The 2017 U18/Draft Thread

[Rids]

Sorry. Rayner*

mobile likes to autocorrect to Raynor for some reason.

[meow meow]

HigGOAT will just continue to be the best like he has been for the past 3 years but people see 175 and think nah. Zorko and Toby go alright!

[Toga]

I mean, it's not like he's gonna be like "I'm not one bit interested in leaving Victoria South Australia" or something like that.

Worked alright for Wingard.

[Holz]

If he wants to avoid the lions or gc he could though.

As soon as he says i will go home as soon as i can they will cross him off their boards you would think. Its a smart move if Calrton tell them they will pick him up.

Carlton clearly  the best team to go to in the top 4 picks in my opinion.

[Ringo]

Hope Ballandeens value did not go up too much following his kicking accuracy. Happy with 2nd rd for him though.

[Bill Manspeaker]

FF member Jackson Ross on Team Harvey!

no shower...? who is he on here?

Jackross10 I think his username is.

Vin is good mates with him I believe.

oh yeah that name sounds familiar. nice, good on him

reading on BF he got 30/30 in the goal kicking test and 29/30 in the kicking test!

[Nige]

Just put together my pre-trade period phantom draft. Still plenty to play out in the way of compo picks, late mail, trades, combine results and whatntot so this isn't anywhere near perfect, plus I haven't really looked too hard into the type of players each club needs at this stage, but I'll work on that over the course of the month so the post-trade period version is more informed.

I can just hear BT now...
"There's young Jack Ross, the boy from the FanFooty Football Factory... Boy oh Boy!"

[Bill Manspeaker]

hahaha good call fanTC

[Ringo]

Rumour has it if we (Lions) retain pick one we will draft Paddy Dow.

Not sure whether that will change now given Rayners statement he is happy to go to Qld.

[meow meow]

LDU is the safe bet. Lions should play it safe.

[Rids]

This is how I see it currently.

Lions will take either LDU or Dow at 1.
Gold Coast will probably select the guy the Lions don't.
Carlton will then have a decision to make between Rayner or Cerra.
Roos look to have settled on Stephenson at 4.
Fremantle at 5 have indicated they will be looking at a tall with Hayes, Brander in the mix.
Then it will come down to Collingwood who are stacked in the mids and medium sized forwards. They are likely to go tall as well.

There is every chance to be a slider in this draft. My guess is it will be between Cerra and Rayner.

It will be interesting to see how it all unfolds.

[Money Shot]

This is definitely the hardest draft to predict at this stage anyways.

[Money Shot]

This is my first round! Obviously picks could still be traded.

1. Bris: Dow
2. GC: Davies-Uniacke
3. Carl: Rayner
4. Nth: Stephenson
5. Fre: Brander
6. Col: Forgarty
7. Stk: Cerra
8. Stk: Coffield
9. WBD: Higgins
10. Mel: Brayshaw
11. Ess: Hayes
12. Bris: Naish
13. WC: Naughton
14. Syd: Clark
15. Rich: Constable
16. Ade: O'Brien
17. Rich: Richards

I dont think Richmond would let Naish go :P.

And I reckon the Eagles would jump on Clark if he was available. He'd be that inside grunt that's needed now that Mitchell + Priddis have retired.
