Just watched draft combine vid on the afl site and Callum Twomey (draft expert) has mcartin still going at 1 so if the saint don't trade number 1 to gws we could still get Petracca at 2. As much as would love the danger man at the dees coming away from the draft with petracca, Brayshaw, strech and maybe gore would be a great result.

    Have a great feeling about Brayshaw. Petracca has all the focus but I think the hype may be out of kilter slightly.

    GWS will get Petracca via trade. It's not even a question. Forget about getting him because it just isn't going to happen.

    Even Whateley said it is a fait accompli that they'll trade a few players to Saints just to get the first pick. They have to shrink their list by 3 this season.

    Brayshaw is the one i want.

    Unsure how he could be there at 6 though?

    The comment was trade Pick 2 to the dogs for a mid and pick 6.

    Use pick 3 on Brayshaw and still have pick 6 left to trade or use in the draft.

    I'd use pick 6 in that scenario on Mitchell and their second rounder/ Malcheski

    Brayshaw 187cm and 87kg already. Great foot skills. Good inside. Increasing speed.

    Hmmmmm nice...

    Agree. If the Saints know we won't take McCartin, they could still get him at 4 if we keep 2 & 3 and they get a player from GWS for giving them Petracca while they still get the guy they really want. What a great deal,for the Saints.

    The only danger for the Saints would be if we trade 2 or 3 to a club that want McCartin. Wight would then be the consolation prize.

    I am actually warming to taking Brayshaw and McCartin then Stretch and more mids. Could this be the chance to get our Buddy and Roughy with McCartin and Hogan. All we would need if they are good in coming drafts and trades would be class mids.

    We are going to trade at least one pick I would Say so the saints can't count on mccartin getting to pick 4

    I think the lure of a tall forward might be what gives that pick value for us

    Yep, weighs twice as much as Grimes already.

    Seriously though, great size for a young mid.

    From what I'm hearing that deal's already done in principal.

    O'Rourke, Jaksch & 4 for Pick 1. Saints massive winners there.

    Either one would be a good get and if Mcartin is considered the best, then why wouldn't we be rapted to grab him at two? He's rated that highly for a reason, Mcartin and Hogan would be a pretty solid forward pare...

    It would be awesome to have Dangerfield come to us and I'd be rapted if it actually happens, what ever we give up.... Though it would be very risky to use picks 2 and 3 on him, especially if he gets an injury like Clark... Taking one of Petracca or Mcartin at two and trading three for Parker and pick 17 or Greenwood, Atley and pick 16, would be far less risky...

    Silly Saints. O'Rourke & Jordan Gysberts seprated at birth in terms of playing style. Jaksch is yet to be proven, 193 cm not tall enough for KP at best 3rd tall maybe.

    Alot to give up for pick number 1.

    You are to kicking what that dude was to 192cm. What was his name? Great poster. Always made the worst calls.

    You're right, kicking skills are overrated.

    Ridiculous. A 3 place upgrade for 2 good players. GWS are not that stupid, are they?

    If you are talking about O'Rourke, I posted after watching him in a couple of gamesthat he would fit in perfectly with us as he had poor disposal. Therefore we agree.

    If Dangerfield chase goes nowhere, bit of talk of trading pick 2 to the Bulldogs for 6 and a very good young mid.

    Rationale being Brayshaw still there at 6 due to talls wanted elsewhere, and he's the man we want.

    If Dangerfield chase goes nowhere and we get Pick 3 for Frawley this would see us with Picks 3 & 6. Lot of talk guaranteeing Saints will trade Pick 1 to GWS for their first pick which would be Pick 4.

    If what you say is correct the draft would be

    1) GWS - all pointing to Petracca

    2) Dogs - enough good young mids so take who they think is best Mcartin or Wright

    3) Dees - time to make the tough call you assume Saints and Brissy are going to take either the left of Mcartin or Wright, Brissy's midfield is okay but Saints need mids as well so do you take Brayshaw here or Mcartin.

    4) Saints - if Mcartin and Wright are gone do they see Brayshaw as the best mid because to give up Pick 1 I think they will have gained Jaksch

    5) Lions - as it stands but will the Pies have this pick for Beams they need defenders so Durdin could come into play

    6) Dees - is Brayshaw still available

    Big Risk if Brayshaw is the one we want

    The deal that's been mentioned is pick 1 and 21 for O'Rourke, Jacksh and pick 4, I thought?

    Brayshaw. Happy to be proven wrong as I've not seen him live but his highlights didn't excite.

    That would stop Saints nominating Stretch and Ryder would stop Port. More chance of Billy getting to our 3rd round.

    If I'm Chris Pelchen sell the club to Jaksch if you really want him, he is out of contract and pick him up Pick 1 in PSD if GWS really want Petracca that bad then get someone else with Pick 1.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
