Con sent his apologies. Would have loved to be there, but it's ben too long.
Bluthy would have loved to be there too. (Lazar sent his apologies.)
Jaxons was to join us also, til he read this post viewtopic.php?f=1&t=96429&p=1761082#p1761073 Curse you Bowey Boy!!!

This assembled anal-list Dream Team spent some time doing the ultimate YouTube assessment of the (supposedly touted as) top half dozen-odd 2018 draft picks.
But mostly, we watched funny cat videos.
The results:
Jack Luscious. (Bruce the goose MacAveney's new favourite player???)
Lightly framed.
Kicks like Farren Ray....... everything looks beautiful........... till you see where the ball ends up.

What's all the fuss about with this bloke???
![Confused :?](./images/smilies/icon_confused.gif)
Sam Walsh.
Clearly talented, but looks way too lightly framed to produce at AFL level.
The King(s)pins.
Also lightly framed, and therefore question marks about being able to bulk up enough. If they could, would take 'em quite a few years.
Mobile for their height., but nothing special.
Way taller than their opponents, yet, little (if any) in the way of pack marks.

Woeful set shots on goal!
The next Buddy's? Whilst one couldn't rule that totally out, it's drawing a very very long straw and short bow.
They strike me as speculative/project-type players. Not what you'd be risking a top 4 pick on!
Bailey Smith.
Probably no 'x' or 'wow' factor, but that 'd be the only 'knock' on him. As close as one could get to a sure thing.
Ishe Rankin?
Yes. He bloody well is!
'X' factor! 'Wow' factor! To burn!!!
Once this bloke adjusts to the pace of the AFL - look out!!!
So, after consulting with Aaron666, Rodger, Johnny and Whispering Ted, it's clear cut...
Rankine!!!!
Smith would be a pretty damn good consolation prize.
Then... none of those others thanks. Yawn.
See, that wasn't so hard.

Rankine and/or Smith will be there come our pick 4. So yet another reason not to have blown it (and a reported ludicrous $8 million

Worryingly though, reports from the Saint's inner sanctum suggest we might be looking a King brother... Joe.
Not sure if the Drug-cheats could keep saving us indefinitely?

As for old man Hannebery (thanks Enrico
![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
Townsend? A no brainer upgrade on Lonie.
Clarke Kent's less famous brother? Why the hatred on SS???
![Confused :?](./images/smilies/icon_confused.gif)
As for The Chad. Incredibly talented. Could be anything. if he could just step out of his ego's shadow............
Thoughts, Saintsationalists?
Thoughts, Con?
Thoughts, Richo? (Actually. Pass.)
