    Seems to be a few whispers about that the Saints might be leaning toward McCartin

    What a dream result that would be the for MFC

    McCartin up forward will do no more damage next year then what Frawley did. If anything he'll have less of an impact so I don't see big things happening their if we draft him.

    Happy to take Brayshaw

    I wouldn't be unhappy with a player who in his first year has equal Impact to a seven year player who finished top ten in the club b & f. It would give him the rest of his football lifetime to exceed that and make him possibly a 200+ game player of quality over his entire career.

    At least he knows how to play forward.

    Knowing us we'll probably overlook Petracca.

    McCartin would be really good for us I reckon.

    You mean knowing us we'll take Petracca, and he'll end up being a spud lol

  • Quote

    I like the concept of McCartin being on the list to share the expectation with Hogan rather than Jesse being burden with all the forward line future hope

    "Jake Lever won't be heading to the Dees at pick 3. Would have loved them to take him, but now GWS/Geel/Rich seem likely destinations. #AFLDraft"

    His mail is usually spot on so looks like Brayshaw and whichever of McCartin and Petracca the Saints don't take.

    I was wondering why we hadn't heard 'Demoneyes' proclaim we'll "certainly be picking Lever" for a while.

    Anyway, if true this makes me very happy. There are three standouts at the top of this crop, take whichever two the 'Aints don't select.

    I wouldn't rule us out drafting Lever.....

    I've heard (as of Tuesday) from one senior coach and two recruiters (one Melb based and one interstate) that they still believe we may pick Lever based on PR's apparent love for the kid! Whether this eventuates is still to be seen.

    Angus Brayshaw is this year's Ollie wines, Allen Richardson saw first hand the influence Wines had from day dot, we could end up with Petracca and McCartin yet.

    Not wrong. Predominantly played off half-back.

    Story goes that Rendell wanted to see what he was like in midfield and asked the coach to give him a spell in midfield to see how he went.

    After Dangerfield dominated, he quickly asked him to get him back to the flank!

    The other the thing to consider when reviewing the Dangerfield pick is that the draft rules at the time allowed 17 year olds (turning 18 the following year) to be included in the pool. Dangerfield was a bottom ager in his draft year, and a lot of clubs were inclined to go with older age prospects as safer bets (due to greater exposed form of the older draftees I suppose). Rule changes came in when the new franchises came in (and subsequently given priority access to the best 17 year olds).

    I remember him playing a lot out of the goalsquare as a forward, but that may have been post-drafting when he still played in the TAC Cup for a while.

    He also loved Jasper Pittard - "best kid interviewed" but didn't take him when had the chance.

    SS that is nice but I never said " we will certainly be taking Lever!" Done deal is what I would like!

    That's right. Adelaide applied for an TAC Cup overage exemption as he was finishing yr 12 in Victoria in his first year on the Adelaide list.

    Rule were changed shortly after clubs complained very loudly. Remember him getting a haul of 7 or so that year.

    Clint, I think you may be running fast and loose with the truth here.

    Just fess up, and say. you got me.

    I just wish I knew how to look up old posts! Haha

    Although I was against it, I'm realising that McCartin may indeed end up at our club as much as I thought we wouldn't draft him.

    As long as this desire to compete and aggro that people speak of is there then it's a positive. Still worry about his goal kicking yips.

    And would still rather two mids.

    You're a goose.

    I will stick my neck out here. No I'm not flying off the handle but i have had a gander at my responses. So you have put me in a fowl mood and I have realised this thread is for the birds!

    The HS this morning from my reading has Petracca pick one as a fait accompli.

    In the article Petracca has apparently told the StKilda people - "I won't let you down"

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
