However, we should have learnt by now that it's not only important that we get players with natural talent but it's how we develop that talent that counts.

Big fat, eff yeah from me...

We do look very accomplished in that area now thankfully.

Before anyone gets too carried away, we still have 10 games left and a couple of the clubs ahead of us are looking decidedly shaky. Picks 3 and 4 could well turn into picks 5 and 6. My feeling is we

Three ways this could play out I reckon if we end up with picks 3 & 4.

SCENARIO 1

We're forced to use pick 3 on Viney:

3. Viney

4. Toumpas

13. Dayle Garlett, Ben Kennedy, Shannon Taylor???

26. Maybe a Rory Atkins?

SCENARIO 2

We can get Viney with our 2nd round pick

3. Toumpas

4. Stringer

13. Dayle Garlett, Ben Kennedy, Shannon Taylor???

26. Viney

SCENARIO 3

We let GWS have Viney with pick 2.

3. Toumpas

4. Vlastuin

13. Dayle Garlett, Ben Kennedy, Shannon Taylor???

26. Maybe a Rory Atkins?

Thoughts???

Scenario 3 ... NO WAY IN HELL. Jack Viney and MFC should commit - NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES. Send the world the message. He wants to play for us and nowhere else, and we want Jack above all others !!!

Agree with your scenario 1 and 2 ...getting Viney, Toumpas, Gartlett would be a huge boost. Gartlett is liken to Cyril Rioli, maybe better at same age. There you go. And at 24, more likely Sean Lynch, Tom Carter, or Jason Pongrecic.

Vlastuin seems the best of that crop...

We could really use a bona fide clearance winner with a bit of mongrel?

Sounds a lot like moloney but goes harder, could well shame a few of the blokes into going harder

I'd like us to try to pick up a hard at it mid like Vlastuin, hopefully with our midround comp pick

I'm starting to waver on Boak as I read of the Talent about in the 1st Rnd. Unless we can get Boak with a direct trade of players?

I like the sound of Wines after reading up & also Stringer, or *Hogan

Wines + Stringer + Vlastuin would be Dandy from the 1st Rnd.

if you had pick 5,6,7 yes (!!!)

1-Whitfield 2- Grundy 3- Viney 4- Toumpas 5- Stringer 6- Wines 7 - Vlastin 8- Mayes 9- Menzel 10-Plowman 11- Kennedy

so its at #12 Gartlett as best option clearly.

AND at pick 24 Jason Pongracic ... Dandenong Stingrays

Latest news on Pongracic

The 18-year-old co-captain of the Dandenong Stingrays has been named in the latest Australian Institute of Sport intake for under-18s.

The year 12 student is performing a juggling act of maintaining his studies at Koo Wee Rup Secondary College, football training during the week and playing competitively at the weekend. “It’s pretty hard to balance at times,” he said. But the Cranbourne teen, who would love to be drafted by Collingwood, makes use of his spare periods during school hours to catch up on his homework.

Stingrays coach Graeme Yeates called Pongracic “your classic on-ball, hard-at-the-footy type”. “He’s got a big, strong body and craves a contest,” Yeates said.

Pongracic, who is also part of the Vic Metro team currently competing at the AFL U18 National Championships, is hoping he’ll be drafted to his beloved Collingwood Magpies this year, but would gladly move to any club that recruited him.

Well that's a relief.

For a second there I thought every other club would need to leave him for Collingwood.

I think the better ball users will go higher than raw toughness, so I rate Viney around 6th-ish.

I wouldn't be surprised to see GWS pass Grundy for a ready made Mid who has the build to go, so Toumpas or Wines I can imagine @ GWS or even @ the Suns. They need 'ready to trot' players.

Whitfield & Grundy may slip a rung or 3.

Heres hoping anyway.

# Toumpas I had in my head as a small (176cm), until your post.

jack martin anyone

Oli Wines, a close friend of the Viney's is the closest to Martin type in this draft. however, Martin maybe a longer kick.Wines will go top 15 IMO, may go earlier.

I think you are going to eat your words, diesel.

Jack Viney will be great.

I totally agree with you for the first time ever.And by the way, he will play this Wednesday and show why he is worth a Pick as No.1,2 or 3. He is a beauty .

Whitfield had a shocker on Friday against Metro,he'd want to show more on Wednesday.

Maybe GWS will "let" Gold Coast win in round 20 to secure pick 1 and take Grundy,they seriously need him with Bogan on the way out.

Our best case scenario would be Grundy @ pick 3 and Viney @ pick 22 ish.Grundy will slot right in when Russian finishes and Gawn is an unknown quantity at this stage.

I'd still be happy with Viney and Grundy at picks 3 & 4.

For anyone interested, I tweeted Emma Quayle; the draft expert today and she replied saying that if the draft was held today with no exemptions or F/S, Jack would certainly be drafted in the top 10.

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    PREGAME: Rd 18 vs Essendon

    The Demons are back at the MCG once again and will once again be fighting for a spot in the Top 8 as they come face to face with Bombers on Saturday night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    VOTES: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    Captain Max Gawn has a considerable lead over the injured reigning champion Christian Petracca in the Demonland Player of the Year Award. Steven May, Jack Viney & Alex Neal-Bullen, make up the Top 5. Your votes for the win against the Eagles. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
