    Did anyone listen to the Roos interview and can give an overview. Thanks

    Roos has as good as confirmed on the radio this evening that we will be drafting Brayshaw and Petracca tomorrow. He made this claim on the basis that the interviewers were adamant that McCartin would be picked by St. Kilda. A decent midfield at last? Now all we need is to focus on another tall that might slip through to pick 40!

    What were his exact words 'CB'

    If it's the bit about Petracca not getting to Collingwood, well all that means as others have pointed out, he won't get past GWS. It doesn't guarantee much else.

    Although it is looking like we will pick up the 2 mids.

    why ?

    I thought your last post was over 0.05. All good...carry on.

    Come on guys, Roos is not implying anything about GWS with the Petracca comment. He has tongue-in-cheek declared that if Petracca isn't picked up by the Saints, we will. Gladly. If you can't read between the lines there then get a new hobby!

    He also mentions that Petracca, Brayshaw and McCartin are the best 3 players in the draft "at the moment", and that we'll be picking a combination of those two.

    Yeah any combination of 2 of the 3 means we can at least sleep sound till we find out what combo, thanks Roosy.

    That interview made my day/week/draft and trading period. Stoked that we'll be bringing in Brayshaw and McCartin/Petracca.

    I thought that would be the case, but my MFCSS tried to convince me otherwise. Happy days lads

    Oh you have a gripe? Latched onto media reports? All I was saying there was that it could all be thrown out the window, IF saints take Mccartin. Substantiation? What you want names and addresses of sources? Come on!!!! If no-one reported on here what they heard all you would be talking about is bananas, tv shows and dirty pictures!

    I've never heard you talk about bananas ... :)

    Almost tempted to pay homage to Rangey and institute a poll but a simple question will probably suffice.

    If hypothetically :rolleyes: we grabbed Brayshaw and Petracca, who would actually be upset ??

    I wouldnt...seems a good get. Something to work with ^_^

    go on, do it. Poll, who will the saints f... up over ?

    I am pumped.

    This is turning out to be a bloody good trade/draft period for us.

    Particularly when you add Goodwin and McCartney into the mix.

    Go the mighty, fighting Demons. Bring on 2015.

    We're back. Almost.

    except that the top sides have a way higher strike rate of turning their high draft picks into champions - see the Hawks: Hodge, Roughead, Franklin, Lewis, Ellis, Rioli.. they get full value. Surely you can't pretend that's just luck?

    It's good recruitment. It's favouring the right things in players, it's finding out who wants to play football for a living, and whose body will let them do it, and whose style of play means they can win contested footy.

    I would say we are getting better at favouring the right things, but I can't deny there being luck involved, they are teenagers asked to immerse themsleves in a vocation they have little idea whether they will excel at.

    Just how I felt back in '09 when we landed Scully and Trengove.

    Last year she was pretty spot on yeah?

    she was.

    Ive been reading those saints forums on bigfooty. According to them Christian has gone from the great hope to a the worst pick on the planet.

    Some quite ordinary rumours about him being spread on there as well. The general level of foitball knowledge was also quite poor.

    Mcmartin is a longer term prospect - petracca's self-belief alone will get him up in his first year.

    an article in the yarra ranges paper quotes Bewick hs coach saying that he will be a steal at pick 2.

  • Quote

    Yes as Ron pointed out whoever Melbourne get they are going to get the best grounding they could under Goodwin and McCartney.

    These blokes appear to be two of the best in the business and are multi faceted.

    I also believe in Smokeys after 40 with the team we have....

    People have a right to be excited, but let's just wait until these guys play a few games before anointing them savours. Then again, this is November, our favourite month. :P

    Me too. But I'm over that delusional feeling.

    I'm now more logical. The club is being built differently now. Properly built. Resurrected in fact.

    For instance, Gartlett and pick 83 for pick 61 and 79. That's simply an outrageous deal.

    Previously, we would've traded our first round pick for that. And still been excited.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
