1. WCE - Naita.

2. MELB - Rich.

3. FREO - Yarran.

18. MELB - Vickery.

In a dream world :)

Fantastic. It's started already and it's still July! :rolleyes:

Since you mentioned it, here's a bit of WAFL watch.

Daniel Rich had only 9 touches (4 kicks and 5 handballs), 1 mark and kicked a goal in Subiaco's big win at the weekend. In another game, Swan Districts had at least four major draft hopefuls in their team including Nick Naitanui whose states of 4 kicks, 9 handballs, 1 mark and 10 hit outs were nothing special. Chris Yarran had 9 kicks, 4 handballs 2 marks and a goal while Neville Jetta got 13 disposals (7 kicks) and 3 marks. The best of them statistically was Clancee Pearce with 13 kicks 10 hanballs 6 marks and 2 goals.

Time to have another look at Pearce's performance for WA in the Under 18 final match. His stocks could be rising.

Pearce was a good performer in the telstradome game who took the notice of my comrade as well as hill & walters, however I believe it's not just about how the're performing at the state carnival nor at their respective clubs, thats why we have the canberra athletic screening.

The recruiters allready know who is a footballer & who isn't naturally & needs to be taught. The blank canvass is a huge part of the equation as to which players are most likely to cope well against the cut 'n' thrust of AFL.

Naitanui = athletic prowess. Rich = football smart, - ?? Watts = athletic, good footballer, ???

There are reasons why players stand out in the crowd, but doesn't necessarily mean they'll make it.

Yes and no dazzler...

I do rate Rich, but I rate Watts and to a lesser extent Naita as well. But I hope we take Watts over him...

'dazzledavey36', I rate niknat as well but will be a project player for at least 1.5 - 2.5 years before being able to take advantage of his talents on a regular basis. That is why i've put him at 5 to the dons who allredy have a top ruckman & are rebuilding an allready 1/2 built young list. They I think are in the Ideal position for nat. They have had recent success so the pundits will be patient with a player like nat who I think won't be ready to go seniors for a little while.

So in saying all that I put him just behind the ready to go group of Rich, Hartlett, Ziebell & probably Watts, (watts may need a little while as he's bottom age but talented & probably could do with some physical work on his body to harden up.

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    PREGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    The Demons head back to Melbourne after an embarrassing loss to the Dockers to take on the Magpies at the MCG on Kings Birthday. With a calf injury to Lachie Hunter and Jacob van Rooyen possibly returning from injury who comes in and who goes out?
