I reckon we will persist with Trengove on another short deal, and probably lose garland and Howe

Simon Goodwin rates the toump, he will not be traded, but he really needs to nail down a spot, his game against the dogs is what I expect from him every week, he is a third year player and it's time to deliver. And personally I think he can, having watched him train up close all off season and seen some of the coaching that he's getting I certainly think his issues are 100% confidence

Batting order looks quite shakey, not too confident that we can beat some of the better teams

I wonder if Essendon are considering recruiting K-hunt as a top up player? common interests and all that.

It deeply pains me to say this picket, but i think you were right on this one, i'm not giving up on young jimmy but my goodness does Ollie look the goods. Anyone got any idea on how to build a time machine? got back and change a few of these draft selections? haha

Both Viney and Tyson didn't have brilliant pre seasons last year so i think they will certainly be much better this year because of the more solid prep they have had, My point was more that Trengove was captain at 19, i thought his form was promising but Wines been very good consistently in a very strong midfield, i reckon he is in a better position to take a leadership title in his stride than Trengove was when he was given it

I think the difference is wines is that good, we put kids with potential in the leadership positions, wines is a genuine gun

Let's keep in mind even Daniel cross said this session was as hard as he's seen, this says far more about the session than the kids, I expect us to run out games far better in 2015

So better to learn off than Nathan Jones and Daniel cross, the standards are set by the old boys

Simon Goodwin would be thrilled with the young group that's forming at the club, should take us over in very good shape

Highly doubt this has anything to do with testing results

Developing under roo while he is there, no players of that type/quality in the next draft, Massive chance we land petracca here

I'd rather have a look at mccartin in training and nab cup before writing him off for round 1 He might well be a saint in any case

I would be annoyed if we picked Wright, happy for him to slide

I agree, i rate level neck in neck with Petracca as the most talented top end player in the draft, i am also a fan of Laverde, he just makes things happen, he perhaps tries too much at times but i see him as a really good AFL mid McCartin and Hogan should set up our forward line for the next decade though

I reckon we should take Lever over McCartin, i think Brayshaw is a really safe pick, but i think Lever is super impressive

Corey Ellis and Tom Lamb are both very good players who could easily slide to our second round pick, it would be interesting to see if we rate Stretch ahead of someone like Ellis

Players association has said if clubs want Mitch they will have to trade with mfc, Based on what we invested in Mitch we will ask a fair bit I reckon

How is that a win for the Suns?

I think we are, and he will be wearing number 1 next year. But i agree, i would like to see the rebuild happen through the draft, Brayshaw and Petracca with the two picks, our program is heavily focused on development Hogan, Petracca, Trengove, Toumpas, Salem, Brayshaw, Tyson, Stretch and co are a group that could take the club places if developed

I reckon there is a massive chance we will trade pick 2 and the frawley compo

My best guess at the first round would be 1.Stkilda - Patrick McCartin 2.Melbourne - Christian Petracca 3.Melbourne - Angus Brayshaw 4.GWS - Sam Durdin ( I reckon they want a key defender and despite his injury is a serious talent ) 5.Brisbane - Peter Wright 6.Bulldogs - Caleb Marchbank ( heard rumours they may take him a little early and love the look of him ) 7. Carlton - Tom Lamb ( Waite and Casbault rumoured to be leaving they need a forward target ) 8. Suns - Liam Duggan 9.Crows- Jake Lever 10.Eagles- Jarrod Pickett 11.Pies-Darcey Moore 12.Richmond- Jayden Laverde 13.North - Paul Ahern 14.Port - Jordan Degoey 15.Freo- Hugh Goddard 16.Geelong- Lachie Wellar 17.Hawthorn- Corey Ellis 18.Sydney- Issac Heeney I believe we will get stretch as a third round pick because no team will risk a player like Ahern or Laverde slipping down and them missing out if we call their bluff in the first round MFC second round pick - Brayden maynard, Roos wants blokes who bleed red and blue and has expressed a preference to draft mids and trade in key position players Hogan Maynard Petracca Brayshaw Stretch and later picks would be handy imo

there was a rumour on a facebook page today, obviously nothing reliable because it's facebook that Levi Casbault and Carltons first pick would be headed to the dogs for Stringer and the dogs second rounder imo its a load of crap but thought i'd post it anyway

I reckon Saints will take McCartin at pick 1. we will trade pick 2 as Petracca is the one with the real value and we will draft Brayshaw or look for a Tyson like trade with the frawley compo

Beams and the pies 3rd rounder for the lions first and second rounder
