I don't think we will play a part in the mid season draft. J.Smith and Howes have a pretty lengthy stint on the sidelines but I don't think the club will put them on the LTI list just to get a rookie pick.

Unless they have someone in mind who they think might be worth securing now. An extra ruckman in case Dogga decides to go back to WA.

I’ve expressed the view elsewhere that it’s becoming increasingly unlikely that Melbourne will participate in the MSD. The one area which I would see worthwhile addressing is in finding a ruckman to have in reserve and to possibly train for the future but the cupboard seems pretty bare as far as this draft is concerned given that the Sandy Dragons’s Max Ramsden is expected to go early and if we entered the draft, our pick would be low.

The AFL has given the go ahead to a number of players who previously would not have qualified. I still don’t see anyone tempting enough to consider putting a youngster like Blake Howes on our long term injury list to make space for the club to qualify for the MSD.

Permission granted: Eight more players given approval for MSD

There’s a young ruckman developing under our noses in Jake Bell at Casey. He’s probably not quite ready even for the mid-season draft next month but has been coming along nicely in the VFL. Worth keeping an eye on over the next 12 months.

HOLE LOT OF LOVE

MELBOURNE

Ladder position: 1st List spots available: 0 What they need: Ruck depth, lockdown small defender The Demons won’t have to worry about next week, with the club not having capacity for a draft selection at this stage.

But the one area to look at in the national draft, where they could become vulnerable, is in the ruck if Max Gawn or Luke Jackson went down, with no other recognised ruckman on the list.

AFL Academy member Jackson Broadbent, one of the leading ruck prospects in the pool, will be on their radar.

[Note: this is behind the Herald Sun’s paywall and I’ve found that sometimes these stories can mysteriously shift]

I agree that we don’t have to worry about next week but here’s Chris Doerre’s power rankings -

We’re in our flag window with limited depth players, I don’t see why we wouldn’t be doing all we can to get a ready made option. Some guys can come in to a system and just click right away.

Shouldn’t we be having a go? Even if it’s a gamble

Absolutely, if there is a spot available. No matter how perfect we believe our list to be, things can change quickly and, given our recent success at draft picks, we should top up with a tall, if available. Although having Daw, Tomlinson, Smith and Weideman in reserve would ordinarily be considered a luxury by most teams.

Medium size players we have in abundance.

Anthony Caminiti was once considered very highly. Could be worth a look if club is looking to replenish key forward stocks?

Yes … at one stage it was reported that we were interested and that he might be a 2021 draft bolter but nobody picked him. This is what AFL Draft Central’s writers said ~

Anthony Caminiti
Height: 196cm
Weight: 83kg
D.O.B: 09-12-2003
Leagues: NAB League Boys
POSITION: Tall Forward

SNAPSHOT: "A mobile tall forward who shot on the scene this season, showcasing sound overhead marking and shrewd leading patterns.

The Northern Knights were stoked to bring Anthony Caminiti into their program this year, and it was easy to easy why after his five-goal NAB League debut in May. The athletic key forward slotted into Northern's front six when Carey Grammar had a bye during the APS season, and did enough over both competitions to that point to be a late inclusion in June's Victorian representative trials. With more promising form, he earned a draft combine invite and looms as a tall prospect with high upside among this year's cohort.

STRENGTHS:
+ Mobility
+ Leading Patterns
+ Overhead Marking
+ Clean Hands
+ Scoreboard Impact

IMPROVEMENTS:
- Strength
- Exposure

Caminiti was a difficult player to deny given his goalkicking record in the APS competition, and he took full toll once given an opportunity in the NAB League. His five-goal debut for Northern stamped his status as a consistent scoring option, having strung together several multiple-goal games for Carey Grammar. At APS season's end, he was named in the competition's Merit Team for 2021.

As a mobile type of tall talent, Caminiti is quick off the mark and constantly gets separation on the lead. His mix of athleticism and smarts makes for some really promising attacking play, as Caminiti reacts first to the flow of play and can begin moving into the right space before the kicker makes a decision. With good delivery, he can be really dangerous.

The other factor on the end of Caminiti's leading patterns is his overhead marking. He showed many times when operating as a lead-up option further afield for Northern, that he could reach higher than his opponents and cleanly clunk aerial balls. With a bit more strength and size on his 83kg frame, Caminiti could even clunk more contested marks while AFL-level defenders match him for athleticism and smarts.

Caminiti's clean hands extend further than his marking too. With good movement for his size, the 196cm talent is comfortable on the ball and looks to move it on quickly to runners passing by. He is able to contribute at ground level with composure and often proves quite unselfish inside 50, creating opportunities for others by hand and foot.

One question mark over Caminiti's ability to make the next step may be his exposure to high levels of football. He played six game's in Victoria's leading school football competition this year, but only three at NAB League level. Five of his six NAB League goals came in one game and he could not quite find the goals in his Victorian trial dig. His movement further afield may be a factor, but Caminiti certainly found his best goalkicking form in the APS.

DRAFT PROJECTION: Late/Rookie

SUMMARY:
In a draft crop dominated by midfielders, clubs may be more willing to take chances on developing talls a little higher up the order. In Caminiti's case, he'd be an ideal late-round or rookie option given his upside and rate of development, with exciting traits which can be enhanced at the next level. He is mobile and comfortable in possession, adding a bit of dynamism to go with his goalkicking and marking ability.

I am not sure of the salary cost, which may impact LJ/Gus deals, but if they didn't, I wonder why we wouldn't fill a need now.

We need a developing ruckman, who might not be available in the next draft at our pick.

There is obviously a good reason if we don't participate and given our recent drafting/trading, it would be very difficult to criticize such a decision.

The next AFL draft may really be a few needs selections, rather than best available, given our list atm.

We don't have a list spot. 

The only likely candidate ito create a list spot s Howes but I reckon the club would want to get a few more games into him at the back end of the season and some finals experience if Casey make it.

If there is a player in the MSD that we want and who has previously played AFL/nominated for the NAB draft we can select him in the supplementary selection period later in the year as an 'A' Rookie.

Howes isn't the only candidate.

And I'm not keen on long term prospects unless JT has a hidden gem.

We're 2 injuries to mids or flankers away from having to choose between Dunstan and Melksham. That's not ideal.

To create the vacancy necessary to have a selection in the mid-season draft, we would have to transfer one of our players onto the Long Term Injured List.  Who else apart from Howes would qualify?

Not Smith - he is listed as 7 - 9 weeks.  

No sign of Hbbered retiring...

We don't have any legit LTI.

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter.

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
