Curran was far from average in the Tac Cup this year.

There were plenty of good players in the team, I grant that, but he was not anything special. I was just saying I think the name helped him, thats all.

Hey guys, haven't read through this d so not Sure if it's been mentioned but a mate at work said it was reported in the Hun that melb were not looking to draft in the preseason or rookie draft? Surely he's had his wires crossed as we still have guys training with us and room on the rookie list?

Not for inclusion on our list, but can someone please provide an update on the status of Cameron Bruce, Simon Buckley, Paul Johnson, Kyle Cheney and Addam Maric for 2012.

How about Danny Hughes?

The Hun are reporting that he is likely to be rookied by the Saints.

I don't mind the sound of this guy, if we're going for a small forward. I thought he might get picked up in the ND.

Source - Phantom Drafts on Bigfooty - I think it's Knightmare's:

Haiden Schloithe (WA - Fwd)

Height: 179cm, Weight: 72kg, DOB: 16/06/1993

Recruited from: South Fremantle Football Club

Style: Mark LeCras

Player comparison:

Range: 40-rookie

Profile: Really good user of the footy. Looks dangerous whenever he gets near it. Good reader of the play. Has that radar where he just knows exactly where the goals are. Tackling great and in combination with his speed is a major weapon in his game. Looks incredibly draftable. Has nice strength through the hits which makes him hard to tackle. Is allot quicker than I thought running a 2.80 over 20m at the state screenings and also has a nice running vertical jump which is another nice surprise. Has really impressed me and stood out in the couple of games I’ve seen of him. Can play up the field but just love what I’ve seen of him as a forward! What he needs to work on is endurance, endurance testing at the draft combine was poor and is what will see him slide but don’t let that discourage you. Can absolutely play.

this guy could be another Tom Rocklift, who was rookied by brisbane and is now one of there best mid...

Cameron Bruce and Kyle Cheney remain on Hawthorn's list as does Simon Buckley at Collingwood.

PJ is on Hawthorn's permission to train list and likewise, Maric is training with the Tigers.

Thanks WJ. I had thought Bruce had some performance hurdles to achieve in order to get the second year. Am I wrong in thinking that, or did he actually achieve those requirements to get the second year?

I say that because, from a distance, it looked to me like the Bruce Hawthorn experiment in 2011 didn't track too well.

Didn't achieve them but looks like they will keep him on.

Having said that - I am not certain. I couldn't give a flying about Hawthorn's list management so I haven't studied it closely.

This is a list of potential prospects for the Rookie Draft there are a couple of here that we are already looking at.

http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/126608/default.aspx

It's a bit surprising that this kid didn't get drafted perhaps there's more to it, like too small, or not enough pace?

There will also be plenty of midfielders available at the December 13 draft meeting with West Perth's Shane Nelson probably the most surprising non-selection at the national draft.

He's a prolific ball winner with great endurance who can go forward and kick a goal and will surely be given a chance to impress from a rookie list.

That's something that we could use.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag
