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!!!!!!!

;)

did you not see the players we took in the national draft, clearly we are only picking up players that can kick.

 
it will be De Boer!

"We want Simpkin or Sibosado....... FACT!

and nowadays it costs money to have someone train with you..... as we are strapped you might find that we dont have anyone train with us but we will go the cheap option and watch players like (i hope Simpkin and sibosado) from over the fence at other clubs......

maybe not though.... we will see.....

oh and gugliotta not hard enough at the contest"

And we will get natanui

and davey is going to port

etc etc

If there is a bookie out there that will take a bet on Deboer not going to melb in the PSD get on it people :lol:

 
it will be De Boer!

just like Naitanui will be a demon..care to explain that one goose?

Fair enough, & you'll get my praise ... but i think there's better chance of us picking up Brent Grgic

 

the law of averages suggests that one of these days you will get one right, then maybe not.

FWIW deboer may be rookied by someone, maybe even us, i don't think he will be picked up in the PSD.


Natanui i was wrong about but it was alot closer than you think.....

I put my hand up and say i was wrong with that and happy to except all the flak i get!

no different with my tip on De Boer

He cant kick you Goose.

Bailey doesn't want anymore of these types and nor do I.

thanks twist!!!

i know he cant kick mate.....!!! im not saying i like him.....

i'll give goose some credit for admitting he was wrong about Naitanui, however whether we were 'close' or not to picking him is irrelevant as you said that he was a 'certainty'. oh well, better luck next time

Gone Cold on De Boer but not totally freezing..... i hope im wrong!

A TWO-TIME state representative for WA at under-18 level; an All-Australian in 2008; invited to the NAB AFL draft camp; rated among the top 30 prospects by junior talent guru Kevin Sheehan; senior experience at WAFL level … and still overlooked in last month’s national draft.

Star youngster Matt DeBoer ticked all the boxes one could hope to leading into the NAB AFL Draft in November.

His state coach, Andrew Lockyer, and club coach at Claremont, Roger Kerr, agree the 18-year-old is a ripper.

Perhaps the only doubt on DeBoer is his kicking, although selectors at this year’s NAB AFL U18 Championships didn’t think that was too shabby when naming him in the centre of this year’s All-Australian line-up.

But draft day brought only disappointment for the University of Western Australia student.

Kerr, the father of West Coast star Daniel, said DeBoer was shattered at having been overlooked on November 29.

Kerr believed the young midfielder had been contacted by Fremantle and Melbourne since the national draft in regards to possible rookie positions. But he has continued to train with Claremont and must again wait anxiously next Tuesday to see if he will earn a chance at AFL level. Kerr certainly believes DeBoer is worthy of one.

“He’s been a regular in our league side and an All-Australian in the under-18s … and he was averaging about 20 touches a game for us and doing fairly well when he was at senior level,” Kerr said.

“His kicking’s maybe the only knock on him because it’s maybe a bit of an awkward style, but he can certainly pick the ball up and [he ticks] every other box.

“He gets a lot of the footy.”

DeBoer’s absence from an AFL list at the conclusion of draft day emphasised the strength of this year’s talent pool.

Lockyer, who coached him in the 2008 national championships, was shocked when the name DeBoer was not called out on draft day.

DeBoer also enjoyed a superb 2007 but didn’t nominate for the national draft then, which may have cost him on November 29.

“Last year, the way he played as a 17-year-old, he would have been [a] top-20 [pick],” Lockyer said.

“I look at some of the kids that were taken in the draft [this year] and I think Matty’s definitely up there with them.

“He’s a smasher of a kid and he works hard at his game. I reckon he’d be worth a go at one of the clubs and I think the kid deserves an opportunity.”


Pretty good Alpha, I'll throw the spanner in the works, watch this space.

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 Ben Cousins (Southbank, Yarra River)

I'm changing my selections...... Note that I selected Ben Cousins at pick 6 .. ;)

1 Melbourne - Rockcliff or De Boer

2 Port Adelaide - Josh Carr (Fremantle)

3 Essendon - De Boer if Rockliff is selected by Melbourne.

4 Carlton - Chris Johnson (Melbourne)

5 Brisbane - Adem Yze (Melbourne)

6 Richmond - Ben Cousins (Southbank, Yarra River :D )

If De Boer is the best available player....we'll take him. Been tossing up on Rockliff and De Boer.

What's your thinking on Brisbane taking Yze?

I think his foot skills would be an asset to them, but at 31, it's very unlikely.

Still, how great would it be to see Johnno and Yze running around in the same side??

Would be happy to take a punt on De Boer. We could then rookie one of Rockliff or Sibosado as well.

 

1 Melbourne - ????

2 Port Adelaide - Carr

3 Essendon - Skipworth

4 Carlton - Johnson

5 Brisbane - ????

6 Richmond -Klemke

7 Richmond - Cousins

Yze is gone, and Skipworth will be taken by the Dons.

My thinking is if Brisbane were looking at a similarly aged Nick Davis, they would be prepared to look at Yze. Voss has said recently they don't know who they will pick up in the PSD. They know. And Yze threw his hat into the ring saying he still has something to offer at a most opportune time...why? He might be thrown a lifeline by Brissy. But...I could be wrong.

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
