[MarkP]

Ha I was on 99 so this is a quick single to get the triple figures.

On topic.

Can A Kid play?

I don't know how a goat would help our team in the future.

Can A Kid play?

Bloody oath.

Had him at number 1 on my list and I know Kinnear was amazed that it looks likely he'll be there at 14.

So does this thread close on Friday and we start again with new arrivals

We'll pop up a new thread for each of the new draftees so everyone can welcome them, trawl through what facebook pages they've liked, and discuss how many brownlows each will win

You can do it now if you like! We have an existing thread to discuss potential father/son picks (https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/swans-father-son-options.1169727/) and we have an open academy thread as well (https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/thre...my-thread-player-news-and-discussion.1124387/)

Well if he is better than Ablett Snr and/or Junior he is sure to...

Is he actually any good?

Its interesting that if we had any of those guys at their peak on our list now they would comfortably be holding down the number 1 position against the incumbents

We've got 4 on the list now and we only need one of them to be fit and firing at a time.

I rank them as follows:

1. Tippett - fully fit version which is rare
2. Sinclair - thought he stepped up in 2017
3. Naismith - not sure he's ever going to be more than what he is now
4. Cameron - hasn't had a chance through injury

I'm hoping we don't revert back to the 2 ruck setup as the game has gone past that, hence its a waste of time adding another ruckman to the list

It's funny i would have that in almost the exact opposite order

Not as well as his distant relative A Stretcher. Match-winner that one

Now you’re getting carried away...

Ground maintenance costs instantly reduced.

Yep, with professional conditioning training he'll be up to scratch soon enough. Might take a few pre-seasons but that'd be no concern for me to take someone of his talent. His natural athleticism, power, speed and skill are too good to pass up.

Not really. If you've been genetically short-changed all the aerobic training in the world will fail to get you up to the standard required to play AFL at an elite level. Just look at how many players over history have been skilful but didn't have to legs to last a match or to get themselves into a good position.

HS article says Horse in Melbourne to talk to Fogarty and Higgins.

Which Fogarty? Also I don't imagine we would need Higgins since we have Papley and Hayward.

Darcy's from Adelaide, so I'm presuming Lachlan.

That is terrible.. or a 'cunning plan'

It wasn't Blackadder who had the cunning plans, it was Baldrick.

Was thinking to start up the 2018 thread for all that just to irk Bedders...

Looks to be doing a Josh Dunkley, insofar as being rated top 5 in his u16s and now floats in top 25 in u17s. Have to wait and see how he performs next year.

I have very little trouble believing that Cameron Rayner's genetics will allow him to build a sound tank over the next few years.
