wow, Dylans highlights are by far the most impressove, reminds me of robbie flower

Yes Don that's what i was thinking when looking at his highlights.  He's about the same height also if the Norwood club site is correct.

The big difference for me is Dylan is more a ground ball player whereas Robbie had the aerial side as an added bonus...among other assets!

Apparently every club except Richmond has spoken to him.  Collingwood, West Coast, St Kilda, and Essendon are being a bit optimistic.  Crows his preferred choice but went to school in Melbourne for a few years and moving to Melbourne wouldn’t phase him.  I suspect he’ll end up at Crows at pick 4 or Freo at pick 7.  They need a couple of new wingers.

Crows would seem a likely fit.  Would they take him so high with the likes of Serong and Ash (for example) seemingly rated a tad higher though?

Sheehan highly respected in draft circles.

You say he is highly respected, but in this interview he says that we might trade Pick 3 for a couple of picks in the teens. (I wrote this in another thread, but it seemed relevant here too).

In terms of his knowledge base on the top 20 to 30 or so 247.

I don’t doubt that, I was just surprised that he said we might trade 3 for two picks in the teens.

Yep have to agree.  Not a great idea and strange thing to say after highlighting the attractions/strengths of Young & Flanders at 3.

I haven't listened to the interview so i'm taking your word that he wasn't asked about some rediculous scenario by Derwayne or someone and gave some answer that was tongue in cheek or being flippant.

Yeah I even went back to listen a 2nd time, to make sure I heard right lol

Poll shows that Young and Kemp are overwhelming favourites for our picks 3 and 8. I voted for both a couple of weeks ago and my view hasn’t changed. 

Having a read through the draft threads on here, it still sounds like most are still wanting Young at 3 but have cooled on Kemp at 8 and I’m seeing Jackson and Stephens in particular rising in popularity. 

Are there still plenty in the Young/Kemp camp or have some of you changed your mind and would change your vote now if you could?

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.

Why waste him as Half forward or winger   has on baller/goal kicker all over hi.

Just what we need on those highlights breaks lines has speed and challenges defenders and opponents alike.

Yes if there was a horse fir a course this guy stands out 

Hopefully No 8 he is still available

I voted Young and Stephens when the poll opened. My view hasn’t changed. Both are amongst the most talented in the draft pool, have attributes we’re lacking, and could play early. Both have scope to become great footballers long term.

Wouldn't be unhappy with Kemp at 8 though. I think Stephens just shows great dash, agility, goal scoring ability, kicking and has already showed it against men in the SAFL.

Young is a lock at 3 for me, and that’s what I heard from a source weeks ago too.

If we grab both of those, we get Bennell up by about the half way mark ....

Add another genuine key forward to assist T-Mac if Weid doesn't come on by year's end.  Two quality smalls (assuming we don't split pick 8 and miss Kozzie).

Solid rebound this year with a potential finals stint.  All going well and those extra recruits at the end of 2020...premiership window well open in 2021.

I’ve been fully in the Young #3 (4 if Dees nominate Green) and Kemp at #8.  

Young wins as pick 3 due to elite disposal and aerial marking. Need to build his body with AFL preseasons in the gym. 
Given Kemp’s championship form, I would have seen him pick 3 if he’d been able to see out 2019. His injury means you have to just project how he will go after a year out. But his pace and strength are Dangerfield like. 
 

I think Stephens is an excellent runner with a skilled left foot. Loves a goal. He’d probably go to the Crows with their first pick. However if Kemp was gone , he would be strong pick if he was still available at 8.

Firstly, I'm no expert. But after watching actual video of games, I considered who was the one player that really stood out. For me, it was Caleb Serong, he just seemed to have that star quality potential. He reminded me a bit of a young Toby Green, minus the attitude. The next pick has hard, but I chose Cody Weightman. He will be a serious goal kicker, and you can't have enough of them. It would change our whole forward line if we picked both of them, and I assume we could. But part of me, with pick 8, would like us to take Dylan Stephens. Outside mid, Gaff like but young, exactly what we need. I wouldn't mind at all if we used 8 on him.

Hnmm Pity we could do with someone Exactly like Toby Greene with ATTITUDE!!


I think Jackson is key to the draft. We trade up to 8 for someone. It would be big to take him at 3 but Freo could take him at 7. 

If that happened we could bid Henry at 8 and swallow their pick 10 in the bid match. Freo would do well to trade 10 and 22 to us for 8. Then they could take Jackson, Robertson and cover Henry with later picks and some points deficit. That would be a great haul of WA players for them.

3, 10 and 22 would give us a nice spread.  It all depends on who we really like at 3 and 8.

FWIW, the SA U18 coach, Gould and Stephens all rate Pickett as the most talented player from SA in this years draft.  Apparently in school footy he was on a different level.

https://amp.adelaidenow.com.au/sport/afl/more-news/brenton-phillips-labels-kysaiah-pickett-as-the-most-talented-sa-player-in-the-draft/news-story/9fbfdf650e1a6d6fd2963137ab1d4846
I wanted Young and Stephens, but if Stephens is gone at 8 a split to have a go at Picket and Weightman would be worth a go. You wouldn’t think either would go in the top 15.

i have not seen any clips of Kemp and what he could do, shame about that. of those videos i have seen both young and stephens appear to be standouts.  I would love to see stephens running off the half forward line, he has speed, skill, pace and knows where the goals are. i think he would be preferable to us going after a small forward as he could also play on the wing and rotate through the middle.

I think we will be taking Hayden young at pick 3 and Jackson at pick 8. and i'm personally very happy with that. 

Jackson is capable of playing the Lobb role as the third key forward rotating through the middle and giving Max a break 

and Young is just the best player outside of the top 2 

I'm sure that by now, after 6 pages on here, Demonlanders have recommended /covered every permutation of draft selections possible. So someone on here has probably nailed it. Congrats.

Personally i'd keep 3 and 8 and pick the best available. Splitting picks, to me, would generally imply choosing players with lesser perceived ability, or at least players possibly requiring longer periods before they are AFL ready. But I'm happy to leave the selection to our experts, as I am certainly not one.

 However, I am sorry that we still have about 3 weeks left of this  speculation before we are put out of our misery.

 

BigFooty are running their Phantom Draft at the moment, top 10 is:

1 - GC Rowell, 2 - GC Anderson, 3 - MEL Young, 4 - GWS Green (matched bid), 5 - ADE Flanders, 6 - SYD Jackson, 7 - FRE Stephens, 8 - MEL Serong, 9 - CAR Ash, 10 - FRE Robertson.

With this in mind, if Serong/Ash are still available at pick 8, do they get selected before Kemp?

 

 

 

Changing to

Pick 3  - Hayden Young   -  leadership, elite kicking, versatility

Pick 8 - Kysiah Pickett   -   X factor,  excitement machine, goal kicker, small crumbing forward

 

 They're the two perfect players for our list.  We need their types desperately.

  • NON-MFC: Round 11

    Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

  • PREVIEW: Sydney

    The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
