ashdemons22 235 Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 We any chance of getting him? Most of the talk going around is we will trade off pick #13, which is most likely where he will be around about. Have a read of the article below. If he is in the red and blue next year, I wont be complaining I like everything about him. http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/149122/default.aspx

BarnDee 287 Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 yeah , he writes up pretty good , where (pick) will he go ?
Little Richard 6,265 Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Membrey is the kind of guy I can see sliding a long way. Similar to Matthew Panos a few years ago who kicked a heap of goals in the championships, made AA CHF and didn't get drafted. Was a bit undersized, like Membrey but having said that I like the latter and wouldn't mind picking him up in the second round. 1st round, nah.
H_T 3,049 Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Line up behind me: Like that Tim Membrey. I think he's got it (superstar quality), and it appears he's ready to go. Worth consideration at pick 13 IMO.
The Great One 99 125 Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 If he is still available, I think that Jake Stringer would be a better option. Membrey sounds good, but you get the feeling he will slide a bit, due to his lack of height.

The Great One 99 125 Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 No. Membrey may be good. Í just think that if it was between the 2, I would go with the taller option.
rpfc 29,030 Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 If we think he can be a mid - absolutely. His name lends itself to a Cypress Hill classic...
The Great One 99 125 Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Insane. Sounds good. Are we giving him a nickname already.
Pennant St Dee 13,461 Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Like the look of him from brief highlights I have seen, may be small for a forward but seems (and pardon my french) to have thatbit of c%*t about him which every team needs. No more bruise free footy with the likes of him, Viney and possibly a Wines in our side. Also another year into our younger guys who by now will be sick off being pushed around by the bigger sides. I recall the Cats about 9 years ago getting pushed around by the bigger and older sides now look at them So what if we have to take JV at Pick 3 look at Membrey if available at Pick 22/23 or whatever it is and if JV goes to second round would not be adverse at taking Membrey at 13 if best available

Demon trucker 1,800 Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 he not under sized 189cm is not under sized he the same Height as Ablett snr, jason dunstell, those two would not drafted, these days height is overrated, look at blaire and co at the pies, short and very good Recuiters are sheep, they lessen to the hype, beep test, running test are over rated, simon goddfre was the best runner in his time at the dees. The frist thing recuiter should be asking, can he hit a target, can he get the, ball can he play. Ever thing else u can train up later, its easy to train fitness then to teach them to kick
Straight Sets Simon 23,113 Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 I really don't understand the paranoia people here have about height.
The Great One 99 125 Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 I am not concerned about height. If he is the better option then pick him. But if Í could not decide between 2 players, then I would pick the taller guy.
ashdemons22 235 Posted October 5, 2012 Author Posted October 5, 2012 Jack Darling stands ar 190cm, Membrey at 189cm. Will be a steal if we get him at #23 but I doubt it since his value has gone up with media attention. If we get C Dawes, Having Dawes an Clark in the foward line, he will play the same role Darling does as 3rd tall. Im just so hyped about this Kid.
Philthy 284 Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Pick 13 for him please. Built like a brick shizenhousen and has that mongrel look about him. Exactly what we need!

Media hype would have little influence among recruiting circle inner sanctum decisions and draftees value.
