I am completely on the Scully and Trengove ship! Scully is a freak without a doubt.. and Trengove showed similar in the first half.. he had a poor 2nd half.. but he has been dominating every other game! Trengove can also play forward.. so it would be awesome to use him in the midfield/forward flank position like Geelong do with all of their mids.. gives us more depth!

I will be really [censored] if we pick Morabito over Trengove! He looks ok.. but he looks like a selfish player that tries for ‘glory shots’.. and his kicking is only ok.. I would even pick Kane Lucas ahead of Morabito!

Jason McCartney's eye catchers from Wednesday:

Western Australia 16.14 (110) d Vic Country 9.8 (62) at Docklands

Western Australia

Travis Colyer

A small midfielder with an excellent speed/endurance combination and on Wednesday he just continually took the ball at speed from stoppages. Had 23 disposals, five clearances, six inside 50s, and he’s a goalkicker – he kicked two goals. Had an outstanding, consistent carnival.

Draft eligibility: 2009 NAB AFL draft

Kane Lucas

A very good midfielder who continued his consistent form over the last couple of games. He spent a lot of time forward and was a leading possession-winner on the day playing as a high half-forward pushing up into the midfield. Had 24 disposals, six marks, three clearances and three inside 50s.

Draft eligibility: 2009 NAB AFL draft

Anthony Morabito

A tall, athletic wingman who had 17 disposals, five clearances and five inside 50s. He runs and carries the ball and is a proven goalkicker. A very good clearance player who has that real X-factor. Doesn’t need the ball 25 times to have an impact on the game – he can have it 15 or 16 times and be the most influential player on the ground.

Draft eligibility: 2009 NAB AFL draft

Vic Country

Dustin Martin

Inside midfielder, was best-on-ground in the first half and single-handedly kept Vic Country in the contest against WA. Had 20 disposals in the first half. Has a strong body, made good decisions, is an elite kick either foot, and very good around the stoppages. Had 28 disposals, seven marks and five clearances.

Draft eligibility: 2009 NAB AFL draft

Ben Cunnington

An inside midfielder, he also spent a little bit of time forward. He just continually won his own footy and was very good around the clearances. He’s got a fantastic appetite for the contest and just applies great defensive pressure on the opposition. Had 23 disposals, seven hard ball gets and three clearances.

Draft eligibility: 2009 NAB AFL draft

Gary Rohan

He is a lad who would be exciting all AFL recruiters at the moment. An electrifying half-forward flanker. Has terrific speed, uses the ball well and is a good decision maker. He’s got a great work rate, and a tremendous vertical leap. Really strong overhead – he took this sensational pack mark in the last quarter. He doesn’t need to get a lot of the football to influence the game. He had 16 disposals and five marks – two of which were contested.

Draft eligibility: 2009 NAB AFL draft

South Australia 10.13 (73) d Vic Metro 9.7 (61) at Docklands

South Australia

Luke Tapscott

A medium half-forward, strong, body-type player, just a lovely penetrating kick. He played predominantly forward but spent time through the midfield as well. He’s just been a proven goalkicker, kicking three in each of rounds four and five, and had a consistent carnival. Had 13 disposals, seven marks, five inside 50s and three goals in his final game.

Draft eligibility: 2009 NAB AFL draft

Alex Carey

Playing through the midfield and on the wing, he won a good mix of contested an uncontested ball. Ran with Tom Scully (Vic Metro) at times during the game and wasn’t disgraced at all. He continued to win the ball and had an impressive performance across the five games. Had 21 disposals and three clearances.

Draft eligibility: 2009 NAB AFL draft

Hayden Jolly

Just a really clever ball-winner. Continually wins the football and did it again on Wednesday. He was used very effectively by South Australia and looked to spend a bit more time forward. Had 21 disposals, six marks, five inside 50s, and kicked 2.3.

Draft eligibility: Gold Coast can sign him as one of its 12 x 17-year-olds born January-April 1992. If not selected, he is eligible for the 2010 NAB AFL Draft.

Vic Metro

Tom Scully

Clearly the best player on the ground, even though they lost. The leading possession winner, he hardly missed a target all day. His centre square work was exceptional, with five centre clearances and six clearances. He had 27 disposals and four inside 50s. In a side that did struggle, he was outstanding. He’s handled all the expectations he’s had placed upon him exceptionally well.

Draft eligibility: 2009 NAB AFL draft

Daniel Talia

A versatile key position player who played predominantly at centre half-back throughout the championships. He went into the midfield in the last quarter on Wednesday and nearly turned the game Vic Metro’s way. A strong body, his clearance work was exceptional. He wins the contested ball well and has good speed and agility for his size. Had 24 disposals, five marks – two of which were contested – and four clearances.

