Pick 17, 20 & 25

Supposedly his lack of height, at 191cm. But he has a long reach and a good leap and it's where your hands meet the ball, not where the top of your head is, that counts. I like him and would be happy to have him.
I'd say to get all three the odds are a fair bit longer than that.

OK fair enough. I see that as an opportunity. Has a lot of presence. we are Richmond, 191 is the new 194. sign him up!

About the same to Jack with his 20mtr time
Decent leap
Body work is good
Height is slightly on the small side for a KPF at 191cm
Tank is questionable from reports but not sure as different opinions coming out of the west, But at #17-#25 certainly worth a selection

cool, prob sandgroper smokescreen. Yes, certainly!

Let's all pray Bulldogs don't bid on Naish at 16.
Could end up with at least one of Bonar, Allen, Constable or Hayes and Naish plus Bailey.
Those praying for Naish to fall past 19 are dreaming. The kid has talent and no one will give us a free pass.
 
Like the look of Hugh Dixon KF from Tassie had a good championship maybe in our later picks.Carvino is the other I like big KB.

I think there is a very good chance he falls out of the top 20, Doggies the only real threat

How much do you want for your jousting sticks?
Father sons like PN wouldn’t come up all that often, what would anyone want with PN ? If he comes past pick 20, that’s a bargain

I'll try not to wake you on my way out.

Agree. I think some are seriously under rating Naish ability. He is a first round pick. Would should be doing cartwheels if he slides past our first pick.
 
I believe we will end up with 2 of the top 25 players and Naish.

Happy with either Brander or Balta.

The voice of reason. Thank god
 
To compete with the Tigers in 2018, teams will need to rethink their game styles. I can see a lot of recruiters going after smaller, defensive types and that could mean a few talls drop in the order. At least I hope they do anyway.

I think we have made a few recruiters a little nervous now as they try to emulate our team in some way.

On the site that cannot be named they have us looking at Oscar Allen and even suggest Raynor may go number 1 to Brissie
 
I think the tigers and dogs showed you can get high-impact role players lower in the draft by targeting smalls with speed and that can tackle. In hindsight, not rocket science.
 
Allen, Bonar and Naish would be a dream result.

Bonar is the key one. Super talented. Cripps MKII

POS: Forward, Ht 190cm, Wt 89kg, DOB 8/3/99
From Dandenong Stingrays
September ranking: None

Two knee reconstructions in the past couple of years means we haven't seen as much of Bonar as others, but there is no doubting his raw talent and skills. Bonar is a powerful and athletic forward who in time may also play in the midfield, where some see him being a big and strong inside prospect. Bonar's speed and leap came to the fore at the NAB AFL Draft Combine, when he came equal second in the 20-metre sprint (2.90 seconds), top-10 in the agility (8.30 seconds) and also equaled the all-time record in the standing vertical jump (89cm). He found 20 disposals and kicked a goal in the All Stars game, and showed real dash.
