Another prediction please

Posted

Hogan is meant to be in the top 4 next years draft, so how is it that we want to pay pick 3 (already overs) and 13 when he cant play for a year.

I cannot see the logic behind it, we payed pick 12 for Clark who was a ready made taller version of Hogan.

Please do not take him with 2 first rounders, draft Toumpas/Garlett instead as they will have a bigger impact and worry about a Gorilla via Dawes or future drafts.

This price is almost as ludicrous as GC wanting 2 first round picks for Caddy

Flashback... oh dear!

Ah, it's good to occasionally be on the right side of Hindsight History...

I also would love to point out all those saying - 'Kennedy/Garlett are lost to us with ND13 moving to ND20' blah blah blah.

Don't sweat the small stuff.

Blue chip picks are hard to come by - you have to either be really bad or very clever...

oh dear doesn't begin to cut it - there is so much wrong with that post it is hard to know where to begin....

In hindsight, potentially the worst post in DL history. Toumpas and Garlett instead of Hogan... the club would have been dissolved by now if Olisik was in charge of recruiting.

Maybe he was 2003 - 2013.

It made me giggle.

Hogan was targeted and we got him. It appears the same could be said for Brayshaw, Salem and our 2015 pick 3. As a club we're learning.

Agree with the sentiment of this, but Hogan was acquired when our club was still very, very [censored] up. Schwab was still pulling the strings, Neeld was the head coach, we had no defined recruiting director, and Roos wasn't even a twinkle in PJ's eye.

That's why I said the club was learning. Things aren't always black and white. Past administrations were poor but still capable of making solid decisions such as the pursuit of Hogan. The current administration has taken great strides but isn't perfect.

I really think that Todd Viney's impact on the turnaround of this club cannot be understated.

I'm still scared of (potentially) losing the next Wayne Carey to Freo.

Hopefully Freo will revert back to their steady state of crappiness by the time Jesse's contract is up for renewal.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    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.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
