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!

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
