There are already threads on Saintsational....a bit more measured than would be on here but not much!

Wait until Petracca starts to play some good games, they will be in full melt down.

    I will have a look the next time I need my fill of schadenfreude.

    Brayshaw's performance will only inspire and challenge his good mate in Petracca next year!

    I get the sense Christian is a competitive beast who'll be out to build his reputation.

    I went to 6 or 7 training sessions in the pre-season and it looked very much to me like Petracca, not Brayshaw, was going to be the one to burst onto the scene. Just his physical development and the way he was going about it, he looked absolutely ready. The fact Brayshaw has absolutely killed it makes me very eager to see CP out there next year, can't wait. I posted in the Trengove thread that article about how the Dees put all that work into Hogan while he was injured and are now doing that for CP, I reckon we won't be disappointed come 2016.

    but there's nothing in the media - Jack Watts still cops it to this day

    I can see last year's draft being looked at as a massive one for the club. Especially if we are up in a few years challenging deep in finals.

    #2: Christian Petracca

    #3: Angus Brayshaw

    #40: Alex Neal-Bullen

    #42: Billy Stretch

    #53: Oscar McDonald

    Rookie Draft

    #2 Aaron Vandenberg

    Plus there also needs to be included in this Sam Frost who we traded pick 23 for and Mitch White who was our other rookie pick and seems to be developing well as a small defender with a booming left foot.

    I'll tell you what, if the roles were reversed and Melbourne had pick #1, St Kilda #2 and #3 and we had of drafted McCartin, there would have been articles everywhere how we had potentially screwed up another pick.

    To be fair, that's because we have screwed up a number of picks.

    Between Brayshaw and Hogan the club better have a good stock of #1's handy for the jumpers.

    All they need is Gawny to continue his great form and there could be a huge shortage of #1's

    Sounds more like common sense.

    Which is why it doesn't sound like TGR.

    I recall a post by TGR, apologies as I cant remember if it was on here on on Demonology.

    He put it quite well. STARS win the big games.

    We need STARS, as they stand up in the big moments, and drag the team over the line, both with skill, and will. (paraphrasing only)

    After a decade, I finally have confidence that we have at least 2 players on our list, who will become STARS, and my god it feels good.

    Brayshaw and Hoges will have every other club scrambling to put together monster deals, as these young blokes have already shown they have what it takes to rip the competition apart.

    If Petracca is as good as Brayshaw, we might finally be able to stop looking at other clubs lists, thinking, "why not us"

    We are also building a nucleus of guys who hold limited baggage from our losing years and are creating a culture of enthusiasm and expectation that hard work, good development support and buy-in will create the environment for success. Thank you Paul Roos and Peter Jackson.

    Even when McCartin debuted against Collingwood!

    I didnt see too much delusional talk in that thread, although I did skip the first page.

    What I did see, was a forum that looks like it was put together by a first year IT student, who was full to the eyeballs with the good stuff.

    Very ugly site to read..

    I expect St Kilda will regret not taking either Brayshaw or Petracca.

    I don't really understand clubs taking forwards early in the draft, more often than not - it doesn't work.

    Sure, there are some exceptions, but the large majority of forwards taken early have failed.

    That is looking like becoming one of the best drafts ever for any club.

    Well done team.

    Here's a tough one - if you had to choose right now between Brayshaw and Hogan which do you take?

    Hogan by an absolute mile..you know that c & b...

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
