Gold Coast would be kicking themselves that they selected Martin over Hogan.

I remember being astounded why a team with so many young gun midfielders with first choice in the mini draft, then went for an outside midfielder instead of a possible gun power forward. defied logic.

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

    Chin up big guy. He loves being a Dee.

    It may be an interesting scenario if he gets the second year blues.

    But I get your point.

    ...and I am not worried...

    I can see a Dangerfield type scenario occurring.

    Sign until he is 24/25 for very nice coin at Melbourne.

    Then go home for the rest of his career under free agency.

    I'm hoping to look back in 4 years time and thinking how lucky we were to get him for pick 13.

    You can look back next year. Hopefully he and the club have extended his contract for life.

    where's that hannibal toumpas or wines draft quote

    lol which one?

    why would he want to leave the Premiers ?

    He will be 22 when his OOC with 4 years under his belt.

    If his next contracts extends that by the mooted 6 years or even if we taking the next 2 into account - he will be 26 and OOC.

    And he will be a FA, not that it really matters these days.

    But honestly, would a good club be so constantly worried about him leaving?

    I know we are not a good club yet, but don't we wish to be?

    Former West Coast players have publicly stated that the shocking plane travel every second week shortened careers. Why would a big tall with a history of back issues want to potentially shorten his career.

    He may leave the Dees, but imo it won't be to go home to WA.

    He may leave the Dees..

    If you ever had a 'tipping point' PD - which I never thought you'd reach anyway - this could be it.

    Has anyone ever said that you're a very smart man ?

    I do remember you heavily pushing his barrow, and deservedly so.

    This is the post we should have bumped the thread with. LOL. Double LOL at the other guy getting all sooky about his embarrassing error.

    lol. Was this why the Dingaling got suspended?

    Toumpas and Hogan at #3 #4 would be perfect :)

    We must take Clayton Oliver and how you wanted Ollie Wines

    Don't pass on another Ollie

    Oh how the past can come back and haunt you

    His Watts one is better. I've bolded my favourite lines.

    Keep in mind while reading that he now only refers to Watts as "tippy toes".

    With the way Watts' every move is scrutinised and analysed he must at times feel like Truman Burbank.

    Watts is a very smart footballer. Some players look for body contact all the time and others will avoid it if it's advantageous to do so. Watts will go if it's his turn and I've not seen him avoid one contest that he really had to endure, but I have seen him avoid contests that other players wouldn't have because it was the sensible option. Whether that has involved running around a player giving a shepherd or deliberately keeping his feet so as to not rule himself out of the next contest. He's not the type to knock blokes over just to make a statement - yet.

    How many guys at his height have such agility, pace, and skills on either side of their body. Plus a real footy brain. He's something special is young Jack, but the nuffies on here have to be a little more patient while Truman develops into what is going to be an imposing physique.

    Some of these threads will be fun to bump in a few years.

    Good to see he's hitched his wagon onto someone a lot sturdier and safer this time.

    (Sorry PD. You know I love your work.)

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It's Game Day and the Demons have another opportunity to spoil another team's finals aspirations as they take on the Hawks at the MCG. What do you want to see from the boys today?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
