Garry Lyon re-ranks the 2018 AFL draft – SEN

Garry Lyon has re-ranked the 2018 AFL draft.
Lyons rankings are based on current form in what is one of the strongest drafts in recent memory.
The Melbourne great had Max and Ben King at one and two respectively with Izak Rankine at number three after his sensational Gold Coast debut.
Rankine was named the Round 6 Rising Star nominee after his electrifying three-goal performance against Melbourne.
Western Bulldogs midfielder Bailey Smith and Port Adelaide livewire Connor Rozee make up Lyon’s top five.
Izak Rankine is the asterisk as weve only got one game to go on, Lyon told Fox Footy’s On The Couch.
(Connor) Rozee would be the one that would be hotly debated, I have Smith ahead of him.
Bailey Smith youve got to say has had a better year than (Sam) Walsh.
Tim Watson believes Smiths efforts as a second-year player for the Bulldogs have gone under the radar.
Bailey Smith I dont think we talk about him enough. He is an outstanding player. Outstanding young player, Watson told SEN Breakfast.
