I'm wondering who we will get with these picks. What are your thoughts ??

    For me it depends on who we select with pick 1.

    If we go with Natanui I'd like to grab Aarron Conrenlious and Mitch Brown. Two KKP forward players

    If we go with Watts, we should get Brown and the next best midfielder which will probably be Blease.

    Watts - Roughead & Zaharakis/S.Hill.

    Watts - Trengrove & Zaharakis/S.Hill.

    Zaharkis will go well before pick 17.

    Fwiw, I agree with Redleg

    Debatable.

    Many who take an interest on this topic have Zaharakis as a late 2nd round, early 3rd selection.

    For the record Addam, have a look at this link: -

    It has plenty of information on draftees, and you will get a better picture, my thoughts are in this thread too: -

    Dont know what your trying to tell me.

    Most of the opinion from those who take a direct interest in these boys is that Zaharakis will go roughly 20-35.

    Just thought I'd give you a bit more information on the topic as you've only recently signed on, thats all.

    With respect to D.Zaharkis, he is impressive, I hope you are right because I had Zaharkis at pick 17. We need pace. Him and/or Blease.

    Oh, I see. Thanks.

    I've been reading about the draft quite alot and I went and seen Vic Metro v WA a while back.

    Yeah I'd like to see us take Zaharakis. I think Blease will go 12-14.

    Well, with Warnock apparently out of the pickture, I'd now be looking at an extra young ruckman, where before I was just looking at a selection of pacy, skilled midfielders (O'Keefe, Robinson, Blease).

    But with ruckmen it all depends on whose left by 17/19 I s'pose. It's a smaller pool and all that.

    We should have at leasttwo running around at reserves for Casey, off the rookie list.

    For the record, I still think Watts for pick 1.

    Jamar was a lot better when he was out from White's shadow. PJ is a goer no doubts.

    Meesen... ask me in the Nab cup decider next year...

  • Quote

    1 = Naitinui

    17 = Zaharakis (hope the spelling is right)

    19 = Blease

    Watts we will see you next year.

    This.

    Though at the same time still target an area of the ground that is of concern eg if 2 players are on par and one is an inside midfielder and the other a full forward take the forward

  • Quote

    As much as a skilled pacy midfelder would be nice, i personally just want a midfielder who could go in and get the f*ckn' pill out of a pack with clean hands and precision!

    I would go with Natanui although i cant understand all the rave for Aaron Cornelius?? Have seen him play a few times and have come away shaking my head alot? All he wants is to take the big spekky, is a reciever not a getter,Wont put his body on the line. We need a couple of tough nuts that will put there head over the ball??? Instead of some of the softies we have now !!! Nathan Carrol should be moved to the forward line as every time the ball is near him a goal is kicked ?????

    Correct.

    The rest of the posts are just posters blowing hot air in the disguise that actually know who will do what.

    Down at 17 and 19, only insiders at the recruiting table will have any idea who would likely be selected.

    And even then they'd be guessing

    #1: Watts

    #19:D.Zarhakis

    I would also like to chase Mitch Thorp of Hawthorn.

    Johnstone seems popular on the forums but I'm not a fan. He has agility and can take a mark but his skills are very ordinary. We have enough of those on the list already.

    I like the other two.

    At those picks I'd be ecstatic if we got two of Michael Walters, Matthew Broadbent, Sam Blease and Tom Swift.

    Players I like are

    1/ Watts, Rich, Ziebell, Vickery/

    2/ Zaharakis, Blease, Shoenmaker, Robinson, Lynch/

    3/ O'keefe, Broadbent, Roughhead, Redden/

    4/ Stanton, -

    I too like Jarrad Redden. I reckon he'll develop into a good ruckman. I saw him play on Naitanui at Casey Filelds and I liked the look of him. He moves well and is coordinated for a beanpole. Plenty of upside.

    1. Watts

    17. Zaharakis

    19. Walters

    35. Hannebery

    51. Redden

    I'd be very happy with these selections, but having seen quite a few games live it was evident that there are a number of good kids this year. Many that you've mentioned.

    Thorp just signed a new contract Chilliboy.

    If Thorp agrees to the trade then the two clubs can still arrange one.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
