There's been some comments that this years draft pool isn't a great one but while it might be light of for the genuine top end talent (ie a consensus #1 pick) I think there a number of exciting prospects and it's a draft I hope we can be strongly positioned in.
The National Carnival is in full swing and today there is a game pitting Vic Country vs Vic Metro at the Punt Road ground.
It sort of clashes a bit with our Footscray side game today but if you get a chance it should be well worth a watch.
For those who can't attend, I think AFL.com.au are streaming the game starting at 12pm.
Some of the exciting prospects playing today for Metro include:
Cameron Ranyer - a powerful mid sized forward/midfielder and potential #1 pick
Will Sutherland - Son of CA boss James who is a key position player who needs to decide between football and cricket
Jack Higgins - a small forward or midfielder who kicks goals
Ben and Max King - KP twins who are not eligible to be drafted this year but loom as top choices next year
Jaidyn Stephenson - tremendous talent and play as a forward on as a mid.
Joel Garner and Nick Coffield who are half back flanker/midfielders
For Country:
Oscar Clavarino - a KP defender who generally shuts down his opponents.
Hunter Clark and Matthew Ling who will join Clavarino across the half back line. Both are attacking defenders/midfielders
Lochie O'Brien - a midfielder who is a great kick
Tom DeKoning - who's father player for us many years ago. He's a key forward or ruckman
Luke Davies-Uniacke - a potential #1 pick who is a strong midfielder who gets a lot of the ball
Cassidy Parish who's the brother of Darcy
Paddy Dow - an athletic mid sized forward or midfielder
I'd be interested to hear some other views if you get the chance to watch it.
