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

I'd be happy to Get McCartin for 2 reasons. Firstly he looks like a beast of a player, and secondly, it gives me faith that we've got a good FA midfielder locked in for next year.

I don't mind the sentiment but i'm cautioned towards the idea o anyone locked in. we might have a few lined up and them voicing at least the idea is plausible but as nothing can be signed id remain wary until it was. Appreciate where you're going though as its been certainly suggested we're targeting a couple of likely lads !!

I think we must get McCartin if Petracca goes at number 1. I feel he would provide greater depth for our team in allowing us to send Hogan down back if we need the cover. Not only that, but lets be real here. Dawes and Hogan right now can't stay injury free to save themselves. It's just as beneficial landing a ready to go midfielder through free agency as it is getting a ready to go forward.

You talking about Sam Blease?

Blease did look good when he played in the championships but Zaharakis looked better we should of taken him.

Laverde can take a grab so he has a few more tricks than Blease.

Josh Mahoney told @TheRunHome the Dees have narrowed down their potential draft list to four - Petracca, McCartin, Brayshaw and Wright.

Can anyone get a transcript?

Hmmm...that isn't what I heard. I thought he said we've narrowed it down to 3 or 4. Just said StK will do what is best for them and we will end up with 2 mids or a mid and and a tall but wouldn't be drawn on names...

Well I don't mind that at all.

Atleast there will be no out their Jordy Gysberts Lucas Cooks selections.

He definitely said Petrecca, Wright, McCartin and Brayshaw were the four.

i must have dozed off! :mellow: But I don't think he would show our hand so obviously. Reckon he was going with the flow and I wouldn't be surprised if they pull a surprise pick at 3.

DS: Picks 2 and 3 Josh, how many players are you seriously looking at for those positions?

JM: Down to 3 or 4 by now

MA: Brayshaw goes alright Josh

JM: He'd be one of the 3 or 4

Didn't say much on Petracca. Speculates about talls and inside midfielder, or two mids, or two talls.

MA: Paddy McCartin he'd look pretty good
JM: You're trying to get all 4 out of me. McCartin, Petracca, Brayshaw and Wright are around the mark.

I'd say at this stage they know Petracca is going at pick 1. They know they are going for Brayshaw. It will come down to McCartin, Wright and maybe Lever as a smokey that they are keeping under wraps. Really I don't think we learnt anything knew.

It's interesting that Wright is in that list. He maybe the surprise. Brayshaw,Wright?

There was talk earlier in the year that Wright was our number 1 choice. He's bigger and a better kick than McCartin. He's more versatile. And he'd compliment Dawes and Hogan compared to McCartin who would force Dawes to ruck if that was our 3 prong forward line. I don't think he'd be a surprise at all.

Why would taking McCartin force Dawes to ruck? Would mean Dawes could assume the role he's much more suited to - 3rd tall/flanker.

Dawes isn't good enough 1 on 1 to be one of our long term key forwards but can certainly do a job as 3rd tall.

    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

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
