It will be pick 1 and 3.

We will take Scully at 1 obviously.

Dockers may take Trengove at pick 2.

So who would people like at pick 3?

Posted

Please don't count your chickens just yet, if we beat Freo, we could finish 15th on percentage

We could still beat the Roos too. I don't think we will, but on today's performance we could very well win it. Then there's Carlton, who aren't the most reliable side either.

Fair call. But who should we take at pick 2 or 3?

We all know the names by now, its too late for a real smoky to appear.

Trengove, Morabito, Butcher, Lucas, Rohan, Koby Stevens...

I'll chuck in Lewis Jetta too.

Lewis Jetta looks to be an absolute marvel.

Cyril Rioli, but even better.

Would take him at pick 3 for sure.

Freo still have Port and Essendon still to play at home, they could win at least one of those games

Check out Lewis Jetta playing in the WAFL state game at the age of 17.

The goal at 1:40 is insane.

As others have suggested it will likely be picks 1 and 3.

It is far from a forgone conclusion though. We will beat Freo I think. But Freo still have home games against Port Adelaide and Essendon to come. Depending on which Freo shows up and which Port and Essendon show up, Freo could pinch one of those which would give us picks 1 and 2.

Either way, we're getting Scully and another quality player. That's enough for me to know.

Good vid, but there is so many stupid highlights in those videos. One highligh was the ball going over jetta's head and someone else kicked the goal, why would we want to see that.

A west coast mate of mine has said for some time that they are really interested in Morabito with their first pick. Clearly the home sickness issue is a major one for all clubs. With the strength of the WA team at the Nationals he was talking up their local crop as having some great options.

Scully and Trengrove for mine - -Maybe Butcher might sneek through to our second round pick (19 I guess), wouldn't that be the perfect result! ( I know, dreaming)

Posted

Scully + pick 2 can be secured as early as next week.

If:

North Melbourne def. Melbourne

AND

Fremantle def. Port (at Subi)

If those two games pan out as shown then we are practically guaranteed picks 1 & 2

Posted

Best case scenario is Scully and Trengove. Hope that if freo gets pick 2 they pick a WA boy (Lucas or Morabito). Saying that i would be happy with Morabito or Rohan at pick 3 anyway.

Looks very good. Whether he's worth a pick 2 or 3 is the question. But you never know what the scouts are saying and thinking.

Is he Neville's brother or cousin?

The thing about drafting is that half the game is assessing where other clubs are ranking the players. We might consider Jetta to be worth a pick 3, but if the other clubs rate him further down the list, it's worth hanging about and hoping he might fall to a later pick for us and picking someone else with pick 3.

From what I understand, in 2007 we were considering both Morton and Grimes with our pick 4. We went with Morton and couldn't believe our luck when Grimes was still available at pick 14. So you never know how it's going to pan out.

Anyway, he looks good. Wouldn't mind seeing him in a Melbourne jumper. It's just the price that is the question.

WE by know means have sown up the priority pick YET.

It's a fools paradise to think that before we play North then FREo'.

Lets Keep our eye on the pill.

I bet we'l beat nrth and freo now

Don't even think it.

I actually have some hope now that we'll even lose the Freo game. They did get up by 50 points against us by half time last year. Granted they lost, and granted it's a different team... But I'd suggest the players would be HUGELY hungry for a win, and we may be their only chance for the rest of the year.

If we do end up losing to them, then it's done and dusted. We could start barracking for the team to win again, and be assured of picks 1 and 2.

no chance for north. Crocker desperately wants and needs a win if he is to be the coach next season, and the players are openly saying they want to get a win for him.

I hope we absolutely [censored] Freo though.....8 goals

Not as good as the one at 7:40... from about 70 out...

I question the opposition though. They're all grown men, even some AFL listed guys, but they were moving like treacle.

Looks pretty spesh, in any case,

i doubt they would take trengove.. i am pretty sure they would stick with a local boy just incase they bail on them..

..plus it is Freo.. they will probably trade it for some old guy or pick some hack predicted to go round 5 or something stupid :lol:

    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
