The club won't trade Ben for no 1 pick but GWS want him and Tom Boyd is as good a forward as there has been at under 18 level. Just do it.

One thing that both Milera and TDL do reasonably well is get up and down the field. Generally via running. I would argue that Milera's burst speed is one of his biggest assets. When he is on, he is offensively very good. His big issue is defensive pressure. If he can pick that up, he will be the be...

This is a hard draft as there are no real stand out elite mids like an O'Meara so I am trying to reduce the risk of us getting a poor outcome with such a high draft pick. I can only judge on what I have seen so will take your lead on Aish being much better than his champs form. If we don't improve ...

Another outside mid, not for me. Too small and under 18 champs showed he needs players to get the ball to him. I firmly believe we should keep away from these small outside mids who are not see ball get ball players, although they have elite skills- Aish, Billings, Kelly etc. I am coming around big...

Get to the champs did you mate. Which games?

Is Boyd really that much better than Scharenberg or is this Victorian/Herald sun bias? Who was better at their age Jeremy Cameron or Boyd cos Jeremy Cameron truly is a a Star. Maybe we should wait until the draft camp to see if Boyd is really that good. Ok hes big and dominates under 18 but so did ...

Tom Boyd is so far in front of the pack its ridiculous. Be very carfeul about listening to the hype on some of the 18 year old kids. There are way too many small outside players in this draft for my liking. Aish, Billings, Kelly etc are all high risk for me as top 10 picks. Sure they can run sub ten...

Webster was super impressive.

I think we should keep on selecting Geelong Falcons players. They produce hard nuts and they are almost unbeatable this year so lets hope more are coming our way.

Dennis Lane and Milera are a disgrace. Terrible recruiting and terrible selection. What staggers me most is the supporters who defend them even though they continually fail to win the hard ball or put their hand up when it is their turn to go.

Dennis Lane doing his usual thing, ducking his head and applying no pressure. I don't care how many goals he gets on the end of his weak efforts are not good enough.

Does not read the game or understand the game. His body positioning is very poor. This is something you cannot teach.

Emma Quayles article from The Age If Boyd is really up for grabs, who will buy? At a function on Monday, Matthew Lloyd told a group of teenage footballers how he ended up an Essendon player. He remembered playing for the Western Jets in 1994, thinking he was too young to be drafted, when the Bomber...

How many goals will we kick this week, will be a good effort if we can get to double figures.

Ordinary footballer. Wont help the side improve. If he plays who cares and if he doesnt who cares. We need the young guys to come one. He isnt one of them. Yep you are spot on. Can't believe we didn't play Saunders against Melbourne. Get him to fifty games as fast as we can. Has speed, uses the bal...

What a joke. Saunders was good when he came on the ground and provided real run yet we have to put up with watching Kosi and Jones run around the park. Getting games into the likes of Saunders, especially against Melbourne should be a priority. Coach is clearly in self preservation mode.

Anyone who does not have Harvey as their no 1 didn't make the weekly pilgrimage to Waverly to watch a player who was so much better and ahead of anyone else in the competition it was ridiculous. I doubt those who do not have him as no 1 could have possibly been at these games. To round it off grab a...

Boyd will go 1 and as it is not a strong draft for 18 yeral old tall defenders no doubt we will take a quality young mid. As recruiters are conservative I think we will end up taking Matt Crouch from the Rebels. If it was up to me I would be taking Boomer Harvey clone Lewis Taylor from the Falcons. ...

Saad, Milera & TDL all bruise free footballers. From time to time they may play the odd good game but the way they play is not what wins finals. Not a defensive bone in the three of them. I then look at Saunders who has plenty more to offer and has a defensive side to his game. Saunders should a...

Plenty of better talent available and with the application required at the elite level.

Lewis Taylor from the Geelong Falcons is a boomer Harvey clone and would be a great get for us as he is a goal scoring mid.

He does not work anywhere near hard enough when the opposition has the ball. He will not defend with any real intent. Ask yourself how would he (or Milera & TDL) go in a big finals game when its all about winning hot contested one on one footy.

Jack Billings...........Ben lennon We don't need another small. Jack Billings is not the answer. We need skilled, strong bodies, inside players and there are plenty of them. Look outside metro teams. Country teams are very strong this year. Our future success is on the back of recruiters getting it...

Probably go 1-3, so not going to happen, but Lordy what a forward line that could give down the tracks (assuming some natural improvement of course!)... HF: SIPOSS // WHITE // MILERA FF: HICKEY // BOYD // SAAD And that's not including potentials like Minchington, or the forgotten man Dan Markworth....

Dennis Lane looking for cheap kicks again, will not put his head over the footy. He can join Milera and never to be seen again.
