Freak

likewise

Morton sounds like a Goddard with speed. Sounds good to me.

a big difference between Morton and Walker is that Morton is arguably the best kick of his draft and Walker was arguably the worst.

the chances of us getting cotchin is about the same of Isaac Weetra being in the 08 leadership group.

Look, I'll be happy if we get Masten because that means that his OP is only mild. However, the fact that Palmer has showed more than Masten whilst playing in the same team..how can someone justify Palmer being rated less than masten? Palmer has played in the same wafl team as palmer(i believe) and has had far more disposals and kicked far more goals. Palmer for me.

I must admit i'm a little concerned about Pears being only 192cm. That is quite short for a Key defender. I think Melbourne is after someone atleast over 195cm.

The upcoming draft 1. Kruezer: Any talks about him not being picked up is off their meds. 2. Cale Morton: Kicking freak who is suited to the way the game is being played. A bigger and better sweeping upgrade of Joel bowden. 3. T.Cotchin: Eagles should be stoked to get him as he can kick so well of either foot..which is rare. 4. B.McEvoy: Here we are at Melbourne in need of a KPP and a ruckmen, and McEvoy is both. On draft day we will hear 'Melbourne draft selection 4' and CAC respond 'Melbourne select Ben McEvoy, Murray Bushrangers' 5. Lachlan Henderson: Dogs will draft for need subconsciously and pick up the best Key forward in this draft(arguably). I'm quietly confident that is how it will pan out. I wouldn't be surprised if the following players slip outside the 10- Palmer and Rance(not many too people would anyway)

tagging is easy thats why..so i agree with the above post.

... based on the fact that he was the best midfielder at the carnival?

Unless of course, his entire career is cut down by OP. We won't get Masten anyway. Palmer and McEvoy are both ahead of him on current talent and potential alone I think.

thanks rhino richards, you just added weight to my argument. The stats you gave us showed that Hodge did not have any back to back 30+ touches games..as opposed to 10 consecutive straight he achieved previously. It shows that he has got worse..and even though he is still a star now..there is no doubt he was better 2 seasons ago. here are his 05 stats http://www.finalsiren.com/PlayerStats.asp?...FreesFor%20Desc I rest my case

yeh he missed out on AA honours..he was an absolute shoe in when he was in his career best form. People were saying that he was better than judd and all of that. He was on fire!!! 10 games or something over 30 touches..thats crazy. never looked like it since.

Are you serious? Luke Hodge has chronic groin problems and while he is still a great player, he is playing at about 70% of his maximum. Since his 10 consecutive 30+ disposals games or whatever that he achieved 2 seasons ago i think, he has struggled to get to that level.

well lets see..are you banking that i do not know mr.masten?..we will not pick him up. mark my words.

he is not the best available if he misses half of his career because of the OP tho..just like Luke Ball.

anyone with OP. i say no!

yes. he is assistant coach

heys guys im going to have to be a no-show. im going to let a more hungry demon replace me as I have exams

Lol. 'I'd take him, but only if no one better is available' talk about stating the obvious. I'd take Kepler, as for where..i wouldn't play him forward because he is a shocking kick. I'd play him full back...where foot skills are not that necessary. Kepler would need to bulk up anotehr 5kg and he could turn into a great monster fullback.

why would you want to touch a guy with OP?...seriously it has ruined luke ball and it has ruined moloney and it is not doing any favours with sylvia. Why take the risk? Palmer averages 25 touches of class and Masten averages 13 touches of class. quantity matters as well, otherwise guys like leon davis would be draft pick 1..the problem is..they cant get the ball ENOUGH

Dear Mr Axis Bob, This post was not meant to be interesting. I believed that Miller is barely a vfl standard player, and consequently the likes of ferguson and godfrey will feel even more shattered. I then went on to show you Millers stats...which you failed to look at. You create the spot fires..not me. You're just insecure about the fact that Melbourne will be flag-less unless we become miller-less. Grow some and have an opinion.

he is a guy that could play now..but he is too good for vfl standard and suffers accordingly

you will find that masten averages about 13 touches in the wafl while palmer averages about 25. go figure.

and you saw aaron davey play school footy when exactly?

agree with deez. probably put thomas up to 2..and murphy 1 tho.
