The Recruit

Featured Replies

Posted

Surprised we dont have a thread on this yet.

So apparently they will be holding a special draft for AFL teams to take partocopants in the recruit as rookies.

Now thay Westrupp is gone does anyone think any of the candidates here could be of any value for us? Waylon Mason anyone?

 

I am a bit of a fan of Johan Wagner and Reece Maxwell myself, i reckon both could become players,

Wagners running is way above elite for a bloke his side and he has the capacity to seriously dominate games, could he transfer it to AFL level?

I've said it in other threads. I want us to take a punt on Manson. He might pack it in and go back home, but there's a chance he could take to the AFL and become a star for us. Totally worth a Rookie spot.

Manson was once touted top 5 prospect im 2011 draft. We need some excitement.

Who touted him?

Guess the show is lying then because dazzledavey said so.

They probably are because I can find no evidence that he was rated top 5, maybe in the rookie draft. They must have mixed him up with Garlett who was rated a top 10 pick.

We mentioned this in another thread. I agree on Wagner and Maxwell, I rate Wagner a little higher as I believe he would fulfil our needs more so than maxwell.

He's very athelitic and appears to be able to find the goals.

I like Wagner and the Jackal. Another thing I was thinking bout the other day, we the success of Hanley at Brissy, should the mfc look at another tilt at the Irish Experiment? Roos seems a fan of it. Reckon we should look at it again. Be a nicevtributevto Jimmy too, could set up a scholarship type scenario

These guys know how to work hard. I hope Roos has made the current players watch this so they could see how hard others are willing go work for a shot at thir jobs.

These guys would be cheap pickups and if they are holding a special draft we may have a high pick.

Go to all the phantom drafts back in 2011 and not once where he was rated a top 5 contender. He was atleast a 3rd rounder rookie chance because of his background.

Your watching reality tv of course they would pump him up.

Fact is he was never rated a top 5 prospect.

Cool.

We should have a look at him as his 193cm with a huge leap, good skills and isnt afraid to go in hard. Would be a good pickup without costing us anything.

I can't believe anyone who watches the show would be interested in taking a punt on Waylen. Attitude is nowhere near what is required, which I understandable given his background, but unfortunately it just won't work. And not to mention I have seen very little in Waylen to get excited about from the limited game footage they show.

Wagner looks like a definite prospect. His kicking action is a bit unorthodox but he is quick and looks an elite athlete.

  • Author

Waylen talks abit of trash but when it comes to the crunch he has always pushed through

  • Author

I hope we are looking at Wagner. He looks better then half our list and has a good head on his shoulders.


Wagner all day.

Guy Sabastion might make a good solid mid...

Id be happy taking anyone after Sundays game. 3 goals......Archie Thompson could outscores the MFC on his own

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

  • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