Draft eligibility: 2009 NAB AFL draft

Jake Carlisle

He only had 12 disposals but four goals. And goals that came late. He’s a very versatile, athletic big man. Very good contested mark – he’s a rangy type. Along with Talia and Scully, really did give Vic Metro a chance of clawing back a game that looked to be all but lost at three-quarter time.

At this stage I'm happy with Scully and one of either Trengove, Lucas or Morabito. Each of these three have their own strangths and weaknesses, I can't split them.

Would you put Rohan at that level too? Or just below?

Whichever way you look at it, after Scully, all the teams with picks 2, 3 & 4 (at least!) are going to get a potential star midfielder - as you say, with different strengths & weaknesses. We also have to think about who'd fit best into the likely midfield mix for next year - we don't need another Jones or Moloney at this stage.

I'm starting to warm towards Kane Lucas, though i do not mind who we get really, as long as it is the right choice.

So i would say that rulse out Morabito cus his a big body player like moloney and jones etc

Also when contemplating our pics theres no need to think about pic 1 scully in the bag.

Its that 2nd pic we all need to think about, even if were not choosing :D

It'll be interesting to see how Rohan goes in the second half of the season. I can see him making a Dale Thomas type charge up the order. He has all of the requisite tools, great pace, great leap and a reasonably good kick. Needs a bit more muscle, but a really exciting prospect who’s come from nowhere. He could really come into contention for the top 3 with a strong finish in the TAC Cup.

I'll be watching him very keenly.

I think some recruiters might have him in contention for pick 2,3, 4 or 5. Jason McCartney is on the ball.

edit: I also note that Travis Coyler also caught McCartney's eye. I really really liked his game. Going by McCartney's assessment, Coyler has had a good carnival. Despite being a small midfielder, anyone who breaks the lines with speed and has 6 x I50's, 5 clearances, 2 goals (he could have easily had 4) is a good pick up in the draft. I still say he is my smokey to be taken. (ie. Not for Melbourne, but taken in first round). Would love him to slide to 18.

He did some seriously freakish things on Wednesday. Loved his pack mark, and the weave and run through 3 or 4 WA players drew a ew gasps in my section of the crowd.

Could be seen as a bridge of the varying skillsets that Trengove and Morabito possess. The speed and run and carry ability of Morabito and the hardness at the ball that Trengove displays.

Rohan has indeed really shot up into contention, unfortunately I haven't seen any of the games yet so my knowledge is pretty poor. I'll get a chance to watch Wednesday's game over the weekend.

Trengove, Butcher, Morabito.

I'm going to stick to the Scully Butcher combo.

Last year I thought he had really good hands, read the play well and protected the space well. I read somewhere he was playing with a chip on the thumb this year. Maybe that's a reason. Who knows?

Let's stitch up 1 n 2 but there's still plenty of time to go till draft day so Butcher can still push his case.

Posted
Indeed. Not sure if you read it in one of my earlier post on the previous page. But Rohan has come along way from full back at Cobden last year. He meets the criteria for pace. He is good on a lead, can play up forward, has good hands - one grab marks above head, can fly - provides pace in the midfield. He's a No.2 candidate IMO. Although Trengove/Morabito are too. Tough one.

Footnote: -

Not that it's a pre-requisite, he's better looking than Cameron Ling...

Good points. He's also very strong through the hips, hardly goes to ground.

A good trait.

I'd go with Scully and Morabito.

There's not a lot of love on forums for Morabito, but having watched him live I'm firmly in his corner. I even read on this thread where someone compared him to Moloney and Jones. Amazing. People shouldn't comment when they're ill-informed and haven't seen a player live.

I've been waxing and waning between Morabito and Trengove, but I'm leaning towards the former. He's perfectly suited to the modern game with his build, class, and running. Trengove is a sure fire 200 gamer, but he is a little bit more of what we've already got - albeit better.

Morabito really does have the potential to be a star. The Dees need players that drag people into the ground, and yes, we're compiling those with Watts, Jurrah, and probably Scully, but we've been devoid of match winners for years. Morabito has X factor in spades. Will be far better than given credit for by some and could be anything.

Would be wrapped to get Scully/Morabito.

Like Trengove also.

I agree as well 'High Tower', I liked what I saw & reckon a small running mid like him can break games open. He'd be a nice compliment to our mids & break the lines group.

