Well done Steve, and agree with all except for Petruccelle. He floats in and out and does not work hard enough to run off the ball. Petruccelles disposal is 50/50 at best. Turns it over too much even when no pressure. For a pacy midfielder, yes you are spot on with Ling as he is as quick and classy and tough. Toby Wooller as a 3rd tall forward should be the priority for us at pick 35-36. Great mark. Good kick for goal. General disposal is excellent.

BTW Nathan Murphy is in the same style as Jack Watts. Talented at all sports. Tall forward but not key position. Could play high half forward. Not the most aggressive type. Private school pedigree. Would need a year at Casey. Worthy of our pick around 25-35. James Worpel is a huge talent and super inside ball winning type like Oliver. Would be ready physically to play round 1 2018. Hard ball contested player. No frills. Can turnover footy by foot and not fast. Either would be welcome but come with compromises. But which players don’t!!!

The bottom line ... no draft lottery. We get Lever. Win for the Dees. Finals in 2018. ???

Agree Tigers 15,17 to Dees for pick 10 & 27 & 2nd round 2018 then 15&17 to Crows maybe Tigers too exhausted

If we can snag pick 18 or 19 as part of Lever & Cameron deals, love to grab Joel Garner or Matthew Ling. Need more run and both are excellent outside runners and excellent disposal.

2028 superdraft !! Sorry meant 2018

Thanks. That might take some thinking. Maybe get Crows 2018 2nd or 3rd round as a sweetener back to us

Sorry does the deal go Crows get MFC 1st pick 10 + 2028 MFC 1st pick MFC get Lever and (Lions to Crows for Cameron) pick 19 win !!

Yes reminds me of Dahlhaus.

Plays a Mitch Hannan type role. Can’t see both in our 22 or forward line. Has talent and needs a chance at AFL level.

Pick 10 should be enough. Maybe also throw in pick 45 if the Crows moan like stuck pigs

I went to the combine testing on Friday. Some really impressed but I was surprised by how many young guns did not test. Some very good talent injured or unavailable. Maybe a few sliders perhaps for the Dees. Andrew Brayshaw is top 10 material. Nathan Murphy will be top 25. Trent Mynott is a pick 50+ type that impressed. Good pace and agile smart ... potential half back wing.

Agree pick 10 & 45 for Lever

10 & 27 for Lever is overs. He is a backman who intercepts marks and punches the footy. Not a star midfielder. Not a key forward match winner. Not a commanding key back. Defender. Townsend (a dumped Giant) and him broke even on GF day.

Yes Jack Graham was strangely a slider to the 50s. Was ready to go and mature body, good decisions, smart but lacked a yard in pace. Who cares sometimes. He gets it. He knows what to do. This year Mitch Crowden is that player. Played senior footy. Solid build. Skilled with a 50-60 metre kick easily. But lacks just outright pace. Who cares. He is not slow. Think Matt Crouch just a little quicker and stockier. Could go pick 30 or 60.

Betts was only being held by one arm and 5 metres out. How could the Tiger biased umps pay that. Frees 19 to 24. And the Crows got the last 5 from 6 in the last 6 minutes when it was over

I would only give pick 10 for Lever. Nothing more. He would not win you a grand final. A good player but not a game changer.

Anyone who has seen the Dragons this year must be impressed by Seb Williams. Has a lot of AFL qualities.

Gun player. Likely top 3 pick in 2018 draft. But why post on Demons site. We have no intent on getting in a position for such a pick.

Agree Liam Ryan is another to watch. Interested in how he and Jeffy would pressure the opposition.

Lever and crows pick 35 & 53 for MFC pick 10 & 27 & 45

Tim Kelly. Runner up in Sandover Medal. Quick. Skilled. 23yo. Exactly what MFC needs. Goal kicker. Ready to play. Rotating mid to half forward. Would be available in range 30-50.

Big chance for 3rd or 4th round pick

Lever and crows pick 35 & 53 for mfc pick 10 & 27 & 45 optomistic I know

It's a yes from me
