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

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

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.

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.

  • 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.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
