Pre Season Phantom Draft

Featured Replies

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.

:rolleyes: Is a ball magnet. His disposal at times lets him down. Which is why he was overlooked in the ND.

In that case I hope Carlton pick him up.


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.

Its no wonder Richo has had so many coaches for his goal kicking...

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

btw, ive just recently gone off sibasado. i think we are better off taking someone else with this pick


Pick One - Shane Woewodin/Doug Hawkins

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.

Tom Rockliff 4 PSD - thanks to the highlight package posted by Wise Monkey.

I want sibosado or rockliff

but MFC like to make weird decisons and love blokes that cant kick... eg. godfrey,bell,bartram,brown etc so dont be surprised if they take De Boer!!!!!!!

;)

Well that discounts us taking Deboer then!

 

Tried to search for this news item through the threads but couldn't find anything, so I don't think it may have been posted as a news link.......so here it is, it's in relation to Nick Davis & Brisbane (The AGE - Real Footy/Fairfax) for the Pre-Season Draft. He could be finished...

LIONS DITCH DAVIS

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
