Hell, I'm taking this quite seriously.

Maybe our approach is Naitanui at 1 and two tall forward prospects at 17 & 19?

Also willing to accept that this is Harvey throwing his own spanner in the works.

I bloody hope so.

 

I urge everyone to have a punt at BigFooty's draft competition and put Nik Nat at #1, not because Harvey's right or anything, but if he is, it takes out about 95% of the entries already.

Harvey inherited a team that should have finishd in the 8 last year . ( Not only my opinion . but the opinion of plenty of people in the know . )

He is a very ordinary coach , coaching what is this year a very ordinary , vastly depleted list . He is grasping at straws and trying to upset the thinking of people . Take no notice of him . I believe we will finish above his pathetic rabble in 2009 anyway .


Could be a bit of [censored] for our tat in showing Warnock around. I wouldn't be gutted if we took NikNat but I'm very much in the Watts camp. I don't think you draft with the go-home factor in mind, but from the outside NikNat seems like a very good-natured, family-oriented kid and thus a strong go-home risk.

BS

“That’s not a direct conversation that I’ve had with Melbourne but that’s what we hear at the moment.”

Harvey making that claim holds about as much weight as YM posting it.

This is the same man who looked like a rabbit in the headlights on 'The Couch'. Who couldn't state what Fremantle stood for, and who tried to deflect blame for the mature aged players Freo took in recent drafts on Chris Connolly, who had well and truly moved on before Mark Johnson was drafted. His hard line and thought processes worked wonderfully well in the trade period. Where is that first round pick for warnock again??.........."Josh Carr is a leader of our football club, we need compensation" Ha, ha, ha freo screwed again.

Harvey is possibly the most competent assistant coach of the last ten years, and the most incompetent senior coach for the same period.

This guy tries everything to deflect responsibility and attention from himself and his club, who don't have a terrific track record come draft time, and indeed the trade period.

 

Disgraceful article, Harvey was misquoted which completely changed the meaning of his statement. What he said was something like, "It's not that Melbourne has gone cold on watts, it's just I hear they're impressed with Naitanui."

Basically it's a 'nothing to see here, move along' type situation.

I have been saying ever since that interview that he will not see out 2009. Really who cares what he thinks or that joke club from WA think. Really they are a perfect match. On the flip side I could not be happier about how bailey held himself thus far


guys we are taking Watts.

Couldn't have put it any better.

I was looking forward to eating my words...... but it looks like i might have been spot on!!!

Yep, nup, your all right. Feeling a little exposed yesterday afternoon. Harvey is a twang.

Watts to the Dees @ 1, just as I've believed all along.


Here's the real quote:

"I wouldn’t say Melbourne has gone cold on Watts but the Naitanui factor has been growing on them."

I guess the bigger story is that, in the Age today it's reported that Freo is now set on taking Hill at 3 (assuming Watts and Naitanui are gone), leaving Rich to slip out to pick 4-6.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
