I've heard a little whisper:

1 Whitfield

2 Menzel

3 Plowman

4 Toumpas

5 O'Rourke

6 Macrae

7 Grundy

8 Wines

9 Vlastuin

10 Daniher

Call me stupid, but I've heard GWS love Menzel and Plowman.

If the latest rumours are true and Toumpas is available at 4 it could go down as one of the sweetest drafts in history.

How to transform your club in one off-season. Viney, Toumpas, Hogan, Barry, Dawes and Pedersen would be an amazing outcome.

I wonder if we'll get Whitfield? I know it sounds crazy, but what if GWS want grundy, plowman and one of menzel/o'rouke. They might well identify that they have a need for types of talent they don't have yet and they picked a heap of mids first time round didn't they?

Yes it's crazy. They'll take Whitfield for sure, regardless of type he's the best available player in the draft, you don't bye pass that sort of talent.

Reading that article about Stringer was interesting....his leg break was shocking.

Apparently he still runs with a pronounced gait.

In time, I imagine that would put pressure on hips, knees and ankles.

Anyone watched him play? Is he good?

*Just youtubed him - big lad with lovely hands.

This is my tip for the top 10 in the 2012 AFL National Draft. I think that GWS have more than enough midfielders and they will take Grundy to help their ruck stocks and Plowman to help their embattled defence. Leaving the Demons to swoop on Toumpas.

1) Whitfield (GWS Giants)

2) Grundy (GWS Giants)

3) Plowman (GWS Giants)

4) Toumpas (Melbourne Demons)

5) O'Rourke (Western Bulldogs)

6) Stringer (Western Bulldogs)

7) Wines (Port Adelaide Power)

8) Macrae (Brisbane Lions)

9) Menzel (Richmond Tigers)

10) Daniher (Essendon Bombers)

Either way, I'll be happy with the Demons getting either Toumpas, Wines or O'Rourke with our number 4 pick.

I think that this is the only post that is close to being on the money. The only change that might occur is the the Bulldogs will probably snare Wines!

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
