There has been a few threads of late talking about drafting and trading.

What is happening with our recruiter since Prenders left?

People said he would have been sacked, but if that was the case i would have thought we were confident about replacing him? which to my knowledge hasnt happened?

We are heading into what has been labelled the next big Superdraft since 2001, and we dont have a head recruiting manager........W-T-F

This worries me, people need to follow players for upwards of 3-4 years coming into U18's

And we might end up with 4 picks inside 25....

Big drafting year coming up and i hope that we are suitably prepared for it

Yes i agree but we would have a fair idea about the kids out there. Maybe we should try get the geelong guy he has a good track record and melbourne has done well at getting big names to the club this year. GO DEES

Yeah my worry is that, at this time of year most clubs will have the recruiters locked in for the season? so will we end up with the 18th best AFL recruiter in the land?

Perhaps we could roll out the cheque book and poach Phil Scully from GWS (They seem to rate him highly). To seal the deal I suggest an innovative tactic... We'll pay one of his family members way above what they're worth to play for us!

I don't think the daughter's tall enough to make it in AFL football.

And wears way too much spray tan.

Wait, it's still open season on mindless Scully family banter, right?

Pretty sure his son isn't either....... Just sayin'

Not sure what to make of this, Viney might be capable but would prefer to have someone who has also watched the juniors over the past 3 or so year U16 up to be deciding on our biggest draft since 08.

There is already a thread on the Viney recruiting. And there is also a Lord Voldermort thread to thrash the issues on Scully

Please use those threads.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
