Kevin Sheehan reveals his top NAB AFL Draft Prospects: Tall forwards/rucks

There’s such a shortage of tall forwards and rucks that Shifter’s covering both categories in one article.

If you want a tall then next year’s the year for it. There’s a 199cm tall from SA called Harry Lemmy who will be all the rage next year as a key position forward prospect.

    nic is a 3-time all oztrayan as well, plus likely has at least two years left in his body

    But they both had significant impact on the outcome of games for their respective sides and one a hell of a lot cheaper than the other

    Dave Grohl is a big fan of young Josh and has already nicknamed him "Monkey".

    Was he nicknamed by "shifter" Sheehan?

    Fron SEN on Blake Howes and Josh Rentsch

    Blake Howes

    “Wingman from the Sandringham Dragons. 190cm and pretty athletic,” Twomey said.

    “He’s somewhere around the 30 mark for me.”

    Josh Rentsch

    “He’s a big key forward, a strapping lad from the Ballarat region,” Twomey said.

    “He kicks it a mile and reminds me of a little bit of Tim Membrey. He just gets the ball, clunks it and kicks goals.

    “He won the Morrish Medal (tied with Flynn Lakey).

    “He’s probably a second half of the draft prospect.”

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
