Farewell Sam Frost
HUSTLERS on the other hand actually makes the most of its story. Besides RZ's performance, JUDY butchers it.

Phantom Drafts
Kemp #3 and Gould at #8 for me. I know we don't address our small forward problem with those picks, but you don't draft for list holes, you draft for the best players.
- Poll: Who do you want with our first two picks?

Farewell Sam Frost
Saty's contribution there is as cringey as the end of JUDY. (Don't see JUDY btw)

Jack Martin
I don't think he's the right player for us. I certainly wouldn't pay above average AFL wage for his services.

WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - ADAM TOMLINSON
Eh? What are you blabbering on about?

Beware of Pick 6!!!
Clarry will be alright.

Splitting Draft Pick 3
I'm happy either way. I'm happy if we take our current 2 top 10 picks to the draft. I'd also be happy to split the picks if we could land 3 top 10 picks.

Jack Martin
Where would he sit in your best 22? I can't envisage him at Melbourne unless I can see him in one of your best 22s.

Hayden Young (Drafted by Fremantle)
Who's the better kick. Young or Gould?
-
Will Gould (Drafted by Sydney)
He looks a beautiful kick going by those highlights. Little bit of pace too. Looks like he could lose 5kgs comfortably and gain a little more speed from that. I think we'll only be looking at him if we split our picks again, as you say, Rusty.

Brodie Kemp (drafted by Carlton)
Charlie goes alright. A very good link up player. He doesn't get it a lot yet but when he does, it usually ends up in a score.

2019 AFL National Draft Thread
Sssssh. Don't mention Ash. Mere mention of his name attracts Osilik to threads.
-
Billy Stretch
It's not his natural position because he isn't good enough in that position. He might have made it as a half forward/ winger where he started, so I'd argue that's his 'natural' position.
-
Jack Martin
I reckon this is the case. So before some go you go mouthing off at 'how could we possibly not be able to afford him', think about this.

Billy Stretch
Thanks for these.

Brodie Kemp (drafted by Carlton)
Kemp seems to hit the contest in a similar way to Martin or Oliver. He accelerates into the stoppage, rather than being flat footed. Seems like a natural ball winner for that reason and unlike Oliver, appears to be able to play more time forward, followed by bursts in the midfield. This will suit him coming into the AFL system. It's early, but could have a similar trajectory to Martin. I can see the Bontempelli comparisons too, but will be interesting to see if we're seriously looking at this kid.

Jack Martin
Martin is an interesting one, because I'm not entirely sure whether he's built for the system we should be playing. He's slight, I'd say a little weak at the contest, but his positive attributes of poise and skill are a much needed commodity in our forward line. If our FD rate him and decide to go after him, and we can convince him to come, I'll be happy, but I won't be crying into my cereal if we don't get him.

Very good, Olisik. Thank you.

2019 AFL National Draft Thread
I reckon you take best available. That seems to be Taylor's philosophy too. Let's not go back to BP-like recruiting.

How do you rate our trade period?
Lol, sorry? Carlton? Betts? Bahahaha.
-
How do you rate our trade period?
If Goodwin's worth his money, he'll build a system around the players we have. There's enough talent there if we get the systems right.
-
Gun target - Key Forward recruit?
Right. So it was Membrey... despite it not being a St Kilda player. Certainly proves getting excited is a very subjective thing. Ah well.
-
Tom Papley
Hang on a second. I do rate Papley. I just don't rate him as a B+ or A grader. I'm not sure many would.

Anyone heard? Tom/Tom
Yeah, spoke to someone who would know about this today. I coached Tom (P) as a kid. Not happening.
