Hate to say it but Pies have killed it again.

Aish at 6 and Scharenberg at 10 would have been killing it.

What they got was no more impressive than what St Kilda did.

    People forget that in past 2 years Pies have lost Dawes, Wellingham, Thomas, Shaw and a bunch of others to get the picks used on the kids. Of they mess up development they are in big trouble. Also they have thrown away any 2014 premiership aspirations with the youth policy.

    Anyone else notice Aish has put on some serious size in the last 2-3 months!

    With all due respect, I'd take their last two years over ours.....

    They're too well run and have too much coin to be in big trouble.

    Scharenberg and Grundy the last 2 drafts are absolute gifts. The Dogs and Saints are mad to pass on Scharenberg.

    I was up on the Gold Coast for work the last couple of days and bumped into Kevin Sheahan at the airport. I asked him who he would take at 9 between Salem and Freeman and he stated Salem without a seconds thought. Whilst mentioning he thought either would be good he stated beautiful kick, hard at it and more positional flexibility than Freeman. I then boarded the same flight that Salem was on and that was enough of an omen for me.

    Welcome to the Dees Christian.

    Grundy at 18 was an anomaly. Big ups to Collingwood for pulling it off but also big question marks as to why and how it happened.

    Scharenberg not so much, both feet considerably busted up is a big deal-breaker. It was enough to put the first 5 selections off him, what's to say he wouldn't have lasted to 10? If they took the punt of that happening and got Aish at 6, then yes I'd say they killed the draft. But they pulled the trigger early and got Freeman instead, not killing it for mine.

    Plays like Chris Yarren I think.

    Sharenberg wouldn't have got past us. Credit where it's due, the trade with WC to get pick 6 was a killer deal and in the end both clubs got what they wanted. As for the feet, well lets see in a couple of years. I think the Saints and Dogs made a big mistake…I actually think GWS did too, not their first one.

    edit: Grundy wasn't an anomaly, just conventional wisdom about rucks that is a load of BS.

    Yet have cleaned up with Grundy, Kennedy, Adams, Sharenberg and Freeman.

    They will still play deep in the finals next year and win another flag in 2 or 3 years im afraid..

    When Salems name was read out i was so upset, but i have calmed down now, and after watching his highlight reel i think he will go good for us (alot like Yze) but still would have rathered Freeman any day of the week.

  • Quote

    Key criteria seemed to be skilful kicks, line breaking and speed.

    Salam's left boot is a weapon (better than Freeman).

    • AFLW REPORT: West Coast

      Melbourne’s response to last week’s heartbreak was emphatic, as the Demons delivered a statement win over West Coast at a windswept Casey Fields. All of the pre-match hype surrounded the coach’s box matchup of Mick Stinear up against his apprentice, Daisy Pearce along with the gloomy weather forecast. In the end, it was less about tactical chess and more about Melbourne’s relentless execution. With rain looming, the DeeArmy and early birds snapped up the best undercover viewing spots.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • 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.
