2015 AFL National Draft prospects: The next batch


Whispering_Jack

Recommended Posts

Hoping...

#3 Oliver... bulldozing mid

#7 Weideman... classic tall marking forward

#42 Mason Redman... skilled goalkicking fwd (Gunston like)

#46 Gach Nyuon... Ruck

Close to what I was thinking. Hoping we go for Nyuon, could use another developing ruckman.

Look, at this stage it's impossible to tell which of Parish or Oliver will be a better player in 3 years time. Not to mention whether either of them will become superstars in time.

Although nothing's more certain than the fact that whoever picks the better player in 3 years time will be hailed as a genius and whoever picks the other will be damned as an idiot.

Really? What happens if they both are good players in 3 yrs time?

It's still Parish for me. I don't see our need of an Oliver type as great with Viney, Brayshaw, And Vanders (all bullocking players with skill- Vanders taken in the rookie draft FFS), our need for a quick minded player who can lower the eyes instead of the long bomb is needed more right now.

It doesn't make sense to upgrade 6 to 3 for a player in Oliver that wasn't on the radar. It does for Parish who by all accounts was a target for the druggies who had 4&5.

Go Parish, find the "in and under" depth with a latter pick.

I can't believe anyone thinks Oliver is a better kick than Parish, in the game i watched him play, he had 16 kicks and i remember 4 hitting a target, he just bombed it long and hoped.

Before Academy Selections:

#3 - Oliver (where there's smoke..........)

#7 - Weideman (hopefully he'll be available, if he is we need to pull the trigger)

#45 - Lovell (our draft pick will go up a fair few places, his height could see him slide - though it really shouldn't)

#49 - Gach Nyuon (we need some more ruck support and he may not be there come rookie draft time)

A surprise was that Carlton and Ess did not bid for any academy players.

Early on I thought GWS/Lions were going to get their top players for nicks!

Thankfully GCS and Richmond came to the rescue.

Fair chance Carlton and Ess were positioning themselves to trade up for the academy clubs early picks next year!

Did the Bulldogs blow pick 25 on Dunkley?

They expected Sydney to match the bid and they didn't.

Beveridge sure looked confused and uncertain!

Not surprised Sydney didn't take Dunkley.

He nominated them last week only after he saw where he might be drafted.

That doesn't show much desire to really commit to the Swans.

Could have been seen as just being opportunistic...not the Swans type

If Bulldogs expected Swans to match the bid they didn't do their homework very well.

what do you mean he wasn't on the radar ? how do you know that?. the journos had Melbourne and Essendon interviewing and all over Oliver. just because he came on in the second half of the year doesn't mean clubs did want him. sounds to me if we didn't take him, he was gooooone by pick 9.

Pick 39 to Brisbane Mach5,

So he went well outside the top 20? What a shock.

They're assembling quite the rag tag bunch of moronic loose cannons up there.

Mathieson, Mitch Robinson, Allen Christiansen, Dayne Beams...

They just need to bring Beamer & Sylvia out of retirement.

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury. Date of Birth: 4 J
