Callum Twomey and Brenton Sanderson's Mock Draft Podcast

To be honest, the thought of taking Weideman at 3 and the best available mid at 7 wouldn't bother me.

I don't know which would have me more pleased, a Parish/Curnow double or a Weideman/Oliver double.

As a pure forward i'd have Weideman over Curnow, as Weideman is physical and more of a natural FF (allowing Hogan to roam as he pleases as CHF). As a pure mid, i'd have Oliver just about= to Parish. I'd say Parish has better skill, versatility and more runs on the board, but Oliver is a physical beast with a thirst for contact.

    My mate who works at the Falcons isn't sure of Curnow as much as others, says there are plenty of other better mids before him in the competition that he saw first hand or have been informed about from others in the industry and he just isn't sold on him as much as them. Says Parish is an absolute gun though, which i have posted about on here already, a few times.

    Take all of this as you will.

    Was just listening to the podcast on the AFL website. I switched it off after Carlton's 2nd pick but it went...

    1. Weietering - Carl

    2. Schache - Bris

    3. Mills - Syd

    4. Parish - Melb

    5. Hopper - GWS

    6. Kennedy - GWS

    7. Francis - Ess

    8. Weideman - Ess

    9. Oliver - GCS

    10. Curnow - Melb

    11. Milera - Carl

    Curnow and Parish would be an amazing result for us.

    Thoughts?

    Please excuse my ignorance....

    but i thought we had pick 3 and 7?? why did they give us pick 10 on the podcast?

    The academy bids slot in at the point in the draft where someone bids on them. All other bids are shuffled downwards. It has a slight effect on the price of later academy picks, but no real impact on the actual picks.

    Ah, Ok, I understand now.

    thanks!

    I don't know why they did a needs based draft.

    They should've just drafted their best players with some consideration to types that clubs usually prefer. In fact if they had gone head to head with a pick each for the top 20 that would've been better.

    Twomey's phantom draft will be interesting. Right now it sounds like he's struggling for info big time.

    I think the main reason that he's struggling is that our first pick will shape the draft, and it seems as though we aren't leaking. It's a nice change.

    They have us missing Oliver which would be disastrous

    Oli, don't take this the wrong way, but you don't seem like a lucky guy.

    I wouldn't get my hopes up if I were you.

    I don't doubt that.

    But I doubt we'd be drafting him as a mid.

    I'm sure that Taylor & Viney will be picking based on the opinions of who shouts the loudest on an internet forum :ph34r:

    It would have helped Prendergast, thankfully Taylor knows what he is doing.

    If Prendergast payed attention to forums we wouldn't have gone into the hole we did

    This forum almost unanimously had Scully *Trengove and Morabito as 1,2,3...be thankful we got something big in return for Scully (and Phil) and avoided Morabito's unfortunate luck. I thought he was paying attention...

    *still hope

    we need at least one tall forward so if its going to be used on our number 3 pick then Weiderman is the most likely candidate, if its our number 10 then probably McKay.

    That would mean our number 3 used on a mid would possibly be parish or Curnow, or taking a mid with our no 10 pick would be Curnow or oliver.

    I would be happy with any of those combinations.

    Yes we need forwards...but a draftee fwd wont impact for 2-3 years likely.. Other options can present or already exist in that time frame.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
