IMO we need clearance players more than we need yet another speculative tall to clog up the list, and the club clearly agrees given they passed on quite a few talls on draft day.

We have plenty of talls in development, but only one quality inside-mid in McLean. Additionally, the likelihood of finding a decent tall in the PSD are slim, but there could be a ball winning machine hiding in there just waiting for a chance.

Well if its an inside mid we need then cousins is the answer, but i'm not going to [censored] that horse again!!!

(Mclean, Maloney, Jones, Valenti?) Hard ball winners is not the issue from where I was sitting last year it was finishing that hurt us last year and I think the club to a step in the right direction on SAT to solve this. Therefore a KPF

I think we took a great mix in the draft and must take a bit of a punt on CS in the PSD. The Risk could be well worth it!

not a chance in hell. he cant kick. as you should be able to tell by the players we drafted this year, we simply dont want anyone that cant kick

Well said.

With Craig Cameron drafting too many players with kicking deficiencies, its great how Bailey understands in the modern game you cant win flag with players with poor foot skills.

De Boer is a no goer.

If Deboer could get his kicking in order he would be a very very good player.

I still want Sibasado but would not be unhappy to pick up young Matthew.

It is my opinion that any AFL coaching staff that can't help a kids kicking needs to find another job.

thats what a club hires biomechanics experts for... & they still didn't do too much for MFC last year

one boy i think we should look into for a rookie pick is a boy called alex carter. he has a great kick. great hands and is a very good runner. also has a real sense of grit and courage about him. i know we have picked up a couple of these players but imo, he is worth a punt with a rookie pick

If we were interested in Sibosado, why wouldn't we have taken him in the draft?

If anyone else was interested, why wouldn't they have jumped in after we passed?

I don't think anyone is that interested. Could it be he is no good? Other issues?

DeBoer or Hughes for me.

Those exact same points could be made for every single player that will be taken in he preseason & rookie drafts (that were eligible for the ND)

Your points prove nothing.

rockliff looks ok, but is similar to a few others we already have on the list.

Sibosado could be anything or could be nothing, so for mine the risk is still worth going for Sibosado as all players left have been overlooked for one reason or another at this point.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    After two disappointing back to back losses the Demons have the bye in Round 14 and then face perennial cellar dweller North Melbourne at the MCG on Saturday night in Round 15. Who comes in and who goes out?
