Take Bonar at 7 and the best mid at 8.
Then Id hope to take either of these guys at 34 -
Jordan Johnston
North Ballarat Rebels/Vic Country
Medium Forward
Height: 182 cm Weight: 72 kg D.O.B: 9/9/99
Arguably the best North Ballarat Rebel eligible for the 2017 draft, Jordan Johnston is a different kettle of fish. Jordan Johnston of the North Ballarat Rebels was a mostly unknown player until earlier this where he quickly announced himself to recruiters for the Rebels. Johnston, who finished second in the North Ballarat Rebels goalkicking, this year kicked a staggering 26 goals from his 15 games including a massive seven goal haul against the 2016 premiership side, the Sandringham Dragons. Jordan Johnston although his small stature has an amazing ability to be a reliable scoring option for his team and one who always finds an avenue to goal. Jordan is a known goal kicker and one who you can rely on to kick bags, week in week out.
Kane Farrell
Bendigo Pioneers/Vic Country
Outside Midfielder/Small Defender
Height: 180 cm Weight: 72 kg D.O.B:
The best kick in the draft is this left footer from Central Victoria. Kane Farrell from the Bendigo Pioneers has been the standout kick of the draft for a few years now and it has been on full display this year. Spending the year mostly at halfback, Kane has shown off his super boot on a multitude of occasions as has shown an ability to kick the football better than most. This has allowed Kane to develop into a play maker in defense like a Suckling as his kick often sets up the game from the back half. Kane will be looking to move onto the wing next year and with a bigger body could become an inside midfielder. Farrell has some of the best foot skills I have seen since Riley Bonner as he candevastate teams with his ability to hit targets.

Indeed.
Yes it may be a super draft, but that relates only to the top end talent.
No guarantees at all that Port will be able to pick up a player of quality with selection #36.

So?? Who gives a shit we have two top ten picks in this draft and everyone's burning down the house over some campaigner that' gonna go at pick 29.
Assuming that pick falls somewhere between pick 26-31 lets have a look at who went their in the original super draft shall we?
Aaron Rogers, Tom Davidson, Mark Powell, Lewis-Roberts-Thomson, Rob Crowe, Joel Reynolds
Can you dumb campaigners stop acting like we just traded away our future please? Jesus Christ.
Sloane for pick 62 & 68
All else aside, we are putting together an attractive side. Would finger

Re-signing Wright, Minchington and Pierce on long(er) deals seems very silly now. Pierce probably be put on the rookie list.
While I dont like the swap, it doesn't really matter that we currently dont have a second or a third in the 2018 draft.
It will only matter when the 2018 TP ends in a years time. The way trade picks pinged about at the end of Trade period today, we could end up with 4 iun each.
Obviously looking to trade out some excess for picks in 2018.
If we land a FA (can we start the Sloane speculation yet?) will we still be as upset?
Anyway we should land a couple of good kids in the top ten and wouldn't it be great to land a Hunter, LOB, Bonar as a slider?
All in all we failed in our objective. We wanted a quality outside mid, we then wanted a contracted player, we then looked to trade down. We failed in all of these for various reasons.
All in all an ordinary trading period.
lets hope we make the draft really count.

Massive risk with Bonar's knees.
I can see him sliding a fair way this year. Not to 34, but not top 10.

Too many posters are taking the late Jim Keay's message to heart
Live for today people!
I would say this pick swap was agreed to in principle as part of the Austin swap, but we needed to see whether we'd be able to get a trade done with Richmond or Gold Coast first, to see exactly which picks we'd have to give to Port.I'm keen to see the method behind the apparent madness in that pick swap of ours
Austin seemed very cheap initially. Now it looks like we paid a more fair price for him. No biggie.
At least it means he probably pretty decent and not just there for back-up only long term.

We had two firsts prior to this pick swap, you are acting if we got those picks due to them. You are dismissing the pick swap as having no relevance. Fine. But that doesn't mean isn't hugely unbalanced against us.

Weller for pick 2, charlie for 12 & old man gibbs for 2x 1st rounders. LOL either this draft is really poo or clubs are just trading for the sake of it.

Maybe so. But the way it was picks 2 and 5 were certain to be spent on mids. This way 5 might get spent on Naughton.

Too many naysayers. “Next year is a deep draft!” Really? Is it? Or are there just 5 or 6 top end 17 year olds who look great? Surely it’s too early to know if it’ll be deep.
2 top ten picks and one second is a good hand, considering our list is already pretty good and entering its prime.
If I was a Gold Coast supporter then I’d be fuming right now, missing out in one of Rayner or LDU for Weller? Now THAT is something to melt over.

Oh i'm not a massive fan of the pick swap mate, but people calling on others to be sacked, that the trade period was a failure, acting like we just traded away our future and refusing to look at the now. Its a deep draft so what? The players we pick up in November will be better than whoever port take with our second rounder. Pencil it in. The sky is not falling, its a speculative pick at best no matter how 'deep' they tell you this next draft is 12 months out from it.
