godees 913 Posted November 30, 2019 Posted November 30, 2019 Four of the ten (including expected number 1 pick) are tied to clubs. Makes the pick swap look very smart if we can finish at least 12th. Quote

Whispering_Jack 31,368 Posted December 1, 2019 Author Posted December 1, 2019 Apparently Melbourne has a few Next Generation Academy players in the 2020 crop but I don’t believe that they’re close to top shelf. Anyone know more? Here’s The Deakyn Smith Thread Quote

Anyone know more? Here’s The Deakyn Smith Thread Deakyn Smith is one to keep an eye on. Probably in the same boat as what Bedford was in his first at the Stingrays. So I expect Smith to push for Vic Country trials next year. 179cm who played across half back and wing in the 8 games he played this year. Clean and uses the ball well. Kobi George our other NGA prospect isn't much chop at all and I don't expect him to get drafted next year. Perhaps a late rookie if the club wants to put in a good development but highly doubt so. 2 1 Quote

Lord Travis 10,819 Posted March 13, 2020 Posted March 13, 2020 This draft is heavily compromised. Our first pick will likely come in the 40s unless we trade our way up the draft board. Trading away our first rounder to get a talented kid in Pickett and get a year of development into him was a smart drafting strategy. 1 Quote

Nightmare injury blow to potential No.1 draft pick Flying blind, maybe Jack. But this could suit our draft position, after last seasons 'wheelin' and dealing'. After a quick look through the articles, and bit of a read, a young player drew my attention. Archie Perkins.. I reckon we are at the point in list: to look to add some class forward: with some speed, smarts with some urgency. At 185cms and 87kgs, he could be just the replacement type for Hannan, who I think is just about on his last Legs. What do you think of him Jack.? any info.? Quote

I’m not sure that he’s still a next generation academy prospect. Even if he is, not sure that he’s good enough to get drafted. Quote
spirit of norm smith 16,679 Posted July 8, 2020 Posted July 8, 2020 Zac Dumesny and Jamieson Murphy are two youngsters from SA that are highly skilled running midfielders. Dumesny though would be a half back in Andrew Mackie mode. Playing seniors footy in SANFL and fitting in as an 18yo. Murphy chose footy over cricket. He’s a star but flying under the radar as he didn’t go to academy program. Will probably rise up draft boards this year as SA Footy goes ahead. Quote
