Straight Sets Simon

Surely you're extracting the urine?

I agree, I like look of him a lot.

My point is that there is such group think around the top 10 to 20 players each year, usually based on current rather than future ability.

My guess is that in five years time the best player from this draft won't have come from the top 5 or even top 10 picks. It just seems to be the way these days.

That's the point, both Scully's and Fyfe's weren't all that exciting but one is now a star and one is a plodder.

I'm not overly excited by his highlights it must be said. However, I wasn't overly excited by Scully's or Fyfe's so it's still very much a lottery.

Melbourne still get access to some of the best facilities in the country, why is it an issue that they share with other teams? I know for a fact that the Demons and Storm help each other out a lot with various things including training equipment.

This thread seems to be slowing down so I thought I should reignite it. https://twitter.com/maddiewines/status/513457592027189248

You were watching the wrong videos? I saw the Fyfe highlights video and it was underwhelming also.

I remember being underwhelmed by Scully's highlights while everyone else seem to salivate.

I still think Laverde's highlights look more impressive.

The same thing was also said about Scully.

Who are St Kilda likely to take with pick 1?

I liked the look of Laverde's highlights, he looked in control and had time and space.

That's good insight, thanks.

Happy to be completely wrong, but those highlights of Petracca didn't overly excite me. EDIT: Also, Angus Brayshaw looks like Cameron Bruce taught him to kick a football. Quite awkward and often with a high ball drop.

Plus he shut out Betts.

Jetta would almost be one of the first picked at the moment.

I agree, however with point 3 it should be spin around quickly and then run back (backwards).

What an idiotic comment.

Again, today Melbourne players were far too slow to get behind the mark and turaround to look down the ground. Too often their first option was to look sidesways without having looked forward at all.

Pendlebury.

I love how after the Collingwood game on Friday night everyone was saying that the kid they had on debut (who was good) must get a Rising Star nomination, but I remember thinking to myself that there is still eight games to go, early call. Surely JKH gets the nod.

He'll be very good, just really needs to clean up his disposal.

For someone so small he uses his body exceptionally well.
