      Going to the Gold Coast ... surely for a casual chat with Lynch 😁.

      Western Bulldogs - Destination club 2018. How does that sound?

              Interesting with Rankine. If we deem him too much of a flight risk and Adelaide are desperate to acquire him would we consider swapping our picks? Currently pick 5 for pick 8 with some sort of sweetener our way to help with draft points for West and Khamis.

                Rankine has another two shots but misses. Should have had 5

                  If rankine isn't the number 1 draft pick whoever gets him will definitley say they got the best in the draft.

                    Sounds like my absolute fantasy pick.

                      Yep. They have Melbourne's first rounder too. Maybe 5 for 8 & Melbourne's First. I wouldn't trade 5 unless it was overs.

                        Rozee is exactly the type of player we need. Interesting news indeed.

                          It seems that Carlton, Brisbane, Gold Coast & saints will all have picks before us.

                          Looking at their list profiles it appears midfielders will be a high priority. It will be interesting to see how the top 5 will play out.

                            I like Taylor too although he had a very quiet first half. Rozee looks to have real forward smarts and scope for midfield potential.

                            The fact he's outside of the consensus top 8 or so is interesting too - trade down or do something sneaky with the Crows? A lot of SA kids at the pointy end this year and they need to get less flight risks onto their list.

                            Only saw the third quarter, West went the leap! I still love West's ability to feed the ball out by hand when in heavy traffic. If he wasn't ours I would actually be really interested in him, like his game style.

                              Ben King looked like your classic dominant KPF, Lukosius will still probably be the no 1 pick and went from forward to back during the game.
                              Hately gets a lot of the ball for SA and I like the look of the Jets boy they made captain of Vic Metro, a couple of beautiful inside 50 entries. He'd make Trent Bartlett look like Lockett delivering the ball like that.

                                Good news on west will have to watch the replay. I heard from a person with PA recruitment connections and they believe Rozee can go top 6 for sure. As GVGjr has mentioned he has that X factor...
