Bring-Back-Powell

How about we actually put in a respectable performance at Etihad Stadium. I know most MFC fans hate the stadium, but it doesn't mean the players have to play like dogs there. 6 wins would be acceptable IMO. Still a lot of work to be done to expect the club to start winning on a semi regular basis.

Still no lovin for Tom McNamara

Port's draft picks look fantastic. One can only evaluate after 5 years.

Hoping he's one of the 8 AFL listed players Gold Coast will select next year. That being said when Melbourne win, Miller fires. Miller's conclusion to 2009 was not encouraging.

Who cares, at the end of the day. The ball was in our court. We could have had him if we really wanted him.

Geez McNamara is a bit stiff. The only player not to score a vote This 22 is based on everyone's votes so far: B Rivers Warnock Garland HB Bruce Frawley McDonald C Davey Moloney Morton HF Sylvia Bate Trengove F Watts Jurrah Green Foll Jamar Grimes Jones Int Scully Woneamirri Martin Macdonald EMERG - Petterd Bennell Miller

His 2008 was a tale of 2 stories. Was exciting in some of his early MCG games and was good for 2-3 goals each week. However he had no impact in his last half a dozen games - looked tired. Can't wait to see him in the same fwd line as Jurrah!!

Wouldn't be surprised if Morton gets a gig this year.

I've noticed a few people are worrited about Maric. Just wait and see how 2010 pans out. I still think we have a gem on our hands, is a lovely user of the pill.

Would any these players be: Jones Bruce Moloney Rivers by any chance??

Hmm. He better be worth it for such a hich pick. Would rather take a ruckman at 34 and get more of a sure thing at 18 such as Luke Ball. Oh well it's only a mock draft. Talia at 11 would be a nice get.

Looks like we've got a bit of an injury prone player on our hands.

Very feasible. Sydney refuse to re-build, which you can understand. Dunno, I'm kind of warming to the idea of Luke Ball at 18.

Scully - S comes before T.

bullshite x2 On a side note, I've got a sneaking suspicion that Sydney may take him at pick 14. The reason being that Sydney have a strategy of always going for mature aged players. Plus they will have already spent pick 6 on youth. I'll be pretty happy with Ball at pick 18. Three top 11 picks and a proven mature age player that has won All Australian and a B & F. How many MFC players have won an All Aust. - James McDonald and that's it. Unlike other people around here, I don't care about the politics and how he's shun the club. All I care about is winning games, stop being a laughing stock and rising up the ladder - If Ball can assist in that area, the you pick him up at pick 18 -but not 11.

Welcome to the Dees Joel (that's footy love, not man love) May you have a successful 5+ years at the club and I look fwd to seeing you at the G in 2011, rebounding from half back and hitting Davey on the chest enroute to yet another goal!!

Perhaps the club had decided to start winning games again.

More than happy with this outcome if the Dees regard Ball the best available at 18. I'm not buying into the politics and bitching. If Ball's going to help us rise up the ladder, you pick him up. However I doubt the club could afford Ball AND Macdonald.

For some reason I reckon North will never win a spoon. They won't do anything special this year but win just enough games to finish 13th-14th. Infact I can see them finishing 9th-13th for the next 5 years. Just didn't stock up enough on high-end prospects before compromised drafts.

I voted 15th with a 6-16 record. 2011 is when all the draft picks will start cooking and a 7th-10th finish could be feasible. I still have grave concerns about our midfield (the most important ingredient to winning a game): -16th in clearances - Moloney is our best midfielder (good player but shouldn't be a club's #1 ranked mid) - Despite his crap 2009, we'll dearly miss a fit and firing Mclean - Jones is 'say-so' - Trengove and Scully aren't ready to win us games yet. - Not sure if Sylvia is better suited to starting mid or high half fwd? Furthermore there were many games prior to the list management period where we were very much inferior, (eg- Essendon, Brisbane, Collingwood x2, Port, Hawthorn). Our general field kicking was at times deplorable, so this will have to improve drastically in order to double our win tally. I think 2010 is too early to start predicting double figure wins. Hope I'm wrong though.

Or you could be as unlucky as the Minnesota Timberwolves. They selected an Italian chap at pick 6 who might not even set foot in the States - ever! The poor T-Wolves are sitting at about 1-12.

Welcome to the Melbourne Footy Club Joel! http://www.theage.com.au/news/rfnews/macdo...8219881697.html Couldn't be happier if we use pick 1 on this ball magnet!

Hoping Tapscott, Butcher and Melksham slide out of the top 10.

Interesting call, condsidering we can't kick 10 goals a game.

I wouldn't be upset if we got him on the cheap at PSD pick 1. It's not as if we're sacrifising a valuable draft pick and he's more proven than Thorpe and to a lesser extent MacDonald. However you'd imagine the Dees will take the common sense approach and let him head to Freo.
