Jackson, Robertson, Sharp

I hope Robertson will be there at pick 10. But this unlikely. I hope you are right. Fingers crossed

    Pick swap with Geelong.

    Pick 14 - Weightman

    Pick 17 - Pickett

     

    I basically agree with this prediction although think it will be Jackson at 3.

    Do I get half a poiint if we bid on him but GWS take him?

    Just have this feeling GWS will be rapt to get Jackson, and MFC rate Green VERY highly.

    What’s with the small forward obsession when we already have 4 plus blokes under 180 cm on the list who potentially should fill the role?

    Because we need actual talent

    Who are  the 4 blokes? Any of them any good?   Doubt it, as we have the worst small forward stocks in the comp

    Yes it’s all fun and our desire for the Dees to get some quality youngsters.  Yet the “trolls”’ on other posts love to shoot others down and denigrate.  
     

    I’ve always been in the Hayden Young at 3 and Brodie Kemp at pick 8 camp. Young for elite ball use which would be a milestone at the Demons and Kemp because of superstar potential with strength and pace. 

    I would like to see Tom Green called at 3 and make Giants match it.  It appears unlikely so Giants will end up with two top 5 players   

    Obviously the popular view seems MFC picks as

    Jackson at 3 , for a 10 year outlook as Gawn probably has the #1 ruck role for 5-6 more years       He didn’t play forward at the championships but JT says he can be a key forward , yet very raw footy skills. athleticism is his strength. 

    Weightman at 10.  Lively forward pocket.  Good skills but I think they’d be better options available at this pick like Kemp or Ash or Serong. 


    Pick 28 is a lottery to see who’s available.  Like to see either KOZZZY Pickett or ELIJJJJAH Taylor for their excitement. Small indigenous forwards are exciting. Like Jeremy Sharp as the running back or wingman or even a punt on Darcy Cassar.  Both Sharp and Cassar are classy runners with good pace and that much required skill.
     

    Wait and see now.

    Because none of them have proved their more than decent depth yet, because we've had a game plan that relied on frenzied delivery and key forwards 'bringing the ball to ground', and because we just delisted our most dangerous small forward who also lead our average goal kicking for 2019.

    I’d be happy either way. Prefer if we nabbed Green though like you said.

    Spargo - 2nd round pick - was a midfielder as a junior and his skillset - fitness, ball winner, get contest to contest, make smart decisions is that of a half forward flanker

    Bedford - 4th round pick - flashes defensive and crumbing ability but is also a long way from AFL and more of a project

    Chandler - rookie - junior midfielder with some forward craft but more of a 2nd best small. The Puopolo to a Rioli.

    Lockhart - rookie - back flanker/mid/half forward flanker - ball winning and ball use across the flanks is more his go than dangerous inside 50 pressure and crumbing. Training with the defenders.

    Not sure it should be pick 10 but we have to draft a specialist crumber and pressure player at some stage.

    Assuming no live pick trades:

    3 - Jackson

    10 - Serong

    28 - Taylor

    3 Jackson

    10 Dylan Stephens

    28 Dylan Williams

    Interesting option in Dylan Williams.  Great 2018 as a goalkicking half forward dominant as an underaged. Injury ruined 2019 but is very very good player if his body can get 100%.

    Well then they should have been delisted, yes? But no we still believe they can contribute in some way while we intend to burn first rounder picks on small forward potential.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      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.
