2015 AFL National Draft prospects: The next batch

Featured Replies

 
 

Must be.

Strangely I've never heard him say a bad word about any player. Ever.

Must be after shifters job

Pity that Sam Petrevski-Seton is not available this year, on my limited viewing he's just the type of player we could do with.

'Pennant', how does he look in the local comp, any downside to the kid.

Haven't looked at many of this years crop.

All I hope for is that we draft a mid who possesses both great foot skills and decision making skills and is really competitive.

Darcy Tucker could be that. Even if he is rated outside the top 10.

We all know how drafts go. Fyfe, Danger, Cyril, Parker, Neale,... All drafted outside the top 10. All great players.

Let's just continue to get the picks right.

 

Danger pick 10, Heppell pick 8, and both actually mids FYI...

I know Danger was 10. I should have said 10 +.

Forgive the Heppell one, forgot about that.

My point is that we really don't know. Twomey included.

It doesn't matter if he's played midfield or not, if he can win his own ball and has the right attributes he can be moved there like we've seen with many players. Who would have thought Bernie Vince would be a starting four midfielder with a hard contested edge to his game when he was first drafted?

I'm assuming this is Machsy? Sudden disappearance and then a Mach5 pops up and writes in such a similar manner.

20. Brisbane* - Eric Hipwood

* Academy bid

Interesting listening to wietering talking about his toughest opponents..he put Collins right up the because of his strength ...


There aren't any this draft so what do we do?

Haven't had a good look at this years crop but from what I've seen I think Balic might have a pretty fair upside.

I'd try to take a tall & mid from the kids draft & try to bring in some more maturity at the same time. the kids can have a little time to develop under macca & platt... the mature

players can help short term.

ontop of this, I would rookie a few quickish running players with potential, for the longer term development... 3yr planning before expected senior games.

I think guru Bob once said, "players with long necks play shorter than they are". Or did I make that up?

you mean a bit like an ostrich or giraffe does MD? so we need the Tyrannosaurs Rex's of the draft?

I really want us to take Curnow first pick and then try and pick up a speedy outside runner with our second pick. He seems like he will be a brute of a midfielder.

Not going to happen but geez I wish could get our hands on jade Gresham somehow, the kid is a jet and the only reason he isn't higher in the draft is because of his height!!! Can play off half back as well. Will be the the next Gavin wanganeen he is a rubber man, wins his own ball, and has silky smooth skills!!

Some chance that Francis gets to us. Would be a pretty decent steal:

I think either Francis or Curnow will be a great addition. Would give us one of the biggest midfield in the coming years.

Brayshaw- 187cm 88kg

Petracca- 186cm 94kg

Tyson- 186cm 81kg

Vandenberg- 188cm 90kg

Watts- 196cm 88kg

Francis- 190cm 86kg

Curnow- 191cm 95kg

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

  • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
