Quick Observation:

If you were given picks 2 and 19 and told that you were able to secure the services of both Gary Ablett and Dane Swan (arguably the two best players in 2010) you'd say stop talking BS.

Well Deez Nutz secured them.

I have great faith in Chip.

It's not a normal draft though - you need to fill every position and you need to be mindful that you must take 1 player from each team.

I'd take 4 AA players as opposed to Ablett, Swan, Newton and Jake King (extreme example).

Yeah I know, it as an observation. Besides Deez Nutz may argue that he'd like a superior midfield. Just for argument's sake.

Maybe not - I think R16-18 could get very interesting

Yeah, was surprised when I saw ox_5 reach for Black, but at the same time, I'm not awed by the talent available at Brisbane.

I didn't consider Brown either, for the same reasons.

I guess, I see this as being like GC17 - I'm building a team to compete from Round 1 2011, but with the future in mind.

Yeah I went early, because it's the take the cream early. Those I rate above him I don't need.

Will make a handy winger if I can get who I want.

10:15 Fri 3/12 is The Master's deadline

RRR's next pick is in the can with me.

Yeah, thanks mate. It's really great when everyone maybe has forgotten about someone and you interfere.

Awesome. Bartel is still available too! Wanna point that out?

I mean, I have a list of players I'm aiming to get, maybe I should just post it on here?

Oh waah.

I doubted anyway that people had simply forgotten him. But if I was there I'd have taken him by now. Not that that matters at all.

Read a bit further.

No, but filling posters with confidence that a player they rate will be there later, means others can swoop.

Or alternetively, you could be able to manipulate the strategy of the weak-minded.

There are all sorts of little mind games to play.

You mean this?

Meh...I was merely presenting my POV. Which I know no one cares about, but if we all did what we thought people wanted, then rpfc would hardly post and this site would lose some of its lustre.

Can't believe Bartel is still there and I won't pick him!

Pick 34. The Master - Dale Thomas (Coll).

I feel dirty.

Misdirection.

I don't care if someone chooses Enright or Bartel.

I expect them to be gone anyway.

Was going for best available, I rated Ablett and Swan as obvious top 3 selections along with Sandilands. Was one pick away from getting Pavlich in the 3rd round, would have been a perfect start. A lot of the lesser known KPF's I thought would slip haven't, was also hoping for Mumford with my next pick but the 25 of E beat me to it.

Time to get tactical on this mother...

E25 selected Kreuzer, Mumford's the No. 1 ruck at my team

Sandilands..?

I consider Freo one of the relatively "full of talent" teams.

Not quite Geelong or Collingwood, but still.

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
