Draft Night Discussion

Featured Replies

I'll give you a quick summary...

Shattered !!!!!

Good.

 

I'm happy overall, although don't know much about the two mature age recruits. I wanted Wines over Toumpas but time will tell.

I'll be at the MCG tomorrow to watch my nephew, Scott Boland play his first shield game for the Bushies this season so I hope to see a few Dees players there.

Go Dees/Bushies!

 

Good.

Speak to me and justify your vindictive, verbose comments later in the year eh?

I hope for your sake and Jimmy's and the club's and those "In the Know" footballing oracle, that Jimmy Toumpas does fire up!!!

I wish him all the very best.

I will watch with interest!

How the hell did Collingwood end up with Grundy?


Why the hell didn't we take a punt on garlett these guys are mad

Sorry guys and girls first time posting didnt think it worked

Speak to me and justify your vindictive, verbose comments later in the year eh?

What, next month?

 

Could I assume that if we didnt get viney under the father son rule he would have been the #1 draft pick?

Garlett and grundy werent worth it - that's why...


Why the hell didn't we take a punt on garlett these guys are mad

These guys= every recruiter and coach at every club participating in this draft.

I like the approach we took this year. No riding on potential, no big risk big reward plays here, just proven performers who have played against men and shown their metal for he first two picks

Why the hell didn't we take a punt on garlett these guys are mad

17 other clubs said no, 80 odd picks later and still no interest.

clearly doesn't want to play afl enough

Sorry guys and girls first time posting didnt think it worked

Welcome to Demon Land and say good bye to your sanity!

I wish him all the very best

I will watch with interest!

No offence fence, but it sounds more like you're willing him to fail.


How did Toumpas slip down to pick 4 - clearly GWS are tanking!

First two picks very happy with.

Last two picks very confused about ... a 23 and a 25 year old...?

I thought that maybe Shane Nelson or Sam Colquhoun would have got a gig.

perhaps its just the lack of a highlight reel that has me disconcerted.

Collingwood did very well in the first round ... pricks

Seems to me like we picked

- kids who are capable of playing some games in 2013

- older players with the bodies to go tomorrow

Not a skinny project player in sight

Thank God!

Time will tell how well they pan out but it is difficult to see them being worse that the players that have been dropped from the list.

No offence fence, but it sounds more like you're willing him to fail.

No not at all mate I just have a philosophically different view that Insiders are much better value than outsiders

Only speaking from personal view as to how I played the game!

I wish Jimmy T all the best!!!! AND I will watch with interest!

We traded it for Rodan and our list was full by then anyway.

But... we got it back for Morton.

So where'd it go?


But... we got it back for Morton.

So where'd it go?

Could it be that we only had x number of live picks, and the last couple we had defined to be rookie upgrades, therefore any picks afterwards are removed?

Just speculating.

With the mature player we picked today it looks like we are actually going to play to win in 2013 instead of picking thin kids who won't be ready to play AFL for another 2 years and hope they turn out good players.

What will 2013 bring?

 

I like the vision of all the players.

The young boys have class, drive, and desire from the little I have seen of their game, and the older two have solid bodies and Terlich is intriguing.

The only disappointment for me is taking Matt Jones, a 25 year old that didn't feature in a single phantom draft or 'VFL prospects' thread, over a tough inside midfielder who won the Morrish Medal and was BOG in the TAC Grand Final. I don't care about the earring and blonde tips, Nick Graham would have been the go for us at 52.

Has Matt Jones been training with an afl club? Surely we could have got him down to training and rookied him if we were still keen. I know for a fact Hawthorn, who are right across Box Hill given their alignment, didn't have jones in their top 150 prospects.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
