It's hard to believe the best talent guy in the AFL would handicap himself in NEXT years draft for 1 kid, as good as either Rankine or Lukosius may be.
List Mgmt. Draft Needs 2018 #2: Rankine / Lukosius / Rozee / Hately, I'm knocking Woodcock out the box, daily!

This is what I hope it is too... although I still think GC will keep 2&3 and take luko and Rankine..
We need Rankine more than we need Luko. I’ve been like a broken record on this for months now.. on constant repeat. Rankine plays from Round one next season.... with lynch, tex, mcadam, JJ, fog, himmelburg as our tall/medium tall forwards... luko would spend the next two years developing in the sanfl... everyone here knows it, it’s what adelaide does. Might as well let luko go to GC... and get him back in two-four years from now when retirement for tex, JJ and lynch is due.
I’ll be just that slightly bit pissed if we grab luko over Rankine... if we are going to be a finals contender next season we need speed, freakish x-factor and game breakers... that’s Rankine.
I'd be ok with this. Although GC don't have a 2nd rounder in 2019. Their only option to give back is pick 52.
I'm almost worried what the pressure would be like on Lukosuis if we did sell 3 first round picks for him. Likely he doesn't play straight away, people will expect him to come firing from the very first game he plays, add to that the Adelaide fish bowl and it's a lot of pressure for an 18 year old to handle.

We need Luko far more IMO.
Key forwards as good as he, and Max King for that matter, are very very rare to find.

I like all 3. McHenry is a niggly young bloke who we could use.If those are our first two picks, I will need to excuse myself on Thursday night! Excitement will be too much to handle!

Interesting last comment “if we are in a position to grab one of them, that would be great”
When we have pick 8, 13, 16 & 21 we can balance talent & need
Who knows what players we will need in 2 or 3 years
It certainly is a hefty price. But to be fair, if you are ever going to pay massively for 1 recruit, then Rankine or Luko this year is the time you would do it. We could wait 20 more years before we have a similar chance to get an SA kid of this quality.

I reacon the AFL would allow it... it’s only a fourth round pick and they have allowed clubs to break this rule in the past..
Plus they will want some sort of live pick trade to happen in the top 10.. or else everyone’s gonna wonder why th rules were introduced.... picture how much of a flop it will look if they introduce it and no even does a live trade.
We all know what they are like these days when it comes to making a marketable “event” out of everything..

Around that mark, Quaynor really doesn't play anything like Luke Brown, in fact the times I've seen him he plays like an undersized 3rd Tall intercepting defender. Sam Sturt absolutely exposed him on the fast lead in the TAC Grand Final, so much so they moved Quaynor off him after the 1st quarter He's definitely not a close checking one on one defender either, usually gives his forward plenty of latitude and plays his own game which would be fraught with danger at AFL level I feel. Can he transition into the midfield? There's talk that may be the end game with him as he's certainly built for it.

I'd like 29 back in return, or their 2nd rounder next year which would make things far more palatable. 3 firsts for 1 pick is so far overs.

Unless its Crouch or Sloane we won't get a first round pick. But once again, our retention of Victorian kids is actually quite good.

Nah - I would not worry about that. I think the opportunity to have Fogarty and Lukosius and also Himmelberg forming a playing relationship going forward will be a huge plus for us and I think supporters will give him time as they are for Fogarty

Pass on Quaynor, absolutely put in a bid in on Will Kelly, looks a real player when he matures body wise.

Yeah, if we asked for special consideration due to taking multiple first round picks this year the AFL would be unlikely to refuse due to a 4th round pick.

If it comes in 2nd Round that Collingwood should match it
