This one is worth a watch-



Most intriguing prospect in the draft with his size and skill set.

lionshine it's great that you post all these highlight packages, but it also would be great if you actually credit the individuals who spent time and effort to create them, and perhaps link them to the original poster.
Common courtesy I would have thought.

Jeeze he looks a good prospect. More risk than a Walsh or Smith but if he pays off you've got a Bont on your hands.

And it would be helpful if you followed the Harvard Referencing Guide too

Heard from a really good source that if things were to stay the same with the bottom 4 i.e. Carlton 18th, Lions 17th, etc, there is a strong chance that the Crows will look to trade with Carlton in a Lions / GWS type trade which saw us slightly downgrade a pick and gain an extra first round pick that netted McCluggage / Berry.

Has been talked about on Melbourne radio a couple of times in the last few weeks. It makes sense for the crows to look at this sort of deal, especially if they have a band 1 compo pick (or heaven forbid 2). Personally I don't think we (or any club) should take it unless the gap between #1 and the crows first pick is very little. We need the best of the best this year given we want to/should be rising up the ladder from next season.

Interesting question. Would Carlton, who are as desperate as us for top end talent, trade pick 1 for picks 8 and 13 or maybe pick 8 and the Crow's first rounder next year?

Drafting Berry Jr and somehow getting Charlie’s bro would be good for the culture of the place.

For those interested in watching the video's as soon as you click on them the posters logo appears on the bottom right highlighting where all the credit should go. I highly doubt giantroo would have any issue with people sharing his videos. It only equals more views for him which is a positive for him and potentially his bank account if they get shared around/viewed enough.

I don't think Carlton will finish last....

Yep.....we've both been on him for a while....

He might be the best option if we end up having pick 5

From reading the lates Draft Central article, it doesn’t sound like the Vic C coaches are keen to play Berry Jr through the midfield. More looking at him at half back and half forward.

Doing us a solid so he drops to our third pick

Paul Henriksen may have made a phone call to the new coach of Vic C.

nothing like bont outside of his height....

True, reminds me more of Fyfe . I don't like player comparisons anymore due to when you look at them at AFL level they are a finished product and these are just kids (elite) but kids nevertheless. I think most people forget that in Bonts draft year he didn't really show much and as the season progressed post the national champs he started to show more. RCD does look like a prospect though, one touch, agile, bit of speed, doesn't glide like Bont and his kicking was a bit loopy but in close (not just for a big guy) was very impressive

Dodongo thinks you should have faith. Dodongo forgets the last time we lost against that mob.

KM rates him as potentially the best mid in the draft. Think he may rise up into top 5 contention as we near the draft

This is definitely true. I remember reading another comment from a poster saying that recruiters in effect look for tangibles and that the consistency will come when they're in club land. Obviously it helps if they can find the ball and are athletic.

Bony was always going top 10. That much was clear.

Genuine question.. What do you mean by more risk ?.....

A familiar surname and another Halls Creek draftee?

Too quick for lionshine. I guess you have first claims on him now.

Walsh and Smith look like two midfielders who won't have trouble having 200 game careers whereas there is always less guarantee for mids of that size to make it at AFL level.
