Which player do you realistically want with your teams first selection in the draft?

[RUNVS]

So this thread I thought we could discuss what player you are realistically hoping your team will get with your teams first draft pick (or first round draft picks if your team has more than one). So this isn't a thread for saying, "well the Swans have pick 14, I would like us to get Cameron Rayner" as that isn't realistic, rather it is about who you would like to get that you think might be around that pick.

The Swans do have pick 14, and I have my heart set on Charlie Constable as he plays a position the Swans need (in an under midfielder), is an excellent size for that position (190cm), finds the ball reasonably regularly and while not flashy seems to be reasonably effective, even if he seems to handball a bit too often.

 

[Mofra]

Coffield, on the proviso he can become a midfielder in time.

 

[Eons]

LDU.

Good fit for us as a pure midfielder and his parents have a house in Brisbane so will be an easy transition.

 

[Buzzasto DaSilva]

Jarrod Brander. Bring the boy home.

 

[RUNVS]

Jarrod Brander. Bring the boy home.

Don't GWS already have more key forwards than you guys know what to do with?

 

[Timmytime]

Rayner

 

[Giant Strides]

Jack Higgins for GWS.

 

[100action]

Some player well known and rehashed through the bigfooty casual observer fish bowl and not a genuine hidden gun monitored at arms length by knowledgeable recruiters.

 

[RUNVS]

Rayner

Brisbane fans seem very worried about the go home factor for Rayner. Is that something Fremantle fans are not worried about?

 

[Deep]

Well our first draft pick ain't that high and I don't think he will be around in the mid 30s after his 7 goal TAC GF display so I'd like Gryan Miers

 

[Resigned]

Oskar Allen assuming we don't have to bid high for Patrick Naish which I doubt will be happening.

 

[Chaisa]

Lochie O'Brien. Fills our biggest issue (leg speed/skill on the outside) perfectly. Constable a pretty good fit too.

 

[Heaps of fun]

LDU. I want what I can't have.
Will get one of Cerra, Dow or Rayner. Very happy with any of them maybe Dow is a personal preference for a pure midfielder with less injury worries than Cerra.
Convinced we're getting Rayner now though.

 

[Wild Bill]

Any of these 4 - Raynor, LDU, Dow or Cerra. Whoever is left after the 1st 3 picks.

 

[Timmytime]

We've generally had great retention so I'm not worried. That high of a pick you simply take best available and back your culture in IMO. Weller was a shock but the offer he received was a bit of a one off IMO , Crozier was more of us and him exploring options apparently. Roberton had a pregnant girlfriend much like Wilson and you can't really help that. We all know about Balics' issues.



He sounds very mature in this interview and genuinely seems happy to play wherever, however I know that some people just say those things pre draft to boost their stock.

 

[Baird]

Jack Higgins

 

[pulpdriver]

LDU marginally over Rayner. LDU just seems a better needs fit for needs and apparently already has some Brisbane ties. I'd be happy with either. Though I also wouldn't be unhappy if we went with Brayshaw or Dow.

 

[dylan93]

Petrucelle.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Liam Ryan pls. Port are reportedly keen on him too.

 

[RUNVS]

Petrucelle.

Isn't he a Gary Rohan type player, bloody quick, can do some special things but if he touches it 12 times a game it is considered a high possession game for him?

 

[JoshWoodenSpoon]

Lochie O'Brien. Fills our biggest issue (leg speed/skill on the outside) perfectly. Constable a pretty good fit too.

You'd have some seriously dynamic wings set for the future with that pickup.

 

[JoshWoodenSpoon]

Liam Ryan pls. Port are reportedly keen on him too.

Would you be happy going after him at 48 (or where your pick resides by then)?

 

[Schulzenfest]

Would you be happy going after him at 48 (or where your pick resides by then)?

Personally I’d be going best available KPD with our first pick but I’d be happy to go Liam Ryan with our second (which will likely be late 40’s/early 50’s after academy bidding).

 

[HeHateMe]

Rayner may involve draft tampering.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

OBrien or Ling realistically. Warming to Constable as well.

Darcy Fogarty is my primary choice but I'm assuming he's not getting past the Crows
