I've been groupthunk in to wanting Lever. Just putting this out there so when we don't draft him and he turns out to be a gun I can bleat about it repetitively, even though I actually have no idea abo

Enormous talent! The kid captain Vic Metro last year as a bottom ager so it just shows the leadership qualities he presents something Paul Roos screams for. A huge endorsement from his peers. He is

If we're going to draft him I hope we get Richmond's medical staff to check his knee out.

I reckon there is something seductive for clubs when it comes to big kpfs in the draft. This despite reiwold being the only true kpf taken at one who is a bona fide star. Also despite the fact that in modern footy you really need 2-3 true a grade muds (and 5-6 b graders) to be competive. And despite what some people say gun mids are not dine a dozen. Would be very happy with petracca and brayshaw - should i be changing my avatar again?

I think there are two major points here.

1: mccartin would have the chance to develop with roo there

2: there aren't a lot of key forwards in the next couple of drafts by the looks of things

If what Sir Paul is saying has substance, Im thinking that Petracca and Brayshaw would have been our 1 / 2 picks. Thats gotta be a good result . If it goes that way we'll have Hogan and Petracca and Brayshaw all debuting next year and all of whome could easily have been number 1 draft picks.

Great news that we're passing up Lever!

Means we're more than likely going Brayshaw and McCartin.

We should discuss this post in 5 years time...

Great news?

We will discuss this then I promise - it will be better than Interstellar...

5th dimension? You skipped right over the 4th!?!

I'm calling it early. This will be a dud draft like 2003. Very few of the top 10 impress me. Brayshaw should prove to be a good player but not great. Petracca and Mccartin I am not convinced about at all.

You are walking out of the cinema during the trailers, nah you haven't seen a trailer yet - you walking out during a Pancake Parlour ad...

That's pretty big news.

I did a little review of how I ranked players from this pool, tallying up how I scored their playing attributes based on what I had seen. There isn't too much in it, but I ended up with Petracca top of the class, closely followed by Brayshaw. McCartin I had a few points behind as fourth best of the available players. It confirmed in my mind that after the first three players, there isn't much separating the next 30 or so players.

To score Petracca and Brayshaw would be an excellent result for our list.

It's certainly sound reasoning, especially since we kept hearing that the gap between Petracca and McCartin was never seen to be very wide.

I hope this plays out (though comfortable with either outcome).

It's a good thing we aren't desperate for a key forward...

Have you actually seen any of them play?

I wouldn't make a call until I have watched them live as I don't think highlights or regurgitating others views is legit.

I haven't seen mccartin live so no comment. I have seen both Petracca and brayshaw play (against each other in the final round of the tac cup actually). Both will succeed at afl level I have absolutely no doubt. Too early to tell how good they will be but it is clear that both have the physical attributes to succeed at the next level.

So why are you so unconvinced? Curious as to what you base your call on....

Oh dear, sorry Nut. The problem is you talk so much sense in a conversational and friendly way I forgot you.

Actually there are a lot of good posters around aren't there. Your in the top bracket.

Anyone think Lever at 3 is a chance ...??

I still think Lever was being looked at should we have had a pick around 8-10 as a result of a trade ( Tysonesque ) . I dont think hes been considered as a #3 though

I feel truly humbled to have been annointed your favourite poster and I don't take it lightly. I am thinking of having your post framed next to a picture of me.

As to what end on the misinformation, I have done my investigations on the number 1 pick scenarios and it just seems to me that first, the Saints would not have passed up picks 4 and 7 for 1, unless they wanted Petracca and second, that the AFL is a little peeved that we all think we know who the Saints will take and they are trying to spice up the event with some mystery and confusion.

    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

    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.

    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
