Dee Viney Intervention

Spends a bit of time in midfield rotating forward for Caulfield Grammar, against SA in nationals he was playing off half back flank at one stage. Absolutely has X factor, speed and makes good decisions with the ball and is lethal around goals. Gives us options enabling Kossie to spend more time in the midfield, Chandler if he builds his tank could also roll thru there, Chandler or Watson could play high half forward / wing with Kossie deep. Gives us a real different look with speed, skill and elite forward pressure. Plenty of options depending on opposition match ups and form of senior players. McKerchin and Duursma would also be great fits and fill an immediate need improving connection and our forward line.

Harmes most likely get’s Shai Bolton who quite frankly is the only player Richmond have that is worth worrying about.

You can only hope common sense prevails because that is massive overs and a huge leg up for Norf.

Agree with everything you’ve said. Would also be pretty Ballsy to take two Tasmanians. Sanders the safer bet for them as he is boarding at Melbourne Grammar and part of their Next Generation Academy so may be less of a flight risk. Having said that I do hope we target McKercher as he fills a need and hope we back in our culture and development to retain him if / when a Tasmanian team enters the AFL.

MELBOURNE Draft picks: 4, 15, 23, 34 List chasm: The Demons could do with a connector to help their forward-half efficiency issues. Simon Goodwin’s side this season is ranked 12th for scores per inside 50 and 13th for kicks inside 50 retention rate. There’s been some improvement in this area in recent weeks, but the footy world probably needs a greater sample size before declaring the Demons’ issue has been fixed. It’s clearly a team problem to an extent, but could also be helped by personnel via the draft. Ideal draft prospects: Melbourne has an absolutely stacked draft hand to work with. In an ideal world, either Launceston star Colby McKercher — a Zach Merrett-like midfielder with great inside-outside balance, composure, burst from stoppage, terrific workrate, agility and an excellent left-foot kick — slips to their pick, or fellow Tassie ball magnet Ryley Sanders — an ultra-consistent midfielder who’s clean by hand and foot and explosive out of stoppage that, ultimately, could be pre-listed by North Melbourne — ends up in the open draft. Another option could be Eastern Ranges’ Nick Watson, who’s a superstar goalsneak yet an astute and clean ball user up the field that could appeal to the Demons. Other options later in the draft could be Eastern Ranges’ Caleb Windsor, Tasmania’s Arie Schoenmaker, GWV Rebels’ Joel Freijah and Sandringham Dragons’ Archie Roberts. Taken from Fox Footy Article. No mention of Reid. As previously mentioned I hope we go down this path. We are in a premiership window now and connectors or quality outside players are currently the missing piece of the puzzle. Get 2 quality ball users for the now and the future. Looking ahead we need to think about losing May, BBB and TMac. We also need to figure out is a Petty a forward or defender so consider trading in a ready made Key position player. to fill a void there while Jefferson develops.Beyond that it’s Viney and Trac which we can draft for there are plenty of mids in every draft and I back this current recruiting team to find some quality.

No doubt Harley Reid will be a very good AFL footballer. I just hope that we use our draft hand to balance our list better. We do not need another bull, yesterdays game just reinforced to me that we need some outside players to compliment our inside players. Two outside players with a bit of foot speed and elite foot skills will help sort out the connection issues we have with that last kick into the forward line. Yes Harley can play a bit outside as well but give me two picks over one.

Not bad, but I had a dream of McKerchin or Duursma delivering the ball lace out to JVR with Watson at his feet…….there was movement. Much rather use this draft to fill a few needs than go all chips in on Reid. We need to sort out delivery / connection from midfield to forward line and to have an absolute sniper that scores goals for fun and has some serious X factor.

Dear Santa, (Jason Taylor) Here is my wishlist First pick McKercher / Duursma Second Pick Watson

You’ve got 24 rounds of football to earn the right to play finals. If you’re not good enough then you’re not good enough. I hope the clubs treat this idea with the contempt that it deserves.

“The Colonel” Sanders may be unavailable to us. According to Channel 7 North won’t be receiving a priority pick but they may be granted priority access to Sanders as he is a part of their Next Generation Academy.

Most likely training on the Roache Oval. Played away there a few times. The surface itself is great and the school has a passion for football. Change room area under the grandstand there is small. Not a bad facility to train at but in terms of the best in the APS I would have gone Scotch or Caulfield Grammar (Wheelers Hill)

Absolutely, I would love us to roll the dice on one of the Tasmanian’s (leaning towards McKercher) and Watson. We need to balance our list with some outside players with speed, elite disposal and genuine forward craft.Would rather use all our picks to fill some needs than go all chips in on Reid.

Good Call. Not sure WTF we were thinking having Spargo as the sub a few games ago

Although he didn’t score a goal from it, Trent Rivers run and carry in the last was up there with the best I have seen by a Melbourne player at the MCG. Right up there with Jack Watts and Shane Woewodin.

Congratulations Praha. That there is a script for “Football Porn” Just needs to be narrated by Barry White.

As a Melbourne supporter I was happy for two reasons 1/ That it was a goal 2/ It went that high I thought it might bring snow.

What I liked was that Jordon was trying to sacrifice himself and provide blocks for Trac at stoppages.

At least it’s not on a Thursday night

Currently being used by St Kilda as the southern hub for its Next Generation Academy and home for Frankston and District Junior Football League inter league games. Has recently undergone a renovation for office space for a private practice physiotherapy clinic and the indoor training area and gym. My club is in that association and I do a bit of coaching there with the girls teams. St Kilda are quite lucky to have it still after they signed a long term lease there only to be seduced back to Moorabbin.

Would be nice to see handball that creates run not handball that invites pressure

Orally loading perhaps

Can also play midfield and off half back. Would also back him to take mark of the year before Kozzie as well. He is exactly what we need, a player with X factor speed, polish and lethal around goal. Hopefully we see beyond his height or lack thereof and draft him.
