2015 AFL National Draft prospects: The next batch

Recommended Posts

if we don't execute any trades, hopefully we can land one of schache, francis or weideman with our top pick and one of tucker or dunkley with our second rounder.

there's every chance we could still finish bottom two.

Every chance and every likelihood. Gold Coast will keep winning with Ablett back, Carlton are reinvigorated under Barker and Brisbane are finally reducing their injury list.

A Weideman on our list. If he was any good , how long would that last for? Somebody else might want the pick though.

dee-pressing, isn't it.

at the start of the year i said we'd finish last with two wins. we've got two more than that currently, but it's hard to see where the next one is coming from. as you say, the bears are starting to get players back, gc17 look a different team with judas in their line-up, and the blues are a bit like us - competitive but poor.

I think we will win around 2 or 3 more games and get a pick in the range 4 - 6. If we do not trade it for a high production gun mid I would like to see us draft a KPF. We hopefully have a fit Trengove back next year and Petracca should make an impact as a mid/medium forward. So for list balance a KPF would be good.

I don't think we'll get lower than pick 3, Gold Coast and Brisbane probably have those secured.

Next week could change that dynamic, of course. Carlton need only one more win and an improved percentage to beat us on the ladder though.

weitering and schache went head to head today in cold, blustery conditions in the dandenongs.

apparently weitering wiped the floor with him and was a clear bog, intercepting and rebounding.

when was the last time a key back went #1?

Darren Gaspar?

Tucker should slide to second round.

I'm personally worried about him being the second coming of James Strauss. I was expecting much more from him in the championship games.

Once Tucker tests and interviews, he will be top 10 for sure. Teams will love his aggression and competitive streak plus pace and left foot skills. Think Lewis, Hodge type of player. This is half thr battle. Get kids to be warriors. Think Hannebery. He was not the quickest/skilled player un under 18s but Swans loved his aggresive streak to win the footy. Tucker has this.

Id love to get Weidemann

We need another legit talented key forward , and he sounds ready made like Hogan. I think we have stocked up on mids and drafted well the last couple of years, we can take a KPP with our first rounder and go for more mids with our other picks.

agreed h_h... we need an understudy key forward, who is powerful & strong marking, & can 2nd ruck

I'll be rapt if Weideman fits this profile. and an added bonus, would be to shove it right up e'd's rear bum.

No chance he'll slip past Brisbane, unless Pickering scares them off (which is possible).

You don't hire that guy as your player agent 6 months out from the draft unless you want to influence which club drafts you.

how do we get Parish & Weideman ?

would we trade anyone for a top 12 pick ? would one of our rucks get us something?

Convince another club to sign Garland for 4 years at $500k, that'll do the trick. Pick 3 & 4 here we come! :ph34r:

(depends if Carlton can top us on the ladder -- hopefully unlikely).

I'm hoping we can land a Parish with our 1st, & gain an early midround pick Via trade or dealings for a Weideman. not sure Weideman will last till outside the ten, even with his current injuries.

If that what it takes, they can have a choice of either Dawes, Watts, Howe, to go with them taking Garland as a free agent, on $500K+ over 4 years.

out of that, I'd grab Parish & Weideman from the draft... & buy in Henderson from the blues & give them Gawn.

that leaves Prestia to be negotiated in some fashion, possibly involving players & future picks ?

    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.

    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.
