2009 AFL Draft

[tiga]

I'm starting to warm to your Martin idea Infamy especially now that the Dee's are going to take Trengove as well!

[torch]

Dustin Martin or Anthony Morabito?

Out of those two, Martin for me.

[Hellenic Tiger]

Martin for me also. Too many ifs on Morabito for my liking and he is native to WA and may get homesick in the future.

[one-eyed]

Some results from the repeat sprinting (6x30m).

Top 5:
Jack Fitzpatrick
Robbie Hicks
Jordan Williams
Gary Rohan
Jason Tutt...

And the rest:
Dustin Martin
Lewis Jetta
Dylan Grimes
Brad Sheppard
Jake Melksham


Emma Quayle: Martin was the star for me, tho he's been my fave for a while. Makes me realise how special last years group was

i dont get it, how is our need for a KPP not more acute than another midfielder...would be a crazy line of thought

[pmac21]

Pick 3 must be Butcher if Trengove is gone which will ahppen if Melb get pick 11 as they will get a good tall with that pick.
At 19 I think we should go either Bastanic, Christensen, Hooper, Luke Thomson, Gysberts
Hopefully we will have traded into the 2nd round for Tuck and get 2 of the 5 players listed above.

Well youv'e got to have a midfield that can get the ball to the KPP first and we don't have that yet. With Tuck and Brown going we need more flexability there.

I said it in another post and I will say it again, I am backing Martin in over Butcher, Martin is ready to go and thats what we need. We don't need more developing players that will amount to nothing like Putt, Patto, JON, Hughes, etc...... at least Martin has shown his skill level and hardness at the ball is better than Butchers and he could play round one....

question

can he use both side of his body and i dont mean the odd kick on his left here or there.

we need to find a player who kick with both sides.

sick to death of these one trick pony's

Yes he can and very well, have a looka t his tapes, great kick either side and very quick minded and in close, great hands..... he will slot right in for Tuck!!

[Ramps]

Dustin Martin is a 200 game player. I didnt think he was that quick. All he needs to show is that he has a tank and do well in the Beep. If that occurs and character issues are fine then RFC have to take Martin at pick 3 and hope that Black or Griffiths is available at 19.

Dustin Martin is one of, if not THE best disposer by foot in the U18. Truly both sided, is a pure centreman and now proven to be very fast as well.
Will be very disappointed if we don't take him

Fully agree. If the beep test goes well then he must be a lock for No 3 selection. We need footy players who can kick the footy. Martin does this exceptionally well.

[one-eyed]

With hard-bodied, inside midfielders back in vogue in the AFL, the no-frills Ben Cunnington, 18, has become a recruiters' favourite.

Richmond (No. 3) and North Melbourne (No. 5) have their eyes on him in next month's national draft.

Falcons regional manager Michael Turner rates Cunnington as "the most professional player I have seen in 15 years of TAC Cup".
