My daughter was in amongst the people commentating on the U18 match in WA today.
She heard one of the commentators say this years draft is so bad they will scape the bottom of the barrel well before pick 60. So the competition for Rice and SOSOS will be a lot higher than if it had been in a strong draft like 2014. He won't be a 3rd or 4th round pick. Second round at the worst.

People say that around this time every year. Players will show themselves through the championships. There is still 25 players x4 top tier teams and then the B grade squads. Not to mentioms TAC players from Vic outside the two state squads.
Although with WA being so shit this year it might be a leaner year. But conversely Victoria (Country and Metro) have been beaten by SA and WA routinely over the last few years so it could just be a case that there are more talented Vic this year than usual.

The other way to look at it is good for us .
Shallow draft or not , there will always be premium talent at the pointy end where we will be this year courtesy of our ladder position .
Add to that the strong possibility of SOS trading for further top end picks and a discount on 2 promising f/s and we can own the draft , taking the available top shelf talent and leaving the other clubs to scrap over reportedly skinnier pickings .
Net result , CFC get a big quality spike youth wise over the rest which will pay off in the big picture going forward over the next few years in our climb back to challenger status .
SOS knows the value of high draft picks in building a serious list and it appears that he has the license to attain them ... all we have to lose is 18th place and a poor overall list .

I'm not so sure about that. And Jack did kick 6 against a very very weak WA team.
Maybe a stupid question but if he is only 17 does Jack have to nominate for the draft this year ? Is it better for us if he does ie. Take him in a weaker draft

He doesnt have to obviously, but he is elligible this year. Why waste a year of development we could put into him, and also if you were wanting to become a AFL footballer, would you postpone being drafted for a year? i wouldnt.
Sam Sheldon has shown this to be the case.
Watching the replay on fox footy. SOS Jr has 3 goals up until 3/4 time. First time I've seen play. Runs like sos, has great hands like sos, kicks goals like sos. Looks impressive.

Great mark from SOS on the lead for his third. With 14 minutes to go he's still got three more in him so get watching
