2015 AFL National Draft prospects: The next batch

Featured Replies

Fair comment, cleaner inside of a contest than either.

That is a reasonable start. All 3 are elite users of the football.

Toumpas tends to panic a bit atm, I would argue that Balic has better composure.

In saying that, I'm not locked in on Balic, I just prefer him to Parish, I don't think it's a strong field of mids this year.

It would be ideal to take a tall first up, then draft a mid with our second pick - hopefully Gresham or Lovell.

I'd be happy to trade a player for a mid Rnd1 pick & try to grab tucker there. take Weid first up.

 

It's interesting to see all those serious concerns about Jake Lever's injury history last year at draft time were well founded.

If the Trengove trade went through, he'd be on our list.

I was hoping we could of picked him up, he looked the goods.

Also interesting to see many were worried about his disposal and that doesn't seem a problem...

Fills me with confidence that he was the 3rd player we were looking at. Not because he isn't on our list but because it means our recruiting staff are looking in the right direction now and know how to spot the goodies.


So far it seems the two players who love the contested footy are Tucker and Matheison.

Matheison had 20 plus kicks on the weekend, that is a decent effort.

He can certainly find the football.

Would be disappointed with Tucker or Mathieson.

One doesn't get enough of it and the other lacks finesse.

 

I'm assuming Weitering and Schache are firming as the likely first two picks.

So the only spanner in the works would appear to be whoever out of Brisbane/Gold Coast/Carlton finish third last.

Can't see us winning any more games than Essendon for the remainder of this year, based on how they played against Port.


As they are now...

Lions - Schache

Suns - Weitering

Blues - Francis

Leaves us to swoop on Parish

Nice, another Toumpas to save us from our woes. Hurrah!

I didn't see anything in Toumpas prior to being drafted. Admittedly I only watched the Nationals.

Some rated that carnival highly, he was captain. Personally, I didn't think much of it.

I like the contested types, thought Wines was the logical option, had a great nationals, displayed grunt and aggression - which we needed.

Lovell and Gresham are my picks so far, I'd be willing to trade an early pick - for 2 picks in the teens.

Lovell is definitely the stand out mid in my eyes.

Lovell, the honest 174cm man child, is your pick as the standout mid?

That is .... errrr .... a bold prediction.

Sorry, just any hope i used to have in the draft is long gone now and personally i believe if we go to the draft again that we will struggle to improve at all on-field whilst at the same time probably diminishing any young talent we do have due to the lack of senior players and leaders


Lovell is definitely the stand out mid in my eyes.

Glad you aren't making the picks then!! Small, not quick, just an OK kick, plenty of cheap kicks in back half, not a great decision maker.

Let it go man, we get it.

Let it go man, we get it.

it wont be let go until we start getting results from our skinny draftees. As simple as that

The Dees are set on Darcy Parish according to the number one player manager I spoke to at the weekend.

Champion Data guy on SEN just then said Parish was the guy for Melb.

Rated above average both inside and outside possessions during champs.

Also stated no clear standout mids in the draft who aren't part of an academy.

A couple of skinny kids Salem & Brayshaw seem to have a bit of a future.

We'll see.

That's a fair assessment of this years midfield crop. There are some good players there, but few standouts.

Parish seems as natural a fit for us this year in much the same way Brayshaw was last year.

Weren't you saying not long ago we should go really harder James Aish...

Parish goes alot harder at the contest then Aish. Watch the Champions games and you will realize that because its quite obvious you are only comparing him to Toumpas because he is skinny outside mid.

Unbelievable comment

Aish has a couple of years in the system and is already showing he can withstand the AFL game. Parish is unproven at AFL level

  • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

    It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?
