What 18,810 Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Now the MFC is in possession of pick 9, and there is some serious talent that will be waiting there for us to help bolster our midfield stocks even further in the wake of the Tyson and Michie signings. Young dynamos like Crouch, Sheed, Bontempelli, Freeman, Salem, Lennon, Koladjashnij..... Over to you Demonland.....
rjay 25,454 Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 I think it's a good pick this year, the midfield talent is pretty good through to the early teens. I like Crouch for his inside work and uncompromising attack on the ball but wouldn't be disappointed with some of the others mentioned. Be interesting to see who we pick up now.

Young dynamos like Crouch, Sheed, Bontempelli, Freeman, Salem, Lennon, Koladjashnij..... Over to you Demonland..... Pretty obvious we rate one of these guys just a high as we do Aish & Kelly - if for no other reason than they have better crash & bash potential.
Machsy 2,858 Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Don't forget Billings I hear he's a closet meth addict, so forget about him... Also kicks puppies and plays violent video games.
ThreeOneSix 954 Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Add Taylor to that list, he will definitely go top 10.
ThreeOneSix 954 Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 I hear he's a closet meth addict, so forget about him... Also kicks puppies and plays violent video games. Yeah the kid has ice in his veins.

Trying to get a job in the West Coast recruiting department are you? Would love to here your thoughts on Jack Darling pre draft!
olisik 4,060 Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 West Coast would be nervous trading pick 6 for 10 and 27 now thinking Sheed will drop to them. Would love to use 9 to cut their lunch.
stevethemanjordan 6,952 Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 For anyone in the know or has perhaps watched the guy play, I'm interested in knowing what Crouch's kicking and decision making is like. Is it comparable to Viney's? If so, I'm all for him.
Good Times Grimes 2,396 Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 I don't want Koladjashnij... his name is too difficult to spell. I approve of any of Freeman, Sheed, Crouch.
Bates Mate 4,520 Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 I would be happy with Billings , watched him two years ago in U/18 champs as an under age player and stood out with his class ,goal kicking, and marking. Just the polish we will need to go with our grunt (jones , Viney, trengrove, tyson .)
Young Dee 1,303 Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Who knows who will fall to pick 9. I guess it depends on what the teams above us need (we already know Boyd and McDonald to North). Don't forget how late Grundy went last year. I actually suggested we get a pick just inside the top ten for the very reason that highly rated players can drop a little in the draft.
whatwhat say what 24,032 Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Get Crouch, lure his bro home in two years, boom! (Or Billings)
Moonshadow 17,678 Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 I don't want Koladjashnij... his name is too difficult to spell. I approve of any of Freeman, Sheed, Crouch. Will find it very difficult to yell his name out at the G. Don't even know where to start.
Die Hard Demon 1,224 Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Nathan Freeman compared to Patrick Dangerfield.. Get him
Good Times Grimes 2,396 Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Will find it very difficult to yell his name out at the G. Don't even know where to start. How is it pronounced? The way it's spelled? How's it spelled? So many issues...PASS
DeeSpencer 26,742 Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 GWS - Boyd. 2-4 (gws, St Kilda, Bulldogs): Kelly, Aish, Scharenberg in some order. Picks 5, 6, 7 - Gold Coast, West Coast, Brisbane Pick 8 - Luke McDonald So the important thing is whoever we had high up in the pick 2 range falls through the Gold Coast, West Coast, Brisbane slot. Will be interesting.
PartyTimeJohnny 537 Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Twomey reckons Koladjashnij has come from nowhere but deserves to be top 10, he would be my prediction as the biggest get this draft
Nasher 33,714 Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Will find it very difficult to yell his name out at the G. Don't even know where to start. Don't worry, just watch a few of our games on TV. No doubt Lynch, Darcy and co will be all over it and get it right.
Young Dee 1,303 Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 GWS - Boyd. 2-4 (gws, St Kilda, Bulldogs): Kelly, Aish, Scharenberg in some order. Picks 5, 6, 7 - Gold Coast, West Coast, Brisbane Pick 8 - Luke McDonald So the important thing is whoever we had high up in the pick 2 range falls through the Gold Coast, West Coast, Brisbane slot. Will be interesting. We just have to hope there are a few teams that won't pick mids or have unusual picks. Wasn't Grundy rated 2nd best in the draft last year but ended up going 12 because of clubs fulfilling other needs first. What are the teams ahead of us most likely in need of? (Boyd and McDonald are already gone - so that leaves 6 players) I think this is a great move - we have picked up a potential star who can have an immediate impact, have the ability to pick up another potential star with pick 9 and upgraded our pick 72 to 53. Better than putting all our eggs in one basket I think (pick 2).
whatwhat say what 24,032 Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 grundy went at 19. i think we're going to get something of some degree of quality here. i'm very pleased by the trade, especially if we get 21 and don't trade it for bernie.

Vince complements the midfield we are starting to assemble. You take out our under 22yo mids we only have Jones, great that we are seeming to put together a group of mids around the same age to come through, the fact is we need some experience in there as well. No idea who we get a 9 but what we can see taking shape is a midfield, we haven't had one for many years.
