Based on where we finished this year really interesting to see what our scully compo pics would have got us in this years draft

1st round pick (straight after 12) Pick 13 - Taylor Adams

mid 1st round pick (after other clubs that missed finals 1st round picks) Pick 19 - Elliot Kavanagh

not bad if u ask me

but with a stronger less compromised draft next year, and depending on where we finish, i reckon we should be in line for some good skillful midfielders to go along with Jack Viney

Peoples thoughts?

    Next year's draft is so much better in terms of depth and with GWS having a lot less picks.

    Plus, having a full year under the new coach will give our recruiting team a better understanding of what we need.

    No doubt we did the right thing by holding onto our compo picks for another year. It gives us two first round picks on top of Jack Viney, and if we draft well, it really could extend the length of our window by 2-3 seasons.

    We actually would have only received pick 31 (Jackson Merrett) and pick 32 (Joel Hamling) as per the AFL's activation rules (see article).

    It was definitely the logical thing to hold onto the picks. If next year is as strong as it sounds then a few clubs will be looking to utilise their compensation picks as well. Perhaps we will see only one of ours used next year and bank the other to use from 2013 - 2015.

    we have a possible 5 years i think to use them, so no hurry..

    I like our Pick 54 from last night...yes a risk...But both Todd & Neil would know him well...Big Boy, who can take a mark & is ready to go now & not in 2 years time.

    I think it was more a thought of picks we would get in an uncompromised draft which would be in the teens. but you are right in that we wouldnt get great picks this year obviously, but that isnt an indication of talent available at these picks in the next 4 years.

    So the way I read it, if we finish 9th next year we could have picks 8, 9 and 10.

    Not bad at all.

    dunno how you worked that out

    Lets assume no compo picks of any kind (very unlikely) except for us

    Bottom 9 picks (there are 18 clubs)

    Pick 10 (for 9th place)

    Pick 11 (for after 1st round compo)

    Pick 12 (for 10th place)

    Pick 13 (for mid first round compo - nb 'mid' is 'before finalists')

    Of course throw in other teams compo picks and it all slips further

    Way too hard DC

    I will just wait till next year!

    Sorry for posting this here because I can't find the original thread.

    Curious to know what happened to Waylen Manson? Did he go in the ND?

    Ed: Found answer in other post. Been 300kms south of Kununurra ;)

    There would have been merit in using a compo pick this year, from a tactical perspective. Since GWS had a barrel of picks AND needed to build a side, they would have ignored the "best available" mantra and picked on a needs basis, which would have left some talented players in the teens. That Melbourne chose to ignore the chance to pick up a good player who slipped down the order confirms Melbourne thought 2011 was light for talent at the top end.

    Mind you, if this year's draft was unpolluted Melbourne, who finished 13th, would have got pick 5. If we finish 13th again next year and there are no distortions we will get a substantially better pick than our (traded) 12th pick this year. Even if we double our ladder pozzy next year we will still get a better pick than this year.

    On reflection, using our compo pick this year would have been madness.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
