Pre Season Phantom Draft

Featured Replies

IMO we need clearance players more than we need yet another speculative tall to clog up the list, and the club clearly agrees given they passed on quite a few talls on draft day.

We have plenty of talls in development, but only one quality inside-mid in McLean. Additionally, the likelihood of finding a decent tall in the PSD are slim, but there could be a ball winning machine hiding in there just waiting for a chance.

Well if its an inside mid we need then cousins is the answer, but i'm not going to [censored] that horse again!!!

(Mclean, Maloney, Jones, Valenti?) Hard ball winners is not the issue from where I was sitting last year it was finishing that hurt us last year and I think the club to a step in the right direction on SAT to solve this. Therefore a KPF

I think we took a great mix in the draft and must take a bit of a punt on CS in the PSD. The Risk could be well worth it!

not a chance in hell. he cant kick. as you should be able to tell by the players we drafted this year, we simply dont want anyone that cant kick

Well said.

With Craig Cameron drafting too many players with kicking deficiencies, its great how Bailey understands in the modern game you cant win flag with players with poor foot skills.

De Boer is a no goer.

 
De Boer is a no goer.

:rolleyes: Is a ball magnet. His disposal at times lets him down. Which is why he was overlooked in the ND.

In that case I hope Carlton pick him up.


If Deboer could get his kicking in order he would be a very very good player.

I still want Sibasado but would not be unhappy to pick up young Matthew.

It is my opinion that any AFL coaching staff that can't help a kids kicking needs to find another job.

Its no wonder Richo has had so many coaches for his goal kicking...

thats what a club hires biomechanics experts for... & they still didn't do too much for MFC last year

 

one boy i think we should look into for a rookie pick is a boy called alex carter. he has a great kick. great hands and is a very good runner. also has a real sense of grit and courage about him. i know we have picked up a couple of these players but imo, he is worth a punt with a rookie pick

btw, ive just recently gone off sibasado. i think we are better off taking someone else with this pick


Pick One - Shane Woewodin/Doug Hawkins

If we were interested in Sibosado, why wouldn't we have taken him in the draft?

If anyone else was interested, why wouldn't they have jumped in after we passed?

I don't think anyone is that interested. Could it be he is no good? Other issues?

DeBoer or Hughes for me.

Those exact same points could be made for every single player that will be taken in he preseason & rookie drafts (that were eligible for the ND)

Your points prove nothing.

rockliff looks ok, but is similar to a few others we already have on the list.

Sibosado could be anything or could be nothing, so for mine the risk is still worth going for Sibosado as all players left have been overlooked for one reason or another at this point.

Tom Rockliff 4 PSD - thanks to the highlight package posted by Wise Monkey.

I want sibosado or rockliff

but MFC like to make weird decisons and love blokes that cant kick... eg. godfrey,bell,bartram,brown etc so dont be surprised if they take De Boer!!!!!!!

;)

Well that discounts us taking Deboer then!

 

Tried to search for this news item through the threads but couldn't find anything, so I don't think it may have been posted as a news link.......so here it is, it's in relation to Nick Davis & Brisbane (The AGE - Real Footy/Fairfax) for the Pre-Season Draft. He could be finished...

LIONS DITCH DAVIS

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
