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.

    As they would be. He should have gone first round. What a steal!

    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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
