    KPF? I’ve heard of the twin towers forward line strategy but we’d entering unprecedented quadruple tower territory

    Agree - I think we want a winger / good outside midfielder as a first priority.  The fact that we didn't go after Phillips or Polec to me suggests we might have our eye on someone in the draft.

    Would also love to see us go after another pressure forward too.

    This. If available, take multiple small forwards. With our current game plan, the game is won and lost in this area.

    I’m usually not too picky but that thread title is crying out for a comma, maybe a full stop or too, some brackets and certainly a question mark

    to the topic -

    quick running back

    winger

    small forward 

    back up ruck- consider mature recruits

    Medium size players needed who can have a combination of at least 2/3 of

    use the ball well

    have pace

    run and carry

    win their own ball

    intercept

    win groundballs/apply pressure 

    hit the scoreboard 

    1 or 2 players always slide, I think 1 from Mcrae, Perkins, Chapman will slide. Wouldn't mind taking one of them with one of Carroll, Powell or Henry with picks 18 and 19.

    Pick 28 best available for our needs if Downie is available then bid for him here

    Quick skilled players - ideally versatile. Get 3 if we can but I'd settle for 2.

    Key defender. We need a May replacement developing ASAP.

    I’ve read it a few times now and think I’m more confused than when I read it the first time.

    I wonder where Oliver would be going if he was in this draft without playing his final year?  Not only is it compromised with the academy picks, they havent played for 12 months+.  Better to be lucky than good. Throw a dart.

    The type of players I would go with the 4 picks are:

    Ruckman

    Small forward

    wingman

    halfback

    Hope we dont waste a pick on a ruckman.    We already have two developing young rucks.

    It will be a mature ruckman.. I would use pick 50. If we get Phillips we won't use 50.

    Ok yeah, I thought you meant another 18 year old ruck. We do need a mature ruckman.

    Hi Werridee, definitely  agree with 3 of those, but why would we accept pick 31 for Preuss, then use pick 18 for a junior ruckman?

     

    edit: sorry just saw the rest of the thread, already answered my question.

    I'm a big fan of Jack Carroll from East Freo @Pennant St Dee. I personally can't see Mcrea last until our picks which is a bummer because he's an enormous talent as well.

    I would be stoked with the Carroll/Perkins Combo.

    Longest thread title ever.

    Another Pickett type and wingman. Must be skilful and pacy.

    Other than that pick the best player available although i do like the suggestion of a KPD. May is no longer a spring chicken.

    • Demonland changed the title to Draft Targets Positions

    No way we need to look at a developing KPD. May is only 28, will probably play another 4 seasons. Plus sides have shown if you're in the window you can easily pluck key position players from other sides who want to chase flags. We've also got Petty developing nicely and is a good size at 197cm.

    We need pace & skill and a cheap back up ruck.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
