I agree,sometimes you need these players to keep pressure on the other guys & for a bit of injury protection.Not every player on every list will be a star otherwise you wouldnt need over 40 blokes on a list.Some players take longer to develop or to find the best position for them.Now i havnt been on here for a while but last time i was everyone was saying delist Jamar as hes garbage,Sylvia to but look at the years they just had & to think lots of Demon supporters would of traded them for unknown players.Sometimes you have to have faith & go with what we have,its no point trading or delisting for players that arnt any better

Just a name from out of the blue which ill throw in for the defensive coach.But how about Nathan Bassett.Has taken Norwood from 7th last year to the grand final this year which they only lost by 1 goal.The list was also worse than the one they had last year as the club wasnt aloud to recruit or get any Crows or Power youngsters which they drafted.They lost older experienced players in Kris Massie & Luke Jericho yep made a big leap up the ladder.All the commentators here are saying Crows & power would be mad not to take him & think he will be AFL bound next year or year after.All opposition coaches of the finals side said Norwood played with a defensive set up & zone far superior to anything they had ever seen in the SANFL & said it was AFL standard.Norwood also conceded less goals this year than anyone else in SANFL keeping the years goals against to under 7 per game

Im still on the Alex Stopp bandwagon for a tall defender.195cm & 85kg & played all year at CHB & FB for Norwoods league side.He had a interview with the crows today as they are looking at him.Id love to have him & hes a true defender with pace & size & hes good mates with Trengove to

Trengove did it in his beep test this year to,he was the only one that kept pushing the other lads & kept encouraging them.Thats 1 of the things that impressed the talent scouts,said hes a natural leader & onfield leader

Youre kidding youirself,ask anyone that knows & they will say that the SANFL is far & away the best comp in the country behind the AFL.Its SANFL,VFL,WAFL.BY the way the whole subjact wasnt brought up by me to bag any player i was reporting the info from the paper & as most thiongs on here its rumours at this stage who will go where.Its not saying a SA lads better than a VIC lad or vice versa as it dosnt matter cos we will get them both it was just another discussion topic

Yeah all the tests are conducted on the 1 day,sat the 10th over a 4 or 5 hour period.As for the comment about the SANFL being a lower standard than the AFL well thats obvious but it is recognised as the 2nd best comp in the country & still miles ahead of the kids under 18 comp

The source is the Advertiser.Melb officials were here yesterday to watch the state screening wher Trengove was very good,in the top 2% nationally for the sprint & beep test.They had a long chat with him & its believed that they think he has the mental edge over Scully to be able to handle the media attention that goes with being num 1.Thers no diff as we will take them both anyway its just the media scrutiny & interviews etc that num 1 has to deal with.Hes had the media interviews & press reports etc leading up to the finals & playing in the G/F & they think he could handle it better.As for saying hes only just burst onto the scene is a bit off,maybe over in Vic he hasnt had the attention but the same goes here for Scully.Id say very few outside of Melb supporters over here would ever have heard of him,i hadnt until half way through this year.Trengove is playing at a far superior level & captained the state so for me hes a standout num 1,im not baging Scully though so dont think that.I just think that trengove is ready to play AFL right now

Alex Stopp from the Norwood football club has set a record in the beep test with a 15.9.Its the highest since the draft Camp started 16 years ago.Alex is a 195cm,85kg Key Defender,either CHB or FB.He played all year in Norwoods senior side & was named a rising star & was in the best several times.He stood the likes of Trent Hentschell,Ken MCGregor,Damon White etc & performed very well.He likes the Melb football club & played all his junior rep footy with Trengove so he would love to end up at Melb.I know hes a defender but hes only 19 so would be great for us & hes a great kid.Think he would be a great pick up either in our 3rd or 4th round if he lasts that far

Well if people think that we are only taking 1 mid with our 1st 2 picks i think that may mean that we pass on Scully then.Trengove will go num 1 in my opinion.Theink we have to take Trengove & Scully at 1,2 then go for a KPP at 11.Hopefully either Butcher or Panos are still around.For a late pick in our 3rd or 4th round id love us to take a CHB/FB by the name of Alex Stopp from Norwood,realy rate the guy

Its believed that Melbourne will take Trengove with the Number 1 pick this year followed by Scully at 2.Melbourne believe that Trengove is more mature & ready to take on the responsibility to go at num 1 over Scully.Think he can handle the number 1 tag easier & is more ready to play AFL.He finished in the top 2% Nationally in the sprints & beep test.I know in the end it dosnt matter as we will take both but its still a big compliment & something ive believed for a while.Either way we will get 2 guns.Go the Dees

That would be great,id be very happy with that.Been a bit Dissapointed with our trade week i thought we might have done more but that would make up for it

John Reid from the Crows said they wont be trading away or trading in anyone.The only 1 that might go is Jonathon Griffen who Port might take now that the Burgoyne deal is done.So they wont take Bell

From what i heard its Williams from Hawks to Ess,Burgoyne from Port to Hawks & then Port get Hawks pick 9 & Ess pick 10.That would give Port8,9,10

Port have no say if he goes into PSd or National draft.All Port can do is refuse the deals that Hawks offer but then Burgoyne can nominate for National draft.Which then if whoever wants him can take him as long as they meet his pay demands.Problem there for Burgoyne though is that Freo & Swans have both said they have the money & room in the cap to take him & they both have picks before Hawks.Thats where we might win out cos if Burgoyne serious about playing in VIC he might have to skip the draft & just nominate for PSD so as Freo or Swans dont get him.There we have the num 1 pick plus room in our cap.Port have just put all the pressure back on Burgoyne & the Hawks but in the end might help us.Maybe we have stepped in & tried to help Burgoyne out by getting his wish to play in Vic even if we arnt his 1st choice

My honest opinion i think Taylor Walker is better than all of the KPP in the draft & id give up 11 or 18 to the Crows any day of the week.Hes afew years ahead & just about to take off i think & hes at the stage where you know what your getting.Crows just signed Tippett for 3 years so i think that leaves Walker playing a bit more SANFL,maybe he would want out
