Draft prospects 2019

[TigerMasochist]

Are we looking for the next Stack or Pickett?

Being reported today in WA that we have been speaking to Rhai-arn Cox.

Dropped from the WA U/18 squad this year by Peter Sumich for disciplinary reasons. Sound familiar? Actually walked away from WAFL for a spell this year but came back super focussed.

Small forward with a great goal radar and great marking hands. Has been compared to Liam Ryan.

Rhai-arn? Isn't she that tasty Jamaican singer with the serious chassis?

Just about guarantee that 17 other clubs will be swarming all over this kids arse to ensure there's not a chance in hell of us resurrecting another talented problem child for free.

 

[jokershoppe]

Interesting young player this kid
What's his name
Hans on Cox,hope we get him ,talent onlone sounds good.

 

[Mantikorr]

Targeting this type of player could be the benefit of having those 3 picks close together at the end of 2nd rnd. We're in a position to take a chance on someone with our fourth pick before some other clubs have taken even their second or third pick

He will likely end up being a wasted talent at most clubs.

On face value and his back story this kid needs the RFC and needs Marlon and Stackie and Dan and Sheds, Shai and Dekka and X man

Bring him over......if hes as good as Suma says (sounds familiar) . Ther RFC is fast becoming "THE" destination for the aboriginal lads.

Its delicious knowing this club officially has the ability to "wave the magic wand" over these kids and get them on the right path and realising their potential and talent. The flow on effect for them after footy and in their communities is also huge.

Playing at the G with Jackmond, Dusty, Cotchy, Sheds, Rance and the rest of the aboriginal boys sells itself these days.

For those in the know I notice there is a tall forward Fischer McAsey mentioned around the top 10. Is there a chance that someone like that could drop given the concentration these days on quick fix mids rather than the slow burn KPPs?

I have no idea if he is any good of course !

 

[eZyT]

We've done pretty good working the Larke Medallists vein.

would Devon Robertson be around our pick and would he suit?

Best KPD in the pool.
Hands like Stewie Lowe.
Won’t drop to ours. We need to trade down to get him

Thanks. Is there another tall who could be in our range?

There’s talk of Will Gould sliding after he performed poorly in the combine.
Josh Worrell could be a good get.
Sam De Koning and Harrison Jones both have potential and should be there at our pick, but might be considered a bit of a reach.

 

[spook]

De Koning is around the mark at our pick. Raw but has a bit, brother coming on nicely at Cartoon.

I like Worrell but suspect he goes before our pick.

Likely Geelol will snap him up before us.

He’d be my pick based on others going before our current pick 19.
Gould at 192cm and 106kg would need to drop 10kg. Maybe he can give it to DeKoning

Or grow another 10cm

Not dramatically dissimilar to the knock on Pavlich in his draft year, possibly why we didn’t draft him.

To be fair Pavlich was taller, faster & I think had played midfield also. Basically had a lot more upside...

I think Gold Coast will take Gould so Stewy Dew can feel skinny and they can land a 4 'n twenty deal

I'm not a fan of taking mid sized defenders in the top 30. They just don't seem to work out well. Its a funny range that 190-192cm types that don't play mid. Not tall enough for key position, not quick enough in most cases and don't win enough ball in other cases.

Still reckon the idea is that you take midfielders and the ones that don't quite make your midfield get to be flankers and pockets

Agree mids and Key positions in the top 30. You can draft Broady types later in the draft who do the job perfectly well.
