2015 AFL National Draft prospects: The next batch

Is Parish very quick? IMO a lot of good outside mids at U18 level are really struggling with the contested brand of AFL footy. (i.e. players like Toumpas and Aish). I feel outside players now need to be super quick like Lewis Jetta and the Hill brothers to be high quality AFL players.

Agree completely, whats your opinion of Rhys Matheison, I reckon he will be a gun and we should take him, loves the contested ball which is a bloody non negotiable these days, soft coxs are iut...and looks to have good skills..IMO he will be the Bontempelli of the draft.

    Can anyone clarify a few times please?

    Parish = Dale Thomas and Jack Watts

    DARCY TUCKER IS THE MUST. SKILLED TOUGH MEAN COUNTRY TOUGHNESS AND PACE. GET HIM.

    And there must be two Darcy Parishes. The one I saw was in and under and at every contest.

    I feel sorry for the poor bastard who gets the "privilege" of being picked to play at the MFC...

    Jake Lovett was BOG for Dandenong today. It was his best performance for the year. Hopefully he is firing at the right time.

    Parish is competitive. Tucker has question marks and his kicking isn't as good as it needs to be as a running half back. We have so many holes. Weitering should be the number 1 priority of we can find away to let Carlton and maybe Gold Coast get ahead of us on the ladder.

    Have you even watched him play..? Absolutely nothing like Bont. Infact he is a complete opposite.

    He needs a fair bit of work on his disposal and cleaness of the ball. No thanks we have enough of them

    'Norm', Thomas and Watts are very different types of players so not sure of your point here.

    Thomas pre injury was an absolute gun.

    Balic. We need his skills.

    Balic & Petracca rotating forward and mid would be a real handful I think.

    I wouldn't mind a tall like Weiderman though...

    So which one of those top prospects is fast, has an appetite for the contest and has great skills?

    Parish for sure.

    I worry about the skinny kids. We have seen many times skinny kids being aggressive in underage and as soon as they hit AFL they get pushed off the ball easy and lose confidence.

    No, I've seen some skinny kids & not so skinny kids who weren't so aggressive at junior level come into the AFL.

    I don't know of any talented, aggressive skinny kids that haven't made it at AFL level that's why I'm asking you to name them.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.
