As the title suggests in the coming years we are going to have 3 crumbing forwards who are just excitement machines. Whilst we haven't seen Maric in full flight yet he is a kid where the hype is justified. Melbourne fans will love him, opposition fans will hate him. We all know how well Davey can play when the team is up and running. As we continue to improve as a club his performances will only get better. We don't need to mention anything about Aussie but baby Bryon.

So all we need now is a decent marking kpp player. Perhaps were not a shoe in for 16th place now. There's this kid called Michael Hurley who is very much a player in the Jarrod Roughead model. Is expected to go round pick 3-5. Maybe he is now a more realisitic chance of jumping into the red and blue than Nautini

Agree, looking very exciting. Maric will get a game by the end of the year.

I have heard good things about Hurley but as i have said in previous threads if we do not take Natinui if available then it will be one of the greatest mistakes that this football club will ever make since Norm Smith.

MFC4life what he was meaning was he does not think we will finish bottom 2

Its a valid point...from all reports Hurley fits the most difficult recruitment bill - quality KPP player.

This weekend we've seen the difference that Franklin, Roughead and Pavlich [it was damn near MFC V Pavlich 2nd half] can make, and these types of players don't come around too often [How the Tigers must be kicking themselves for at least not picking 1 KPP & 1 Midfielder back in that draft]. We badly need another KPP [keep in mind the Docker's were missing McPharlin this week and he has given us real headaches the past few matches] and probably even more so then another ruckman and quality midfielder with zip.

From a recruiters standpoint it sound like Rich is the lowest risk option in that he has already shown strong performances in finals matches at a senior level.

Natanui would be box office...much harder to ascertain how much he would influence a game [maybe a lot, just hard to know right now]. And it would be easier to trade to gain a ruckman then a potential Brownlow medal winning midfielder or potent KPP.

All these prospects are exciting...my point is that I don't think pick 1 is just Natanui V Rich...Hurley may be the best fit for the MFC's requirements.

Was skim reading, failed to see that sentence condenmed, thanks for pointing that out. I have been blinded by infuriation by some posters suggesting we take Rich or Hurley of Nick-Nat so was to eager to pounce.

Funnily was just talking about Hurley with his dad. very interesting conversation. He is playing for Vic metro v Vic country on Saturday.

He reckons recruiters will almost always go midfielders and ruckman and most recruiters will admit its to save their won ass, as they can 'tick the boxes' and say don't blame me if things go pear shaped.

I asked him about Natanui and Michael played on him and reckons he was able to take him out of the game and lead him into the forward pocket (Michael was playing full back). He reckons Natanui doesn't quite know where to run and there is argument whether you can teach that or not. Its like the Lance Whitnall argument in reverse.

He reckons he has a fantastic pair of hands and not only a high leaping mark but good solid mark. His big question mark is he reckons he can't kick, but reports say he is getting better.

In a nutshell he said Dees should take Natanui if they have number one, but he barracks for the saints and doesn't want me to buy him a tartan rug and thermos if the Dees get him.

I am now convinced that our forward line will soon be the most exciting the comp

Davey, Wonna and 'the Wiz' Maric

Oh yes!!!!!!!!!!!!

Interesting stuff BR. It has been well documented that Lance Franklin apparently couldn't do ONE chin-up when he arrived at the club. How far the freakish can sometimes come.

I think the Club will continue with their efforts to play Davey further up the ground.
