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!

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    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
