Yep brander all the way .He is an eagles fan which is strange for a vic lad . good omen
Take kicking out of the equation and Naughton is the best KPP in the draft IMO and his kicking can be mediated through good decision making.

He’s also a genuine defender who is a solid chance to make the grade as anyone given his body work and effectiveness in the air. At the moment Brander is still floating between positions and might not ever settle effectively in one.

In those games I kept on eye on Christian ameduri as well because I like the way his older brother, Julian, plays at EP but he's a few cms too short for AFL. Christian has that extra height so if he shares his older brothers tenacity he might be worth a shot as a rookie as he performed just as well as Starcevich in the games I saw
Christian is quicker than Starcevich, doesn’t play quite as tall (185cm) but plays gets more of the ball. He plays inside and out and attacks the goal face. If he’s not rookies this year I’d be aggressive in picking up if he translates that Colts form into Ressies/ League.

Starcevich is very much in the same pool. Late/ rookie.

I've only seen highlights, however Starcevich looks like he'll be a player. Strong, quick and can mark. Would be an asset to our team.
With the way Richmond played this year with smaller very speedy players that provide great pressure.
That is something Starcevich can do and does at colts level, his pressure is first class has super speed,
loves to tackle can take a mark and is so very hard at it.
The question on him has been his production as a mid.
But he has other strings to his bow so i think he can have a good afl career.
I would use pick 32 on him and would be happy.
I also believe wce are very interested in him due to his speed.

looks to take the game on as well. Sure enough we'd train it out of him.
Could his production be due to the fact he had to play PSA football over colts football?

i love Christian as a player but has hardly had any clubs interested in him.
Very outside chance as a rookie.

Whether you think we could potentially develop a player at 26 to be better than Kelly, taking Kelly will help us improve next year. Get him at 26 and hit with quality at 13 and 21. Take the potentially good players after. We need Kelly for an immediate impact from next year onwards, not a player who could potentially do something in 3-5 years. With our second round drafting in the past, at least we know Kelly is a hit.

Agree. We need at least a couple of players who can have an immediate impact, as Kennedy and co aren't getting any younger. Ah Chee is one, but we need more.

At 32 would you rather Starcevich or Worpel? Starcevich or Spargo?

Hasn't impacted others. My concern on production is that he plays in fits and starts. Not sure if it is in him mind that he only needs to turn it on occasionally. That is a really hard habit to break. I recall someone saying it was self belief. Difficult to see that as all he has been a top junior for a while and these guys normally have a pretty high level of self confidence and belief?

Again - not unhappy with the concept of taking Starcevich. I expect he will be a long way from best available at 37 so why would we reach? Very happy at getting him with a later pick and OK at pick 69.

How much better is Kelly compared to Grigg and Scloithe? Grigg the Magary medalist and Scloithe the Sandover medalist.

Grigg and Scloithe seem to be late picks even rookie picks where people on here seem overly keen to use a very good pick in 26 on Kelly.

26 could land a Bailey, Miers, Bolta, Fogarty, Worpel or another quality kid.

We also have two new mids who should be ready to go round 1 in Ah chee and Venables not to mention Duggan, Nelson, Cole, Partington and Mutimer who all can play inside / outside roles. Add Yeo as another rotation to spend more time in the middle.

I think the fact the ilk of Nelson, Partington and Mutimer are in discussion as possible midfield options is reason enough to suggest Kelly is a must have.

Maybe a tad harsh on Parto, as I did want him in the side last year and he did earn it, but he seems a limited player on the whole.

Wasn't Partington and Mutimer racking up some pretty decent numbers in the WALF?

And how many years older is Kelly?

Is Kelly that much better than Ah chee? Ah chee cost us a 3rd to 4th round downgrade. We certainly wouldn't trade pick 26 for Ah chee so why use pick 26 on Kelly?

This is the point isn't it? Pick 26 IMO is reaching for Kelly when there are quality kids available around that pick.

