Stack is one of the most exciting players for next year’s Draft, and it is not hard to see why. In the forward line, Stack often produces moments of magic, whether it be flying for a contested mark, or weaving his way through traffic, or miraculously snapping through a goal. He first burst onto the scene with a strong carnival for WA’s U16s Academy last year, with brilliant performances against Vic Metro (17 possessions and a goal) and Vic Country (three goals), and backed it up again this year. In 11 games for Perth’s Colts team, he booted seven goals and averaged 18 possessions, five tackles and four marks, with his most notable performances coming against West Perth (20 possessions and two goals), South Fremantle (22 possessions and three goals) and Peel Thunder (21 possessions, nine inside 50s, seven tackles and four marks). While for Western Australia, he averaged 10 possessions (five contested), three marks, and three tackles, with his best games coming against Vic Metro (11 possessions – six contested – two clearances and two inside 50s) and the Allies (13 possessions – six contested – three tackles and three inside 50s). He has the arsenal to become a bonafide footballing star.

The younger cousin of Fremantle’s Stephen and Brad, Ian Hill is firming as a top five selection in next year’s AFL Draft. In four games for the WA U18s State Academy, he booted three goals and averaged 15 possessions (seven contested), four marks, three tackles and three inside 50s, with his best game coming against Vic Country (25 possessions, seven marks, five inside 50s and three rebounding 50s). He only played four games for Perth in 2017, as he had to juggle football with his school commitments at Wesley College, but he produced starring performances including against Subiaco (26 possessions, seven marks, seven inside 50s and four tackles), and East Fremantle (22 possessions, six tackles, four marks and two inside 50s) to showcase his talent. Last year he won the WA U16s MVP, All-Australian and was inducted into the AFL Academy after brilliant performances against Vic Metro (20 possessions and three goals), and Vic Country (four goals). Like his older cousins, Hill boasts explosive speed and dazzling skills, making him one of the spectacular players to watch out for in next year’s Draft
Fair enough , if available Rankine and Rozee will be better option . Rankine already play senior SANFL. These are just some talent information that are available in 2018 draft , just saying GWS do draft skinny flanker in Whitfield. I am not in favour of drafting man child inside mid because they are not going to replace Lyons , Swallow , Brodie , Bowes ,Hall for few year and mainly playing NEAFL.
No way Ian hill worth Pick 2 , still in Top 10 though,but Suns got Eagles first rd pick also and ian hill is training with Eagles this pre season as AFL academy player .
I don't buy the best culture in the competition , but when you win a lot, players want to stay until big money come along .If May and Lynch win 2 flag with Suns and want to move on i don't really mind .
North, brisbane, carlton and 1 of freo/wce/coll. I like our chances. West coast have lost kennedy for the first few games, collingwood look very shakey and freo are doubling down on kids.
Anyone that has the potential to become a Dangerfield/Cripps/Pendlebury/Martin/Fyfe type yes
Why not get both Rozee and Rankine .
If Martin and Ah chee sign extension this year , i prefer hately with one of Rankine /Rozee .
