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

The Italian might be pick #3 ..

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.
That's not good news for us!  Scully and Trengrove are the clear standouts. We are drafting a midfielder with our first pick, so i guess we will take the next best. I just hope we draft a midfielder that has played midfield all his junior days not some kid that plays in the midfield sometimes, on the wing other times and sometimes up forward. What i'm trying to say is i don't want some utility type.
Something else i heard is if we had pick 1 we would take Tengrove over Scully. Thats how high we rate Trengrove.
Fingers crossed people, let hope Melbourne go for Butcher with their second pick.  :pray

Is that confirmed we are taking a midfielder with out first pick? Our first pick should be used on the best available kid at our pick.

i was thinking that a KPP is a lot harder to come by than an elite midfielder... so if butcher is there, probably should take him. but if trengrove slips to us i wouldnt be upset...

Midfielder Tom Scully is the unbackable favourite to be this season's No. 1 pick and talent scouts suggest there are between 10 and 15 other quality players before the pickings become slim. They are predominantly midfielders.

Trengrove or Butcher. I dont care who we select but both are top 3.

If Butcher is available then he is our man, ditto Trengrove.

remember Buddy and Roughy everyone. Lets not go down that path again. Best available kid is who we should select not best need for our club.

KPP are hard to find people.

yes and we too could have had another to choose from if it werent for silly decisions like the porn star look kicking that goal.

how people would rather take a win that "MEANS NOTHING" against a tanking side, over one of those kids is beyond me

Dees will play finals before us because of the smart direction they have taken

Once again...

If we had of lost that match, Melbourne would have lost another one and we would be in exactly the same position.

Move on FFS

Freo were unbelievably bad

I agree cranny. We're likely to finish down the bottom next year so it won't be hard to find a gun mid even with GC17 having most of the early picks. If the choice this year comes down to a gun KPP or gun Mid you go with the KPP. A strong spine is crucial to eventually becomng a top side.

Anyone leaning towards Dustin Martin @ pick #3 if Trengove is gone?

Anthony Morabito
Butcher?
