2012 VFL Draft Prospects

[Matt loves Essendon]

What do you guys think about Marcus Marigliani from Sandy? I quite enjoyed watching him play for essendon. Actually I was astounded when he got cut.

Any chance of him getting picked up again by a club?

Actually we didn't choose to delist him, it was his fault. He didn't want it at the time if I remember correctly. But he definitely has the talent to make it. St Kilda nearly rookied him last year and I expect that they will rookie him this year

Thoughts on Will Burstin & Mitch Wooffindin ?

He was offered another rookie contract, but he runs a business (chippy?) that earns about $80K-$100K a year from memory. He didn't want another $30K the following year when he could earn about 3 times that. The only way Marigliani will play is if he gets a spot on the senior list. He is certainly good enough.

He did a knee (or some serious injury) when he was on our rookie list, and not far off senior seleciton. Terrible timing for him.
But I personally thought he was basically average. Finds the pill consistently, kicking is indiscriminate, and not that quick. At 26-27 odd, I don't know there's a lot of improvement left. Wouldn't be the worst player, on most lists though, and he's certainly hard enough.

Anybody know if Alex Stopp is still playing for Norwood? I liked him a few years back in the Championships as a FB.

 

[Slattery_20]

How does he go, C4?

This was him at the carnival.

194 cms, 85 kgs.

I've since found out that he did his knee during 2011.

 

[Slattery_20]

I think you missed my point... Stopp/go? gedit?

Ahhhh now I get it!

 

[ZAAHAARAKIS!!!!!]

Surprised no one has mentioned trent shinners, he's a great defensive stopper at Full back. Pretty good size and skils about him.
And massively courageous, seen him knocked out twice on the field going back with the flight, he doesn't like to stay down. I really like him and hope that either essendon rookie him, or we can persuade him to skipper the essendon vfl team.

Doing placement with the Whitehorse radio station and one player who consistently gets a mention is Xavier Murphy.

Any chance him, David Mirra and Matt Jones will be on an AFL list for 2013?

 

[daisy is a spud]

personally think that Shinners is an excellent third man up and is very good at zoning off his opponent but one on one he struggles. Would need a strong midfield in the AFL because I don't think he could be relied upon to beat the top forwards without the delivery being heavily pressured. If he was drafted to be the third tall and guard the resting ruck however, he could be quite successful.

Matt Jones turns 25 in October, so that may count against him. He's a super quick, outside type, but I'm not sure he's been consistent enough this year to have a real chance.

If Mirra couldn't get picked up after his 2011 season, I don't hold out much hope for him. Pace is a worry, but I reckon he is well worth a Rookie listing.

Xavier Murphy, brother of Tom, has been a surprise packet. I'd probably just have Luke Andrews ahead of him as a prospect.

 

[Colin D'Cops]

Majak Daw starting well against North Ballarat, very impressive. Bit like Naitanui with his athleticism.

 

[Colin D'Cops]

Greenwood and McKenzie also been impressive.

Particularly like McKenzie's disposal skills, very composed user of the footy. Could do with him at our club at the moment.

 

[year of the roo]

They are all North listed and all contracted for next year. Barely worth mentioning in this thread.

 

[Yoda_]

Good to see Dean Towers invited to the national combine while 5 others were invited to the state combine.

Still think that Kyle Martin is the best midfield option out of all of them listed

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Hey Alex, Stopp no go no Stopp no go no Stopp.

That joke quickly dies.

And flashiness and marketability.

Andrews, have certainly heard his name a hellofalot during placement.

Is Daniel Pratt worthy enough of being some sort of a playing coach next year or something?

GWS should have picked up Pratt.

Idiots.

 

[daisy is a spud]

Wonder if we will see Coburg's David Fahey get a state screening spot after an outstanding last couple of months. There don't appear to be that many KPDs going around worthy of draft selection in the state leagues so he could have a real shot. Good size at 194cm and is a strong contested mark. Trained with Richmond in the lead up to the rookie draft last year (admittedly so did a few of Coburg's players) and is certainly one to keep an eye out for.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Myke Cook (sandringham)

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Khan Haretuku would have to be a guarantee wouldn't he?

Really don't like Kyle Hartigan's chances after watching him closely over the last 3-4 weeks.

Billy Driscoll has the smarts to be an AFL footballer, not too sure if anyone would give him a shot though.

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

Yoda_ Do you think Chris Cain is a chance ?

He has played over 100 games been in the best players a few times & played in the TSL game.
