Why are we not talking more about him... Is he an under-ager or something?

Thoughts on izak rankine??
Yeah like buddy dont want himMassively talented, albeit on the short side (178cm), so clubs with a chance of getting him will ideally be hoping he grows an inch or three by the time his draft comes around in 14 months time.
Fantastic skills, good defensively, quick, serious x-factor.
Just from watching him I get the impression he's got quite a high opinion of himself though, so I'd be interested to hear how he interviews and what clubs think of him in that sort of regard.
You'll wet yourself if we get Cam, because his contested to uncontested ratio is meant to be off the charts.
Even when he's only having 23 disposal games he'll still have 14 contested (to go with 5 shots for goal, a bunch of tackles and a couple of contested marks).
Imagine how many he'll get if he builds his tank up to the point where he's able to play midfield for 80% of his ground time!

Dunstan , 7 and 8 , For pick 1, Rockliff and Pick 18. Make it happen.
Isnt a 13 beep test on a very low level?
Didnt Battle get over 13? And that was considered low for a forward.
I struggle to fathom how the number 1 mid in the draft can only do a 13 beep.
Why didnt he get a proffesional trainer to improve?
Guys,
Rayner's beep test was not 13. It was 11.1.
Dusty was miles ahead of Rayner at the same age in terms of endurance.
exactly
the big problem i've noticed with punters observations of a draft is that their hottest prospect is always the one that draws the most similarities to the most in vogue AFL players
right now that is dustin martin. before that it was fyfe. before that it was judd. etc. rinse and repeat for the talls
that ends up meaning people over estimate the kids ability
Yeh. imo, i dont think there is any chance that Rayner can become a full time midfielder like Dusty does. Or even midfielder that rests up forward. He will be an extremely good medium forward that can play bursts through the midfield on occasions.
i feel petracca was a better prospect in his draft year which is why i think the top end of this draft a rung below some of the recent ones
the depth in this draft is also an issue
where i do think this draft has a really good side to it is in the KPD stocks
Yeh, i think Petracca is a good comparison. Better than Dusty. Rayner does one or two fend offs and all of a sudden he's the next Dustin Martin, as if that's all there is to his game.
I think you guys will get two good players with those two picks. Im surprised to read suggestions of trading up into the top 1-2 picks. If anything, this is the draft to trade down from those spots into that 5-10 range. The top 10 is quite even imo
Stephenson should be no.1 target if draftingwalking away with 2 of say Constable, Brayshaw, Clarke, Coffield etc would be a pretty good outcome
Stephenson should be no.1 target if drafting
Stephenson should be no.1 target if drafting
i agree, tall outside hard runner. he's ticking all of the boxes, bar probably his disposal
Well leave him alone then. Hope we don't have a pick inside the top 20. Can only mean something good.
FacepalmIs Charlie Thompson the son of Andrew Thompson, ex saint player and club director, or son of Grant Thomas, ex saint player and coach?
can take a pretty serious hanger. any idea how old he is?
