I posted this in another thread being thoughts passed on from an astute Cats supporter mate:

....... Won Liston Medal so can play.......

Can't be that astute if he rates the Liston!

And from the descriptions of the players if accurate they're hardly the types MFC are looking for.

And I would not use Evans as a benchmark either for acceptance.

I'd take either of Burbury or Schroder, but I don't really wanna load up on Geelong rejects...

You're probably right but God it's a sad indictment of our club that if those 5 were on our list this year, three probably wouldve got 2 year extensions and a 4th wouldve played 10 games comfortably. It does show what a poor list Paul inherited. I wouldn't mind either one of the two you suggested, I think Schroder has a lot of potential but CScott was never a fan.

We got Bizzell for Grgic.

Ha HA.

We got a pick in the 50s for Grgic (Brad Miller if I recall). The deal for Bizzell was complicated and separate.

And the pick we gave up, which was 17, ended up being James Kelly.

Edit - Pick was 17 not 19.

You recall it how you will after googling.

We got Bizz for Grgic and The bull for not much.

Fools!

So you'd probably just speculate then, if you had the choice, or not.

No, we didn't.

We traded picks 17 and 41 for Bizzell, and we got pick 55 for Grgic.

No, we didn't.

We traded picks 17 and 41 for Bizzell, and we got pick 55 for Grgic.

so the end result was the same.

Posted

Not really, but whatever floats your boat.

doesn't take much.

but Biz beat the Grigmeister.

You could say it's the same - and it might pass. Melbourne are probably the only club that would trade picks 17 and 41 for pick 55.

Only one would be Burbury for me.

Clearly I know something you don't, Pagliacci.

Time will tell.

It's all about opportunity cost.

If we have a spot on our list and the choice is between Schroeder & Clisby, I'd give Schroeder a chance.

But I don't know who else will be there to choose from.

And I'd rather not load up on Geelong rejects...

...

That's rather a redundant option given Clisby is already gone.

No sh*t Sherlock.

It was an example.

I don't know what spuds will be left lying around after delistings, trade week & FA movement.

Do you?

Schroder must have really fallen away. I can recall early this season some cats fans saying he was going to be a player for them after a stellar 2013 in the VFL. Schroder only had 4 years in the system, and at Geelong odds are you are not going to walk into that side. Might still have something to offer at AFL level, but I haven't seen enough of him to say that he is a must draft player for us.

I would be looking to cherry pick the players who are in and out of Hawthorn and Sydney's best 22.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
