Couple of good genuine ball winners playing for WA that might make it through to our second rounder, they are a bit like dunstan

Brayshaw and Petracca are my picks for our first choice

Jacksh is desperate to get back to vic, as is orourke apparently

I agree I think one more top line mid would be extremely handy, I think trengove is going to surprise a few next year as well

I don't think we will finish bottom 5 so two top 10 picks is probably more accurate

Wright, mccartin, brayshaw, lamb and Goddard all look top 5 picks to me

Our plan very much will depend on frawley I think

Hey rjay, any thoughts on Petracca?

I agree, certainly believe he has the ability to either develop the tank of a midfielder or play a high half forward role, i see him as one of the players in the draft with superstar potential but i don't expect him to make an immediate impact, very much a jake Stringer type project player.

Pennant, i was told by a mate who essentially identifies talent for North Melbourne that the two lacked athletic ability as mids but made up for it in footy smarts, he felt both were very much inside players and limited to that, what are your thoughts? obviously the ability to win the ball and effect clearances is one thing, but for 2 players alone to win 16 clearances and the team to only score 20 points makes me wonder about a. the quality of the delivery forward b. the quality of the forwards c. the quality of the metro defence what was your feeling?

Winton and another wa mid not sure of his name had 16.clearances between them in a 80 point loss

Petracca is an absolute steal if he goes at 29,.tall solid mid, long and accurate kick, very strong overhead Mark and a very impressive tackler, would not be surprised if he is one of the better players out of this draft

even the scumbag barrett admitted he was wrong. reckon Edmund had seen Tyson play before the article?

the big knock on freeman is he can have one great game and 4 bad ones after that, he's so up and down, Salem is going to get you 25 really good touches week in week out Kelly has great running ability and abit of class and good footy genes, but he isn't that special, he certainly isn't in the class of Jaeger, Viney or Wines imo and I consider Doms current form better than any of those three by a distance.

One thing that bugs me is the hype around Kelly, watching him I never felt he was that exciting, he wasn't clearly better than Salem or Freemans best, I still feel Scharenberg or KoloJashni were better prospects as well liked the look of Aish but felt he was too much like Toumpas

He's played 24 games if he can hold this all year it will be massive

Haha what a pissa

Geez it's going to be scary when we start seeing 100 games next to Viney Toumpas Salem Tyson Kent Kennedy-harris

I was told we did the deal knowing the player we wanted at 2 was a good chance to be there at 9 and we'd essentially get Tyson for free, at the time I believed it was Nathan Freeman, but I am absolutely delighted with what Salem has bought to the side, My girlfriends uncle kind of works loosely with the club in talent identification, he calls mfc, if he thinks a player is worth having a look at and he said he rated Salem and Kelly neck in neck as the two best mids in the draft but conceded he had only seen the vic boys live, didn't get to see Aish or Scharenberg too much

I reckon Alexis

it's downright scary that this kid has only played 24 games, add another 76 to that and I reckon we are looking at potentially the best mid in the comp, and Viney might well not be far behind him

Wow the bloke who wrote that article must feel like a doodle head, Dom Tyson right now might be better than Kelly ever becomes.

do ex Fitzroy or bears players qualify with the father/son rule to the lions? well there ya go haha

Tyler roos has good genes haha, I reckon we should pick him, all the more reason for roosy to hang around

I really hope we get Angus Brayshaw
