Easily the worst AFL Draft preview you’ll read

Featured Replies

 

"Christian has worked hard all year and his reward is a career at St Kilda.

Life is a cruel mistress.

He may be the only draftee in the entire history of the draft to hope to slip to Melbourne."

I laughed. Then I cried a little bit at the last line. Then I laughed again.

To the contrary, i think that it is the best draft preview that I have read. Lots of truth tucked away in there!

 

PICK 13. FREMANTLE

Sam Durdin (West Adelaide)

H: 197cm W: 87kg

Sam was born in 1996, two years after Kurt Cobain died. You feel old, right?

What’s he like as a football prospect? He’s tall but how about that Cobain thing?

Mind blowing.

I just knew when I read the thread title that it was going to be Titus O'Reily!

That guy really knows how to kick a behind, ala Mal Michael 2006...

I agree, obviously he loves satire, but out of all phantom drafts, his draft order will probably go closest to the pin!!!

 

For those who are suffering from draft fatigue (and there are quite a few around) this is good stuff ~

Easily the worst AFL Draft preview youll read

My favourite was the Lever comment.

"Jake had an ACL tear in January and spent a lot of time bored out of his mind as he recovered.

This is the perfect preparation for a career in Adelaide."

PICK 5. COLLINGWOOD

Jayden Laverde (Western Jets)

H: 189cm W: 82kg

Jayden is the perfect fit for Collingwood. Not necessarily in terms of football but due to having the name ‘Jayden.’

Gold.


What's even more remarkable is the sense of humour Titus has maintained, considering he's a Melbourne supporter.

"Angus is a tough midfielder who loves contact, so he will stand out at Melbourne like a James Hird hater on the Essendon Board."

He's really one of us at heart isn't he :)

This was amazing. Please put it on big footy!

Titus dares to write what the others won't/don't...........something original :)

"Isaac Heeney (Cardiff)

H: 185cm W: 82kg

Isaac was built in the Sydney Academy using DNA from Paul Kelly and an actual swan.

This means he’s aggressive at the ball and mates for life."

Comedy gold!


Haha, that was amazing.

I concur with Moonshadow: the Isaac Heeney one is pure gold.

A great review and probably as true as any and brought quite a few laughs.

Some joy at last. Many thanks!

Liked this one the best:

PICK 6. GWS GIANTS

Jordan De Goey (Oakleigh Chargers)

H: 187cm W: 82kg

De Goey was against going to GWS until he saw what Tom Boyd managed to achieve there.

Now, he’s trying to work out whether to get a Ferrari or an Aston Martin Vantage in 2016.

PICK 8. GOLD COAST


Liam Duggan (Western Jets)


H: 183cm W: 75kg


Liam said playing under Rodney Eade would be ‘fine, I guess’ before saying he was going to his room to play FIFA for ‘at least a few hours.’


He later came out when the pizza was delivered.



My sort of guy.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
