Eth-dog is pretty spot on with how I see it going. Except I'd pick Langford over Reid for us with our second pick. 

One of Pick 5 or Pick 9 needs to be speedy so I'm not on board with that combo. Will be interesting to see where Travaglia and Lindsay land.

They would have met the kids already multiple times 

I sort of assumed that last year, but then heard the story of JT travelling to meet Kolt and his family. Regardless it’s a mountain of work for them to do.

Who is “eth-dogs”?

Sounds like a pervert's name. 

No offense if anyone knows them personally.

No.1: Levi Ashcroft - Sandringham Dragons/Vic Metro
No.2: Jagga Smith -  Oakleigh Chargers/Vic Metro
No.3: Finn O'Sullivan - Oakleigh Charges/Vic Country
No.4: Sid Draper - South Adelaide/South Australia
No.5: Josh Smillie -  Eastern Ranges/Vic Metro
No.6: Alix Tauru - Gippsland Power/Vic Country
No.7: Sam Lalor - GWV Rebels/Vic Country
No. 8: Isaac Kako - Calder Cannons/Vic Country
No.9: Tobie Travaglia - Bendigo Pioneers/Vic Country
No.10: Leonardo Lombard - SUNS Academy/Allies

Has Kako and Travaglia much higher than some others. 

Still strange that Cal had Langford at 2 in the September edition but this fella can't find a spot for him in the top 10.

 

Finn O’Sullivan could go pick 1 or up to pick 3.
Lalor could go pick 1 or up to 7. 
Smith could go pick 1 or up to 6. 
Langford could go pick 1 or up to 9. 
Tauru could go pick 2 or up to 9. 
Trainor could go pick 3 or up to 13. 
Smillie could go pick 4 or up to 11. 
Reid could go pick 6 or up to 13. 
Lindsay could go pick 6 or up to 16. 
Hotton could go pick 9 or up to 18. 
It’s such an even diverse group   

 


This is quite a good rankings video:

He does it by player type though.

Langford & Smillie thanks, starting at the 2029 Grand Final centre bounce alongside Windsor. Toughness, height and speed.

From Fox Footy - noting that Armstrong according to the draft profiles is 195cms

 

If Melbourne held Pick 5, the Dees could be the first club to consider key-position prospect Harry Armstrong. Clubs love the 193cm forward’s penetrating left-foot kick, competitiveness in the air and mobility around the ground. Melbourne would also have the option of taking a star midfielder still on the board — Langford and gun Gippsland Power on-baller Xavier Lindsaywere both linked to the Dees on Thursday — but the risk would be seeing Armstrong land at one of the Tigers or Saints in the next lot of picks.

No Armstrong pls 

No knock on the kid but we need mids mids mids

Realistically we need both. We don't have an obvious partner in crime for JVR yet (fingers crossed that's Jeffo but maybe more unlikely than likely at this stage)

Petty is a defender long term post May I'd suspect, Disco more of a 3rd tall?

You’re probably right - my main concern is that any KPP isn’t going to be able to come in an impact immediately like two top end mids are likely to

We desperately need some fresh players through the middle of the ground, while I think for next year at least the combination of JVR, Turner and Petty will suffice (with hopefully a cameo from Jefferson)

Yep we do, and we have an opportunity to pretty much rebuild the midfield over just two drafts with Kolt, Windsor, 5, 9

But that probably still leaves us a KPF short. I'm torn!

People need to be patient with the draft.  I’d be taking a mid and key forward (Shanahan over Armstrong).  You need to continually have 1 eye on the future

Can you post it here


I’d be happy for us to take Tauru with our pick 5 and then the best of the midfielders available at our pick 9

are Langford and Smillie too similar or is it just that they are both taller mids?

Both different, Langfords ability to play as a marking forward and score goals is why I have him ahead.

Armstrong at 5 is still too much of a reach.

I don't rate him at all, I'd be disappointed if we picked him at 5.

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
