North are gutted at losing him. Plenty at the club have tried to convince him to stay. He's been a required player, which is why he wasn't traded last week. They didn't offer him a contract that was designed to make him walk.

Obviously his body is a massive concern, which would see many clubs steer clear of him, but he's a fantastic footballer. Just a natural talent.

And Rhino, if Freak says he's "overrated", what does that tell you ?

I don't see a reason why you can't take a risk in Smith in the later stages of the ND (Picks #30+), and this would allow Melbourne to pick up Ball in the PSD.

It's very rare that you will strike something of value in this years draft after Pick #30 (unless you take a punt on an experienced known quantity).

Just because you read an Emma Quayle article it therefore is set in stone.

Critchon,Kennedy,Hartigan,McMillan-Pittard,Grimes,Carey,Temel,Geary,Dare,AhChee and Fyfe can all play and most will be available past pick 30.

I trust Prendergast and co to trust their judgement and make the correct decisions.

Oh yes .. I get all my info from Emma Quayle :rolleyes:

Please don't let the other hundreds of thousands who read the articles also that I forge all my opinions based on the Gospel that is Emma.

You rattle off names like Temel, Dare, Crichton, Ah Chee and Hartigan like clubs will be falling over themselves to pick them up.

Smith is more talented than all of them - take that to the bank.

Optimist much?

If not Ball then Joel McDonald please.

I don't want anyone that makes Miller look good. Surprisingly it looks like Smith may go to Geelong. Well done Pickering the most biased manager in the AFL. If not Ball then we shouldn't use pick 1 in the PSD.

Yeah, we should make a moral stand - "if LB won't come, then the alternative 'Joel McDonald' - if that is his real name - is so crap we are going to PASS on our PSD pick and go into the season a player short."

That'll learn him for being such a rubbish player...

Thankyou for so eloquently putting my thoughts into words...

Sometimes " :blink: " just doesn't suffice.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
