Aim is 6-7 wins. Realistic given we lost the last 10 games and two of our wins in 2014 were less than a goal.

Hawks, Swans, Port adel & Geelong... top4 Next ... Kangas , Freo, Tigers and Suns. Next... pies, Bombers, Eagles, Crows Bottom 6 ... Lions, Blues, Dogs, Dees, Giants, Saints. 15th for me. Above Blues, Dogs and Saints.

I think his SA factor as a go home after passing last year's draft is the reason.

Yes by tigers with a late pick.

Yes we have two picks at 2, 20. At 2 its either Tom Wilkinson for a Robbie Gray type with speed and goalkicking or Nic Newman as a tough skilled Beau Waters type HBF. At 20, its either Matthew Hammelman as marking fwd / ruck or Rowan Marshall also ruck/fwd to help Max Gawn in 2016 onwards. Both will develop like Max King. We will need an agile ruckman to top off our rise

Perfect storm...Petracca, Brayshaw, Neal-Bullen, Stretch and McDonald Add Frost, Lamumba, Newton & Gartlett WOW . Plus Goodwin. WOW WOW WOW

Cmon... Oscar at 53

No !!!!!! Family ties ... Neal-Bullen is good but we have inside mids@@@

Dogs dont pick Oscar !!!!

30 gone...please leave Oscar for the Dees @!@

Merry Xmas. Petracca & Brayshaw

Late mail... Demons to look at Matthew Hammelman for pick 40. Elite tall from Queensland. 198cm, good athlete, good mark and kick. Would compliment Hogan and develop into ruck/fwd combo with Gawn.

Petracca at pick 3 and in red & blue round 1 ... I'd like to see that !!!!

2. Christian Petracca 3. Angus Brayshaw 40. Oscar McDonald 53. Dean Gore pop the champagne

Oscar Mcdonald if available then in preference Dean Gore Ed Langdon James Rose Nathan Drummond Touk Miller Lukas Webb

Brayshaw and Petraccccccccca !!!! That would be Merry Xmas

Anyone think Lever at 3 is a chance ...??

Yes agree that Dean Gore would be a handy pick at 40. I think he should go around 30 so would be rapted to grab him.

Pros... key forward, competitive, driven. Cons... health issues/injuries,needs more physical development, kicking is 50/50. I rate McCartin as a risky choice. I think the Saints will choose Petracca. Whether we again think he is risky. I will Laverde is the best option at pick 3.

I think we will look to grab another young prospect here. Perhaps Daniel Capiron, Nathan Drummond, Jack Lonie or Billy Evans. Mathew Panos is a rough chance.

Agree. If we had 1st pick, we would probably choose Brayshaw.

McCartin or Petrecca at pick 2... its a win either way. Both could be number 1 and MFC needs both types. Brayshaw also is a future star.

Better spread after last 2 years of trading ... we are active and good signs for the future. We need draft picks 2 & 3 to be great players ... not immediately but by 2017-8.

Development league ...

Agree...we have too many C graders. Bail & Mckenzie are surplus that are clogging up the list. Newton will boost our midfield depth. He is likely to be an emergency Round 1 but we will give him a run Round 3-6 depending on results. HE IS TOUGH AND SKILLED...thats a bonus in my estimations.
