DistrACTION Jackson

It makes it hard to get excited about the draft. Young kids starting their sporting careers tonight and another's has ended along with his life.

St Kilda being scared off by psych testing could be the greatest thing to happen to MFC.

Yeah I thought about starting a thread on this as well. Very sad news, hopefully they have a minute silence at the Draft tonight. RIP

I'm happy either way. We could do with both a power forward and another mid. Love having picks 2 and 3 but look forward to the day we have pick 18 instead.

That is one thing I've thought of as well. Scully was small.....like a rat, Morton was probably the skinniest player to be drafted since Josh Thurgood and the picture of Gysberts trying to do some triceps weights makes me laugh every time. Thank god these guys are big boys.

Would be a great result if we take Petracca and Brayshaw and Mckenzie slips to us at pick 40. I think we will go tall at that pick in any case.

My hopes: #2 Petracca #3 Brayshaw #40 McKenzie #53 Langdon

I hope we go Petracca #2 and Brayshaw #3 as that is what I picked on that comp on the website 2 weeks ago. Bet I get screwed.

GWS have a pick before Collingwood so it is also unlikely he would slip past them

It would be great if McDonald slipped to us I'd be stoked

If he's available that would be a great get. Lots of potential.

God people come out with some crap. Prestia's family are massive Demons supporters, I don't see him begging to come home. These guys are professional footballers, once in the system they would completely forget about who they barracked for as a kid.

I think that is unlikely.

It would be nice if Oscar McDonald also slipped to pick 40....

We can't lose. We either get two good mids who compliment each other. Or we get a good mid and a big forward.

Does anyone know where Jake Lovett is rated for next year's draft?

Round 1 Team prediction FB: JETTA FROST DUNN HB: GRIMES MCDONALD GARLAND C: VINCE JONES LUMUMBA HF: GARLETT HOGAN HOWE FF: KENT PEDERSEN WATTS R: JAMAR TYSON VINEY INT: CROSS TOUMPAS SALEM S: JKH

I think the biggest thing to keep yourself excited is that he was one of the top performing KPF's this year even though he had injuries and health issues. From what I've read he excelled as an underage player last year. These injuries seem to be the reason he won't go number 1 but that could be a very good thing for us.

The Toump also looks a lot bigger in those pics as well

That is part of the reason we were in the position to take Hogan and McCartin...

I am so glad we don't have to pick between McCartin and Petracca. Very happy to take whoever Saints don't.

The AFL really do waste a lot of time worrying about things that are irrelevant. I think there is a lot more too be concerned with than the coin toss! Reminds me of Cameron Schwab and his whole history bull...

I've got a feeling the AFL want to have always home and away jerseys a bit like the American sports. I hope they force teams like Collingwood, Essendon etc. to get actual away jerseys not the pitiful excuses they bring out now.

Dunn was struggling up until two years ago. I now feel he has really cemented his spot and will be a strong contributor for the next 4-6 years. So I think he will end up a win.

Does anyone know much about Mathew Panos and whether we may go for him at pick 53?
