Which KPF should we draft?

9? Talia

11. Panos

18. Griffiths

34. Daw

 
With Watts and Jurrah in the forwardline, I think we need a BIG body to take some attention off then.

Miller could fill this positionwhich would free up Watts who could play a roaming CHF with Jurrah being the 3rd tall, freeing him up aswell.

The big body doesn't need to be a star (as Mr. Morton alluded to Mooney), but I think it would be handy if they could kick a little better than Miller.

I think we draft one KPF with a big body and if a trade possibility arises in the next two years, we jump on it.

This sums up my thoughts almost to the letter. We just need a big body like Miller/PJ/Jamar up forward to take the oppositions best defender and allow Watts and Jurrah a little more freedom to develop their game. Will stand them in pretty good stead for the future.

I think only one of our high picks (probably 18) should be on a KPF and I'm leaning towards Black or Temel.

I highly doubt Daw will be taken in the national draft, let alone the third round.

so who's happy with what we drafted now

Sully & Trengove, without a doubt.

Gysberts, Tapscott, Fitzpatrick, Gawn have yet to see in action

Happy with 33% of our picks so far :)

And im sure Gysberts & Fitzpatrick will be a good player with the Demons, he will get a chance this season, I assume late into it, when the young kids start getting tired.

Do not know how Gawn is going with injury and Tapscott is out for the season... Although I am looking forward to Tapscott 180cm & 87kg, big boy and will only get bigger. picture that on the G.

from all things that i've heard, i cant wait to see max gawn get out and play a few games. a long time off just yet though

I For one was/am a Majak Daw fan, Happy with Scully and Trengove (goes without saying), Don't know much about Gysberts but from all reports has the ability to make a good AFL player, I was wrapped to get Tapscott at 18 and can't wait too see him in action, Gawn again don't know much about but we need rucks lets hope, Fitzpatrick i watched during the under 18's carnival as he was rated as a potential top 30 pick IMO was average at best he is on our list so i will support him but i was hoping we called out Majak Daws name at pick 50 this kid will be a gem!

When did we ever have pick 9??

Some people were convinced we'd trade Jamar or Rivers to Port.

You know, cos they're originally from SA.

Ok cheers i remember now!


Good bump.

Choosing 4 talls in one draft looks stupid from here... lol - Talia, Panos, Griffiths and Daw? Mad. Anyway, why have all them when you can have the man-mountain himself, Maxy GAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWNNNNN

Or you could have taken Panos in the rookie draft?

Or Serhat Temel (snigger) with the last pick in that draft..?

You could even get him this year if you thought he was worth it.

The first line of the OP takes the cake - isn't that a contradiction in terms?!

I know that everyone has to start somewhere but I can't help wondering about Panos who was an All Australian KPF at last year's under 18 carnival and even touted a top 10 pick at one stage. His name bobbed up this week as a goalkicker in the VFL reserves. Meantime, the likes of Butcher, Griffiths and Fitzpatrick aren't even playing ATM. It shows how risky it is to use early picks on prospective tall forwards and suggests that you have to be both fortunate and patient when selecting some of them.

I think it's fair to say that Panos bad more bulk at a younger age and he was good with his body work.

His skills, reading of he play, marking, engine, athleticism were all good, but not exceptional.

Recruiters expect draftees to fill out over time and learn the game from the coaches.

They draft based on things you can't teach, like exceptional athleticism, ferrari engine, freakish skills, strong pack marking in spite of slight frame, etc.

Things that will translate to AFL level and possibly allow the player to be elite.

Panos was/is a Jack of all trades.

Could still come out and prove a lot of people wrong.

Good example of patience regarding early picks and how risky it can be : Scott Gumbleton ; Jack Watts.

And if it all works out - fortunate.

whats Fitzpatrick look like as a footballer, im from a country town so do get to have a look at training or anything.

extremely ordinary the couple of times I have seen him. Have you ever had a kick with your mates and there is a bloke there who has pretty much never kicked a footy in his life? Yeah. OK that's over the top but at this stage he is 'tres ordinairre'

That's a bit rough.

I'd rate him as a young Ben Holland but moe mobile and potential to be quite a bit better than dutchy was.

  • 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.

    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

    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.
