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.

    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!

  • Quote

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

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

  • Quote

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

    Knightmare over on Bigfooty really rates him.

  • Quote

    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.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.
