It's early on but I'd suspect Billings will go one in the next draft.

Why are they trianing with us when we don't even know if we will get them in the draft?

I guess it's a form of work experience, IDD. Gives them a taste of the clubs in general.

Can't get my head around talk of 2013 draft already.

Hopefully we'll finish too high to consider a top 5 pick. The other reason we might not get a top 5 pick is too terrible to contemplate.

they might get Kneecapped? or is that kidnapped? ah well. Yooou knoowww,,, what I like.

It's a special short-term arrangement with all clubs as part of these kids being AIS-AFL academy players.

Is also an opportunity to improve the perception of the club. If these kids are treated well and can see the professionalism that appears to be more prevalent they will spread the good news about Melbourne. It would be good to be viewed as rivals to other clubs in this off field fashion. Sends all the right messages.

Lets hope we are not talking about the draft by round 2 like last season.
