And people still want this bloke on our list Fair dinkum..

Doubt it going by the Jason Taylor article.. ''At this stage, Melbourne will use all four picks available in the rookie draft. The Demons are more likely to select younger players, rather than mature-age prospects''.

His first year he had one serious back injury.. That's not alot This year he was fully fit, even did the whole pre season and played all year at Casey. Fact is he wasn't good enough.

Jesse Hogan = Jesse Hogan

Why Taggert? There was a reason why he was cut and that was because he was no good. Simple.

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-10-20/joel-tippet His highlights are impressive. If he isn't taken in the PSD I expect us to go with him at pick 2 in the rookie draft. His playing style I would probably compare to Ben Reid. Tall athletic who intercepts marks and spoils at the right time. A left footer aswell.

Read the comment before it got deleted.. BH you really are a [censored] of the highest order.

Really? If so he seems to have bulked up a bit.

To the people who went yesterday, was there any invitee's training with us yesterday?? Whos the tall guy next to Dan Nicholson???

Interesting Roosy mentions he does meditation. Good on him, no wonder he seems so relaxed.

Mate sorry to hear about the stroke. Hope its a healthy recovery from here onAnd i think i speak for many that live up in the country and no access to training, that we really appreciate the training reports! I get a thrilm reading them and im sure many others do. I know i have paid out a bit on Saty lately but one thing i cant question is this blokes dedication to going down and watching the boys train and giving us the inside info. Keel it going Saty. Thanks to everyone else on the training reports.

Melbourne draftee Jayden Hunt – taken by the Dees with pick 57 - comes from good footy stock. The 18-year-old is a descendent of five-time Collingwood premiership player Harold Rumney, who was part of the famous Magpies' outfit that won four successive flags from 1927-1930.

JHK is more then a handy specialist forward pocket. He averaged 23 disposals this year playing in the TAC. His ability to push up the ground and provide run and drive and then go up forward and kick a couple of goals is a handy weapon to have up your sleeve. The player that does this the best is Steven Motlop.

Rubbish Hine is just as rapt getting Freeman then Salem. Both will be good players. Unless he comes out and says that he wasn't overly happy pappy then you cant just make a judgment from face expressions.

That was actually against Karmicheal Hunt, not Tippett

So you think a rookie list spot would just totally turn him around as a person...

Interesting looking at your twitter you seem to try and interact with the players with the thousand of times you talk to them, not one of them ever reply back to you...?

Anyway I seriously hope we pick up Eli Templeton. Just a natural footballer that would add depth to our midfield. I was absolutely shocked he was overlooked. Runs hard and has a massive tank with good skills to go along with.

I seriously doubt that would ever happen..

Nicho has been training with the boys already hasn't he??

Paige's thought on our draft... Pick 9: CHRISTIAN SALEM (Sandringham Dragons) 183cm, 81kg There are some elite ball users in this draft, but Salem can class himself a cut above most, so damaging is his ball use. Salem is the quickest kick in this years draft pool, and to describe the way he moves the ball, its like he releases a sling-shot when he fires off a kick that he puts a ridiculous amount of speed on, which often confuses, and catches out defenders. Along with his damaging disposal, is his ability to hold his feet, rarely fumble or turn the ball over and always offers exceptional disposal under pressure. A supremely gifted athlete, Salem is a brilliant runner and when he takes off down a wing with the ball in hand, it is poetry in motion he is a ripper! Pick 40: JAY KENNEDY-HARRIS (Oakleigh Chargers) 173cm, 68kg The best, and most polished small forward of this years draft crop, Jay Kennedy-Harris is going to enjoy feeding off the crumbs on Melbournes big units, but he's much more than an opportunist small forward. The Oakleigh Chargers Co-Captain finds, and wins his own ball, and has shown he's more than capable of playing through the midfield where his tackling pressure and line-breaking run splits teams open. Kennedy-Harris has some serious hurt factor, and has a penetrating kick for a little guy. The big wrap on him, is his defensive pressure as a forward and was ranked number one at Oakleigh for pressure acts throughout the TAC Cup season. Pick 57: JAYDEN HUNT (Brighton Grammar) Plucked from obscurity in the AGS system, Hunt is described as a development project player who has played a lot of football with the likes of Christian Salem and Josh Kelly at Brighton Grammar. Hunt is a brilliant and polished kick on both sides of his body, however missed selection for the initial Sandringham Dragons side which was already choc-full of elite midfielders (including Essendon's Zach Merrett and Collingwoods Nathan Freeman). Nonetheless, Hunt is a wiry midfielder who'll spend a good season in the gym building on his light frame. Hes quite quick, has explosive pace and knows how to finish on goal. Verdict: 8/10 Christian Salem will go on to be a star, thats just about a sure thing but plucking Jay Kennedy-Harris so late was an absolute steal for the Dees who address their need for a gun small forward, to crumb at the feet of their big boys Jesse Hogan, Chris Dawes, Jeremy Howe and Mitch Clark in what is shaping as a multi-dimensional and imposing forward line. Im a big fan of what the Dees are done, both at the draft table and during the trade period which has really put the Dees in a much stronger position on field.

Good to hear, sounds like an exciting prospect!

Breese?

Roos also hopes to improve his footballers as human beings, one of the reasons the entire list will take part in Monday's Walk Against Family Violence from Federation Square. "It is something I have been involved in through a family friend and I am really proud to be part of it and to get the word. There is no question our footballers are in more of a bubble and can be shielded, so it is important to expose them to these kind of causes to get them some education." What a man this bloke is. you could walk into his office with open arms and talk just about anything whether its family or personal issues. Well done Roosy
