Pick 2 ... Brayshaw

Pick 3 ... Petracca

With Melbourne FC holding both picks! I like it!

IF St Kilda tell us privately they're taking McCartin... well.... not many could argue against getting both Petracca and Brayshaw.

BUT... it's hard not to burned by the past. Watts, Scully, Trenners, the list goes on. All our early draft picks haven't come close to the likes of Hodge, Roughead... even late picks like Fyfe. I know we have the right development coaches in place, finally... but with 18 year olds you need time for them to develop. Salem will be twice the player he was this year in 2016. We won't see the full potential of Brayshaw/Petracca until 2018/2019, and Roos isn't patient enough for that. His ego won't allow him to leave this list for Goodwin in the bottom 4.

I can see pick 3 being packaged with pick 12 for a gun midfielder, and pick 2 reserved for Brayshaw. By all accounts Roos is very keen on the kid, and has been mentoring him throughout the year.

I agree that Roos is likely to draft Brayshaw but l don't agree that neither him or Petracca are going to impact before 2018/2019; just look at Ollie Wines in his first two years! Also, whilst you have acknowledged that Salem will be twice the player next year than he was this year, the same can be said of Toumpas ( plus we are still to showcase Hogan )! I am hopeful that we can get both Brayshaw and Petracca and l am similarly sure that, by the end of the Trade Period and the Drafts, Roos will have the basis assembled for an effective and structurally sound team!

Trade pick 3 and Trengove/pick 23 for Dangerfield.

Draft Brayshaw.

Draft Brayshaw.

Dangerfield still has a year to run.

Haven't seen many players in recent times get on the front foot like Paddy.

Not going anywhere I wouldn't think.

If that's the case then throw in Tapscott. Edited by Elwood 3184

Models himself on Selwood for leadership and courage and Wines for contested ball winning and spread

Taking some time off with foot injury and some significant bone bruising but thinks he will be cherry ripe for pre-season

Sounded like he had a good head on his shoulders

The newly updated and much better version Highlights.

http://www.afl.com.au/video/2014-09-13/angus-brayshaw-highlights

Two words... All Class!

It is seriously insane how this kid can kick and hit targets lace out with both sides of his feet. I am still yet to work out what his preferred foot is??

He combines a skill of silk, inside grunt work and strong overhead marking. Pick 2 or 3 either way we will have a beauty here and can't wait to see him run out next year.

Time to get the ball rolling again with this one!

I am so thankful for these newer highlights.. the old ones had him looking like a spud (first 7ish disposals were to no1 or a turnover from that old clip)! This is all lace out stuff which is nice to know he can actually do that. Much happier at the thought of drafting him.

Agreed makes you wonder who the hell made those other ones.

In fact all original highlights really are pretty ordinary and most of the draftees that are expected to go top end.

There is a Club with a pick before us and they could take anyone. I'm thinking best we wait till draft day before claiming anyone.

I see a lot of Pendlebury in him.

Wow the latest highlights of brayshaw on AFL.com are very impressive. Strong at the contest and his kicking is ridiculous. Seems to be kicking it to advantage of players a lot. Hitting players on the lead, kicking it to advantage to allow players to mark and keep running. I think he will be a star!

I can see Roos using him off half back next year if we pick him up. Vlastuin was impressive in his first two years in that role for Richmond. I think Brayshaw has the same strong body and combative approach that should allow him to survive from day one. His kicking is better than Vlastuin it seems and even though he would be a first year player, he may help alleviate a deficiency if he can give us that Malceski type player until he develops into Tyson's best mate in the middle.

There is a lot to like there. Can see why people want him at the Dees. Image if Brayshaw AND Petracca slip to us?! We finally have the staff to develop players, these guys could be a big part of our future if we get them.

I understand what your saying but jeez I seriously reckon he wouldn't look out of place come round one standing next to Dom Tyson.

Just remember he will add mkre size to his frame come round 1. I can see him making a impact straight away like Luke Dunstan and Ollie Wines.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
