Not real happy with this so many other options out there

    He has a fantastic last name

    It's great to have him at the club as possibly the biggest slider in the draft, but I can't help thinking about the players we've missed out on here.

  • Quote

    Is he the one who completes our Jack Attack?

    Fitzpatrick in the ruck, taps to Grimes, clean feed to Trengove on the wing who hits Watts lace out...

    surprising to take another ruckman... his profile says he can play both ends of the ground... perhaps looking at him as a key forward?

    Haha Jaded, we'd go well at the pub I reckon. Me and a mate just had a yelling match over Patrick/Grimes...you can guess which side I was on.

  • Quote
    Grimes could be a rookie chance?

    Nah, we're committed to taking Newton and Meesen, and have no more space on the list.

    That is unless somebody takes Meesen...

    sad would have loved either of the relations not a big wrap for Fitzpatrick

    What happens if we pass round one rookie draft but then someone picks up Newton or Meesen?

    My guess is that we'd have to pay out the final year of both their contracts and we have two vacancies on our rookie list. (you can't use any more picks after you've passed - rookie upgrades in the ND aside) GC have the first five rookie selections then we have pick 6. If GC take one of them then it free's up a selection, but we're basically obligated to use our picks on Juice and Mees if they're still available.

    Don't like Fitzpatrick at 50 at all. Dees take a risk with this pick, and I think we used up all our good karma last year netting Jurrah.

    Maybe he will turn out to be a gun, at pick 50 who knows.

    ...or takes out Meeson ;)

    Anyone here knows anyone at the C clubs?

    This is the one guy that comes into the club with low expectations and pressure. If he can keep his CFS under control, and develop his game then the sky is his limit for him. Touted as a ruckman I get the feeling that he will be used as a ruck/forward type player, in a similar mold as Kreuzer. Gawn is the man they want to take over in the middle.

    Like many I was sus on this pick, but wish him the best at the MFC. Maybe he will be talked about as the big pick out of 2009 in years to come.

    I would conisder him more of a natural KPP defender than a ruckman or forward, I have only seen him a couple of times but he hasn't been used much in the ruck that I saw. He is good value at this pick and he is definatly the project player of this draft for us, I don't see him contributing in the short term and I think he needs a lot of work on a lot of his game but he has all the right athletic attributes to make it.

    How do you know all this gear?

    He's definitely a player that needs a lot of work, but he has a whole lot of attributes that you just can't teach. When you get late in the draft you need to take more of a punt because every club has already cast judgement over the obvious players by then. Either that, or a specific role player when you're getting closer to a flag.

    He's quick, he's agile, he can take a mark and he's 200cm tall. He's exactly the sort of punt you should be taking late in the draft. But he'll need plenty of time so we'll have to be patient with him.

    As AoB alluded to, this kid needs to be moulded and re-moulded. Everyone, be very patient with this one.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • 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.
