If Roos is looking to repeat last years trick by trading out pick 2 (or 3) for an established player with a lower first round kickback then perhaps he maybe looking at Jordan De Goey to be this years Chris Salem.

According to the TAC Cup Grand Final thread Jordan impressed in todays game. He is also a Paul Roos sized mid at 187cm, 82 kg.

Apparently he missed the first half of the season due to a broken finger so is coming from a way back.

Going by his highlights he can kick over over jam jar with both feet.

Nice highlight! Not only does he know how to find the ball but he uses it very effectively!

After this years draft they have implemented a height restriction ?

Funny. Next year is considered the Midfielders draft, not a KPF one.

The experts never get the current draft right assessing under 18 footballers and we are relying on assessments regarding under 17 footballers ! Holy crap on a skewer..

you need to realise that love is a fluid thing - depending on which paper/expert/poster with credible rumours you listen to.

I know. It's just we've barely heard his name, then this.

Except for when I raised his name as a possibility for pick 3 a couple of weeks ago, to derision by those that know better.

i retract my love for DeGoey - how can we go past Dillon Viojo Rainbow....come on.......

Watch Rainbow end up at Collingwod.. It's like the draft players with catchy surnames hoping one becomes an a-grade cult figure and can market him through his name.

Rainbow coloured footballs.

Rainbow coloured boots.

The possibilities are endless!

I love all the kids in the draft equally. That way you can't be disappointed when we chose one of them!

That said I'd have this guy as the 3rd best inside midfield prospect (behind picks 1 and 2) even though he's often been a flanker at junior level. He's got all the attributes to mix it with the big boys unlike the other outside types in the top 15 or so (and all the talls of course).

So if we are drafting for need and trying to build the team from inside players out wards (which I'm not sure is a legit theory anyway but roll with it) then he'd have to be heavily considered.

^^ I am torn on who I'd prefer.

I just hope that there won't be a case of regret on who we don't pick (like every other year, barring last).

Good luck recruiting team, I've got all fingers and toes crossed in hope.

Good kid but not for a top 3 Pick.

I reckon he will be a tiger at pick 12.

I don't get this logic. Any player our recruiters, coaches and footy department picks at 2,3 or 40 could be guns or duds, its a number and pick 3 or pick 12 makes stuff all difference down the track if they recruit the kid they see with the most development in them.

I think you answered your own question. As good as De Goey is I think the common school of thought is he's not that fast, not huge for a midfielder, not dominant at the clearances, doesn't win 30 touches every week etc. So he might have limited development. A key forward who can become a top liner has a lot more. Same with a midfielder with top pace or perfect skills.

It's hard though. You look at Sydney. Rohan and Jetta in the first round. It's very hard to find players with that potential. Parker at pick 40, standard tough inside midfielder, standard size, seems to have solid marking skills. Turns our Parker can out mark a heap of players in the AFL as well as being not just a standard inside mid but a bull and also pretty good around the ground. Rohan and Jetta still have all the talent to do amazing things but couldn't buy a kick between them on grand final day. But Brad Hill and Isaac Smith are instrumental players for Hawthorn and they gave up a first round pick for McEvoy and traded for 30+ Brian Lake because without those key structural players it's hard to win big games as well.

The main thing for our pick 3 is to find a player who will be at a high level at their position instead of comparing across positions. We can always trade for deficiencies like with Lumumba and Garlett. Cheap pick ups who arent great players in isolation but can fill needs and can play well at their peak.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
