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.

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
