Scully is a much better runner than Rich, although Rich is far more physically developed. If Scully adapts to playing with men then there is no reason why he shouldn't be a better player than Rich.

Picks 1 and 2 should be Tom Scully and Jack Trengove.

Best Key Forward at pick 18-20.

We should try and trade for another top 20 pick, but this is unlikely to happen.

I went and watchED S.A vs NSW last week and Panos was ultra impressive up forward for S.A.

193 cm, great contested mark and his set shots were all first class. He was however playing against poor opposition.

Check him out on Wednesday.

It seems like pick 1 will be a mid. Is Scully still the lock as #1 pick for most?

If pick 2 was a choice between an equally-ranked KPF and mid we should take the KPF (assuming we've already taken the standout mid).

However, I'm not sure there'll be a KPF ranked in the top two unless Butcher happens to turn it on in a couple of days.

I think we need two class mids not one to help solve our midfield issues.

Agreed. I also love the sound of Jack Viney. If we got him in 2010 we'd have our elite midfield. Prodiving we pick two elite midfielders with picks 1 & 2 this year.

Jack Viney wont be qualified for his drivers licence then.

People are under-estimating Butcher here. He hasn't had a pre-season due to several injuries. He is one of the highest credentialed juniors of the draft. He is the best contested mark of the draft and is still rated a top 2 pick. Don't read too much into the championships for Butcher.

my two cents is for the two best midfielders. i think we can back in watts, bate, jurrah and co to actually take marks in the forwardline if they have a gun midfield kicking them the ball!

I've got a feeling that Butcher could slip to Richmond. I think Morabito & Lucas will be close to top 4 selections.

A bit of a hypothetical here :

What would be the chances of a young player not liking the look of the teams getting early picks, so has a chat to one of the bigger clubs and agrees to take it easy at carnivals / draft camp to ensure he slips through to them. Far fetched or not ??

They'd have to be as arrogant as hell. I wouldn't want anyone on my list who was like that anyway. Not sure how far fetched it is. It's the sort of thing you'd expect of Carlton or someone like that though.

If they are the type of bloke that lays down on his teammates to serve his own best interests, then you wouldn't want them at your club!

Possible, but Butcher Is too one dimensional. If I were to draft an Key position player with an early pick, it would now be Panos. He is about the same size as Johnathon Brown & moves like him as well.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    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.
