I think we can find room for this guy once the knee is better. Ignore early kicking for goal (all the bad kicks we drafted kicked perfectly in under 18s )

Maxy King for me......move over Lance Franklin
Spencer white says hi.
Spencer White and many other highlight packages showed a players best bits over many games which can fool you into thinking they were dominant. The highlights above were all from ONE GAME.

Kid is an absolute star, but so is his brother, Lukiousis, Rankine and Smith. Walsh will go 1.
We will get a future star though. This top 5 is huge.
Unless we are stupid enough to trade 4 away for some "former" star or split it to two lower first round picks.
If we do hold firm and keep pick 4 I can tell you now our selection will be the worst performed of your suggested top 5!
The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.
They can even WATCH LIVE FOOTY!
I am worried we will pick him and waste our draft pick. Remember the last full forward that out marked smaller kids and had a medical issue that we thought would be awesome. Didn't work out to well. And he cant kick at goal to save himself. He may be a gun later but I don't want ot take the risk
Smith or Rankin are better for us. Smith is vanilla but does his job really well. He is an inside mid which is not what we need so I prefer Rankine. He has an amazing goal sense and is quick, has great hand and already playing SAFL so he will be ready day one

Just look at him towel up those witches hats! And run that goal umpire off his legs. Him and his brother can go to GC, we'll have a midfielder please.

I reckon he will be a mid.
I bet our forwards are looking forward to that delivery.

why not just pick a mid. everyone including the peanut seller knows our biggest issue is lack of a classy outside mid. Dont think he will add speed and run. Historically, tall KPP's have been hit and miss in the draft for many years. Need to get this years right

If a genuine good MID can be added to the centre I'll be relieved. My gut feeling is that a real mid will bring genuine value to our centre line over the years & simply improve our chances of controlling games from the centre. I'm no judge but a stronger midfield would be great to see @ St. Kilda.

I'm not necessarily advocating picking him, just running with a hypothetical that I'd heard that we're going to pick him.

And you will probably end up being right. At the end of the day, we will get a good player with pick 4, but i just think one of the mids would be a safer bet and more what we need.
If we do grab King, then logically, a couple of McCartin, Bruce, Battle, Membury, Marshall will be surplus.
