This is my draft target. Peter Wright.

"VICTORIAN key tall Peter Wright has been dubbed better than Joe Daniher as Melbourne and Carlton eye a forward line saviour in Novembers draft. "

Victorian Peter Wright dubbed better than Joe Daniher as Melbourne, Carlton eye forward saviour

Carlton already lined up to tank, beautiful. You can guarantee they won't get a fine either.

    If we don't trade them.... Brayshaw and Goddard

    But I'd rather trade them.

    Wright has been tipped as a top pick in this year's draft for a couple of years.

    If we somehow fail to get access to him I'll be very surprised, and I couldn't see us letting him go if we did end up with pick 1.

    He is a big unit, with big wraps on his competitiveness and - most importantly - his skills.

    the thing for me that's different about him is with Boyd and Hogan they threw kids around like rag dolls with their massive frames, this kid has another dimension to his game, he is quick on a lead, a good set shot he doesn't rely on his contested marking, reminds me alot of Nick Rewoldt in that way, and he is also a very capable young ruckman

    If we were to get access to the first pick/priority pick I'd be very annoyed if we traded our chance to get Wright for a later pick and player. I still am annoyed we traded pick 2 Josh Kelly who has a lot of the qualities we need but have in short supply such as awareness, poise, elite kicking skills, time and a footy brain.

    Paige Cardona writes on Bound for Glory News about Tyler Roos, son of you know who - Bloodlines

    Roos is on the Sandringham Dragons list and here she described his round 3 game:

    Tyler Roos –

    The son of Paul Roos, Tyler had another polished game for the Dragons and if anything appear to come into his element more with gun midfielder and Sandy captain, Angus Brayshaw away on AIS duties. Roos was a solid contributor, finishing with 25 disposals and a goal. His gut running was a feature, which reflected in his ability to spread, collecting seven handball receives but let himself down with a disposal efficiency of just 60 per cent. Of his 16 of kicks, only eight hit the target which is something he’ll need to tidy up if he’s to take his game to the next level.

    Sounds like he might become a footballer with some decent coaching.

    I still can't believe there are people like you around that are so blind to his ability.

    I mean, I don't really rate your football judgment anyhow, but when it's so painfully obvious, I thought you'd still get it.

    My mistake.

    That's very disappointing Machsy because I rate your football judgement (note the spelling) big time. In fact, why you're not recruiting for the footy club on a full time basis I'll never know.

    However, at the risk of offending your sensibilities, I maintain that Frawley is currently not a gun for us.

    given we will be winless this year, it will be a crime if we dont get a PP

    Hmmmmm....... :)

    *judgment

    Look it up.

    I suggest you do. It's a legal term. Anyway Machsy, we won and Frawley was terrific.

    So who's the likely pick 5 or 6?

    Maybe even pick 7 or 8??!! Still in a state of euphoria.

    I don't need to. I know it is "judgment" as do many others.

    Maintain your ignorance if need be.

    neither of you are (totally) correct. generally the british prefer the 'e', the yanks drop it. both usually accept the other as a variant

    I prefer Shakespeare's spelling "iudgement" .....yes, that's an i not a j

    what a jidiotic way of spelling it .

  • Quote

    You can spell it either way, but the original spelling is always better - ie. the British spelling. So "judgement". :P

    • 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.
