Re: AFL Picks 1-20 Contenders
Agreed. With Geelong keen as mustard on trying to get Kelly last year, I am pretty comfortable with him, I'm guessing a hard, gut running mid like Hill from Freo? If Melbourne go for Kelly, well then Aish is a pretty awesome consolation prize! Aish IMO looks like a Marc Murphy type, maybe those who know him will shed more light.Zed wrote:I'm now of the opinion that Boyd is the clear #1, and that we are after a pure ball winning midfielder. So it sounds to me like either Aish or Kelly depending on what happens with pick 2.Old Mate wrote:If you take Boyd from the equation there's a few similarities between Aish, Kelly and Sharenberg and the top three from the 2001 draft. Aish like Judd has had shoulder issues, Kelly like Ball a track star and maturity beyond his years and Sharenberg like Hodge extremely versatile.
I really want another pick around 8-15 though, sooo many mids like Sheed, Salem, Bontempelli, Dumont, Freeman should be available around that pick who could actually turn out to be just as good IMO as any of them (obviously different types though).

Re: AFL Picks 1-20 Contenders
My preferences would be ( in order)
Boyd
Aish
Kelly
Scharenberg.
Only reason I wouldn't take Scharenberg earlier is that he'll start his career in the backline where we don't have too much space.
But there is a real chance Melbourne or GWS could want him.
Boyd
Aish
Kelly
Scharenberg.

Re: AFL Picks 1-20 Contenders
Hearing very strong mail that Melbourne want Josh Kelly in draft .
Looks like Saints will then decide between Aish or Sharenberg
Prefer the later but happy with either .

Re: AFL Picks 1-20 Contenders
If ( massive If ) GWS took Scharenberg would Melbourne still be keen on Kelly?
With some handy tall forwards already at GWS, and Scharenberg likely to turn into a Goddard type player, they'd hardly be crazy to go down that path.

Well, Melbourne have Dawes, Clark, Hogan, Watts and Fitzpatrick... so would they need Boyd?!
The Saints are coming!

That's what I was thinking, though I heard Watts telling people he is going to be a midfielder nowTrue Blue Sainter wrote:Kickit wrote:If ( massive If ) GWS took Scharenberg would Melbourne still be keen on Kelly?

Re: AFL Picks 1-20 Contenders
Ill be very happy if we get either Scharenberg or Aish.
Very happy.
(If I was GWS id keep Patton and Cameron and pass on Boyd and go for Scharenberg - but Im not GWS)

Re: AFL Picks 1-20 Contenders
Any one wants to know why I want Patton here is the ranking with Boyd, Daniher and Hogan. These guys will be the marquee players in 5 years and we should be trying to get one in case Spencer doesn't come on.

Re: AFL Picks 1-20 Contenders
My recollection was that Ball was supposed to be pick 1 and it was just that he had told clubs his first year drafted he was more focussed on complting his schooling than pushing for senior selection. As the hawks had prised pick 1 from Freo with an aim of winning next year's grand Final (remember just fell short in prelim) that they west for Hodge as ready made instead.Megamaguire wrote:Well I'm assuming the club has been seriously looking, reviewing and looking again at Kelly; Aish and beyond.
I still cant help remembering St. Kilda choosing Ball and leaving Judd for West Coast. I understand the issue of Judd's shoulder reconstructions in the decision - making process but can appreciate the safety first approach in going for Ball. Of coarse i'm assuming they hadn't placed a perfectly fit Judd with no injury queries above Ball but maybe that's not the way it was.
So, what a conundrum.
G O S A I N T S !
The phantom draft had us picking Judd at 2 and Hodge at 5. While no disrespect to Bally and X Man...Oh how sweet that would of been!!!!!! Maybe we would have been the premiership heavyweight rather than Geelong.

Re: AFL Picks 1-20 Contenders
Does anyone know where Josh Scott is expected to go in the draft he reminds me of that mid sized Ryan O'Keefe style forward and won the goal kicking and Morrish medal this year. Gippsland boy so won't be running off back home too.

Re: AFL Picks 1-20 Contenders
Article in the Hun today has Kelly firming at pick 2. Arrarently he's blitzing the combine. That would leave us to choose between Aish and Sharenberg - sounds like a nice spot to be in.
There is of course still time for us to trade pick 3 for some magic beans.

My recollection was with 1.freo 2.Saints 3.Westcoast 4.Freo 5.Saints
Was supposed to go 1. Polak , 2. Ball/Judd/Hodge ,3. Ball/judd/Hodge ,4. Sampi, 5. Ball/judd/Hodge
With Freo keen on key position players and home talent at that stage as they recently lost talent going home to victoria.
But they got there key position player Croad by giving the trade to Hawk who wanted a midfielder, don't forget Ball's speed and kicking penetration at Junior level was Elite by 1st year on the afl list and OP ruined the speed, and anther bout a few years later ruined the kicking.
btw where did the phantom draft have Bally going?

Re: AFL Picks 1-20 Contenders
Emma Quayle is saying that there are seven or eight standouts this year.
Tom Boyd is GWS-bound as the No.1 pick, Josh Kelly and Jack Billings are in the pick-two mix, and Kade Kolodjashnij (Tasmanian half-back flanker and wingman) looks a top-five pick.
One of the draft's classiest players is wingman James Aish and there is utility Matthew Scharenberg and Nathan Freeman, an explosive, bubbly midfielder.
Sounds like we could take any one of the 5 left after picks 1 and 2 and feel pretty happy.
