2012 Draft ... #3 Jack Viney, then pick 4 ??

Featured Replies

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
