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.

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!

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
