I'd say Aish plays like Cotchin, and Scharenberg reminds me of Sam Gilbert or Grant Birchall.

Aish will be a well rounded midfielder. He'll start off more outside due to currently weighing 74kgs, but once he adds a bit more size he will develop inside as well. He goes when it's his turn, and his movement trough traffic and ability to hit targets under pressure is brilliant.

I don't think Scharenberg will ever become a proper midfielder. He'll likely become the general of a teams backline in that he'll help his teammates out defensively and also rebound well. He'd definitely be an asset, but we need midfielders and Aish is a more talented player, we'd just need to develop him properly!

Aish is much better with ball in hands than Cotchin, if he can get as much ball then he will be a champ.

I like him because he looks like one of the mean kids in the Mighty Ducks. Which is what I want in a footballer.

It is looking like the Pies who will determine his fate. Heavily predicted to be there at 6. If Pies pass on him, it could be our choice if Lions take McCarthy as suggested, or possibly Aish if he sli

Untrue. Dunny nearly always beats or at least breaks even with his opponent and he is part of a back line that was bombarded and under extreme pressure last year. He lead our rebound 50's, Was top 1

I personally believe that Scharenberg is the player for us. Yes he has only been playing midfield for the past 12 months but look how far he has already come. I see him as a natural footballer who is versatile and quite strong. We need a big bodied mid as we have a lot of those 180-185cm mids in our list. Don't get me wrong, I would love Aish in our side and if we get the priority pick get the pair but we need a bigger mid because im sick of being out muscled in clearances and around the ground.

I agree. Would love both him and Aish, and I know the recruitment staff do their best but seriously, if they're going to get it wrong, at least get it wrong with a player that had the attributes to excel in the first place!

Love the idea of having a guy of his Scharenberg's size lining up at the centre square.

As others have pointed out, we have a lot of small to medium sized mids and not one monster. He would add a lot as he is versatile enough to play multiple positions.

Many great midfields within the AFL have a few players around his build and height.

Goodes, kennedy, Corey, Mundy, Hayes...

Scharenberg would really compliment our midfield well. He is tough, smart and skill-full.

He isn't a midfielder, would get slaughtered in there and would not rectify our mid field issues one bit.

Scharenberg is a key position player IMO, I don't think he will make it as a mid fielder.

Would still be a decent get, just don't expect him to be the answer to our mid field issues.

89kg versus 74kg (Aish) convinces me. We don't want another Gysberts (who is now relegated to Werribee).

Posted this on another thread but there is a big difference between Aish, highly skilled hard working mid to Gysberts, average skills, no tank. That doesn't mean I wouldn't consider Scharenberg though.

No but we don't want another Goddard who lacks pace & at his size took 3 - 4 Yrs to get himself really established as a player.. if he's like Goddard, then pass.

IF we are to go tall & heavier, then I'd like someone of the mold of an Enright or JCorey, Kennedy, Pendlebury types.

.... re young mids, I'd really like to get the toughest mongrelist, nastiest, beast out there, as an inside first touch ball winner. a bigger bodied partner for Viney.

Prime prospects: Matthew Scharenberg

Brief video and article on a likely top 5 pick

He appears focused composed & professional. BUT, is he the same nice guy boy next door we keep on getting hooked on in the drafts???

he looks great but will he help us change or will he just be the same nice type we keep getting for the past 15 years?

I'm not sure, but he sure has a touch of class.

His name is Matt Crouch.

Sounds a likely player for us! Another reason why trading out the top picks will be more or less unlikely with all the talent in the top 20!

I would be happy with either Scarenburg or Sheed having checked the stats on both these exciting young prospects. I'm changing from Aish who has a lighter frame to the stronger bodied mid. God I hope we keep Pick 2 for one of these guys as they look very classy & get plenty of the ball which is just what we need.

    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
