3.07 seconds over 20m - so not quick

Good 3km time trial and excellent V02 max result.

If Wines was available and Toumpas, O'Rorke are already taken would you take Wines?

Definatly...

I beleive we take whom is left of Toumpas, O'Rourke, and Wines in that order...

I'm not sold on plowman if he falls through.

In saying that, word is he's locked at 3, the top 3 have been told by GWS that they're are in.

I'm probably not the best person to ask, other than a few of the championship matches I haven't seen them play. Realistically I can only comment on type rather than individual player I would like, I'd prefer some outside run and skill, and a player that can play mid/forward/back. So based on reports of their skillset I'd like Menzel and Mayes.

The reality is unless you've watched a lot of the under 18s you're really only commenting on type of player, some people say "if we draft Wines I'll throw up" or "I wouldn't have drafted Clay Smith even in the 3rd round", but they have no idea, what they really mean is they don't want another player who's perceived to be an inside midfielder.

Re: Predict who we will draft

Bottom line is Melbourne would be insane to not pick Wines.
He's exactly the type of player they need and he has ties to the club (best mate is Jack Viney and Todd Viney who is their current head of recruiting, taught him everything he knows about football and is a pseudo father figure to him).

For Melbourne to pick more of an outside runner in Toumpas over Wines who is Sam Mitchell/Jobe Watson like, doesn't make sense.

I'd take either in a hearbeat though.

You could argue they also need Toumpas just as much. I'd say they have more inside players than outside players.

Re: Predict who we will draft

Would anyone liken Wines to Luke Hodge?

I am trying to get an understanding of what he offers. I am worried that we will end up with a glut of chunkier "inside" midfielders who are not particularly noted for being anything other than adequate with their disposal.

SOS has said they will tell their top 3 on Thrusday afternoon before the draft, not before.

Can only tell you what i read? how legit it is, is beyond me.

Also to clarify it was that the top 3 had been told, not that Plowman was definatly one of them.

And I'm doing the same

cool. That seems to be the consensus in all the media out there so i think it'd be a pretty safe bet. Pick 4 tough may not be as certain

Re: Predict who we will draft

I guess so. I just hope it goes well for us. We need a lucky break.

Probably not the best choice of words if we are going to select Stringer & Menzel!

Kind of when he plays midfield, but not really the same skill set and Hodge.
Oliver compares himself to Jobe Watson.
