It looks like we won't be participating in the PSD unless we delist someone but that's unlikely as all players are now contracted.

The rookie draft gives us two more picks with the first of these coming in at #3.

That leads us to the question of who's available or who wasn't picked tonight?

I didn't hear Sam Colquhoun of Central District, SA being called out.

Surprise to me as he was a prolific ball winner during the under 18 champs. I wonder if there's a story behind that?

A few other names missing as well, some because of question marks about their conduct.

The opportunity cost of the pick is less but the main risk is the potential disruption, grief, bad publicity and use of finite player management resources. That's the same whether he's pick 4 or rook

Dayle Garlett overlooked. Potential top 20 draftee.

Bad behavior off field has prevented him from being selected

Yes, isn't that amazing.

PSD possibility?

Would we pull the trigger in the RD?

Matthew Haynes - elite speed, was a projected top 20 pick last year, AIS program. Didn't have a great year in the TAC but would be worth a rookie.

Wouldn't touch him, last thing we need is more bad publicity if he nicks up.

Jurrah leaving the way he did probably making us steer away even more I think.

Clearly misses on one of Toddy's KPIs - character.

I would take a punt on Garlett.

Read him the riot act with Neeld giving him the thousand mile death stare.

Could pay huge dividends.

We haven't had the senior group to help a kid like that but talent is talent.

Maybe we aren't ready to take on a project like that just yet...

Yes from me, didn't have a great year but has a huge upside. With the senior bodies we have now we could afford to take him on. As he is a Carey boy the Viney's will know if he has the right attributes.

Garlett

he is with the punt for sure

Like demon said get Neeld to give it to him straight if he stuffs up he's out the door and I'm pretty sure if he was saying it to me I would be on the straight and narrow trying to repay him for his faith

Lol I wonder if that was what Voss thought when he recruited Fev!

Garlett's talent is so seductive but I couldn't stand another season of off field stuff we have had to put up with this year. Bring on 2013.

Andrew Boston

Leigh Osborne

Shannon Taylor

Boston could be good as a longer term small forward. Bit of time in Casey as understudy to Byrne's / Rodan. Knows where the goals are.

I would not loose any sleep if we had the chance, passed and he went on to make it somewhere else. We just cannot afford a bloke with the ability to stuff up with crap still hanging over us.

Many good ones still available IMO ...

SA : Colquohoun, Vfl - Osborne , Vic TAC: Pongracic , Hams, Mansfield, Haynes , Ballard WAFL: Nelson, Warrell , Lowrie , Wilkins .

Qld : Boston.

For me, Sam Colquohoun has Elite skills and class, and Jacob Ballard is a ballwinner with a mature build. These guys are unlucky not to get drafted and are "good" rookie options. Plenty of good players have come through as rookie. They take the disappointment and drive harder.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
