spirit of norm smith 16,679 Posted September 15, 2018 Posted September 15, 2018 Watched Chargers game in TAC Prelim Joe Ayton-Delaney stoodout for pace, composure and skill. Medium half back. May be a 30-40 selection. Read up and he has mixed up school footy at Xavier and TAC cup. He looked definitely AFL capable. Think he would a good pickup. 3 Quote
spirit of norm smith 16,679 Posted September 16, 2018 Posted September 16, 2018 Tyler Roos. 35 possessions in a best on ground performance in NEAFL Grand Final. Worthy of a potential rookie spot in my opinion. Would be a great story. 1 Quote

Given the circumstances, Taylor would know exactly what he is like Also, he's not a F/S selection anymore. Edited September 16, 2018 by Moonshadow Quote

True, and the fact he has a hyphenated name will hold him in good stead in front of the members at the MCC. Quote

I still think demons in with a chance to grab him if we keep the late 2nd round pick around 36-38. Quote

spirit of norm smith 16,679 Posted October 13, 2018 Posted October 13, 2018 As of today, we have about 5 picks. That is 36,46,54,62,65. No need to worry about top 20 draft potentials Quote

spirit of norm smith 16,679 Posted October 13, 2018 Posted October 13, 2018 (edited) After Twomeys AFL top 30 update from today, there are 3 kids that come into contention for our pick 36. Sydney Stack. WA under 18s. Shaun Burgoyne like player. Pace and skills. Glides over the ground. Surprised that he has not been rated top 25. Perfect wing/half back. Tom McKenzie. Northern under 18s. Really hope MFC gets this kid. Midfielder with all requirements. Perfect player to add to our midfield. Pace and good skills on either side. Competitor. Won the 20 metre sprint at afl combine. Jack Bytel. Calder under 18s. Cannot believe that Twomey does not rate him top 30. Absolutely gun midfielder. Strength and skill. Wouldn’t be surprised if he goes top 20. Injured twice this year which probably has seen his rating drop. Would be a draft steal at 36. Leadership potential. Obviously one or two from the top 30 may drop as well but it’s a very strong draft year. Edited October 13, 2018 by spirit of norm smith X 2 Quote
Mister Ed 317 Posted October 13, 2018 Posted October 13, 2018 The link to Cal Twomey's Phantom Form Guide: October Although we currently have 36, 46, 54, 62 & 65, it isn’t safe to assume that those will be our final draft selections. If the Hogan deal goes ahead we might still finish with some extra selections and Josh Mahoney might do a trade of draft picks that could see things change as well. Quote

Leadership potential. Good get ... and, based on my early prediction on this thread (January 30) and my previous record with Charlie Spargo, he’s going to be my player of interest. Here’s the flashback to my top 10:- 1. Izak Rankine – West Adelaide (SA) 2. Jack Lukosius - Woodville West-Torrens (SA) 3. Max King – Sandringham Dragons 4. Connor Rozee – North Adelaide (SA) 5. Ben King – Sandrin gham Dragons 6. Sam Walsh – Geelong Falcons 7. Ian Hill – Perth (WA) 8. Jye Caldwell – Bendigo Pioneers 9. Jack Bytel – Calder Canno ns 10. Matt Green – Sporties Spitfires (NT) Quote
spirit of norm smith 16,679 Posted October 14, 2018 Posted October 14, 2018 Good call Chelly. Twomey seems to have forgotten Bytel’s 2017 form. When fit and firing, he is the equal of any in this draft year. 1 Quote

His problem that he has a lingering back injury and has hardly played this season. You would need a good medical report to take him in the draft. 1 Quote
Demon Disciple 12,537 Posted October 14, 2018 Posted October 14, 2018 If going by Twomey's draft predictor we had 2 mid-late 20's picks, bring in both O'Halloran and Duursma would be a good evening. Both have good pace with O'Halloran more a mid and Duursma more a flanker/wingman. Quote
spirit of norm smith 16,679 Posted October 14, 2018 Posted October 14, 2018 Yes like players such as Selwood and more recently Charlie Curnow. Highly rated but slipped in their draft year due to injury. Bytel is a classy midfielder who had a clean bill of health in 2017. At pick 36ish, he would be a steal. Quote

I'm glad WJ that you didn't bring up the late night misadventures & alleged constabulary probe. We wouldn't want the other suitors to hear about them. Quote
