I beg the MFC to take the two best availble players and that is definetly scully and trengove, our midfield would be set for 10 - 12 years

I would prefer Morabito's X factor.

Much more upside.

Though after seeing Temel live yesterday, i think he could be a real chance for pick number 2.

He is seriously good and much better than Butcher IMO.

He is a lot more mobile than i had thought from the reports that i have read.

dude, morobito is a major risk, why gamble with our future?

trengove will definetly be a gun

Says someone that has no doubt never seen Morabito play. Morabito isn't a risk. At worst he will be a very very good AFL player and at best a star.

I probably just lean to Trengove, but would be happy with either. As it's a toss of the coin for me I'd take the SA lad, as I believe there's slightly less 'go home' factor - despite Scott Thompson. Trengove has better foot skills whilst Morabito has explosive pace and power. Morabito is also very good with his hands at clearances.

That said, I voted Scully and Morabito.

Mind you, I read an article about Morabito yesterday about how he moved out of home last year to live by himself so he was closer for footy.

And he said he'd go whereever he has to to play AFL.

Seems an independent young man already who is not too caught up in wanting to stay in his homestate.


I have nothing to add (as I have seen little of any of these kids) other than I don't want another Molan situation. Just take the best player available and develop Jurrah, Bate, and Watts. And teach Martin how to kick.

History shows that you need two marking forwards to win a flag... Dunstall/Brereton, Carey/McKernan,Lloyd/Lucas, Brown/Bradshaw/Lynch, Treadrea/Lade/ Ottens/Mooney/N Ablett/ Hawkins,Riewolt/Kositzke, Franklin/Roughead

Good big men are as rare as hen's teeth. What's Butchcher's attitude like?

I'm sorry, but Hawkins, Ottens, Mooney and N. Ablett makes that stat very ignorable.

And what of Jurrah and Watts?

If we can't develop them into players who can kick 50 goals a season with good service then what are we doing here?

And Bate kicked 27 goals and had 25 assists with awful delivery and scarce service. He will get worse as we get better?

History shows you need a quality midfield to win a flag. All those forwards you mention were serviced by a quality midfield. We have Watts and I think we need to find a servicable KPF who can play a role rather than a superstar. If 2 of Scully, Trengove, Morton, Grimes or Blease can become elite mids we will be very competitive for the next 10-12 years.

Despite what people think elite mids don't grow on trees. We haven't had one for 20+ years. Trengove is my second chioce atm because he is a goalkicker and we desperately need to find more goals from our mids.

History shows that you can win a premiership with any set up so long as you have a committed, diligent team. I notice you fail to list West Coast's 'two marking forwards' there. That's because they didn't have any.

Who cares abut his (suspect) attitiude? For pick 2 I want a forward that can kick like Jack Watts or better.

Not like Juice Newton.

I was all for picking a mid than tall forward, that was from the little information that I had about the depth of Key forward s in the draft. Over the past few weeks there seems to be a few tall forwards that sound like they can play and I'm confident we can pick one up with pick 18, so my opinion has changed to Scully and Trengove.

History shows teams with a great midfield and defence win premierships

With the key forward issue, it adds another string to morabito's bow. He has been labeled as a player who could develop into a pavlich/goodes. As a midfielder, he also adds to our team, because he is a big body around the contest and is someone that can break the lines, and with the amount of zoning in today's game, you need a player who will break up opposition zones.

I can see Bate, morton, jurrah, watts and potentially morabito all rotating between our forward/midfield, which could create a very dangerous mix for opposition in the future.

But the club should pick who they believe is best available.

Certainly not from what I've seen so far 'Dude'.

Ditto for above H.. ;)

So BA, did you start this thread just to tell us mere mortals 'how it is'?

Or did you actually want opinion and discussion??

So have you seen Mora and Trengove live.. or just Mora?

Or do you see all-from your seat there 'at the right hand of the father'? Dude..

Scully and Trengove all the way!!

not a Morabito fan at all !!


  • Author

Looks like trengove just justified 80% of the posters decision with a BOG in a prelim final in the sanfl.

Why risk our future by not taking him?????????????????

If we dont go scully+trengove....... they better have this 6foot5 monster forward theyve been hiding away down at casey that kick 70 mtrs and strait!

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
