He would be ready to go if a game was played tomorrow. I think his stats are now ht:188cm, wt:90kg, that's impressive any way you look at it.

Do we go for skill and pace, or do we go for mongrel, tenacity, etc...? Either way we cannot lose. What type we draft this year, we will make a priority to draft the other type next year. Throw in Pederson to cover the loss of Rivers, our KPP's are looking well stocked.

All we would need to worry about would be midfielders and possibly another ruckman.

Yep, Dustin Martin minus the bogan redneck gene.

I'd be happy with the bogan redneck in our team!

Pics can be deceiving I remember one a few years back when watts looked huge. Having said all that pretty happy to get this Young bloke pick 4 looks to be a pretty handy one this year as 2 - 5 all appear to be pretty handy.

What do we do if GWS take;

Whitfield

Toumpas

Wines

Do we take Grundy even though we need a midfielder?

If our guys believe he is the best player available when it is our pick then take him.He's 202cm tall and the new ruck rule will suit him to a tee.

He needs a solid, uninterrupted, pre season, if you recall he was running laps with the rehab group for much of the last pre season and didn't get in to the main bunch until very late in the process.

I think he will be very good and I don't think we've seen anywhere the best so far; the difference between him and Gys is that he wants to do the hard yards and Gys doesn't appear to. I hope that Gys will stay and start to get his act together because he could be a valuable member of the side.

I agree he needs a run at it, but nothing tells me he works harder than Gys, apart from Gys being generally unfit and injured this season. Gys gets pin holes now because he was unfit when drfated and not worked on by bailey. I dont know what tappy has done to suggest he is one of the harder trainers at the club?

I hope Tappy can be a Chappy type player and Gysberts a Hayes or pendlebury, my only point being that one is bigger and slips under the radar, the other skinny and was simply unfit under a [censored] FD and is pin hoeld as not owrking hard enough, when it is a system he is brought up and taught within which dictates this to an extent.

Yes i think Gys has the talent, i just dont think we can say he doenst want it, like man yseem to, he has been unfit and injured, which makes it hard to step forward under the new regime.

I have "bought in" to the Wines/Viney partnership and I am invested emotionally in this duo eventuating.

I will actually be very sad if Wines gets taken before our pick. In my mind it's Viney with his mate kicking arse for us for a decade. Please nobody take him!

Take that photo of him with his muscles down. Stop promoting him let's keep this under wraps!

I've heard that rumour too - that GWS will skip Grundy and take Whitfield, Toumpas and Wines.

I'd be surprised if they did not select a possible top ruckman in Grundy, even though they recently re-signed Giles. They seem short of quality and quantity in the ruck division atm.

Or O'Rourke

Without knowing little about them, I hope not. Based solely on the photos of each I hope we don't take O'Rourke, looks like another Cale Morton waiting to happen. Wiens would suit us to a tee, hopefully GWS take Grundy so we get the choice of Toumpas or Wines.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
