Coach?

Yeah the marking was nuts wasn't it. He looked incredibly brave too which would appeal to JT.

Laughs in Mac Andrew

"We always knew that if Ben could get his body right, his best football stacks up," Brown said. "You don't kick 60 goals in an AFL season by luck, and it was disappointing that some parts of the media wrote him off and didn't give him credit for what he had achieved. "He wasn't getting lucky goals - if that was the case there would be a heap of us running around on an AFL ground. "He's got something pretty special with his size, his hand-eye co-ordination and footy nous. "We're really pleased he could get back to this level, and while he had to go back to the reserves to work hard and re-evaluate a few things, Melbourne has been awesome in their support of him. "They continued to give him time and said he was a four-year player for them, not a one-year player, which took a bit of pressure off him and allowed him to work on some little things. "When the final siren went, it was the culmination of a long journey for Ben, but the last couple of years have been a real rollercoaster, so to have that all come to a head was pretty emotional for the whole family.

Reckon Brayshaw's baseline performances should be what we saw in the finals series. I rate him highly as a player but he did have a few average games during the year. Personally I'd like to see him get at least a few minutes a quarter in the middle.

Gray & Zac Bailey

Has Bailey Smith been taken? & Robbie Gray

BBB & Pickett stiff Have a sneaking suspicion Petty & Bowey will be the next ones to elevate themselves too

Would be interesting to go that way after picking up Bailey Laurie last year

We don't take outside cats who can't win their own footy

Purely speculation on my behalf (thus the crystal ball) Both seem like Goodwin/Taylor types & should be available at our pick I pretty quickly eliminate players whose weaknesses are contested game, intensity, work-rate from the possibilities

Reckon we'll take one of Mitch Owens or Knevitt

Hopefully he can avoid the writers block at least, I'm keen to read his post career autobiography as a 19 year old

Callaghan Andrew Rachele Gibcus

Ah I'm losing my mind then. I'll grab Maynard & Laird

Pretty sure I've already taken Pickett, we need a team summary

C. Daniel & Papley* it is

Just give the players next year off then I reckon?

Sorry!! Z. Merrett & Papley

Good luck to whoever has our future 1st round draft pick!

Agree. It's bloody tough to judge with such limited footage though. Even some of the more highly touted picks have only solid highlight tapes given the lack of games.

About as many as Bont, Macrae and Libba did A very similar amount to Wines, Dixon and Boak too

That our best is yet to come.