If he were there @ our 2nd Rnd pick & only a no name developement tall forward were available, I think I'd take Colyer.

I suspect we're two peas in a pod on this issue H. (Albeit in different forums under different names)

Any one of Trengove, Morabito, Lucas and even Butcher will make fine AFL players, so should the Dees choose against my current wishes on draft day I've no qualms about that.

To my mind we've already got a bonfide in Scully - let's be greedy, take a risk and get another matchwinner in Morabito. Christ knows after years of [censored] between 65-86 and the mid table mediocrity since, people like yourself who've continued following the club deserve nothing less than a ruthless (sometimes risk taking) approach to attaining a premiership.

We've already got these hard bodied pack bustling guys in McLean, Moloney and Jones. We don't need anymore.

I beg to differ

Recruiters watch players 30 times, or more, over 2-3 years. They speak to their local coaches, family, and even school teachers, so it's impossible for amateurs like me to have any informed opinion about u18 footballers across the country.

That said ;) , it's amazing how talent screams out at you when you're watching the best in the flesh. On tv one gets a very closed view of the game, but live you can track a player across the ground, watch how they move, accelerate, anticipate, notice how hard they work, and even just get a much better feel for their athleticism; all stuff that is far more difficult to assess at home. It's like trying to guage the class of a thoroughbred on tv or up close at the markets.

Our work insurance agent is Ryan Bastinac's Aunt. Ryan is tipped to go in the top 2 rounds and wears no. 13 for Vic Country. He got quite a bit of the ball, and is obviously a good young physically under developed player. On one viewing I wouldn't have a clue how good he'll be, or whether he'll even make it once he's in the AFL system. I'd need to watch and concentrate on Ryan numerous times at junior level to really appreciate his strengths and weaknesses. The point I'm trying to make is that cream comes to the top and you don't need numerous viewings to know when you see real class. And that's what I saw with Morabito and Trengove. I'd heard about Morabito's disposal issues, so was prepared to doubt him from the outset, but I put those views aside very quickly. He may kick the odd floater under pressure, but he'll just as likely hit his target, plus he'll do things on the ground that will stand him apart from others. His atributes more than compensate for the occasional sprayed kick. His hands were very good and I reckon his disposal is far better than made out by some. He's the prototype for the modern game and has genuine superstar potential. Something this club desperate lacks. But I don't see a boom or bust scenario with him. If he's not a star he'll still be very very good.

From my one day of live viewing, Morabito and Trengove stood out as the class trio with Scully. Trengove didn't get a lot of it, but he didn't need to. The class was evident. And that's what I was looking for. I didn't care if he "didn't do enough for me", I was looking for class. He has it. Daniel Rich only made the bench in last year's AA side, because he was somewhat successfully tagged out of matches. You could still see his class though. For anyone that thinks Trengove "didn't do enough" I'd say the same. He'll be a deadset A grade midfielder. I just slightly prefer Morabito's X factor potential. But I can understand those that like Trengove. I have no issue with that whatsoever and would be excited to see him at the Dees next year.

Some really like Kane Lucas. I watched him pretty closely. He's one player that I'd need to see more of to be sure he was a top 3 pick. He may well be, but because he's not physically as developed as Trengove or Morabito it's a little harder to say. Like Bastinac, I'd need to watch him 10 - 20 times. This is where Scully is so good. Scully still looks pretty small, but he's just so good. Lucas isn't in Scully's league.

One thing I can say with certainty. Scully, Trengove and Morabito would all be in our best team today, let alone next year.

We need a star.

But could we get a star with pace?

Trengove will be a leader, and shepards, and listens to instruction.

But Morabito looks a tad quicker, but I am still looking for informed opinion here.

And with speed in mind that Rohan kid would have to be tempting, although I believe Blease is a similar size and would play a similar role.

I guess what I am saying is that I want affirmative action for quickness...

How about a line breaking star wingman with pace and X factor ?

I introduce you to one Mr Morabito.

If affirmative action for quickness means Morabito then I'm on your bandwagon.

Rohan not there in the skills dept.? Footy IQ? Size?

obviously it is still early to tell.. and it is just my opinion from what i have seen/heard.. i think the early picks might go something like this:

1 Dees – Scully

2 Dees – Trengove

3 Freo – Morabito – then again it is freo.. they will probably pick someone tipped to go 4th round or trade for some old guy

4 Tigers – Butcher – they need a forward badly

5 West Coast – Lucas

Port Adelaide and Adelaide will probably pick Panos and Tapscott as they usually stick with locals

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    2024 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
