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.

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.

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..

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
