Who will we get with our later picks?


Freak

Recommended Posts

we all know watts will be chosen as number 1, and we all know the names being floated around for our pick 17 and pick 19. but who will we get with pick 35, 51, 64 and 76?

I'm going to review this thread and see who was the closest to the money. And whoever that is I will give them life long respect :D

Has to be in order.

Here is mine:

pick 35: Jarrad Redden - SA ruckmen. We all know we need one. He is agile and is another midfielder in the centre after the tap out such are his 2nd and 3rd efforts.

pick 51: Tom Allwright - a midfielder that has good skills and is a good bartel-like overhead mark. He may be gone a little bit before us..but not earlier than the 3rd round.

pick 64: Liam Jones- a 194cm key forward with plenty of zip and marking ability. missed plenty of football through injury.

pick 76: N. F. I

For a start Freak, I think we have pick 67 not 64, the next would be 83.

35: Dayne Beams, midfielder from Southport.

He is a hard at it midfielder with good skills, has a bit of attitude (the good kind). Was originally touted as a late pick but is becoming more and more likely to go top 40.

51: Jarred Redden, ruckman from SA.

He is a good prospect, definately a national draft pick instead of rookie/pre drafts. He could slide a bit further than people are thinking and we would have to take him at 51. A good young talent who could become a best 22 ruckman.

67: Stephen Motlop, forward/mid from NT.

Young Motlop could either go alot earlier or alot later, hard to tell, regardless I think he would be a good pick up. He has good skills and fantastic speed.

Naturally his name has got alot of attention and he has the tools to be a good player.

there are two boys i think we should look at as either very late picks or rookies

1) Patrick Heenan--indigenous boy from NT...extremely agile, extremely--seen some good footage, i wil try to find where it is (can play forward or back)

2) Roland Ah Chee--another indegenous boy but is a midfielder and is very very consistent. nice speed. good kick

so i put these two forward as possible late picks

would be wrapt if we got either of them

I hope your right! It would mean that someone else would slide to our next two picks!

Any news on Liam Shiels? (spelling maybe, sorry)

There was a whole thread on him about a month ago saying how we were the only club had registered interest in him.

maybe use our 4th rounder on him?

Would love it if we picked up a ruckman with our 3rd round. I would love for Roughead to slide that far.

Every year there are 1 or 2 players who slip out of the first round and are taken early in the second. E.g. last year many had Alex Rance going around the #8 mark for one reason or another he slipped to 17.

What players this year will slip?

I reckon McKernan and maybe Sidebottom.

i just hope we use our first 2 picks on KPP (Watts and i hope Shoenmakers)

and then get what is the best available with our next picks!!!

A SMOKEY LATE:

Charlie Sharples

DOB: 16/2/89

State league: SA

Club: Sturt

He played for SA against the VFL this year and acquitted himself quite well, but he wasn't at Draft Camp because he was playing in the reserves when they had finals on.

Charlie is not too dissimilar to Cameron Stokes and they played together for the Northern Territory. He's a really smooth mover is extremely hard at it.

Charlie's a little bit leaner and taller than Stokes and with the success that the Hawks had with him this year, and the same with Melbourne and Austin Wonaeamirri, you'd have to think someone would have a crack at Charlie late or as a rookie.

Mckernan at pick 17 or 19 would be outstanding.

Steele Sidebottom has been touted a top 10 pick.

So has Mckernan.

And so was Rance last season there is always a slider.

ID actually suggest he is a big chance to slide, he had one incredible game, deserves to be top 15 but all of the names below have legitimate cases to be a better prospect...

Watts

Naita

Rich

Hartlett

Ziebell

Vickey

Yarran

Trengove

Hill

Swift

Why would Bentley 'slot nicely into our 22?

Have you seen him play before?

The guy reeks of skill, a ball magnet, and can kick a goal. Good replacement for Chris Johnson on the half back line.

I'm shocked he was delisted from Port. Carlton have obviously seen the talent on display as they've invited him down for a pre season.

Would rather pick him up with our final draft pick then an Isaac Weetra/Heath Neville speculative punt in the 60's who most likely will never play a game for the club.

though i dont think we need another half back flanker atm with wheatley, petterd, grimes, cheney, etc

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
