B20's Top 11

This is not a phantom draft but more of a subjective list of players I liked most based on the videos at the AFL site and on youtube. I wanted to do a longer and more comprehensive list but this is all I had time for. Will be interesting to look back on in a few years from now.

1. Tom Scully – Nuggety and determined, looks like a midfield workhorse. The type of player who will become the heart & soul of a midfield. The logical #1 choice.

2. Callum Bartlett – Fast, skillful, strong and evasive. Doesn’t look to have a weakness in his game. The only reason I haven’t got him at number 1 is the doubts over his fitness.

3. Jack Trengove – Well balanced, prototype midfielder who looks strong in most areas. The most assured pick of the draft.

4. Daniel Talia - Awkward kicking action and looks more of a defender than a forward but is tough as nails and strong overhead and just looks a solid player.

5. Kane Lucas – Skillful and pacy with good awareness.

6. Liam Patrick - Saw footage of him for the first time last night and he looks impressive. Skillful with great agility and determination. I tip he will make it and would love for him to do it at Melbourne.

7. Levi Casboult – Looks like the best tall forward in the draft to me. Exceptionally strong overhead and reliable in front of goal with great strength and action.

8. Mitchell Carter – Looks like a smart player with good skills and decision making. Surprised I haven’t heard a lot about him.

9. Taylor Duryea – Looks quick & smart with a lovely kicking action. Surprised I haven’t heard much about him either.

10. Myles Pitt – Great overhead and on the lead and looks a natural forward.

11. Jack Fitzpatrick – Only saw his video for the first time today and he looks extremely agile, & skillful for a player of his size & reads the game well. I like him more than Vardy & Gawn.

Other players I liked were Ben Cunnington, Luke Tapscott, Jasper McMillan-Pittard, Alexander Stopp & Aaron Black.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
