Re: 2012 Draft - Who do you like?

Would we give up a first round pick for Josh Kennedy from Sydney?

Scroll down to menzel - a sign perhaps?

Seems too risky with the LARS surgery he's had done.

You would hope so cause that will open up a lot for us. But I would think that unwritten rule of other clubs dont chase a father son will kick in.

There is no such thing.

Clubs have a duty to keep the rewarded club honest.

Menzel for mine.

Cubs went off Selwood because he had injury issues leading to the draft. Geelong laughed all the way to the bank.

Is it just me or does anyone else think Marvin Warrell is a dead spit for Leon Davis?

It was his knee, but Geelong were pretty certain his knee was fine after taking him to a specialist and now he's famous for it in AFL circles.

Considering his brother has bad knees (can be hereditary) and the LARS surgery being relatively unproven. I'd rather we give Menzel a miss, we can't be certain.

I agree, if he slides he may be worth the risk due to having big upside, but his situation is different from Selwood.

Selwood had 2 experienced brothers playing AFL footy and neither had knee problems, which indicates Selwood was more likely unlucky than predisposed to knee problems. Menzel clearly has bad ACL genetics in the family, he's done one and his brother has done both (both times simply changing direction and not the result of a collision). The two Brown's have both done ACL's too for example.

Daniel Menzel may come back after having both ACL's grafted and never have another issue, Troy might be the same, but it's too big a risk when we have pick 5 & 6 as far as I'm concerned.

Re: 2012 Draft - Who do you like?

If he had no knee issues he would be a shoe in for top 5 wouldn't he? He fits exactly what we want but it is a huge risk. Much like Stringer.

Re: 2012 Draft - Who do you like?

Leaving Whitfield, Daniher and Viney out of it, I like the three SA boys.

Toumpas
Mayes
Kennedy

Then Gartlett and O'Rourke. No interest in Grundy or Shaw really. Wines is good but just more of what we already have.

I like your nominations but I would also add Simpson from WA and Plowman from the Cannons.

Re: 2012 Draft - Who do you like?

I'll have the Premiership captain midfielder and the 100 goal key forward thanks.

Sounds like Mayes and Stringer then.

Reckon that's the way we'll end up going.

Quality medium mid / fwd and key forward in Stringer.

Agreed. All would be great selections for us. I'm very keen on Kennedy.

Re: 2012 Draft - Who do you like?

I hope to all heaven someone is working on Jon Patton's agent. If he digs his heels in to come home at the end of 2013 I'd love to reverse the cornholing we copped for Ward. Sadly, we may well be in box seat to trade him out of there based on the back end of this year. Mayes, Stringer and next year Patton in exchange for 2013's #1 or #2 might get us back quickly.

Re: 2012 Draft - Who do you like?

Will Melbourne be forced to use picks 3 or 4 on Viney? Hopefully Sheedy attmepts to do this

That's the only way this would happen, if GWS or GC bid their first pick, and given the quality in the draft i don't think that it'll eventuate, unless we trade 5 or 6 to them for the mini draft pick, that is.

Re: 2012 Draft - Who do you like?

Silly question but what picks do we actually have again?
