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

    *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: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
