Mick Turner, Geelong Falcons coach was on KB's show on SEN this morning talking about G. Ablett.

Dr Turf asked him about Tom Scully. He said that he was a top player and very good in the 1st qtr last Saturday

until he was injured. Went on to rave about two of his kids namely Ben Cunnington and Gary Rohan. Said Cunnington was the toughest kid he's coached and Rohan the most exciting.

He has spoken to the dees about them and hoped that they would be picked by the one club i. e the dees as they have picks 1 & 2.

Some mixed comments on these two Big footy with many posters rating Dustin Martin the Rolls Royce player of the Draft.

Wouldn't be at all surprised if we pick to Victorians as 1 & 2. Probably Scully and one of Cunnington, Martin or Rohan.

    Without trying to sound like an arrogant know it all:

    Mick Turner says a lot of things and all must be taken with a grain of salt. I don't know him personally but know a few people who do. He loves pumping up the tyres of his boys. That being said they will both potentially be very good footballers.

    We will definitely take Morabito or Trengove with pick 2. I have it on very good authority that this is the case unless there is a large about turn done prior to November.

    And this should be in the Jordan McMahon thread mate.

    Cheers

    After having another look at Trengove it would be hard to go past him. The only worry (no matter how small) is the go home factor. The Dees might just pick the next best Victorian if there is not much between them.

    I now have a lot more faith in the recruiting dept. If it's Scully + Trengove/Morabito that would be great.

    Just thought you would be interested in the SEN interview. It certainly shows that the dees are doing there due diligence on many players.

    The success of the draft to me will be the picking up a couple of gems in the 2nd, 3rd and possibly 4th rounds.

    I heard the interview too. He said Melbourne had spoken to both boys, but it did seem a pump up of his own players to me. He was quick to dismiss Scully and get on to talking about his own boys.

    Good coach Mick Turner but his boys are great because Mick Turner coaches them :rolleyes:

    Yep, I agree.

    IMO there are some very good development players that will go in the 30's & 40's. - Dylan Grimes, James Craig, Travis Colyer, etc..

    Dylan Grimes will be lucky to go rookie draft. He's not that good, if gets picked up will be purely because of his brother.

    I really hate reading so many Bigfooty posts on Demonland.

    Dylan Grimes has had an exceptional year for the Northern Knights and looks to have enormous talent. I have seen him play at least 10 times this year and its my belief that he will make an exceptional KPB in the AFL system.

    If Melbourne's backline wasn't so promising I would hope our recruiting staff would be considering drafting him.

    He will go 30-40 in the national draft IMO.

    IMHO ... I like what your saying and cant disagree with you.

    However, is there any chance a few clubs might just over-look him ... if he interviewed badly ... ;)

    Do you know if he has any acting ability ... was thinking like on crutches or in moon boots ... :lol: :lol:

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
