Mega Thread 2014 Drafts complete

[dee_mac]

I feel satisfied about melbourne tonight. That feels weird to say

 

[hoddo]

Not sure Oscar was the best available but who doesn't love brothers playing together? Also balances all those mids with that all important tall who can hopefully develop as a key forward.

 

[Theseventhhamster]

Can the young brother kick at all?

 

[PerfectFooty]

The top 2 drafts are amazing for our midfield and getting Oscar is late just ices off the cake. i'm glad we got the McDonald brothers, both at the same pick too, it couldn't be written any better!

 

[youngbear]

McKenzie falling is no surprise, everyone was all over him but he's a flat track bully.

Probably a lock for Eagles next pick then

 

[LeverPuller]

He was being projected in the 30s and everyone wanted KPD depth for the medium term with Frawley leaving.

 

[I am Jack]

Congrats on Neal-Bullen guys, kid is an animal.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Based on what public perceptions at least this loooks like a really great draft for us. Especially if we can grab a tall or Clem Smith in the rookie draft.

 

[Tulip]

Wondering whether McDonald developing may give Tom a chance to try out at CHF.

Billy S has tweeted cant believe my best mate has slipped through to the dees 40, Cannot believe it Brothers reunited!

 

[El Gringo]

Petracca & Brayshaw? #smashingit

 

[Oscarman]

Excellent username!

I'm claiming Oscar as my boy. As they say in The Walking Dead - claimed.

 

[Wise Guy Sam]

That's nice, Alex Neal-Bullen is besties with Stretch.

Alex and Oscar are bros.

And AB and CP hung out at Seaworld together and are great mates.

Handy to have close ties with all the poachers out there stealing our players year after year.

This is a page of all the phantom drafts combined. Neal-Bullen was tipped to go at 21, O.Mcdonald at 25. We got them at 40 and 53. Couldn't be happier with this year's draft.

 

[DemonLord]

So Petracca (Midfield/forward), Brayshaw (midfield), ANB (midfield), BS (midfield) and O Mc (listed as defender but highlights showed a fair bit as forward).

Nice - very nice. Does this batch update anyone's best 22 for next year

Oscar at 53 is a steal.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

N Jones, Vince, Cross + Tyson, Viney, Toumpas, Salem, Newton, Michie, Petracca, Brayshaw, ANB, and Stretch. It ain't perfect and it sure as hell ain't proven, but with our new development team hopefully it'll do. Coupla McDonalds, Kent, JKH and Hogan go okay too. Need a bit more KPP depth, particularly up forward.

 

[hoddo]

Would have liked McCartin, but that was beyond our control. Can't fault our selections. A really great result achieved by our club with F/S Stretch probably worthy of a top10 selection and picking up Neal-Bullen and McDonald at selections they should never have slipped to. Fantastic night!

Not for mine. It's unrealistic for us fans to expect 18 year old kids to make an impact in a man's game.

McCartney will get the very best out of them, particularly if they are mids.

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

Melbourne the winners in the draft - A grade players - good future.

 

[d33my]

McCartney will get the very best out of them, particularly if they are mids.

I keep forgetting he's on our coaching panel.

 

[Bartram_Class]

Couple of rookies left to take in the RD yes?

Find a couple of forwards from the state leagues.

Impossible to say who we'll take, but hopefully it's a Keitel-type project key forward.
