Pick 11

I'd be inclined to say Vardy is the best option. He seems to be pretty highly rated by a lot of people and he addresses our biggest weakness. Not only is he apparently a pretty good ruck, he can play forward and do some damage. Given that at least one of the key forwards listed will probably be around at 18, he's the one i'd like to see us take at 11.

    It's a very slim chance admittedly, but I wouldn't rule Butcher out completely at 11. If Richmond take Martin or another Vic mid it could happen.

    My dream result would be to get 2 of Butcher, Talia, Carlisle, Vardy, Panos and Griffiths (in that order) with picks 11 and 18. If the club had confidence in Griffiths body I'd be unsure about whether to have him just ahead or just after Carlisle. Panos' height is a concern for me, you have to be very good to play as a kpp at 192.

    192?????

    Oh [censored]! just forget about him RIGHT NOW! Everyone on here knows how players go at 192!

    Is there any chance of him growing 1cm more?

    11 is too early for Vardy and Temel, imo.

    if you reckon 11 is too high for temel, do you reckon he will last til 18?

    I don't know enough about him, but from my limited viewing the query would be over his athleticism at AFL level. He's got legs like tree trunks on him already, but won't have the same strength advantage that he in the TAC. Carlisle was very quiet in the GF, but he has the pace, height and athleticism that's required at AFL level.

    I'm not saying that Temel won't be a quality AFL player, but there's more uncertainty about him and he'll be more limited in the role he can play. I'd be very surprised if he was picked in the top 20.

    Hannibal I could not agree more. I would have queries over how Temel would go against men or opponents his own height, his flexibility and lack of perceived endurance/athleticism. I know you can only play against the opponent given but I would not touch him with any of our first four picks. Carlisle was quiet but there were things he did which really grabbed my attention. Would not take him at 11 but has potential at 18.

    Hey all,

    For those who have their hearts set on Talia at Pick #11 - I'd be making other plans.

    The reason Carlton gave up Pick #11 was because that they identified Talia will be gone (either to the Hawks, Power or Bombers) before selection #11, and they weren't prepared to overall for Griffiths (who looks set to miss the majority of 2010 already).

    Serhat Temel will be a 3rd/4th Round/Rookie selection.

    Good mark, good kick, good size ... but they are outweighed by: lack of speed off the mark, no footy brain.

    Serhat needs to learn when to lead properly and that you cannot just sit in the goal square and call for the ball when your team mate has it on the wing.

    Seems a decent prospect though.

    Guys, I was all over picking up Morabito at number 2 and was content with the idea of picking up Trengove but now that we have pick 11 does that force us to pick up Butcher at 2? Butcher regarded by many as easily the best key forward and picking up a player that is in Butchers shadow simply because we need a key forward seems a waste of a high pick when we could pick up a gun in Luke Tapscott for example.

    1. Scully

    2. Butcher

    11. Tapscott

    OR

    1. Scully

    2. Trengove/Morabito

    11. Carlisle/Talia

    ???

    i could be wrong.. but you would think Port will pick up Tapscott with their pick.. and if they do trade shaun burgoyne to hawks for their 1st round pick.. then there will probably be 0 chance of him being around at pick 11

  • Quote

    If port get hawks pic 9 you'd think they'd take the two Adelaide boys in tapscott and panos.

    IMO carlisle is not worth pic 11, and if port do take panos and someone does go with talia and butch ealier it would be a great chance a decent mid could slide.

    No to Butcher at 2. Just because we have the extra pick does not improve Butchers kicking and make him less of a risk as an early key forward pick. take him with 11 if there but 2 is too early based on what I know.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      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.
