no tom rockliff?

Nah, I really hope that no-one picks him with their P.S.D pick... so we can then rookie him.

Imagine:

Watts, Sibosado, Rockliff... all getting picked up with our picks this season. We then have what could be POTENTIALLY a formidable forward line in 3-4yrs time. Throw Butcher into that forward-line next season and we could create a dynasty.

WE CAN ONLY DREAM.

1 Melbourne Casey Sibosado (NT Thunder)

2 Port Adelaide Josh Carr (Fremantle)

3 Essendon Matt De Boer (Claremont WA)

4 Carlton Chris Johnson (Melbourne)

5 Brisbane Nick Davis (Sydney)

6 Richmond Kade Klemke (Murray U18)

Given some of those picks are likely we are in the position of possibly getting the next two boys we want with 1st pick in both remaining drafts. I wonder if we are likely to invite our possibles down to have a close look at them or maybe keep our cards close to our chest and watch them at other clubs.

You'd imagine that BP would have seen enough of the kids to have based an opinion on who's the best available. It makes sense to nominate our pick in the PSD asap, and get them down to training.

Don't think you have to nominate a boy for him to train. That only applies to delisted players. We could invite several boys down who have not been on a list before to get a feel for them if we wanted to.

Can we nominate a non-delisted player as our PSD pick prior to the actual draft? As you say, it has been done with delisted players.

Nick Davis looks like he'll continue to keep moving North until every footy club on the entire eastern seaboard exhausts patience with him.

I wouldn't have thought Voss would touch Davis with a goal post. You'd have to think that once he hits his straps Voss will run a pretty tight ship, and there'd be no room for inexplicably arrogant vermin like Nick Davis.

As I've mentioned on here before, Voss & Davis are/were close mates.

Vossy was arrogant too, but in the good way.

Would be good for us as more youngsters to pick from in Rookie selection.

Ah ok. Surprises me I'll admit- they seem like they're from different worlds.

Not saying theres anything wrong with a bit of arrogance when you have something to crow about... Nick Davis doesn't.

What about kicking the Swans into a grand final off his own boot and playing in a premiership with them?

I know a lot of people who could crow about that.

That's why it worked for Vossy, but not Davis.

Although he's had his moments.

I know every man and his dog are demanding Casey Sibosado (because he reminds us of Buddy Franklin) for pick 1 in the PSD, but is he actually on the club's rader???

I wouldn't be surprised if he goes very late in the rookie draft.

Other than Sibosado, I really want a KPF or a ruckman. No more pacey midfielders or goal sneaks!

I agree we need to draft height in the PSD and rookie but it irks me how many people are saying that we drafted the same types of player in the draft.

None of the players we drafted are goalsneaks. Just because we have a couple of aboriginal boys doesn't mean they are goalsneaks. Jetta is a defensive midfielder or small defender and he is not particularly quick but known for his hardness and 1%ers. Bennell is a skilled, pacy half back/half forward midfielder/midfielder who is suited to a variety of roles.

Bail and Strauss are suited to roles on the half back line and they may move into the midfield and Blease is a pacy wingman.

As far as similarities go I would say only Bail and Strauss are similar in the roles they would play.

    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.
