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

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.

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.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
