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:

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
