Lukosius going to Adelaide makes no sense to me with how heavy their forward line is already and this is after losing McGovern already
If he doesn't go to Gold Coast, surely St Kilda or Port grab him
Only highly rated SA player who Adelaide may need is Rankine

Smith isnt going to make it to our pick. Ben King is my guess, not what i want but what we'll get.Yes please
Bailey Smith will be a good get for us then

Rozee?
West Coast just won a flag with 2 power forwards and a resting ruckman in the forward line. Jenkins is athletic enough to provide Sauce Jacobs with more of a chop out than he's currently getting, and park his ass behind the ball when it's necessary.
Besides which, Tex is 28. 4-5 years left? Lukosius would only be starting to hit his prime at that point. There aren't many 18 year old KPF's that come in and make an instant impact.

I think the Saints will take Max King, doing his rehab there and they love him apparently.
Smith will end up at GC. I do want Rozee for us, but not optimistic he'll make it to 7.

My favourite current s**t footy journo quote is this "X manager has an impressive record when it comes to getting his players where they want to go"
95% of players who want to go somewhere get to where they want to go. Not that impressive at all

Yeah, i dunno. I think Walsh, Luk and Rankine go top 3. I wouldnt be surprised if GC take Rozee too and hope the SA boys want to stay together, but think Port will take Rozee as a Wingard replacement . Meaning they'll grab Smith.

Fair enough, i think they would be crazy to take a King at 2 or 3.

Wouldn't surprise me if they trade pick 2 for multiple picks. The go home factor with the SA boys is too risky and leaves them only 1 or 2 clubs to deal with. With two Vic metro brothers + Vic country boys it's less likely to happen.

I too think they'll go Luko but will go Rozee as well as they're best mates

Smith will make it to us if St Kilda trade pick 4 to Adelaide or if St Kilda pick a Rozee/Rankine (surely Gold Coast take Lukosius to replace Lynch)

Yeah hes a very light forward, i think either SA club would love any of Rozee, Luk or Rankine.

Yep. If they want a King one will be available at 6, they aren't wasting a top 3 pick on one.

rozee plays anywhere between the 50's but will become a pure mid probably in 2-3 seasons.

But yeah, I'm dead set no on the Kings
We have had a pathetic history in drafting ruckman sized skinny KPPs, none of them ever make it, they either are too injury prone or are too skinny and don't have the frame to fill out to help them
They make it as ruckman, but KPPs, nope, seldom do, they tease but never nail themselves as bonafide A graders.
Only really Ben Brown, Daniher and Hipwood in this mould who are playing above average football/showing promise at the moment. Lobb is injury prone, don't know what's his best position either, ruckman or forward?
Ayce Cordy and Cam Wight are a few who teased for us but their frames never allowed them to go on with it, Cordy in particular was injury prone also.

It's not impossible for a 200+cm player to fill out. Harris Andrews is 202cm and bulked up to 102kg or more. Tippett also built a decent frame over time. So has Tom Boyd, Charlie Dixon, Josh Jenkins and Buddy who was a raw 199cm player when drafted is anything but that now.

Our only under 23s over 190 are Himmelberg and Fogarty and Fog isn't a true KPF which leaves the Berg and nothing else. Currently in the best 22 is Walker, Jenkins and Lynch and one of them isn't a KPF. Whilst it's unlikely we get him (unless we trade up on the night) I do think he would be very high on our list.

So I guess Kelly walks to us in 12 months time.
We had a bit of a s**t trade period really. Lost Lycett and got the average Hickey as a replacement. That was it. Just downgraded in the ruck.
