It's a company that provides you with a VPN. There are several companies that do it, but Astrill is considered by many to be the best - I wouldn't have any idea whether it is the best. You subscribe for a year for a fee. I think it's about $60 a year. In simple terms a VPN tells other computers that you are in a place that you aren't. So if you're in China, the VPN tells the web that you are in the place of your choice - America, Australia, etc. Therefore you avoid the Chinese firewall and can access Youtube, Facebook, Google, etc. You can also access tv websites that are restricted to a region, by choosing to have your VPN claim your in that region eg. you can access ABC iview by setting your Astrill location to Australia.

Don't forget Netflix

He said he's weakness is 1v1 which will be massive concern at senior level v men. At his height his speed isn't what we need next to Cloke, our forward line already moves like a bus. Not the right fit for us .

Disagree...whilst I've only seen the highlights, he looks like he has great pace for a big man on the lead.

 

[4tone]

Bontempelli if available. but keep a lid on it. the dogs are listening.

 

[THATSGOLD]

Something about Ahern tells me hes going to be a gun. I just don't know if we should be going for smaller guys though. I think Ahern could be a steal for a club with about a pick 10.

Oppositon defences already have a field day playing keeping's off. That guy would just add to our trouble of winning the ball back.

Laverde has many nice attributes except for large possession gatherer. He appears more like your x-factor 17-20 possies. I'm not sure on his scope for improvement to become an all rounder in a Nat Fyfe type of way.

Weller and Ahern fit that type of player that father lots of possies and both kick goals.

Dekka goes best available with early picks so it won't matter one iota what we hope for or need. It's just a bonus if best available also fits a need.

I dont think Fyfe was a big possession gatherer before being drafted(could be wrong) he was more of a flashy half forward type. Laverde has the x factor and the similar marking ability as Fyfe.

 

[Hardas]

Welcome to Collingwood Lachie Weller!

Yep - they can't get all of them this year.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Yeah, which is why the kid isn't eligible - Murray played enough games for us, but his son Mark, who is young Sam's father, only played 28 games for us.

Ahh ok. Forgot Mark. Because he was s**t!!

 

[Rorzza]

I can see the kid becoming a really good forward. How impressive is he on the lead and the clean grabs. All over him...

Yeah Wright has good speed better than average for all athletes in the draft, he has excellent endurance and is a very good kick. His 20m sprint and endurance are above average and he is 203 cm (http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-10-13/wright-can-handle-the-hype), that is why he is rated a top 5 draft prospect by the draft experts. Played well in the TAC Cup too, kicked 32 goals in 13 games as a forward who plays in the ruck.(http://www.foxsportspulse.com/team_...96134481&client=1-3020-111723-294694-20320271) His best game in U18 champs came against eventual winners SA where he dominated the game for VIC Metro. He had 29 Tap outs, 14 marks and kicked 3 goals. (http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-06-14/vic-metro-defeats-sa) He is going to be a player.

Rumour has us linked to Langford at 5 as that Pendles/Bont type bolter. Not in style but come in from the rain type pick.

 

[Tazzaye]

Game starts in the midfield, Id love a in and out midfielder with excellent kicking skills.

 

[Harry O]

Kyle Langford would be an excellent choice at 5. Marking half forward who will drift through the midfield as well. Nice size at 190cm. Langford, Moore and Maynard would all push for seniors early in 2015.

No no no. He is a ruckman and slow and a rubbish forward! Just ask TG, he'll set you straight!

I get a bit worried about these huge forwards dominating at a kids level, when they are really the size of men and probably dont have a good match up for them.

I get a bit worried about these huge forwards dominating at a kids level, when they are really the size of men and probably dont have a good match up for them.

Most huge forwards started off huge, and therefore could have had these criticisms levelled at them as underage players - Hawkins, Cloke, Kennedy, Petrie - They were all "the size of men" as underage players, but it didn't mean they weren't talents.

You have to evaluate a guy like Wright on his athletic profile and skillset as much as on his actual performance, because you're right - Sometimes bigger players do dominate at a lower level due to their size.

You have to then also look at stronger bodied prospects like Reece McKenzie and Harry Dear who are rated much differently to guys like Wright and McCartin and you realise that they are clearly looking at other factors beyond just putting up big numbers playing against smaller opponents.

Pick 5 - Jayden Laverde / Jarrod Pickett
Pick 8 - Darcy Moore
Pick 30 - Reece Mckenzie
Pick 48 - Dillon Viojo-Rainbow

 

[OniAu]

Ball winning midfielder with decent kicking skills!!! Is a must, we need to add to this area.

Late pick id love a pure opportunist crumber up forward

 

[Apex36]

Pick 5 - Jayden Laverde / Jarrod Pickett
Pick 8 - Darcy Moore
Pick 30 - Reece Mckenzie
Pick 48 - Dillon Viojo-Rainbow

McKenzie won't last till 30. Will be picked up by the Saints at 21 or Carlton at 28.

Doubtful that Iced Vovo-Rainbow will be around at 48 too.

Would love for that list to eventuate though...

 

[Soups]

5 - Hoping McCartin slides if not Laverde/Weller
8 - Moore
30 - Blakely/Bampton/Gore
48 - McLean/ Langdon

 

[SugarCoat]

We won't use Pick 48. We currently have 37 senior listed players.

 

[random numbers]

5 De Goey - big, strong, skilled in and out, fantastic mark (Fyffe?)goal kicker
30 Langon junior - top 10 beep, sprints, repeat sprints - good kick, kicks goals
48 Harry Dear -raw but potential monster forward (Leigh Brown?)

 

[Scodog10]

We won't use Pick 48. We currently have 37 senior listed players.

I'd err on the side of may not over wont. There are still 2 list lodgements between today and draft night so it's probably best to not deal in absolutes just yet.

Reaching with all 3 selections wouldn't be something that would leave me all that impressed personally...

We will if Viojo-Rainbo is still available.
