Now that we are winning again it is unlikely we will finish bottom 2 which removes any chance we have at drafting Rowell and Anderson.

With that in mind, and with the lack of outside mids and key forwards available, I really hope we take a look at this kid.

Jeremy McGovern type key backman who will setup our defence for the next 12 years and ready made replacement once May ages. Expected to go between picks 5-8

    Noticed him in last year's carnival. He's hard to miss! Was the standout KP player on the ground vs Vic Metro.

    The only thing I can find about him online has him listed as 190cm.

    We an early developers frame that doesn't look like a speedy rebounder or laser like kick I can't really see the combination that screams top 5 pick and the player we should take.

    Never pass up best available if there's a clear gap but otherwise I imagine our focus will be on finding a player who can impact in the front half of the ground, be that a classy midfielder or a forward.

    I would be checking the validity of his birth certificate before picking him…he looks about 30.

    I played Juniors with Dipper. He was playing CHB then, this kid reminds me a bit of him in his early days.

    If he's really only 190 then I'd pass unless he shoots up this year.  Too small for a KPD and while he's a good kick he doesn't seem to have a lot of pace to him to play as a flanker.  Also, you have to watch the guys who have big bodies in the juniors.  They often struggle to adjust to playing in an environment where they aren't the biggest strongest guy on the park.

    Agree, in fact in my opinion He is not even a need.

    Quick outside mids and tall forwards should be high on our list.

    Have you looked at the top draftees this year? Unfortunately it’s looking very very thin up the top end for outside mids and KPFs. In fact not sure I saw any in the current phantom touted top 20s. Unless we want to burn a top 5 pick on a player who is expected to go mid 20s

     

    This draft is looking a like a dream draft for Goodwin with it packed with inside mids.

    Hayden Young? I've only seen him play one quarter but had a laser left foot.

    Yes i have. If you actually knew the draft well enough you would know it's actually not packed with inside mids but more so half forwards/ half backs who have the ability to push up and play on the outside 

    The top 10 will include the like of Lachie Ash, Caleb Serong, Hayden Young, Sam Flanders, Dylan Williams and Dylan Stephens. These guys all have a set of class and x factor.

    Would you say that as a result, this draft is not as talented/deep as last years DD?

    Last year the draft wasn't that deep. After around the pick 25 it completely dropped off the cliff in my opinion. 

    This year its hard to get a take on the depth and talent. If you are looking for KP forwards or a ruckman then this is not the draft for you.

    There will be genuine talent in the top 20 this year. For me if be keeping a close eye on Lachie Ash, Hayden Young and Dylan Williams.

    Then we must trade for what we need right?

    This guy is an animal. Put on a clinic today.

    He's more Shannon Hurn than Jeremy McGovern though.

    IMHO - trade for elite outside mid and draft for best available

    Why would we use this pick for a developing defensive player when we have heavily recruited In this area for the last few years? Rather a wing type

    Which player in top 20 would fit that? Most are inside mids or medium sized flankers. We already have plenty of those.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
