Take with a grain of salt. Panos from SA was in the AA team last year and wasn't even drafted. WHo of this lot are key forwards? can someone tell me.

Jcb31. why were you not surprised that Jack Darling was not selected? He has been rumoured to go in the top 3 draft picks this year.

Jack Darling is another Butcher. Showed he was far better than most in the Under 16's and last year due to his matured body. He is 190 cms tall & well built now - but has not got great upside. IMO- will go around 10th pick. Will be another Daniel Rich IMO- ready for action straight away.At 190 cms tall- is he a pivotal forward?-- I don't think he can play in the AFL at 190 cms tall in such a key role as CHF or FF.. Again, I might be wrong but I do not think so.

My top 3 so far are:

Swallow

Bennell

Day

Surprise pick could be --Daniel Gorringe.Another Mathew Watson.

Gorringe 200cm according to reports. At the AIS, also apparently playing senior footy at Norwood, plus now All Australian.

Ticking a few boxes.

Any idea who won the Larke medal for best player?

Harley Bennell- certainty to end up at GC17.

Gorringe will go top 10.

I like Cook personally, or Atley or Jacobs (considering who's likely to be left by our pick).

Lucas Cook is very skinny, ala jack watts. We would have to wait quite a while for those two to develop AFL standard bodies to hold down CHF and FF. Sure we got time, but i would like to see a more traditional Gorilla FF, seeing as we already have the versatile KPF in Watts (touch wood he comes good). Tall 195cm + forwards seem to be all the rage atm, long gone are the days of the traditional monster at FF.

Sure versatility is huge right about now, but there is nothing wrong with a FF that can only play FF, if he does it well. Lockett, Dunstall, Ablett, LLoyd, our own courageous skipper 'Neita' (him being the exception, holding down CHB as well, he's just a champion). Bring back the Gorilla!!!!

Still drafted-- many have been great rookies.

More havent. And being on the rookie list is far cry from the potential reflected in the AA side. No shoo in of stardom

I thought Freak made a valid point on Panos. Hardly worth the "goose" call

Jack Darling is to small to be a forward. Being tried as a midfielder now. Has slipped dramatically from the start of the year. Terrible off field attitude helps too.

Hard to take the All-Australian team with a 'grain of salt'...fairly good indicator for the most part.

Am surprised to see Darling not included. As suggested seems to be destined to slip down a bit like Butcher which likely sees us around the mark should we go for him.

Comment without too much substance but feel the club may go for him given the chance. He would be a good chance to slot straight in and add something without a WHOLE heap of development. We'll see. Interesting times this draft as we will most likely be towards the bottom of the ladder and in the past expect to be taking note of the best 5 kids in the land, but this year we are looking at around the 11th best rated kids due to GC17.

Unless a tall is an absolute standout it is usually these types that slip a bit which would be good for us.

Just look at the current talls that started as rookies- Ruckman in particular that have taken time to develop- Cox, Sandilands, Jamar and Jolly.All vying for AA honours as senior players. Does not say that any player will not make it,however,to be drafted is the start whether on a senior list (AA just showas you are a very good junior)or rookie list, just ask Jordam McKenzie.

Most players that make it in the AA side go on to be star footballers. Furthermore, the two key forwards that made the list were May & Cook.Gorringe played in the ruck and changed in the forward line..

Yeah-haha. I never said he didn't have some talent. But from what I thought of him last year, gut reaction, IMO a risky pick. BUT, I haven't seen him at all this year. I think he's also a tad short as a key forward. As I recall.

Maybe MFC should have picked Panos over Meesen in the Rookie Draft.. A decision they may later regret, only time will tell.

Never.

Even if Panos turned into a serviceable AFL player, the club are forging a culture of being true to their word and that is far more valuable.

your are right about that, but i would like to see the reasoning behind picking a rookie that has played 6 games in 3 years. But, thats why MFC employ the big boys to handle these issues..

Interesting read on this years draft and how the recruiters think...

2010 draft

Interesting how they viewed talls (aside from elite talls) compared to mids but how this year will be different.

Agree with all you state- however I do think May & Darling will make it although they are only 190 cm tall.It will be interesting when & who pick them up.

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
