    Re: 2018 Draft Watch

    I’d be extremely surprised if Rankine is there at 5, and if he happens to be, we would most likely overlook him for a KPP
    I will never see #16 the same!!

      He won’t be unfortunately. Can’t see him getting past the Gold Cost first 2 picks, assuming compo for Lynch.

        I’d imagine the players gone at our pick will be Lukosius, Rankine, Walsh, King X 2

            I hope we're able to take Hately with our first selection as he'd compliment our midfield nicely.

            If we manage to go into the draft with 5 or 6 picks there's going to be some value later in this draft.



            Great write ups Doc, many thanks.

                Smith is the interesting one. If he develops the ability to win a bit more easy ball he could be quite the player. He has speed and a great kick but he's often in the packs. A bit more ball on the spread would make him a potentially very damaging player.

                  Could have 3 smiths in the one side ! And also one in the coaching box.
                  Bad enough we could have two Bailey Williams as well.

                    Yep, I think he is a quality player. I like the way he can hit a contest and make something special happen

                      Good assessment Doc, there is a lot of upside with Smith and he's the kind of player that will find a way to make it happen.

                        He is who I want, great size, good user, quick enough and screams leadership. Playing good SANFL footy I believe which is a big plus.

                            So we are getting two top 10 picks. Nice.

                              1,500 points for West. Expensive. Need a couple of free agents to go at least if Chris is right.

                                What on earth does Knightmare mean when he says ‘production’ as a strength or weakness?
