I reckon Andrew McGrath will fly up the draft charts this year. Would be very surprised if he goes outside the first round.

Hey there Chris25,
thoughts on Josh Battle as a player?

Yeah I'm pretty sure they play this Friday, against werribee at the G before pies tigers, and the against Geelong at Simmonds on I think the 9th.

SEN1116 did a bit on him in the preseason. He will tear through it for our VFL team
Josh Battle (VIC – KPF)
Height: 194cm
Weight: 89kg
Range: First Round
Comparison: Josh J Kennedy/ Witts
Profile: Aggressive in the air with hands to match, Battle is a mobile athletic key forward. Desperate at ground level, he stays in the contest even in the event that he spills a mark. Will be a big improver as the year goes on a spike towards the pointy end of the draft.

Nice, answer my question with my own thoughts on the player. Just what I was after.
Comprehensive as always Chris25. Thanks for the read
From last years draft so I understand if your not very forthcoming on it but how do you think Matthew Allen will track in the AFL and do you think long term he will be a forward or a larger bodied midfielder. Personally I'm excited by him and already was excited pre the 2015 draft as a later pick at West Coast.

It would certainly be possible. The fact that he will be one of Vic Metro's best players could either help or hurt him. He should stand out at the Championships, but also might not have the help that he'll need. Even last week in the TAC Cup, he 'only' had 18 touches - but 17 were effective. He rarely wastes a disposal.
Probably the early front runner as the top key forward. Reminds me a little of Jeremy McGovern, big strong guy but reasonably mobile and a very good mark. Early signs are good, we'll see how he goes on this year. Kicking wasn't too flash on the weekend, but I think that's the anomaly rather than the norm.

Chris25, is there the standout key defender that's a guaranteed top 10 in the draft with Clarke and Merrett likely to be retired I think the Lions will be thinking defensively this year

Hi Chris25, was wondering the same thing

Hopefully we draft Hugh McCluggage just because I like saying his name. Hugh McCluggage.
Did you say it as you wrote it?
Pretty accurate
Byrne maybe a touch later .
Max lynch is a bushrangers ruck/ forward who you may nominate but certainly will be looked at by other clubs
Perryman will be a good shot to make the allies team also off half back
Highmore may also be a shot if he reproduces his neafl form last year where he was top 3 B and F as a 17 yr old
Todd Marshall from the Bushrangers is another I think can have a real crack at the draft. Look a bit like Harry McKay last year.
He looks the goods for next year's draft.
Toby Wooller is another who has impressed early. All but lock an AIS spot next year.
Young Ben Caluzzi is another one for next year's draft. Known the kid since he was about 6. Him and Rayner freaked it in the Under 18.5s EDFL Grand Final last year. Then again a lot of the Under 16s that were bumped up for it outshone all the 17-18 year olds.
Big Caluzzi. Massive boy. Needs opportunity at the cannons.
