Perhaps we should go with what has worked best in the past and pick someone called Christian.

    Does that mean we use the pick on the Pope but with his age demographics probably wants to go to Geelong anyway?

    Would love Sinn if he makes it down there. I still think that Wilmot is the guy we take unless someone drops. Wilmot is a Taylor and Goodwin player through and through

    There's probably a joke about Christians and Sinn to be made, but it's not as if I'm the type to do that.

    Agreed.  Unlikely options (unlikely to be available) are Andrew, Sinn, Sonsie or Goater. 

    Likely available options possibly are JVR, Chesser, Roberts or Wilmot.

    Knevitt seems like a Goodwin type

    There's extended footage of Goater where he looks a bit like a Sam Frost midfield equivalent

    Not sure if he slips down to pick number #17 in the 2021 AFL National Draft but I am definitely keen on the Demons grabbing Josh Sinn from the Sandringham Dragons.

     

    Here is a news story about him: https://www.afl.com.au/news/574499/no1-draft-pick-contender-josh-sinn-piles-on-13kg-in-six-months

     

    13 kg in six months - sounds like me in lockdown 🤭

    As I recall there was a Cardinal Sinn in the Phillipines a while ago

    Indeed, the Cardinal of Manila was Cardinal Sin. I still remember that at the same time there was another public figure in the Philippines by the name of Miss Concepcion.

    Chesser's teamate in blake howes likes good too ,  190 cm forward / wing , my first thought after seeing his highlights was he moves a little like fritta .

    I think we could do with another med forward especially with Melksham at the end of his career 

    Sorry not sure how to post his highlights

    I'd be happy with whoever we go with. Taylor has a track record you can trust. If your looking for depth in positions we need a ruck, key forward, midfielder and back pocket player.

    Thanks @adonski, I know it's a highlights reel however his skills do look very polished.

    Mitch Owens, 190cm wingman, tied to Saints NGA, projected 15-30 range

    One side advantage of holding a pick inside 20 is it slightly increases the chance of Andrew falling out to 21. (We won't get him otherwise.)

    As a hypothetical, what happens if we use 17, then Mac is available at 21? Do we have the points to match or will we need to make a bunch of draft-day pick swaps to make it work?

  • Quote

    We may be able to game the system if Mac is still available at 17, which will be 19. Bid on Fahey so GWS match, then we have pick 20. Select who we want then Mac can be bid matched. Very unlikely he is not gone by then though.

    I don’t think that’s a likely scenario because by 19 GWS doesn’t have any picks left to go before 20 anyway. There’s also a chance that GWS won’t match themselves.

    Think we’ll be close or be able to swap a future fourth rounder to make it work. It will also depend on where Woewodin goes. I don’t think it matters that much if we get pushed back a pick or two next year anyway given we have already traded out of the first round.

    From those highlights: fantastic overhead, good agility, skills a bit suspect.

    Agree. It's bloody tough to judge with such limited footage though. Even some of the more highly touted picks have only solid highlight tapes given the lack of games.

    I think we will likely go for one the rated talls KPP's if we see some slippage at 17.

    Would not be surprised to see us package up our 30's and 40's pick to move higher if there is slippage for a player we want.

    Given the number of available list spots i would not be surprised to see another delisted player picked up for depth.

    I'm still keen on Josh Sinn with pick #17 in the 2021 AFL National Draft.

    Here is his highlights package shown below.

     

    However, until it is closer to the Draft at the end of November I really won't know who we will look to pick.

    Either way, I have faith in Jason Taylor finding another gem for the Demons.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
