Demonland Draft: Closest to pin


H_T

Recommended Posts

OK here goes:

1. Tom Scully

2. Jack Trengove, or his sister who is apparently runs faster

11. Talia or, if gone, Panos/Carlisle/Griffiths...BP will know who is the best fit

18. Troy Taylor..love his kicking style, have a feeling he will be a gun

34. Max Gawn - the last ruckman we had named Max turned out all right, lets go again... by the way, what number did Tangles wear??

50. Dylan Grimes

PSD Mitch Thorpe, or if he can't be salvaged, Liam Patrick or Majak Daw (if they last this far). Tehel also may still be available and could be worth the gamble...but I would love BP to have free licence to conjure up a total bolter with this pick.

This means we don't get Ball and I don't think he is worth trading a ND pick for anyway with his strong preference to play elsewhere

Also assuming WCE take Jetta and Butcher goes before our pick 11

The sitar has never played more sweetly!

Not one mention of Ball yet. I get a feeling he might end up a demon after draft night.

This is my guess at the moment, could be more a wishlist. I'll update closer to draft night.

1 - Scully

2 - Trengove

11 - Talia

18 - Ball/Tapscott

34 - James Craig

50 - ................

psd1 - .............

Apart from who we draft,,,i'll be interested to hear the reasons how we choose pick #1 over pick #2...these boys are both superstars...i think whoever goes number 1 isn't going to feel the pressure as much as jack did.

don't know any players but i'll consider the following:

1 - Trengove

2 - Scully

11 - best available KPP

18 - best available KPP

34- best available

50 - best available

psd - thorp.

pretty pumped about this draft. it's been a bloody long year!

I'll have 2 cracks -

1. Scully

2. Trengove

11. Vardy

18. Ball

34. Joel McDonald

51. Liam Patrick

PSD 1. Thorp

or...

1. Scully

2. Trengove

11. Worst available

18. Worst available

34. Worst available

51. Worst available

PSD 1. Robbo

Sorry about the 2nd list, just taking the pi$$ out of those who continually say "best available". Of course we are going to take the best available at the pick you twats!!!! Use names people rather than that boring line! Don't think BP (or whoever it is reading the names out on draft night) will say "pick 34, number 11111, best available" :lol:

I can't see us taking 3 recycled players. Maybe 2, if we want Ball. But if we want MacDonald, that will be PSD.

By best available people mean taking the best of the remaining players as opposed to taking a player based on their position.

For example, some people think we should take a key position forward at Pick 11 no matter what. That's not taking the best available, it's filling a gap in the list. There might be a better player, who happens to be a midfielder, or defender.

I can understand that titan, but this thread is after NAMES!!!

Probably right about 3 recycled players, but thought I'd throw my opinion out there like the rest. Just think we have got a great % of 0-50 game players, as well as our few 120+ game players, just think we could do with 2 or 3 more in the 51-119 game bracket to have a bit better balance.

1. Scully

2. Trenny

11. Talia

18. Tapscott

34. Daw

50. Grimey2

PSD 1. Joel McDonald

Went with Talia ahead of Vardy and others because of his superior kicking and disposal.

HOPE Tappy and Daw are still there at 18 and 34.

Jack Grimes will be a Star, definetely worth the risk on young Dylan.

If we take Thorp.. surely were not that daft? Or do we want a 'hit-man' D. Rhys-Jones type? If we have to spend the money somehow, then Joel for me.

Maybe Liam Patrick as a back up for an already taken Daw / Grimey2? ..Or if anyone is silly enough to pick up Newts / Meese :lol: and frees up a rookie spot

Can someone tell me what I am missing with Tapscott. Best kick in the draft allegedly but he looks like this years Rockliff for mine. Why would we take him at 11 instead of a tall or a true mid? Where does he fit as an AFL footballer? I am missing something I think....

First two picks go without saying. I'd like to see us take the best ruckman in the draft with 11 as our ruck stocks are exceptionally weak. Ball at 18 is a bargain. Upgrade on Brock, professional attitude, perfect to mentor the kids and is ready to make an impact immediately. Picks 34 and 50 are roughies but that gives us 3 mids, 1 ruckman, 2kpp and 1 med forward.

He's got great disposal, a great kick / kick for goal, really hard at the ball / player

BP or whoever it was suggested we would look to get a KPP with pick 11 so thats why i personally hope he's still around at 18.

Icing on the cake type player for mine, a Chapman / Stewart Dew type that would compliment his good mate J. Trengove across our half-forward line next year-

With Trenny being groomed for an eventual permanent midfield role, imo Tappy would be more the dead-eye-dick banging it home from 50.

I'd love Tapscott at 11. The Chapman comparison is quiet accurate I think. I also think it'd be good for young Jack to have a close mate from SA come to Melbourne with him.

Agree.

Tapscott has a great booming kick, he and syvia could just about kick the lenth of the MCG.

C'mon mate, he's best mates with Trengove. People around here love that sort of stuff.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
