I've seen him play about 10 times this year and can safely safe you have no clue about the draft, he will go first round.

Good on you.

Emma Quayle shares the same view.

Not everyone does though, and I think he'll be taken in the 2nd or 3rd round.

Some people rate Travis Colyer too.

I wouldn't want him at our club.

Well, unbeknownst to you, I have.

Imbecile.

But I just don't rate short players that size.

I don't rate Harvey and I'd always go for a bigger kid.

Remember, it's not about what they are producing now, it's about what they will be able to do at the next level in 3-4 years time.

People who know what they're talking about understand that.

I'm allowed my opinion.

Just like every other twit.

Just like you, princess x

You don't rate Boomer Harvey, enough said!!

I agree. Seen him play a few times and think he can play but not the player we need either! From what i remember not much leg speed and more a clearance in and under player. Would prefer some silky skilled outside players!

Despite Jamar's ruck dominance and astute tap work we've been smashed all too often all year in clearances and stoppages. Theres enough outside leg speed. We need players that can burrow in and get the ball out.

You're just being silly now E25, an annoying little [censored] but a great player

Of course, he is an exception for someone so short in the modern game

Being so small, I wouldn't take a chance on a player like him.

He is a rare rare player.

Harvey's a great player, to watch, But, just how many games has he really been massively influential in. I'm a Harvey fan, but there's some merit in what E25 has said.

Hopefully with us, Blease, has that run & speed, but is 6' tall.

I concede to say that I "don't rate" Harvey is a bit much, but at the same time I think he is overrated and if he were taller he would be a much better player.

Players that size need to have that bit extra just to compete, at AFL level.

Guys like Jarryd Blair and Andrew Hooper were taken late for a reason and I doubt they'll be in the AFL in a few years.

I discriminate against excessively short players.

Sorry.

I do agree that short players have it against them to make it at AFL level.

However you have chosen a horrible choice as an example. Brent Harvey is by no means overrated. He was good this year, but for about 4 years prior to that he was a star, North would have been half the side they were if it wasn't for him.

As Redleg says on another thread, there are 25 days to go. I'm sure we're going to read or hear about every possible permutation and combination available on draft day. Our resident draft guru of the last three years Stevo will be back soon with his views in a couple of stories we're working on together. Stevo has extensive experience in junior football. He has worked at two TAC Cup clubs and is involved in public schools footy as well. His view is that this is a tough draft to predict in the early stages because of the dominance of Gold Coast. As a club, Melbourne has no control over who's going to be there at 12 and it's going to be a bit more of a test for BP than it has been in the past two or three years.

There's all different kinds of tests isn't there? Picking at 12 or trying to decide between Watts and Natanui are two of them - I don't think the second one is less of a test.

Hmm. Actually, I thought that was an easy one.

Watts in less than a heartbeat. I'd always take a footballer over an overrated marketing machine.

In the next 2 years Watts will emerge whilst Natanui will become the average footballer he already is.

Hmmn, I think they'll both be Good footballers,,, with Watts Far more skillfull footballer with his disposal.

Nat, IMO will be a very good big man in the ruck or forward. *He would have made a brilliant Rugby Union Rep for Australia, I reckon.

With picks 12 & 32, i reckon we will draft either a tall forward & HBF, or visa versa. A Darling/Lynch & a HBF who drops, or a Smedts/Atley/Smith & Mitchell. Then i reckon we will draft another KPF/ ruckman @ 49 & 52. Maybe a Sinclair.

I would love to get Darling, but i'd equally love to draft an Atley/Smith & Mitchell (if his shoulder can stand the rigours of AFL). Probably moreso the latter, as it will address 2 key areas for improvement.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
