while the first 6 or so players should be great players, i'm a bit unsure about this draft in terms of where our picks are at

pick 1- Watts (Good)

pick 17 and pick 19 - options are zaharakis(good)

Cornelius (too slow)

Swift (injury concerns)

Steven Hill(bad foot skills under pressure)

Lisle( Bell-like awareness)

Heyne (poor kicking action)

keeping in mind that Johnston, sidebottom, hartlett, ziebell, vickery, hurley, yarren, trengove and blease will all be gone before us.

looks like there is no draftee with the footskills we are looking for

3rd Rnd - Matthew Broadbent/ Mitch Banner/ Jarred Reddan/

4th Rnd - Tom Hill/ Liam Shiels/

read my post, i said blease will be gone before us. Some people say that Schoenmakers is only 189cm(which is too small for a key position) and other say that he is 193cm, but he plays like a small anyway. He also has a slow load-up time with his kicks which means he is prone to being smothered etc.

rhys O keefe seems okay, but nothing special. has a pretty nice kick but floats a bit too many.

mitch robinson waddling running style and has a strange kicking action also.

Mitch Banner seems fantastic and i'd love to get him but he is another in and under type

Do keep in mind Freak that the draft experts do rate this draft as the best for a number of years - prob second to the Judd, Ball & Hodge draft.

There are plenty of players with good foot skills that aren't on the list youve posted above, your rating of the draft is poor, it's fine.

Is Freak Yze Magics brother or something?

Cause you sure have been agreeing and saying some stuff exactly like him recently.....

But Freak obviously knows more then these so called 'football people' who are recruiters by trade. :blink:

Freak has watched all the championship games on Foxtel and has read a magnitude of posts on bigfooty, hence his extensive knowledge. :blink::blink:

Michael Walters, Suban, Lynch, Broadbent, Ash Smith, Chris Hall, McKernan and Zaharakis look like being available at 17-19. I'd be happy with any of them, and wouldn't be surprised if one or more of them was taken higher than expected. All of them are pretty good users of the ball.

well i dont think lynch or broadbent have great kicks but i agree that the others do. I just hope melbourne don't make the mistake of going for a midfield type with no foot skills. Debeour from W.A would be a complete waste of a pick, Blake from the cats has a better kick.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
