A potential mock could be 

22 Port - Trent Bianco

23 Lions - Josh Worrell

24 Crows Deven Robertson 
25 Crows Will Gould 

26 Cats  Trent Rivers

27 Swans Elijah Taylor 

28 kangas Jay Rantall 

29 kangas Hugo Ralphsmith 

30 Dees Jeremy Sharp 

 

 

 

That’s what the phantom drafts would lead us to believe but in reality it will look nothing like that.

    Agree. It’s just showing that plenty of good options in next 9-10 players available.  

    I rate Jeremy Sharp highly with pace, run and skills.  Good size at 187cms 78 kgs and experience at senior WAFL level.   

    Harrison Jones could also be a good option as a young key forward.

    I would love Robertson but he will be gone. Sharp would be a great get at 28.

    Wonder if clubs think Gould won't be able to keep the weight off and won't have the running capacity for AFL?

    He looks like a natural leader and a natural footballer.

    Hope we take the punt and get Clarry to teach him a thing or two. Both were similarly built at the time of their respective drafts.

    Robertson was a heavy 16 year old before he knuckled down

    Hey @Pennant St Dee, what are your thoughts on both Sharp and Rivers?  Both seem like great prospects and fill a need nicely for us in my opinion. Sharp I've heard is great outside runner with neat skills, Rivers gets good wraps as a solid all-rounder but mainly in defence. I could see him fitting in as a long-term replacement for Hibberd or Nev. Do you have a favourite or any other insights into these guys?

    I'm a Rivers fan, just seems so solid and I think our backline needs versatile that all round quality type who can play any of about 5 roles back there. I'm also interested in the idea of taking Williams and making him play half back to light a fire under him, very Sicily/Hardwick at Hawthorn like.

    Otherwise if they want to go Taylor that's fine by me. Same with Sharp, Gould, Bianco, although those 3 are kind of positives and negatives with attributes, less versatile.

    The only one who I haven't seen but I'm just fascinated by is the idea of Perez. A junior soccer star with elite kicking skills. Have you seen much of him J? 

    Sorry mate, haven't seen him play. Had read that Richmond have some interest and possibly will be a value pick up for someone due to his injury, but I don't have much of a reference point unforts.

    Reportedly poor attitude and doesn’t follow coaches orders/team gameplan. Would be drafted much higher if he did as he’s clearly more capable than most. I wouldn’t be disappointed at drafting him at 30!

    I’d love Robertson, but doubt he’ll slide to us.

    Would love one of Rivers or Bianco. Rivers is solid all round in defence. Bianco is a leader, finds a lot of ball, has good kicking skills and could become a smallish defender or midfielder.

    I like the inclusion of Brock Smith.  I saw two power games this year and he looked a solid smart defender. Strong build, composed and can deliver the footy. I know there is about 8-9 really good other youngsters but Smith would be a good call out as well. A local boy

    As long as we don’t do anything outrageous, we are in a very good spot. Could tick off a bunch of needs in one draft. One of Rivers, Gould, Sharp, Taylor, Bianco or Williams would make me very happy.

    And not an unrealistic chance that we’ll get to choose one either.

    @ChaserJ have you seen much/any of Cam Taheny. Sounds like an option aswell.

    Do that and you could have Robertson and that would shut a lot of criticism down. Only one club to pass on him then needed.

    Or wait until Port make their pick then get on the phone to the Lions. Unless they want him.

    That is what I meant. Set the deal up now if possible and do it if Port take another player.

    This would be a great outcome. It would also mean we pick up 2 WA boys, which will be good long term. Robertson would be the icing on the cake but Jeremy Sharp would be pretty good to. At least Taylor still has options,  including his name sake, Elijah.

    I read somewhere last night the Lions were very keen on him.

    Robertson and Bianco unlikely to be available.

    Would be happy with one of Sharp, Taheny, Rantall, Cassar, or Dylan Williams.
    Rantall and Williams are probably my faves.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
