Looking forward to the next trade period, it is unlikely we will play finals in 2013 and therefore likely we will have a pick anywhere between 1 - 10 at the draft table.

After bringing in Toumpas and Viney into the mix this year, the final piece of our midfield jigsaw puzzle may be to trade up that pick for an established midfield star from another club. Personally I'd be doing all I could to unseat the best of the GC and GWS stars coming out of contract and who may feel 'homesick'.

One more class midfielder with a ready made body and I reckon our side is set.

Was thinking along the same lines in reference to Dom Tyson and how he would be a great addition to the team, classy midfielder with inside and outside ability and a good size. Still yet to be re-signed and there were reports he wanted to go home. Prying him away from Gubby Allen would be no easy feat, I'm sure we would have to pay through the roof for him.

This time last year, most of us were convinced we would sit around the middle of the table and would have to use our first round pick on Viney.

The season hasn't even begun yet and we still have the tanking enquiry to come which may or may not affect our draft picks.

Seth Fiegels looks very impressive. Nuggety, good skills, one touch player goal kicking mid.

Was on the junior pro surfing circuit but developed an allergic reaction to board wax.

this is a useless thread.

So many scenarios can play out now, that can change so much.

Jeezus, we've just picked up our current crop of youngsters. Who knows where we will finish at end of 2013, let alone the outcome of the Wilson Witchhunt. Give us time to take a breath. One thing is certain, we're gonna love watching Jesse Hogan develop this year.

Why don't we have a look at your man Garlett if he's still available.

I don't understand how our side can go from missing the finals to being 'set' with the addition of one player.

Lets get him .

agreed .. tough mid. Long left foot kick. Knows how to get the footy. Will be around pick 5 to 7. ( Aish, Boyd , Kelly & Billings as top 4 then Scharenberg, Dunstan & Tsitas ).

I'm god friends with Billings, and coached him for a small period.

Absolute jet, would go into the elite category for kicking in the AFL right now.

Does struggle to hold a tag - BIG TIME

Can someone confirm if NMMNG is Range Rover the former King of starting threads.

FFS while we are at it how about we start a thread on the 2016 draft period.

4 months to go before First Bounce

Whats it matter.

it's a valid discussion, next draft especially since we are in the recruiting period at the moment.

anyway RR was OK, I never had any disagreements with him.

It does take 2 to have a disagreement.

Scharenberg will be no 1 , he will be a superstar. Billings not far behind.

If we get to keep our picks and don't trade them (likely to do so) then the following players could be in the mix.

Billy Hartung or Lewis Taylor to inject some real ball winning pace into the squad or Ben Lennon if we wany to continue the theme of bigger bodied midfielders. All local kids who have class and have a go!

My parents used the Billings Method as strict Catholics. I am the eldest of 7.

Not sure what that means.

Maybe you shouldn't have mentioned that: I can envisage opponents covering themselves with board wax, and maybe surreptitiously slipping some on to the ball :-)

He'll just have to give it off quicker.

Can't have a rash around the webbing.

A rash of possessions will do.

Here is an AFL story on some of next years crop of draft possibles.

The next crop

THERE is a long way to go until next year's NAB AFL Draft, and a lot can happen between now and then.

But some talented players from across the country have been identified already. Here are 10 to keep an eye on next year - names you're likely to hear a lot more about.

James Aish
Norwood
183cm/72kg
Midfielder
There are some players who look at ease on the football field and Aish is one of those. The midfielder gets the ball and always seems like he knows what he's going to do with it next. He's quick enough and tall enough, and has the skills to execute all the plans he makes when he has the ball. Showed his talent last month when he starred for Norwood in its SANFL Grand Final win as a 16-year-old. Aish has a long family history of footballers and he is the next generation.

Jack Billings
Oakleigh Chargers
180cm/73kg
Half-forward
If he continues his rate of development it wouldn't be a surprise to see Billings placed well within the top five picks next year. He's a sharp half-forward with elite kicking skills and a strong overhead mark. Billings reads the game better than most and he loves the big stage, playing his best footy when it counts. Might play a bit more through the midfield next year but he already has a lot going for him.

Tom Boyd
Eastern Ranges
198cm/100kg
Key forward
Boyd is a strong-marking, straight-kicking full forward who made a lot of people take notice of him this year. He was the TAC Cup's leading goalkicker (44 goals) and played four games for Vic Metro. He saved his best game of the championships against Vic Country, where he grabbed five marks and kicked three goals. He forced his way into the AIS-AFL Academy squad after missing out last year and he belongs among the best players his age in the country.

Matt Crouch
North Ballarat Rebels
180cm/75kg
Midfielder
The younger brother of Adelaide's Brad Crouch was part of the mini-draft crop this year, and was not too far off the mark after an impressive season. A natural footballer, Crouch sees the ball at stoppages and just knows how to make it his. He shoots off handballs, but is good by foot and is strong over the ball. Averaged 19 disposals at 77 per cent efficiency in four games for Vic Country.

Luke Dunstan
Woodville-West Torrens
184cm/82kg
Midfielder
Dunstan was a member of the group invited to the NAB AFL Draft Combine due to his mini-draft eligibility. He probably wasn't in the frame for selection this year, but will be well on the radar next season. Strongly built and with nice skills, Dunstan also has soft hands, which make him a difficult proposition when he shifts forward. Mostly an inside midfielder, though, who loves getting the ball and swinging on his left foot.

Josh Kelly
Sandringham Dragons
181cm/71kg
Midfielder
If not for two outstanding West Australians - Jack Martin and Jesse Hogan - Kelly would probably already be at an AFL club, getting things organised and working at a plan ahead of his debut in 2014. Kelly was in this year's mini-draft pool, and although Martin headed to the Gold Coast and Hogan to Melbourne, Kelly was a clear third. The midfielder can run all day, has a brilliant left-foot kick, and clubs already love his mature demeanour.

Luke Reynolds
Port Adelaide
186cm/85kg
Forward
Reynolds has a handy knack of popping up and kicking goals when his team needs them. He has a raking left-foot kick and has played mostly as a forward to this point, but has been tried a little bit this year through the midfield and off half-back to further his football development. Didn't break into SA's team for a game at this year's championships, but will be there next year.

Matt Scharenberg
Glenelg
189cm/88kg
Defender/forward
The talented South Australian gave up a promising baseball career (he represented Australia at junior level) to have a go at footy, and it's been a good decision. He has spent most of the last couple of years playing as either a second tall defender or forward, but will probably end up tall midfielder. Has great athleticism and all the physical qualities that will appeal to clubs about this time next year, and complements them knowing the game.

Dominic Sheed
Subiaco
185cm/82kg
Midfielder
Sheed is a powerful midfielder who can burst through packs, pick up the ball and keep running with it. When a contest needs to be won he isn't afraid to make it happen, and his endurance allows him to do that time and time again during games. With Martin and Hogan already leaving the state through the mini-draft, Sheed is one of the top West Australian talents for next year.

Lewis Taylor
Geelong Falcons
173cm/72kg
Midfielder
Taylor is a small midfielder who loves to run with the ball tucked under one arm and take the game on. He might be small but Taylor is solidly built and isn't afraid to go and get the ball himself. He has some pace, and some skills to match. Taylor saved his best game of the championships against South Australia, where he gathered 21 disposals and kicked two goals in Vic Country's loss.

    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

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
