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

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.

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

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?

@ChaserJ @dazzledavey36

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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.
