I beg the MFC to take the two best availble players and that is definetly scully and trengove, our midfield would be set for 10 - 12 years

    I would prefer Morabito's X factor.

    Much more upside.

    Though after seeing Temel live yesterday, i think he could be a real chance for pick number 2.

    He is seriously good and much better than Butcher IMO.

    He is a lot more mobile than i had thought from the reports that i have read.

    Says someone that has no doubt never seen Morabito play. Morabito isn't a risk. At worst he will be a very very good AFL player and at best a star.

    I probably just lean to Trengove, but would be happy with either. As it's a toss of the coin for me I'd take the SA lad, as I believe there's slightly less 'go home' factor - despite Scott Thompson. Trengove has better foot skills whilst Morabito has explosive pace and power. Morabito is also very good with his hands at clearances.

    That said, I voted Scully and Morabito.

    Mind you, I read an article about Morabito yesterday about how he moved out of home last year to live by himself so he was closer for footy.

    And he said he'd go whereever he has to to play AFL.

    Seems an independent young man already who is not too caught up in wanting to stay in his homestate.

    I have nothing to add (as I have seen little of any of these kids) other than I don't want another Molan situation. Just take the best player available and develop Jurrah, Bate, and Watts. And teach Martin how to kick.

    History shows that you need two marking forwards to win a flag... Dunstall/Brereton, Carey/McKernan,Lloyd/Lucas, Brown/Bradshaw/Lynch, Treadrea/Lade/ Ottens/Mooney/N Ablett/ Hawkins,Riewolt/Kositzke, Franklin/Roughead

    Good big men are as rare as hen's teeth. What's Butchcher's attitude like?

    I'm sorry, but Hawkins, Ottens, Mooney and N. Ablett makes that stat very ignorable.

    And what of Jurrah and Watts?

    If we can't develop them into players who can kick 50 goals a season with good service then what are we doing here?

    And Bate kicked 27 goals and had 25 assists with awful delivery and scarce service. He will get worse as we get better?

    History shows you need a quality midfield to win a flag. All those forwards you mention were serviced by a quality midfield. We have Watts and I think we need to find a servicable KPF who can play a role rather than a superstar. If 2 of Scully, Trengove, Morton, Grimes or Blease can become elite mids we will be very competitive for the next 10-12 years.

    Despite what people think elite mids don't grow on trees. We haven't had one for 20+ years. Trengove is my second chioce atm because he is a goalkicker and we desperately need to find more goals from our mids.

    History shows that you can win a premiership with any set up so long as you have a committed, diligent team. I notice you fail to list West Coast's 'two marking forwards' there. That's because they didn't have any.

    Who cares abut his (suspect) attitiude? For pick 2 I want a forward that can kick like Jack Watts or better.

    Not like Juice Newton.

    I was all for picking a mid than tall forward, that was from the little information that I had about the depth of Key forward s in the draft. Over the past few weeks there seems to be a few tall forwards that sound like they can play and I'm confident we can pick one up with pick 18, so my opinion has changed to Scully and Trengove.

    History shows teams with a great midfield and defence win premierships

    With the key forward issue, it adds another string to morabito's bow. He has been labeled as a player who could develop into a pavlich/goodes. As a midfielder, he also adds to our team, because he is a big body around the contest and is someone that can break the lines, and with the amount of zoning in today's game, you need a player who will break up opposition zones.

    I can see Bate, morton, jurrah, watts and potentially morabito all rotating between our forward/midfield, which could create a very dangerous mix for opposition in the future.

    But the club should pick who they believe is best available.

    Ditto for above H.. ;)

    So BA, did you start this thread just to tell us mere mortals 'how it is'?

    Or did you actually want opinion and discussion??

    So have you seen Mora and Trengove live.. or just Mora?

    Or do you see all-from your seat there 'at the right hand of the father'? Dude..

    Looks like trengove just justified 80% of the posters decision with a BOG in a prelim final in the sanfl.

    Why risk our future by not taking him?????????????????

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
