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.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
