I desperately want Sibosado.

He looks and moves similar to Buddy.

He is a very good pack mark, great long booming kick, has great awareness, can kick a bag of goals and just seems to have forever when he has the ball.

He would greatly complement Watts.

He is a tall KPP indiginous player who has talent, X-factor and magic written all over him.

We really need to draft another tall KPP forward in this draft.

Barry, please get him.

What ever happened to Dappa Dan? His last login was a couple of days after his last post, in October 2012. Always seems alarming to me when regular posters go idle like that very suddenly. He used

What I really want is people to read other threads before posting a new thread about a player who others have already been talking about all morning!!!

Sorry just saw similar thread.

The only query on him that i have heard is his endurance and workrate.

He didn't complete the beep test or the 3km time trial at the draft camp.

Strikes me as a lazy footballer with enormous talent.....

If the talent far out-weighed the attitude he would already be wearing a clubs colours after this morning....

Big ???????? if you ask me....

Everyone we get in the PSD, if not mature age, will be a risk.

We went safe with every pick... all midfielders, small forwards and backmen...

Sibosado would probably be VERY speculative, but at least there's upside.

I totally agree.... I am not saying that I don't want him at the club..... I think he has enormous potential....

I just think there is obviously reasons why he would not have been picked up in todays draft... I realise we went safe with every pick, and I am stoked with our selections.... But from the footage I have seen and the obvious similarity between Sibosado and Franklin, I am still shocked as to why he was not snapped up.... Even late???

Thought I was watching Buddy. There must be something wrong with him as he can clearly play. If he is not a drug addict or a murderer I would be having a very good look at him. Could see him as a future marquee player in the Nik Nat mould.

at the end of the day, he was overlooked 87 times (or however picks there are) at todays national draft.

Exactly. Which means he has big personal issues, because bloody hell he looks like Buddy.

For a club not to take a punt with a 6th round pick on someone who can clearly move and play, is a real worry.

So yes, look at him, but talent is not the one factor and if he has issues where he'll go missing after a week of training, or he has issues with substance abuse, or he has a court case hanging over his head, etc etc... than what's the point?

Cousins is a proven quantity and didn't get a second chance, although he can clearly play and will help any club looking to win a flag in the next couple of seasons (you know you're in trouble when Leigh Brown gets a second chance and you don't! :D). That's how scared AFL clubs are to touch anyone with any personal issues.

The PSD is for the low risk - high reward types and looking at that footage - that is exactly what he is.

I definitely think we should go tall in the PSD and this bloke looks as good as any other at this stage.

And for those that say 'every club overlooked him' I say Stef Martin isn't a bad FB prospect...

Yeah, i think he's worth a punt.

I agree that every club has overlooked him in 7 rounds of the national draft AND that they did that for a very good reason.

I don't know what that reason is any more than anyone else on here.

But in the PSD its worth taking a gamble on a kid that cold very well buck the trend once he gets in the system & thrive.

Drafting is about calculated risk & obviously the risk was too high for a ND pick.

Gaining another month to have a look at him & other players while you still get first pick of the bunch is one reason to not take him at the tail end of the ND.

Just because he has perceived issues doesn't mean he should be tarred with a "won't ever make it" brush.

Stranger things have happened.

He didn't get picked up so he's a drug addict or has "big personal issues" :blink:

You lot should be ashamed of yourselves, and probably sued for defamation :angry:

According to someone on bigfooty he tested very well in the psyche tests at draft camp, one of the best this year apparently. The big question mark is that he apparently goes missing for long periods. People seemed to rate him anywhere from top 25, Emma Q included, to a rookie pick up.

Hopefully he'll fall in between that in the PSD, preferably pick 1 :lol: It'll be interesting to see who we invite to train with us

I was actually thinking along the possible lines of poor work ethic, poor skill in a particular area, inconsistency, lack of focus, degenerative medical condition, poor attitude to authority.. something like that.

I never considered drugs. I'd think (hope) a kid hoping to be drafted would not be that stupid.

In fact, I think anyone who'd consider it at that stage wouldn't have the dedication to being drafted required to even be in contention.

Wona got ovelooked 90 times as well at last years draft.....Maybe clubs thought WONA didn't have the right attitude re his fitness.....mabe this guy is in the same mould.....

He has the talent (just like Wona)....There is no doubt he will be picked up in the PSD or rookied by a club for sure...The Dees should.

My sentiments exactly. The PSD is for taking a punt that has the potential to pay off big.

Just like last year when we took a big fella that'd only played 2 seasons of footy.

How is that this guy didn't get picked up. From all reports he's Buddy like and after watching the video I'd have to agree. I'll be very happy to add him to our rapidly improving list. Is it just me or did we just "Draft the draft down"

Hang on guys. If as Bailey said we are only going to draft youth, then whoever we take in the PSD will have been overlooked 87 times. So what. Does that mean we don't take anyone because they were all overlooked?

Just to take it one more stupid step, why draft someone in the 6th round if they were overlooked in the 5 previous rounds.

Haha. Thats it. Davey, Cox & Hird suck. Clearly Jack Watts is the best player in the comp at the moment.

All this personal issues talk has done is expose the bigots.

Take a punt on someone from left field, thats what the PSD is for.

I never considered drugs. I'd think (hope) a kid hoping to be drafted would not be that stupid.

In fact, I think anyone who'd consider it at that stage wouldn't have the dedication to being drafted required to even be in contention.

FYI - Draftees are teenagers. Teenage kids experiment with drugs (& alcohol (for those that need to distinguish between the two to justify their own lifestyle ;))) . It doesn't mean they're stupid or lack dedication, it means they're teenagers. All the best to them.

I have no issues with taking him in the PSD, none whatsoever.

But it does seem very very strange that so many clubs passed on him given that he is clearly a very good player. I don't think that you'd pass on a player in the 5th or 6th round just because they 'go missing' sometimes, or they haven't got the right endurance or even if the desire is questionable, because chances are anyone you get with those late picks is going to have problems and downsides, otherwise they'd be top 20 picks.

So for all 16 clubs to choose not to draft him, not even late in the draft, to me seems very suspicious. Maybe I'm wrong and the recruiters just forgot about him, but given he was rated top 25 by some it doesn't seem likely that he just slipped under the radar, in the way that say Martin or Aussie did.

Just curious to know why he is where he is given that his football ability is fairly impressive.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
