2009 AFL Draft

[pmac21]

Cunnington = Star but wont go at 3.  Kangaroos at 5 would be my guess. He and Ziebell will form the nucleus of a great midfield.
Trengove has more class.
Hope we get Butcher.
That is all.

[jezza]

McGuane, Rance, Thursfield, Moore, Post and at this stage Schulz and Polak as backups. Other areas need attention.

your taking the pee Jezza, surely??

do you go to games and im being serious here.

Schuz is rubbish, in fact if you look up poo in wikipedia there he is good old Jay.

Everyone wanted him played in defence. Guess what, same result he did nothing

Everyone wanted him played in the team when richo wasn't in there. Guess what, same result he did nothing.

Everyone wanted him played in the forward line. Aah yep once again same result. Nothing.

He is the most useless footballer we have had on our list. The only thing that seperates him from JON is his ex girlfriend was Hamish Mcintosh current mrs and for that he should get a tap on the back.

Hardwick still is soft in my eyes till he gets rid of this fool, along with the 3rd amigo in Mclovin.

Not suggesting Schulz is good. Just suggesting our second round pick should be used on something other than a key defender.

Scully was B.O.G. with 33 disposals to get Dandenong Stingrays a win over Butcher's Gippsland Power in the TAC Cup Qualifying final. Apparently Scully had 14 possies in the last quarter. Butcher on the hand was well held and kept goal-less.

Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Tom Scully is still widely regarded as the most likely No.1 pick with fellow Victorian John Butcher in top five calculations.

However, South Australian Jack Trengove, who captained his state at the 2009 NAB AFL Under-18 Championships, is making a name for himself in the SANFL and shapes as a potential top three pick.

Western Australian winger Anthony Morabito is another interstate junior that Melbourne and Richmond will be analysing with their prized picks. The Peel Thunder youngster showed an accomplished inside and outside game at this year's under-18 championships winning All-Australian selection. Fremantle will be hoping he can slip to pick No.4.

East Fremantle's Kane Lucas and Brad Sheppard are two other Western Australians in calculations for the first round, while mature-age dasher Lewis Jetta continues to impress in the WAFL with his run and carry and penetrating kick.

Peel Thunder's Aaron Black and North Adelaide's James Craig are two big men with rising stocks while Geelong Falcons duo Ben Cunnington and Gary Rohan continue to shoot up the pecking order.

Me = Doh! lol 

[mightytiges]

1. Scully
2. Butcher
3. Trengove
4. Morabito
5. Lucas
6. Sheppard
7. Jetta
8. Black
9. Craig
10. Cunnington
11. Rohan

I would be very surprised if that's the top 11 come draft day although it would be good for us if it fell that way. It'd mean some decent names including KPPs should still available at 19. A shame we don't have a priority pick.

[peggles]

these people are rating dustin martin quite lowly.  i would be willing to take him at pick 3 irrespective of who is on the board.

Interesting clip, Butcher kept dropping the ball.

Hmmm

According to Robert Wiley:

This year, talented WA youngsters Anthony Morabito, Kane Lucas, Brad Sheppard, Lewis Jetta and late bolter Aaron Black are all being touted as first-round selections.

Ive always wondered why Rob Wiley has never really been used by our club. Recruiting in the WA could have been something that he could have done and been paid for. Especially considering the rubbish recruiting that took place over many years. Why doesnt our club use professional people like Wiley. Hes a Richmond Premiership Player and he should be given a role.

Played for West Coast as well IIRC and basically has never left them since. The Eagles have always had loads of dough to spend on off-field staff compared to Richmond who until recently have had none  .

The WA kids in the U18 Champs were so well drilled. That WA vs Vic Country game especially the first half was the best junior game I've seen as far as overall standard of the teams. They were playing AFL style footy especially the WA boys.

The Dockers have fourth pick in next month's national draft and have targeted brilliant on-baller Anthony Morabito, 17, as their first choice.

Im not sure if this has been mentioned elsewhere but i thought this was interesting for us, mentioned in Craig Hutchison's sectioned in the Sunday Herald Sun, 13/09/09
South Australian Jackson Trengrove has emerged as the youngster most likely to join Tom Scully at Melbourne. The Demons are leaning towards taking two midfielders with their first tow picks in the draft despite their obivious forward-line needs. They will opt for the best player, rather than best needed-player.
