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: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    After a very wasteful first half of footy the Demons ended up cruising to a clinical victory over the Saints by 38 points at the MCG and ultimately reclaimed a coveted spot in the Top 4.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the Saints in Round 11 on the back of two straight losses in a row. With Jake Lever out with concussion who comes in and who goes out?
