    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.

  • Quote

    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.

  • Quote

    surely that's Tom Couch?

  • Quote

    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

  • Quote

    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...

  • Quote

    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.

    • AFLW REPORT: West Coast

      Melbourne’s response to last week’s heartbreak was emphatic, as the Demons delivered a statement win over West Coast at a windswept Casey Fields. All of the pre-match hype surrounded the coach’s box matchup of Mick Stinear up against his apprentice, Daisy Pearce along with the gloomy weather forecast. In the end, it was less about tactical chess and more about Melbourne’s relentless execution. With rain looming, the DeeArmy and early birds snapped up the best undercover viewing spots.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • 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.
