Due to start in 5 minutes, lets see how we go...

Pick 15 Mitchell Brown from Sandringham

BIO
Key forward who enjoyed a strong second half of the 2008 TAC Cup season, averaging 14 disposals and six marks in his seven games for Sandringham Dragons. Has had a seven-cm growth spurt in the last 12 months, which now sees him as a genuine key position prospect. Attended the 2008 Vic NAB AFL state screening, where he recorded good speed and endurance results. From Mentone Grammar.

DOB 28/08/1990
HEIGHT 194.9

This years Harry Taylor. 195cm, I understand why we took him but I hope we did not pass on a gun mid or utility to take him.

 

[The Hulkster]

Slight surprise, thought Trengrove, i trust wells.

 

[betchsta]

What position is mitchell ?

Pick 33 Tom Gillies from Dandenong

BIO
Key position defender with good acceleration. Reads the play well, makes good decisions and is very good in a one-on-one situation. Had an outstanding 2008 season playing full-back for the Dandenong Stingrays and was rewarded with selection in the TAC Cup team of the year. His consistency saw him win the Stingrays best and fairest award in 2008. Recorded 2.94sec for the 20m test at the 2008 Victorian NAB AFL state screening session. This ranked him in the 84th percentile for this test.

DOB 07/03/1990
HEIGHT 192.3

Pick 39 is Steven Motlop from wanderers.. (Daniels Brother)


BIO
Medium forward with uncanny ability around goal, highlighted by five goals at the MCG in the final of the NAB AFL U16 Championships playing for NT. Very similar at the same age as brother Daniel in terms of his skill set and slight frame but certain to develop physically over the next two years. Has clean hands and excellent evasive skills. Northern Territory Representative at both U18 and U16 NAB AFL Championships. Recovering from recent shoulder surgery. From Wanderers FC.

DOB 12/03/1991

Pick 49 is Taylor Hunt fronm Sandringham


BIO
Athletic defender with good pace who possesses endurance and a strong attack on the ball. His 2.92secs for 20m (ranked 8th) and 25.49secs for 30m repeat sprints (ranked 8th) highlighted his speed and power at the NAB AFL Draft Camp. Was a Vic Metro U18 representative in 2008 and hails from Beaumaris FC.

Hope he can kick on his non-preferred foot, unlike his brother.

[Checkers]

Very good pick up with Motlop. I love that kid.

The name Taylor Hunt may cause a few problems in the future I imagine!

The precedent has been set with Joel Corey Enright. Now we have Harry Taylor Hunt!

 

[vinum coupe]

Thanks for the vids.

Gillies looks like a blend of Mackie and Enright.

I wonder who the backmen are that are playing on brown in that vid.
Absolutely useless.

Looks like the first time Wells has used a 1st rounder on a KF, interesting prospect he must be.
