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 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

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.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9.
