how to get the 2 week trial, or why it worked for 2 mins before stopping , or why it won’t let me mirror it to my tv. More likely I’ll lose patience and you’ll lose a potential customer you twats. How havent they figured this shit out in 2018?

Only the Tasmanian's & NT kids.
It's not possible to play rep football in NSW or QLD and not be in a academy.

Do you see Rankine as a player who could play significant time as a mid in the AFL or is he more a permanent small in the mould of a Cyril Rioli or Eddie Betts. Is endurance a problem for him?Let's stick to the game in here. Nobody wants to read another history of the Academy system.
Good win for SA, outside of that second quarter. Izak Rankine is a star. Some things don't need to be overthought.
Whoever goes at pick 1 will always be compared to Rankine, and I think Rankine will be betterGood win for SA, outside of that second quarter. Izak Rankine is a star. Some things don't need to be overthought.

Rankine is my #1 want at Collingwood now. Imagine that and Lynch added to our forward line

I heard a few recruiters rate him close to the best talent in the draft, so it is not completely out of the question he is close to top 3 talent.Blakey had a good game but he did nothing today to suggest he is a top 3 talent. Top 10 yes, but not top 3.

I hate this, if reports are correct and Rankine is making it known that he wants to stay in SA something needs to be done about it. eg. If 3 or more heads of recruitment at clubs let the integrity arm of the AFL know of this sort of thing happening said player is excluded from the draft until the following year.Drafted to anyone other than Adelaide or Port Adelaide and Rankine is going to be requesting a trade back to SA within a year.

Very different player to Betts. I see Rankine as a half forward/midfielder, not a small forward as such. He's probably what people wished Cyril would have developed into. Endurance isn't really an issue, not any more than most U18 players.