Good post. Good to see some discussion of the counter-points to the general consensus. I think the view of his value relative to Ah Chee is a great illustration. Most mocks and experts (I know, the term expert doesn't always really mean what it seems to imply, so I use it loosely) seem to rate Kelly somewhere around 3rd to 4th round. But equally, the impact Kelly could have in our midfield could be much greater than any of the kids rated around 25-30, at least in the short term. It only takes one other club to rate him at around 30 for us to need to use 26 to secure him - and we don't get to know that in advance.

Balance it all out and that's the complexity of the problems our recruiters face. I tend to think we target him at 32 or 37 and if we miss out, we move on. I think the consensus is that he'll contribute to our midfield immediately, but I don't think people expect he'll be a star at AFL level. Towards the back end of the second round is probably still seems a slight reach for a player of that calibre. But the 'fit' for us appears very good and potentially worth reaching.

We need Kelly and can afford to use a second rounder on Kelly with all our picks ....this is as long as Kelly keeps up his great form in the past 18 months or so , would Kelly be such a standout playing at EP rather then SF who in the past few seasons have had a pretty good team .
Worth the risk would help out Shuey and Gaff so we need to give it a go but if Kelly gets comfortable and falls away we have egg on the face but as long as they are free range all okay .

Would Carlton pick Kelly in front of other youngsters at pick 30 they probably will .

Look i don't mind dabbling in the occasional joke at Marsdens expense..

But even in 2018 i'd say he's still ranked higher than Karpany, Cole and Nelson as far as being a midfielder goes.

Using pick 26 on Kelly is what I expect a recruiter to do if they were fearful of losing their jobs should the team slide next year. Given the 2018 first round pick swap we did is another reason those same recruiters won't want us to slide down the ladder. They will cop a fair bit of criticism.

I agree that 37 I could live with but 26 there may still some real quality players like Garner, Miers, Fogarty and Bailey available. These guys could develop into a top 5 player at the club. Kelly will provide handy depth. If we get him great, if we don't we move on.

From Zookata's phantom draft he has WCE picking:

13. Constable
21. Oscar Allen
26. Brayden Ainsworth
32. Dylan Moore
37. Andrew Mcpherson

No real surprise with the first 2 picks- fair-good chance of that being correct.

The last 3 are interesting though as they are all names I don't recall seeing mentioned yet on this thread (3000+ posts).

Those in the know- what do you make of these 3 kids and would WCE be looking at them?

Fair enough but I think his papers are stamped.

But Cole, Nelson and Karpany all have pace, can tackle and play in multiple positions.

This is the point isn't it? Pick 26 IMO is reaching for Kelly when there are quality kids available around that pick.
If Tim Kelly was 17/18 yrs old this year he would probably be a top 5 pick this year, with his explosiveness, strength and contested footy. Him being 23 doesn't worry me. He was the only mature age invited to the draft combine and he's past those wasted few years where a player is too small to play seniors.
I wouldn't want to draft all mature age but 1 or 2 this year wouldn't be a bad thing. Choosing Kelly at 26 still leaves 13, 21, 32, 37 and 69 for young guys. Plus the rookie draft. If we can get Kelly later, all the better but It sounds like Carlton might grab him at pick 30. There is even talk, Geelong might get him with 22 or 24. We can't stop Geelong without using pick 21 but we should use 26 I believe to stop Carlton.

Kelly will be able to step straight into the midfield next year and has the bigger body so will be able to survive there. He also has the acceleration and inside/outside mid attributes we are desperate for. And we are desperate for ball carriers I believe. Shuey, Yeo and Gaff are probably our only ones and Jetta when he feels like it, and that is something Kelly will add to the team. (I hope Ah Chee and Venables will as well)
Kelly has also shown he is very good in the forward line, kicking bags of goals in some WAFL games, so he will be dangerous when resting forward.

All these young kids we draft won't get much midfield time next year due to their body size, so we need some midfield help for next year.
