Please view the historical record for my predictions.

Actually, i have not got any wrong, yet. maybe trengove is he dosnt come good again. But I have been picking the right players since we started getting footage on the internet.

I go for the Geelong type of players, gladitorial winners. Like Hogan or the freaky aboriginals. I think you need a couple of freaks.

Clem Michael over Simon Black

Ashley Sampi over Jimmy Bartel

Jarrad Oakley-Nicholls over Bernie Vince

Liam Jurrah over Tom Rockliff

Aussie Wonamerri over Mumford

Those Freaky indigenous boys all worked out really well, didn't they. Out of that group the only one you would class as a gladiator is Mumford. You are no genius and through the history of the draft there have been a lot more misses with draft picks than hits.

    He's played 16 games FFS...

    I'm not surprised though with people's expectations in today's "I want it right now" world.

    Relax. At least let the kid have a few more games, people mature at different times, physically and mentally, the latter is evident on demonland...

    Alot of early bloomers in that draft

    If I were re-doing the draft right now I'd say

    1. Wines

    2.Whitfield

    3. Mcrae

    4.Vlastian

    5. Mayes

    6. Toumpas

    7.Menzel

    8.Plowman

    9.Stringer

    10.O'rourke

    Toumpas is averaging 17 touches and a goal this season, so statistically he's going okay for a developing player but he needs to add that contested ball element to his game, he is either very damaging on the outside or he can win his own footy.

    If we are redoing the draft now you have to take a few things into account namely those players we have seen a fair bit of and those we haven't. Would we still give up pick 3 to get Hogan - yes I would but those who want immediate impact wouldn't.

    Do you want a ruckman because our ruck stocks don't run so deep, if I was picking players on what I have seen at AFL level

    1) Whitfield - still the one for me, class and vision and will be elite

    2) Mcrae - as above

    3) Wines - what he doesn't have in class he makes up for with agression and size, barring injury looks every bit a 200 game quality mid

    4) Viney - Lets face it had the opposition seen how good he really could be against men at this level we would not have got him at Pick 28

    5) Grundy - still can't believe the Dockers who at the time needed a long term replacement for Sandilands took Josh Simpson over him, the Dogs who had Pick 5 could certainly do with him and Minson working in tandem now

    6) Mayes - looks really classy and has the ability to play through the middle or off HBF really like this kid and he has not looked out of place since day 1

    7) Vlastuin - as above although doesn't show the same class as Mayes but Toiges have a good one here

    8) Menzel - there is the injury cloud but has looked good this season in a side severely lacking leaders

    9) Toumpas - still shown enough to suggest he will be worth a Top 10 Pick, makes some good runs and knows how to find space, disposal is good so has the tools

    10) Danniher - has shown enough and lets face it Bombers were never not going to take him at Pick 10 - it's about the player he will become not what he will do in years 1 & 2

    Stringer has shown glimpses but overall been a disapointment to me

    Plowman & O'Rourke I have not seen enough of but I actually in the little I have seen in O'Rourke I see apossibility as a big mid in teh Barlow/Mundy mould

    Kent - slipped under the radar and would not drop out of the top 15-20 if this draft was done today

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • 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.
