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.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
