Draft Night Discussion

We got a lucky break with Toumpas falling to No 4. Imagine if we had the first 3 picks in this draft, instead of GWS. They are crowing about the 20+ first round pickss now on their current list, but...maybe they didn't get the best players in this years draft.

It is possible the four best 18 yos in 2012 were unavailable. Jaeger O'meara and Brad Crouch went in the 2011 mini draft, while Joe Daniher and Jack Viney were father son selections.

I believe that in its creation, GWS deliberately picked a lineup that was noncompetitive for 2012 so they could secure the 1st round pick. They selected 4-6 young senior list guys (Scully, Ward, Davis, and Palmer) plus a bunch of mouldy oldies, instead of going for 16 out-of-contract players to make their list more competitive. Whitfield sounds like a very good player. He may not be the best for this year.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day and the Demons have made the long trip west to take on Fremantle tonight at Optus Stadium. Can Melbourne make it two from two to start the season, and what are you hoping to see from the Dees under the lights in Perth?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?
