    Pick 40 MELBOURNE

    Chris Cain

    Club: Port Melbourne

    D.O.B: 14.17.1987

    Height: 181cm

    Weight: 83kg

    Port Melbourne will continue the trend of propelling mature age talent into the AFL system again this year, and it will come in the way of prolific goal-kicking midfielder, Chris Caine who will be highly sought after. The medium midfielderhad an outstanding season with Port Melbourne in the VFL, also won the Frank Johnson Medal as Victorias best player against WA this year. Caine has really good speed and agility and excels at clearances where his stoppage work is first class. Known to rack up big numbers of the ball and impact on the scoreboard, Caine is the Sam Dwyer of this years draft. Given Melbourne are on the hunt for mature age players who can really offer midfield hardness and the ability to impact the scoreboard, Id tip the Dees to take Cain this draft.

    If Zak Jones is available, obviously that's a steal and mst be done. :)

    From the lists at the start of this thread, I'd lean towards Spina. Convinced that with later picks you should go with the 'natural footballers' and see how far they can come in a fully professional environment.

    Assuming the we are, now, a fully professional environment.

    That, or some roadrunners to mix up the pace a bit.

    options here are

    tall key position backs: Cameron Giles or Daniel Mcstay

    tall rebounding half backs:Tom Cutler or Nick Bourke

    small fwds: Dwayne Wilson or Jay Kennedy-Harris

    more midfielders: Nick Holman or James Tsitas

    this is based on our needs and possible available players

    Fingers crossed Daniel McStay is available at pick 40

    would rather Cameron Giles, myself, but to each his own. I do agree we need another KPD though (among many things)

    If Zak Jones is available

    Would need a miracle. Being talked about later first round, hard to see him getting all the way to 40.

    I reckon Isaiah Miller could fill that void and a very good chance he'll still be available at Pick 57.

    187cm, 82kg

    Isaiah is a really great prospect watched a fair bit of him playing with the Bendigo pioneers, played with Ollie wines last year. He is an athlete (has pace, agility and endurance),and although at the moment plays in the backline, he could easily turn into a really solid midfielder.. Lots of upside with this guy, and would do anything to get there.

    Holman for me if he is available. Tough, tall, get's a lot of ball.

    Would need a miracle. Being talked about later first round, hard to see him getting all the way to 40.

    It does happen, though.

    And he is only a HBF.

    Still, very unlikely.

  • Quote

    If Garlett is available it must be him. All the concrete choices will be in place but the magic is what makes our game our game. And we the MFC, post the Wiz and LJ don't have it.

    Skilled and determined we hope, but pedestrian. Where is the point of difference?

  • Quote

    Perhaps Errin Wasley-Black? Was talked about plenty last year, and his only issue seems to be playing in a subpar NT Thunder team this year.

    A HBF type, wouldn't be too surprised if we picked him up.

  • Quote

    alex pearce sounds like an interesting prospect

  • Quote

    From everything I'm hearing Cameron Giles is still likely to be there at Pick 40.

    195cm, 93kg KPD who provides a heap of run. With no real back up after Chip, Garlo and Tommy Mac we need to snap this guy up if he's still there at 40!

    about as much chance of that happening, as there is of Scharenberg falling to pick 9.

    Would be a bumper draft if we were able to nab those 2 at picks 9 & 40 respectively!

  • Quote

    A small forward would be handy ... Malcolm Karpany, Dwayne Wilson or Jay Kennedy-Harris.

    No small forwards please.

    Holman could be there and I'm pretty sure he's the type we are looking for, 187cm strong inside/out mid hard at it developing well.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
