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.

    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).

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
