Demons narrow list of potential draft selections to four
Four names remain on Melbourne's radar for its first two picks
MELBOURNE has narrowed down its list of potential draft selections to four, with Christian Petracca, Angus Brayshaw, Patrick McCartin and Peter Wright all in the mix to wind up at the Demons in November's NAB AFL Draft.
The Demons head to the draft on November 27 in a strong position, holding picks No.2 and No.3 in the first round.
St Kilda is expected to crown Petracca as the No.1 pick, leaving inside midfielder Brayshaw and tall forwards McCartin and Wright as the likely next three picks.
The emerging young forward, who is yet to play an AFL game, is on track to resume pre-season on time having shaken off the effects of a niggling back injury.
"From all reports, he's been training well in the off-season and we're looking forward to him turning up on day one ready to go," Mahoney said.
"He was at the club this morning and he's looking good
"He's been doing all his running and it's looking positive at this stage."
Hogan, 19, re-signed with the Demons, earlier this season, until the end of 2017.
