spirit of norm smith 16,681 Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 - agree Harley Balic is a very talented young player - Parish should be #1 pick - Joshua Schache will go top 5. Super talented key forward. Blues will be very keen. - Aaron Francis will be 1st round choice 13-17 likely - Sam Weideman would be a great pickup to spite the black & white mob
WERRIDEE 5,646 Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 But they won't pass. They will get mills for their first pick (say 14-18ish) and will get Dunkley for pick 30+ ish. So really not worth the discussion because boh will be huge wins for them. If mills wasn't there it might be different (having to use first pick on him etc)! It should be talked about. It's an absolute disgrace that the Swans and Brisbane can get the best of both worlds, it's the greatest rort right up there with COLA. I'm sick of the Swans getting handed everything we should have Heeney if Collingwood were in our position Eddie would never shut up about it, but because it's us no one cares. We must stop this rort now. I would almost go at a happy medium and just give the Academy kids to the Suns and Giants as they have no F\S picks but we must stop the Swans and Lions getting hand outs when they are eligible for F\S picks.

dee-luded 2,959 Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 WTF? That has North with pick 1, Geelong with 2 and us with 15..... don't worry about the teams numbered picks, just the players order at this stage of the season.
whatwhat say what 23,895 Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 surprised how many sub-180cm players are in that lot.
jackaub 1,402 Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 I am firmly of the view that we trade our draft picks for established players for a few years and really develop a good footy team with good development culture We are no good at picking 18 year olds no matter what the draft pick number
jackaub 1,402 Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 With Petracca to come in next year we seem to have sufficient midfielder/forwards. Set with Kent, JKH, Garlett... If we were recruiting for need what type of players are we likely to be looking for..? TRADE a draft pick for an established young ruckman
hardtack 11,116 Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 I am firmly of the view that we trade our draft picks for established players for a few years and really develop a good footy team with good development culture We are no good at picking 18 year olds no matter what the draft pick number That was then, this is now. Salem, Brayshaw and Hogan (and hopefully Petracca) all say hello.
DistrACTION Jackson 10,769 Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 I think a mixture of trading and drafting. If we can get a player in the 20-23 age bracket who is already an established good player like shiel or coniglio then we should trade. But we can always use our 2nd or 3rd rounder and we seem to do well with these picks.
spirit of norm smith 16,681 Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 Dees have their eyes on Weideman. Hogan and Weideman... WOW

The Song Formerly Known As 6,479 Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 Dees have their eyes on Weideman. Hogan and Weideman... WOW who says?
Nascent 9,345 Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 Well we are heading into Round 7 and no one is seriously discussing the draft yet, perhaps tangible proof that 2015 has shown immense improvement for our developing side. Nevertheless, with the NAB U18 Champs around the corner, the AFL website has compiled a list of the top 20 prospects at this early stage in the season in what is rated as a "shallow" draft. The 20 to watch who are this year's most exciting draft draft prospects From my well researched and considered opinion*, I like the sound of the following players (academy players excluded). * My opinion consists of reading the small blurb in this article and thinking to myself "yeah, he sounds like he can play" Darcy Tucker 184cm/78kg 23/1/97 Midfielder/half-back Vic Country/North Ballarat Rebels After a stellar championships last year as a rebounding half-back which saw him named an All Australian as a bottom ager, Tucker has moved up the ground this year into the midfield. With great speed, agility and smarts, Tucker can influence a game many ways. The controlled North Ballarat captain recently gathered 43 disposals in a TAC Cup game. He loves to run with the ball, zigzag through traffic and swing onto his left foot. Darcy Parish 181cm/75kg 25/7/97 Midfielder Vic Country/Geelong Falcons Parish is a go-getting midfielder who makes things happen. With run, carry and very neat skills, Parish is quick to keep the ball moving forward and takes his team with him. He belies his smaller size to throw himself into contests and hunts the ball with ferocity. Parish started the year in brilliant form, being close to best afield in the first few games he played. Thumb surgery will sideline him for the opening part of the championships but he'll have plenty of time to tuck the ball under his arm and dash off. Sam Weideman 196cm/91kg 26/6/97 Key forward Vic Metro/Eastern Ranges Weideman is a tall, imposing and efficient key forward who shapes as a very early pick this year. The grandson of Collingwood legend Murray Weideman and son of former Magpie Mark, the 17-year-old starred on the MCG last month for the NAB AFL Academy. Weideman is prepared to fly at the ball and into packs, he can kick on both feet, and has the natural smarts of a goalkicker. A reliable shot for goal, Weideman booted five last week for the Eastern Ranges. Jacob Weitering 195cm/94kg 23/11/97 Key defender Vic Country/Dandenong Stingrays A powerful, smart key defender who can set up the game from centre-half back. Weitering is strong overhead and a penetrating long kick, and already has the frame to outmuscle and outmanoeuvre opponents with ease. The 17-year-old has played up the ground as a forward and even as a wingman, but is best placed in defence with his sure hands and mature frame. The leading contender for this year's No.1 pick.
Demon Disciple 12,544 Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 Weideman or Schache will be up there for our first pick if we decide to go tall (we have enough KPD's surely). KPF's, Rucks and Mids Mids Mids is what we need
daisycutter 30,027 Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 Weideman or Schache will be up there for our first pick if we decide to go tall (we have enough KPD's surely). KPF's, Rucks and Mids Mids Mids is what we need we only have one real kpd
CBDees 3,167 Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 we only have one real kpd But we have his brother in the wings!
Nascent 9,345 Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 we only have one real kpd Frost will hopefully develop into another
Demon Disciple 12,544 Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 T McDonald O McDonald Dunn Frost We have plenty
ManDee 7,404 Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 Most of the talented 20 that I would like at Melbourne are already attached to other clubs via academies or father son.
DistrACTION Jackson 10,769 Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 I quite liked the sound of Rhys Mathieson, anyone seen him play? Hopefully we aren't picking up any of these players in the top 10 because we've traded our first pick for Shiel!!
