Straight Sets Simon

Sadly, a lot of those possessions weren't damaging. Just handballs sideways that didn't impact on the game.

Clint Bizkit - Melbourne

I've made that comparison many times in my mind already.

No, Todd Viney.

That's assuming we would get something for him.

What are the chances that Toumpas will be given a new contract after this season?

Sucked in Port, I bet they have no idea how well Toumpas has been training!

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.

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.

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.
