Pick 1. Tom Scully VIC

Pick 2. Jackson Trengove SA

Pick 18. Luke Tapscott SA

Trengove and Tapscott are best buddies! Tapscott is a solid bodied medium forward (178cm but still growing). Craves to play midfield too I have read.

That would give us 3 players who could pretty much play Round 1. Other picks to be used on KP I would hope. And possibly lure an uncontracted ready made KP from another club with pre season Pick 1.

    FF Tapscott Garland LJ

    R Jamar or Spencer, Trengove, Jones

    Int Jetta, Moloney, Petterd, Martin

    Something like that!

    I cant really think at the moment and have probably missed some others who could have been included.

    would love to have Tapscott.. but it is VERY unlikely he would drop to pick 18! I am pretty sure he will be a top 10 pick! :(

    After reading this it really sounds like Morton is in it for the long run.

    Good boy, Morty. But he's still just saying what the players are naturally going too. I want his contract negoiations cleared up.

    Going by the versatility thing Bailey has going Trengove could be our man. IF Trengove as ive read somewere is a strong overhead mark and kick for goal we may not need a Butcher type stay at home forward.

    We could develop a very versatile mobile forward line. Sylvia, Trengove, Davey, Petterd, Wona and Maric, can all play Midfield/roaming forward roles. Jurrah in what little game time he has had has shown he could run all over the ground. Watts, Morton and Martin could all provide tall mobile targets capable of pushing up the ground.

    We could make it very difficult for the bigger full backs to find a match up against us. Whoever the traditional stay at home full back goes to just pushes further down the ground taking him out of his comfort zone. Meanwhile another forward can push deep taking his opponent deep and also out of his comfort zone.

    Basically through rotating our forwards we can reshuffle their backline to the match ups that we want deep and run the bigger backs off there legs.

    Well said, IMT. It's been said before, but very exciting times ahead.

    Here is but a glimpse of the genius that is Tom Scully. Completely awestruck every time I view this clip. 0.52 brilliant kick on natural left. 1.48 look at that technique on his non preferred. And 3.59 just brilliant play.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
