What the club says
"We're pleased because we rated ChristianSalem who has got some elite ability and will add to our midfield mix.Jay Kennedy Harris fulfils a need for us with speed and endurance, hehas really good character and is a nice kid. On that alone we are raptto get him into our footy club. Jayden Hunt came through school footy[at Brighton Grammar] with Josh Kelly and Salem and was right up withthem as a player when he was much younger early but they grew and hedidn't and he dropped off until he grew again. He did some eye-catchingthings in school games this year. - Jason Taylor,  Melbourne's NationalRecruiting Manager

Pick 9 – Christian Salem 
"Hewill add a different mix to our midfield and he does have an ability toplay forward, and we think back as well. He adds some class and someaggression" Jason Taylor

Pick 40 – Jay Kennedy Harris 
"We'rerapt to get him at 40. We haven't really got his type of player [who isa small forward]. He not only brings speed and endurance, he's got areal appetite to run and tackle." Jason Taylor

Pick 57 – Jayden Hunt 
"Heplayed some reasonable school footy for Brighton Grammar and did someeye-catching things and then again in the 'Young Guns game' [arepresentative game for draft hopefuls]. He is speculative but we didsome research and we think there is enough there. He is genuinely quick,and could be a running half-back or winger. He hasn't been as exposedto footy as the likes of the Christian Salem and Josh Kelly, so he willtake time but he will be supported."
