THE DRAFT: TAC CUP FUTURE STARS ROLLING DRAFT

[Machsy 2,858]

Luke Dunstan is heavily overrated by those that don't know.

I've watched a bit of him & been thoroughly unimpressed.

Most would be more interested if you articulated why.

Plough finished off his top 10 after stopping at 5 last week:-

1. GWS TOM BOYD (Eastern Ranges)

2. Melbourne JAMES AISH (South Australia)

3. St. Kilda JOSH KELLY (Sandringham Dragons)

4. W Bulldogs MATT SCHARENBERG (South Australia)

5. Gold Coast JACK BILLINGS (Oakleigh Chargers)

6. Brisbane DOM SHEED (Western Australia)

7. West Coast BEN LENNON (Northern Knights)

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

9. Carlton LEWIS TAYLOR (Geelong Falcons)

10. GWS MATT CROUCH (North Ballarat)

[jackaub 1,402]

Josh Kelly would be a risk. Very skinny but top endurance and silky left foot.

Sound like exactly the type of player Melbourne will go after!

[Ted Lasso 19,549]

if we get a PP we need to draft scharenberg and crouch imo

[Whispering_Jack 30,664]

Dominic Sheed who is a favourite among some has dropped our of Plough's top 10:-

1. GWS TOM BOYD (Eastern Ranges)

2. Melbourne JAMES AISH (South Australia)

3. St. Kilda JOSH KELLY (Sandringham Dragons)

4. W Bulldogs MATT SCHARENBERG (South Australia)

5. Gold Coast JACK BILLINGS (Oakleigh Chargers)

6. Brisbane BEN LENNON (Northern Knights)

7. West Coast LEWIS TAYLOR (Geelong Falcons)

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

9. Carlton MATT CROUCH (North Ballarat)

10. GWS DARCY GARDNER (Geelong Falcons)

[What 18,810]

Scharenberg would have to be a huge chance to be taken by us at pick 2

[Ted Lasso 19,549]

might as well write melb next to 3 and 9 3 for pp and 9 for watts

[Machsy 2,858]

Most would be more interested if you articulated why.

Not a bad kick, but a bit of a plodder. Not overly quick or agile.

Not particularly great at reading the play.

Maybe Tapscott with a bigger tank?

I just was a bit disappointed, and can't understand the hype, beyond people being obsessed with not choosing another Morton/Watts marshmallow.

lewis taylor

severe foot injury

[rjay 25,088]

lewis taylor

severe foot injury

Has he been training with us already?

[jazza 1,323]

Has he been training with us already?

no,but it puts him high on our recruiting list of wants

perhaps we could ask his doctor to get the injury to be ongoing ,yyyeeeeeesssssssssss,draft him

[Whispering_Jack 30,664]

Caught up with Sunday's programme and there have been some minor changes to the list and there will be more now that placings for the non-finallists have been determined :-

1. GWS TOM BOYD (Eastern Ranges)

2. Melbourne JAMES AISH (South Australia)

3. St. Kilda JOSH KELLY (Sandringham Dragons)

4. W Bulldogs MATT SCHARENBERG (South Australia)

5. Gold Coast JACK BILLINGS

(Oakleigh Chargers)

6. West Coast BEN LENNON (Northern Knights)

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

8. Brisbane DOM SHEED (Western Australia)

9. Carlton MATT CROUCH (North Ballarat)

10. GWS DARCY GARDNER (Geelong Falcons)

[Whispering_Jack 30,664]

Plough stuffed up with his draft order by giving Essendon pick #9. In reality, Adelaide should be at #8 between Brisbane and North Melbourne. The Kangaroos will take Luke McDonald at #9. Unless they trade up, Essendon won't be seen until halfway through the third round. Plough's improver is tall Northern Knight midfielder Marcus Bontempelli who comes in at the expense of Dom Sheed. I actually like the look of him:-

1. GWS TOM BOYD (Eastern Ranges)

2. Melbourne JAMES AISH (South Australia)

3. St. Kilda JOSH KELLY (Sandringham Dragons)

4. W Bulldogs MATT SCHARENBERG (South Australia)

5. Gold Coast JACK BILLINGS

(Oakleigh Chargers)

6. West Coast BEN LENNON (Northern Knights)

7. Brisbane MARCUS BONTEMPELLI (Northern Knights)

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

9. Essendon MATT CROUCH (North Ballarat)

10. GWS DARCY GARDNER (Geelong Falcons)

Bontempelli is a cousin of Nick dal Santo and was featured on the TAC Cup: Future Stars programme and looks a gem.

[dazzledavey36 55,347]

Luke Dunstan will have a better career then aish and kelly. Is a born natural leader, tough as guts, clearence specialist, kicks goals, and would make a impact straight away like Wines has done this year.

Trust me he will make up for not having Wines there mark my words.

I worry that we won't even be in the first round of the draft. Roos is talking up the need for ready made players now I.e. we are offering number 2 for an established mid fielder. If we snaffle a top liner through free agency or we trade a big for a mid or we get a priority pick we may be chance to look at Luke. But I agree, depending on who we get prior to the draft, I go for the leader, hard nut. You don't need dozens of them but you need two or three and once you have them in place you can look at the highly skilled outsiders. Unfortunately we worked the other way, we looked for the fast running, lightly framed outsiders first, sprinkled with some lightly framed tall forwards. The rest will happen trust me. That is history. I hope we have learnt something.

[Grimseyisgod 378]

are the any Ollie Wines/Jack Viney types of players in the draft?

[Elwood 3184 1,338]

are the any Ollie Wines/Jack Viney types of players in the draft?

Marcus Botempelli or Matt Crouch with James Tsitas as a later selection

[Elwood 3184 1,338]

This is the draft order so far -

1. GWS

2. Melbourne

3. St. Kilda

4. W Bulldogs

5. Gold Coast

6. West Coast

7. Brisbane

8. North Melbourne

9. Collingwood

10. GWS

11. Richmond

Adelaide and Essendon are out of the first two rounds.

[DEELIRIOUS 156]

Bontempelli is a young Pendles. Smooth mover and is tall. Get on him.

[Goat 98]

Nathan Freeman

[GrandOld 367]

Adelaide willingly gave up first and second rounders as a good will gesture last year and are also out for first and second this year.

[demonchris 162]

Earlier in the year, I said to keep an eye on a guy called Jake Owen from the cannons. He was highlighted today by Nick Dal Santo as a kid who should win the Morrish Medal ... definitely a great player with a great attitude.

[demonchris 162]

Bontempelli is a young Pendles. Smooth mover and is tall. Get on him.

Knightmare over on Bigfooty really rates him.

[Moonshadow 17,677]

Adelaide have no first or second round picks this year. Confirmed. However, they can trade into those rounds.

And of course, Ess have no 1st or 2nd rounders either.
