Terry Wallace produced edition 1 of his weekly "rolling draft" for 2013 on today's TAC Cup Future Stars:-

1. GWS TOM BOYD (Eastern Ranges)

2. Melbourne JOSH KELLY (Sandringham Dragons)

3. St. Kilda JAMES AISH (South Australia)

4. Brisbane JACK BILLINGS (Oakleigh Chargers)

5. W Bulldogs MATT SCHARENBERG (South Australia)

6. North Melbourne LUKE MCDONALD (Oakleigh Chargers F/S)

7. Gold Coast JONATHON MARSH (Western Australia)

8. Port Adelaide MATT CROUCH (N Ballarat Rebels)

9. Adelaide DARCY GARDINER (Geelong Falcons)

10. West Coast DAYLE GARLETT (Western Australia)

There will be plenty of changes over the next six months before the draft is held at the Gold Coast Convention Centre in late November. Of course, the MFC could get a priority pick if Redleg's blueprint works.

People keep saying that Queen's Birthday is our Grand Final (which annoys the crap out of me), but Draft day has become our GF.

I figured some of the rankings here are quite shocking, especially Terry Wallace (the former Tambling selector). Anyway let's start. Dominic SHEED: Is not as good or as high as some consider, good

Does Wallace know something that we don't know about the Priority pick?

Dunstan and Sheed both missing? Goddamn.

Also, I would think the Giants won't take Boyd, unsuited to needs. Aish is #1 OVR it seems, then Sheed/Boyd/Dunstan should be that next bracket. Would think Boyd will go to either the Lions or the Dogs as St Kilda will try to go for mids after drafting Tom Lee last year as a long-term replacement for Riewoldt.

Just watched the tape. Certainly worth a look notwithstanding his size. I wouldn't be disappointed if we picked him up!

I also suspect one of the clubs out West are doing a hush job similar to the Jack Darling and Dean Cox episodes with Blake Acres. By all accounts ahead of Dom Sheeds and Jack Billing but won't play the under 18 champs because of a shoulder. Should be looked at IMO

More than anything I want a bloody star. Is that too much? A bloke who we'll be talking about in 20 years but not in the same manner as I talk about Cale.

I noted today in the AGE the comparison between the recruiting of St Kilda compared to Geelong. Makes interesting reading and proves that Geelong are the masters of identifying talent. St KIlda have retained 5 out of 24 recruits since the 2008 season at a 20% retention rate, on the other hand Geelong is at 80 % and there are mainly in the 20 to 40 draft pick range. It makes a mockery of the value of top 10 picks and some of the heat our recruiters share should be sent to the Saints. Note that over the 4 years (08-11) there were NO trades for recycled players by Geelong. Recommend looking at the table and the names and the time frame in which they develop

I don't believe it was Geelongs drafting skills but more their development of young players (their culture).

No conspiracy here with ACRES did his AC joint in colts game for West Perth, will be right to play with their senior side when championships finish and he wont be hiding it's not in him. No way they will be able to hide this kid under the radar, will go 2nd round IMO

Wallace is a [censored], as if Dayle Garlett is going to go top 10, not a chance...

Actually, not even a remote chance.

He was the best player in last years draft and didn't get drafted at all.

The chances of him going top ten after all that has gone on - slim to none.

Whoever gets him might get a freak - but the risk is there and sides don't risk first round.

Well, unless they are MFC, they take Lucas Cook or Gysberts instead.

Here's a par on Dominic Sheed who sounds a bit like an Ollie Wines type (I haven't seen him yet so I stand corrected).

AIS-AFL Academy member Dom Sheed followed his best-on-ground effort in round one with another irrepressible performance.

Sheed is strong, hunts the ball, doesn't fumble and has a booming left-foot kick, all ingredients of a top-end draft pick come November.

He picked up a game-high 34 disposals and dominated the stoppages, the WA captain continuing his strong lead-in to next week's division one meeting with the highly-fancied Vic Metro side.

Smith sets gold standard for WA

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
