Not a bad result.

 

[Smoking Aces]

Would be a dream result. McKenzie at 26 would be a steal.

Add McCarthy at 55 and finally we have some good depth in the midfield.

Cotchin, Martin, Deledio, Foley, Conca, Adams, McCarthy & McKenzie.

We,ll get McCarthy via the psd.At 55 Im hoping for Brett O’Hanlon.Lead up Fwd with strong hands

Would be a great Draft for us.Adams/Mckenzie/O'Hanlon :clap :clap

Just a real amateur observer of the junior highlight reels - but even judging from those this would be an oustanding result.

Didnt realise McCarthy nominated for pre-season draft when I wrote that.

But do we have enough room on our list to take 3 picks in the national draft plus 1 PSD pick?

Only if Gourdis retires or Newman goes on the Vets list

I assume it would be the latter happening. You would have thought Gourdis would have pulled the pin by now.

Another possibility is seeing whether Moores body stands up from now until the final list lodgment.

Yeah, that too. At least there may be some options.

 

[tigs2010]

This would be an enormous result. 2 very good midfielders one more inside and one more outside but both seem to be flexible in the positions they can play. Would think we would have to go tall at 55.

 

[Danog]

Wonder if we'd have a go at Manson if he was still there at 55...?

Not sure. I feel like it will be a waste. However, IMO the indigenous players do a lot better in Melbourne if they can crack the firsts team and not play at Coburg. Ours seem to always rot at Coburg and get homesick. On the flipside you can't just play him for this reason if he hasn't worked hard. Team chemistry seems at an all-time high these days. Also think the Dees will take him.

 

[Lennox Street]

Both Adams and McKenzie are quite slow, wouldn't be suprised if it was one or the other but not both. We aren't superquick around the ball as it is.

They are my top (realistic) choices Skipper

(I am assuming Sumner is no chance to make it to 15)

 

[ILuvLids]

I still think the club should go for Markworth at 15. He is a lead up forward with a good set of hands. We dont really have a forward at the club who plays like that.

Rumoured to go at 14 now.

Like him alot as well - could be possible last til 26?

:hihi Just read Tigi's post - wow that high, could see clubs going second live pick but 1st?............ oh GWS - yeah suppose.

Yer don't think anyone would take him top 14 unless it was their ELEVENTH pick.

I'd sure take him if he was available at our 11th. :hihi

 

[jimbob]

Wouldn't mind Docherty - he looks very promising. Devon Smith would be a ripper replacement for Nathan Foley long term

 

[Barnzy]

Decision making is much more important than pace.
