I’m looking forward to the melts from Rusty if we don’t pick Young. He’s already penned him into our backline ahead of our best small defender!

Who now doesn't have a spot in the team!

Coz we dont need his elite kicking.

    At first I thought Young and Weightman , but now I’m coming around to absolute best available.

    Young, Kemp, Serong, Flanders, Weightman in that order.

    Green and Kemp with Steven being unlucky. Ruled him out for being a SA boy.  Weightman as a top ten pick, no.

    Is that you Goodwin?

    Best 22 will look like this

    Cal Thombey has 

    Green at 3 Best available

    Kemp at 8 Best available

    I could have done all our  draft picks and delisting on my own for peanuts to what the Club pays in recruiters and meetings.. Agree with them all expect Frostie. Just needed one guy giving me a chop out doing the Langdon and Thomlinson deals

    I am starting to wonder if we should take Fisher Macasey and Caleb Serong. MaCasey is a tall forward and Serong is a Midfield/Forward. Wouldn’t those 2 meet our needs best?

    Personally, if we're to go by highlights, Dylan Stephens is exactly what our midfields lacks & needs. Speed, class & goals - Fantastic point of difference from the kid.

    I've timestamped 3 bits of vision below that have impressed me more so than most highlight packages thus far.

    1. @ 1:03

    2. @ 2:06

    3. @ 2:36

    Maybe it's Dylan we're looking to make an early jump on? I hope so.

    No best available unless we get s third pick then  small forward or Sokol would be nice 

    so Young At  3 and Kemp/ Serong / Jackson at next pick and Weightmen/Sokol for last pick.

    PSD Reckon Martin/Sam Gray/ Christiansen/ or Walker from Lions fir key forward and defence steadiness depth. Good mark and doesn't panic Could take Oscars place!!

    Geez Stephens is quick and what we need. Wonder if we could turn him into a ground ball half forward like a Castagna type. Then later in career can play wing.

    I pointed out in another post that we haven't had a great deal of success with SA players from the SANFL, I notice that Dom Barry was mentioned in that clip as being, perhaps, best on ground.

    If I was going for an interstate player, I'd pick one from WA before SA, Jackson looks a gem, as does Robertson, I'd be stoked if we picked either of them with Young.

    If we go to the Draft with pick 3 and pick 8 then it’s Young and Kemp that I hope we draft.

    However, my dream result which is most likely a pipe dream would be trading pick 3 to Fremantle for pick 7 and pick 10. I think it’s highly likely that Young would be picked with one of the first 6 picks, if not then we would obviously pounce with pick 7. If he has been picked then I would hope that we pick Kemp, Weightman and Gould with picks 7, 8 and 10. 

    Question is whether Fremantle would even be interested in trading their picks with us and whether they have a target at pick 3 who would be gone by pick 7 which is probably unlikely.

    Gut feel is we head to the draft with pick 3 and pick 8.

    Love the sound of this.

    If we arent picking a player at pick 3 that has  star potential, we may as well throw the pick in the bin.  Too many of the kids projected to go from 3-12 look to be very average, at best they might fill a role in a team if they make the grade.

    But pick 3 isnt for role players, its to get a superstar.    Kemp or Serong for me at 3.  Would be a dream to get both (realistically would be Serong 3 and Kemp at 8 )

    Serong [3] and Weightman [8], but it won't happen, most likely. Perhaps, Kent as we have a plethora of improving smalls.

    I like the idea of Young and Jackson

    For no other reason that when they retire they could buy a pub.

    Melbourne would benefit most from the speed and polish of Dylan Stephens and secondly from  Weightman who has the attributes of a Brent Harvey.

    Importantly, Stephens is senior football hardened and would shine from Round 1.

    Young and Stephens by a long, long way...

    Dont mind this, young has to be a lock at 3, be way too hard to split it and still  get him so i say no to splitting.

    stephens has played senior footy and played good senior footy and has the speed and foot skills to break a game open.(yes im a 3 minute highlight clip expert).

     

    Dare to dream Pick3 Young    Pick8 Stephens/Kemp    PSD2 Jack Martin      Supplementary Rookie : Harley Bennell

    Yesterday I had breakfast with a mate that has been part of an AFL club’s recruitment team for 10 years and due to him passing me info prior to the actual Draft, I would rather keep the Club confidential, however, let me assure you that this is one hell of a successful club. 

    My mate’s role is purely Victorian based and focuses totally on the TAC, no other league. 

    The bottom line is that he told me this Club had a major meeting last Saturday whereby all the TAC watchers met for a full day and compiled a mock Draft of Victorian TAC players. 

    Whilst having to be a little guarded at this time of year, my mate told me that at Saturday’s meeting, Hayden Young was the almost totally unanimous choice as number 3 from the TAC. In fact, my mate scoffed at the thought of overlooking Young at 3 even after the interstate kids were factored in  

    He was very strong in his praise of Kemp but didn’t want to elaborate too much about other players in the 5 to 10 range as this is where his Club would be selecting.

    He did however say that neither he or any of his other TAC watchers had Weightman in the first 12 and said he’d be highly surprised if any Club took him in the Top 10 after the interstaters were added in.

    Thought you might be interested.

     

     

    Thanks for the heads up.

    Were they the same people by any chance that were unanimous on Toumpas? :blink:

    We don't have to dream on Young but i assume you are referring to 'the rest'.  Decent mix if we land them.

    The alternative is, IF we believe we can get Stephens or Weightman at 10 is a swap with Freo for their 10 & 58.  58 on Pickett, provided we are certain he is going to be there.

    Can we split 8!

    If dealing with one club only and keeping the picks in the first round then it would have to be for Port’s picks 12 and 18 or Geelong’s picks 14 and 17.

    I think we are massive chance to split it with Freo for pick 10 and 22. Id assume we would leave it to the last minute to do deal(provided the player we want are still there)but feel it will work for both clubs. If they want Jackson or Robertson an earlier pick might suit them. Also they might be fearful that us or Carlton might bid on Henry before their bid. Even if neither of us bid on Henry it’s a cert that he will be picked before 22 and Freo will match using pick 22 anyways. 

    We will get good player at 10 and be able to pick up another player with 22. Could get Stephens or weightman at 10 and maybe Bergman of Taylor at 22. 

    Also by doing it on the night we can see if there’s a gun we want still available at 8 we just take him. 

    Win win

    I think people need to keep in mind what we sold to get pick 8 - and why we were willing to sell what we sold.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
