Welcome to Demonland: Picks 7 & 8
First I’ve hear of Nairn anywhere near the top 20. He looks good but I think there are better options in the top 10

The Sam Cumming Thread
Would be a good get at what will be our pick 10. Solid midfielder that knows how to get the pill. Needs to clean up his disposal but plenty of times still is able to find the loose team mate.
-
The Josh Lindsay Thread
Agree.. he is a top 3 pick. If we get him for 7 it’s a steal

The Josh Lindsay Thread
Which Brisbane or Geelong players play this role?
-
The Josh Lindsay Thread
Nick Martin is horrible by foot as in NWM. Also, the way teams break lines is by foot not by running like maniacs trying to outrun everyone
-
The Josh Lindsay Thread
It’s 2 different roles and almost doesn’t exist in the afl. Those that break lines are traditionally average kicks and make poor decisions. His direct 30m kicks is what breaks lines.

Jasper fletcher plays a defensive distributor role fairly well.. isn’t a contested player and averages less than 2 tackles a game
-
The Josh Lindsay Thread
He plays a role as a distributed off half back. He isn’t meant to be a contested bull

The Josh Lindsay Thread
He is in the top 3 of this draft. If we pick him up at 7-8 it will be a steal. No other player in the draft comes close to having his ability by foot which is now how the game is played. Is exactly what we need off half back and through the middle. Him and dovatson are the duo we should pick

Dovatson has to be a top 5 talent. He is exactly what Melbourne needs. Quick, good by foot, tenacious and superb footy smarts. He will be better than Watson as he has more potential to play a multitude of positions including off half back. He is also taller and stronger with a solid core. Will be a steal at pick 7 or 8.

Training Ground?
Can’t divulge details but the glasshouse summary above trumps MFC plans for that land
-
Training Ground?
Yes. There is a problem about a tunnel to access the sports grounds from the SE corner. Not sure what the solution is for this as I can’t see them closing the racetrack for months
-
Training Ground?
‘Source’ ;-) the north east corner is now being earmarked for the glasshouse extension..: dees have been relegated back to the south east corner.
-
Training Ground?
Correct.. initially it was going to be the small triangle in the middle, then it moved to the south east corner then the north east corner. It’s now back to the south east corner. Problem is that it’s currently getting used for heavy machinery which needs to find a new section of the course.

Lindsay - spectacular left footer. Composed by foot and makes smart decisions Greeves - big bodied mid that can also play up forward. Good by foot and is also composed with ball in hand Dovaston - small forward that can also play minutes in the middle as he is ferocious at the ball. Similar to nick watson but bigger and taller Would be happy with any of these 3
