    No. It was Gold Coast who got him.

    I want to know what the f's happened to Clutterbuck and Tuck?

    Pick 42. James Magner

    From Sandringham Zebras, he is a 24-year-old player. He is a clearance specialist with a relentless attack on the footy.

    Leigh Williams

    He is a powerful key forward, an excellent kick for goal and a one touch player. He is a very good contested mark.

  • Quote

    Two tall fowards with strong hands and two hard body in and under types.

    Not bad. Goes prety much in line with the pies game plan.

    They came back up and corrected it, he went to the Suns.

    OK, that makes sense as he trained with them.

    Looks pretty good by us, two hard mids and two talls, one a bit older and the other once rumoured to go top 30 in ND.

    surely that's Tom Couch?

    I think the FD has done well again.

    You can't complain about those selections.

    I didn't think we had a hope in hell of getting Jai Sheahan

    But Leigh Williams and Crouchy have been standouts at training.

    Can't say know much about Magner apart from what I've read today.

    I guess Brett Lovett may have had some input.

    Great result and congrats-BP and crew,will enhance the list incredibly.Burnett not being picked up surprised me and getting Manger whom is already developed surprised me as well.

    GO DEES GO.

    Gee. That means Phil Scully misses out.

    I hear that he ate their picks list.

  • Quote

    So Im guessing Williams sounds like he play round 1 at FF with Clark at CHF??

    Remember Guys these are just Rookies.

    Most likely will play at Casey this year.

    I would have thought a sure thing as a rookie draft-horse

    I like the selections, two ready made inside mids in a good age bracket, and two project KPF which is really positive.

    There may be a few players drafted who can play early next year, with Magner, Couch, Taggert hopefully one can get in early

    So we are going to add these 2 to the list of Watts, Clark, Lucas Cook (a first round draft pick), Jack Fitzpatrick, plus possibly Davis, Tom Mac and Sellar. As Neeld continues to say, we will see a different team in 2012, which is great, but it's 2013+ that I'm wanting to see a premiership team, so there will be pressure on some of these guys to step up/develop quicker.

    Let's not get carried away here.

    One was a first round pick that we spent a first round pick on, the other was playing in the Essendon footy league last year...

    Watching training today, if Jai Sheahan is there in the third or fourth round we will take him. I think we will take Leigh Williams, Couch, Sheahan and Cutterbuck

    Three out of four was a pretty fair effort drdrake!

    Eastern Footy League! Makes a big difference.

    Dan Nicholson was also playing in the amateurs too but everyone loves him so what's the difference? It was only a question, not an opinion.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
