I hope we look at this kid, just saw his highlight reel and I am very impressed.

Could he be the X factor we need? I could see him complimenting Brayshaw Salem Viney and Tyson like a charm.

Are you suggesting pick number 3 because he won't be there at 40?

Looks like he could be the next Cyril Rioli. Would definitely slot into our midfield/wing nicely.

Probably not what we need BUT some club is going to get a very good pickup. He looks sharp.

Holly [censored] those highlights looked good! Notice how he only ever went for goal when it was the best option? He is exactly what we need! I'd be happy if we are seriously thinking about this kid!

Sqw an article saying he is in the mix, not sure where.

Can anyone elaborate on his weaknesses? He doesnt look afraid of a contest/hard tackle from the look of that highlight reel.

His only weaknesses on what I have seen is that he goes missing for long periods in the game and can lakc desire to apply forward pressure, defensively which is where I see the big difference between he and Rioli.

I have seen times where Pickett will just take the game on with great effect and you think this kid is something, but there are a lot of Dayle Garlett moments where you get the lack of desire to get to a contest or apply forward pressure.

Pickett has great acceleration and can hit the ball at pace, when not being caught flat footed no concerns with his discipline or any off field issues, his family have been quite good with him keeping him focussed on footy and making sure he never strays.

Just MO probably not the right time for us to be taking someone like Pickett, 2 of Petracca, Brayshaw, Laverde, Lever before Pickett for mine

I think he'll be a fantastic little player, with real pace & a step thru traffic, run & carry to break the lines. & he hits targets. & he doesn't shirk it.

looks to work off half back as well to bring the ball up.

He obviously killed those under 16, but from what I saw of him in the under 18's he was underwhelming. He's small. Doesn't pack a lot of power like he showed in that 2012 vid and more outside.

I'd be wary about a first round pick at all, yet alone pick 3.

If we want outside silk I'd go with Laverde or Lachie Weller.

If we take Brayshaw I don't think he will give us a lot of run & carry, an area we are weak in IMO. to break the lines by foot. we are getting a little better with JKH, but not convinced.

Garlett is only for about 2 years, IMO to allow our kids time to develop. is this a quick fix whilst we grab another giving time to learn the ropes???

my choices for P-3 are Pickett or Laverde.

aside from the run & carry area, I like Lever as a Defender/Mid. One who I reckon could general our backline or hopefully be an inside ball winner. would love a Gary Ayers type in red & blue.

If there was a Harley Bennell or Daisy Thomas at pick 3 I'd be all for it. But I don't see Pickett at that level. What's best case scenario for him? Brad Hill? Laverde is interesting, but I'm not convinced by him. I'd have him in the mix for pick 3 but am more keen on the talls.

Brayshaw should give us a really nice complement to Jones, Tyson and Viney. Effectively he should take over from Cross in 12-24 months. And those 4 should be part of our centre square set ups for hopefully years to come. If they come on quickly and get some support from Michie/Riley/McKenzie/Harmes then we can redeploy Bernie Vince to more outside roles.

Speed and skill are vital. But only need to look at the grand final where Rohan and Jetta didn't touch the ball to see you have to win the ball first. It's ball winning and work rate that creates a lot of fast ball movement. The skills just make it flow.

As I said I'd love to take the line breaking beautifully skilled player with a top pick. Who knows what we will get from Lumumba, Matt Jones, Watts, Salem, Toumpas, Dom Barry, Kent and of course Billy Stretch who's probably a second round pick rated outside mid prospect. If we don't get a more outside mid type then I'd be hoping we find someone in our later ND picks or rookie picks to balance the list.

absolutely have to win the ball.... a non negotiable. any one who doesn't want to put the head over the ball in my mind should just not get a red'n'blue jumper in the first place.

now with that, IMO Pickett does go in, & does win his own ball. he's only a kid atmo... but I like his endeavor, pace, & skills. & smarts. He has the weapons to go far.

Laverde I haven't seen enough inspiring footage yet to sway me that he is better than pickett; he has the pace, & the height, but the videos leave a lot to be desired.

I haven't seen much footage of many kids at all.... I watched Pickett a few times over the course of the season, watched Lever's video, & McCartin & 2 Mtr Peter, Angus & Petracca...

none of the videos are really flattering IMO.

I agree I think we'll get good run from Lumumba & Kent,,, & Bail will back up again, but he is in his last Yr of contract for a reason. he's fringe.

I've just noted that Garlett is 25yrs... I thought I read somewhere he was 28. that changes things a bit.

really not sure about McCartin... I'm wary of using an early pick on a big guy, who has physically monster-ed the babies he has played against. is he good, or is he not?

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe
