They will hopefully looks for a outside mid type who might be ready to roll. Will need a bit of size about him, 80 kg 6 plus footer. 

Will have a look and see

 

Im going to take a punt - more what I hope rather than what will happen

I'd be very happy if Bailey reached our first pick! Tell us about North DD.

I only went to 2 ER games this year for a beer & a chat. But what struck me was this kid's North ability to win the ball and direct the game. 

Beautiful left foot, works hard very hard, good link man but best of all prepared to win his own football. He does not look quick but he has quick hands and feet. 

For me this draft is all about building our depth, finding solid AFL players - for me North fits that mold.

Don't tell me he's a contested beast, great O/H mark, super quick and a elite kick.

We got the wrong one!

Would not be upset if we got 4 of Petruccelle, Stoddart, Worpel, Houlihan and Tom De Koning. No order though.

They'll all go in the first round.

 

Complete stab in the dark. Expect about 0 out of 4.

29 - Joel Garner (others Baker, Spargo, Hayes)

31 - Spargo (others Baker, MacPherson, Stoddart)

36 - Krueger (as a Cripps type mid) (others Baker, Petrucelle, someone no one's ever heard of)

47 - Baker (others Fritsch, Answerth, someone no one's ever heard of)

29 - Zac Bailey (MID, 181cm, 81kgs)

31 - James Worpel (MID, 185cm, 86kgs)

36 - Toby Wooller (FWD, 193cm, 90kgs)

47 - Jack Petruccelle (DEF, 185cm, 78kgs)

 


I'm gonna guess that our list team will go for speed and unpredictability, backing their system to smooth out some (yes, significant) issues. None of these kids will be expected to be holding down a best 22 spot right away, that's for sure.

Not really in a particular order, here are my utter guesses/wishes.

Charlie Spargo

Adam Sambono

Jack Petrucelle

Bailey Fritch, Frisht, Fritters, Fished,  Fish'nChips.

And, as a bonus, if Spargo doesn't slide far enough then the group moves up a slot and we get Hamish Brayshaw late.

The current FD have to date demonstrated:

- a willingness or even a plan to draft in players with non-footy sporting backgrounds. There are several in this draft slated around our picks who may offer extra value due to this fact.

- a bias toward multi-dimensional players as to position (a possibly partially flawed approach in my own opinion).

- an extra interest in Casey-listed players and our investment in the continuity of our affiliation.

- a wgaf attitude as to actual skills.

I also believe as subjective speculation that we won't be looking to rectify our perceived short-comings - height, pure pace, foot-skills - but will be on the hunt for players who are capable of executing our game-plan - super super fast movement.

I have no idea who we will take but, for the love of Tom Cruise, can we please stop recruiting medium sized forwards and project players (especially developing ruckmen and players from non-football backgrounds). 

I hope we go hard at genuine ball-winning midfielders, given that we haven't taken one since Oliver.

We've only drafted 2 players since that draft: Hannan and Johnston!


Dom Barry.

Game has evolved towards his strengths in his time away from AFL level. Played at SANFL level this year.

Rumours are that the Bulldogs will get Dom Barry with a late pick (Collingwood and Hawthorn have also chatted to him).

Yeah no more Jayden Hunts, Petracca's and Max Gawn's they are no good.

More Viney's, Oliver's, Brayshaw's and Tyson's and Neal-Bullen's. Get a few more who can play at Casey like Ben Kennedy.

I'd love a medium forward project player like a Nat Fyfe.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
