I've got a contact at the club who is involved with the recruiting and drafting and I just thought I'd let you know that the issues you've been discussing here are exactly those that are being debated

This was on bigfooty from a Saints supporter and made me laugh. After I stopped laughing I figured out he was 100% right. "In 9 hours, we find out if Petracca is a very driven, highly talented gun an

The other interesting thing about Judd that highlights the folly of making black and white calls on 18 year old draftees is that even after a player starts playing AFL and everyone gets to see him, ho

If Petracca goes at one.

I would take Brayshaw and McCartin because I believe these two have the bodies to impact sooner.

Young midfield group developing together - Tyson,Viney, Toumpas,Salem,Brayshaw and Stretch.

Hogan CHF and MCartin Full forward....because I don't really trust Dawes to hold down a key position, ( better as a third tall) he is too hot and cold and we need another option.

Know for a fact that there has been plenty of work done on Corey Ellis by Taylor and his team. Tall midfielder with a few tricks, but had some injury issues this season. Melbourne have apparently been asking an 'inordinate number' of questions about him.Make of it what you will.

Would happily have taken him at pick 23 but now that's gone...

no way will he last till pick 40 unfortunately

Legitimate question: what if the Saints do pass on Petracca?

I'd hate to see him end up at GWS with pick 4.

I think that is unlikely.

If St Kilda wanted a tall they'd of traded into pick 4.

Unless of course they really rate McCartin and don't want to risk us taking him.

Either way, I guess it is fun to speculate, we'll have to wait another month or so to find out.

We are in a great position though, we can take Brayshaw and either Petracca or McCartin, depending on who gets through.

A couple of big bodied forwards in Hogan and McCartin would be ideal coming into 2016 - which is when we'll be driving hard at free agents.

My only concern with Wright and McCartin is that they might only be rated so highly due to being the only tall forwards in this draft.

Do either play with the hardness and aggression of Hogan?

McCartin has the aggression, Wright doesn't.

I can't tell if you're joking. If we were gifted Petracca at 2, why in the name of Luke Molan would we pass him up? We've already done GWS a favour today.

Says who? Your info to date hasn't even been close mate.

As I said we wont be. My info to date re: Danger - we went hard but couldn't land him! Shiel - we had a go and ditto. Just because things don't happen doesn't mean we weren't in there punching!

I would be taking Brayshaw & Lever (or whoever we rate as the next best midfielder).

I am assuming Petracca is a Saint!

One of my biggest gripes on an AFL player is a player who can't put the ball through the big sticks. Especially a forward! Arrrghh!

McCartin reminds me of John Butcher! Can't kick... Sorry no disrespect! Pass.

Instead we should be targeting Taylor Walker next year as a free agent! He can kick...

I've got a gut feel Walker will be a Demion this time next year!

For me I would love Petracca and Lever. Petracca Looks to have the burst out of a pack speed and from the look of his highlights he can take a mark as well. Lever looks to be the new type of mid we are seeing eg:Bontompelli from the doggies. With his size Lever could play some games next year and have a impact. I will say this is from watching some highlights on you tube so I may be wrong about all of this.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
