Freeman at pick 9 is hilarious, the kid can't kick. He looks like a poor mans Liam Picken.

His work ethic off field can't of been much better, the bloke came to the club as a stick - and left as a stick. He was in a professional environment and failed to gain any muscle, so on that alone, I'd say he didn't have the off field work ethic required. Morton appears to have his fans on this board, so hopefully they can all get around him now he's been delisted again - most probably for not working hard enough.

You are probably right you know. His work ethic was pathetic. Oh... but he was a good runner, LOL..

We are the Melbourne Football Club.

After getting overlooked all year after tearing it up, I am not surprised Magner got delisted, if he was going to get a go, he would've by now. If given the chance, Magner would've been our second mid fielder this year, so do not lose heart James, MFC is a rabble who hates ball getters.

Magner was stiff not to get a gig this year. The rest aren't much chop.

Same, there is a very good chance that Dom Tyson will end up better than pick 2 anyway. And.. Judging from what is said in the media, there is not a lot of difference between pick 2 and pick 9.

No surprises, shouldn't of went anywhere near number 11. No where near it.

Billings would be our best result. If he slipped to 9, trading 2 from Tyson and 9 was a stroke of genius.

Yeah I think Dees supporters taken those drafts off. Had Miles been drafted in 2008-9, 2012, then we'd have more of an idea.

Yeah, I picked him in my supercoach last year (GWS first year), pretty sure he had a good NAB cup. Anyway there was some reason I selected him, but I think he got injured and never played many games. I liked the kid, but can't remember too much.

IMO Sheed is the best leader in the draft, having captained WA, performed as Captain and generally standing up when it counted. I only pointed this out because you had a leadership/skill bracket for our needs and Sheed wasn't included. Not saying he is the best player in the draft, but he is a better leader than those you mentioned. I personally like Salem or KK for our pick 9.

Yeah, same.. I think Jones has earned the captaincy. But unlike the past 3 years when Jones was the absolute stand out candidate, there are now more options. Garland is a massive option, he'd be fantastic... Dawes is our best leader, but perhaps hasn't quite done enough on field to justify captaincy - yes I think it should be earned. And... James Frawley should be thrown up as an option. All in all, I think it's down to Jones, Garland or Frawley.. Jack Grimes should be Vice Captain.

As far as leadership goes, Dom Sheed's name would be in bold at number 1 - with daylight in between, then probably Lewis Taylor.

Anyone can have an opinion on football, how much weight that opinion carries is another thing - and it's down to each reader/listeners individual perspective. IMO playing the game is part of the education process, therefore I don't pay as much attention to some media journo's who have never picked up a football. It's just my take on it, doesn't make it right or wrong. IMO there is expert football opinions and amateur opinions and it just seems that the papers are full of the latter - this is because the writers have never even played the game. It's no co-incidence that some of the most astute opinions come from Leigh Matthews, Robert Walls, David Parkin, blokes who have played and coached the game of football.

That's it, he should still in good shape come round 1. Kieren Jack didn't start running last year will mid Jan.

C'mon guys, let's not give Tom Scully any relevance. Moving along... If we could get AT for pick 9, that is a VERY good trade.

Hodge was much better by foot during his junior days - than Sheed is. But I think it's still the most accurate comparison for Sheed.

I agree, those players are exceptional, all of them. If Billings slides, perhaps take him, otherwise either one of the players you mentioned would be a dream result.

I think the hype is more excitement. I don't really think people are getting carried away - but more excited. MFC appears to be on a more structured path with long term success in mind. We should be excited about this and I think most of us are.

Due to it being midnight when you wrote that, we are just going to put it down to alcohol consumption.

I'd be happy if we weren't completely blown off the park week in week out. I think we'll make the 8, but I think this every year.

Lennon looks exceptional.

Good to hear, we owe it to Hogan, give ourselves every chance to keep the kid. As soon as PJ rolled out the old line about needing to create and environment to keep these players, I knew MFC was in the right hands.

KK is better than Bontempelli.
