"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!

  • Quote

    Haha, that was amazing.

  • Quote

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.
