Brett Anderson just tweeted that he is apparently putting on a clinic. Could have had about 5 or 6 goals in the first term. I have moved from Parish into this kid as our first pick while ago. 191cm tall 94kg who plays forward but has huge upside to run through the middle like Jake Stringer.

this why I asked chaser if he thought the blue baggers would take him? he may go before we get the chance?

He could well jump ahead of Parish and Francis if he keeps going like this.

Be interesting to see if Lions hold on for a win against the Dogs.

They want Schache as he is deemed less of a flight risk than Weitering. They could conceivably bypass Weitering altogether.

 

Lions win has massive implications for the draft and possible PSD too!


Yep, means Carlton can get Carlisle via the PSD. Interesting trade period ahead, I reckon!

Personally, I think the club relished relinquishing the pressure of pick 1 last year. Petracca vs McCartin was a difficult choice.

The more teams that get picks before us, the easier it becomes to just select the best available talent.

I don't think Jason Taylor would see it that way.

While it might have been a hard choice, I'm sure he would have preferred to have the option.

They were essentially ranked equal by most draft pundits so we win either way.

 

If it avoids another inevitable "but you missed so-and-so!" thread, all the better.

Just imagine if we'd had a slightly later pick in the 2012 draft rather than pick 4. We would've had Stringer, Wines or Macrae.

Every extra player who steps up and shows serious potential around or before our pick makes me happy.

I like Curnow's profile and I'm convinced that strong mobile half-forwards who can take a mark and work hard will be made all the more important by the reduced interchange rotations. Gotta have a target.

Hogan, Gawn, +1 more contested marking player will give us a lot of confidence to go long to 'arms' when midfield 'legs' wont carry us the distance late in games.


means that schache will go #2, weitering #1, and carlisle is a chance of skating thru to blues as psd #1.

Unless Kreuzer leaves and nets Carlton a compo pick after pick 1. Could be a very costly win for Brisbane.

Geez, if we win tomorrow, Carlton get band 1 compo for Kreuzer and Brisbane get a PP, we drop from pick 5 to pick 8.

Conversely, if we lose tomorrow, Kreuzer re-signs and Brisbane get nothing, we get pick 4. Go figure!

If we get thrashed tomorrow and the Bombers beat Collingwood we could drop to bottom four again. Only 2% in it. Then we have the dreaded pick #4 again and you know how well we've done with that in the past.

I'm pretty sure the AFL commission have already said they won't give Brisbane a PP. As for Kreuzer, I don't think he rates band 1 compo. Maybe band 2. He hasn't exactly had a stellar career.

After today's stellar performance, I'm convinced Brisbane were explicitly told this week that no PP is coming. Raises all sorts of questions about their form pre-Round 23.

Ultimately, whatever Kreuzer gets depends on whatever he's paid. If a club is actually dumb enough to give him a Frawley-esque contract, they should fire their list managers. His body can't handle the AFL and you'd be foolish to offer him much more than $350k/year. Apparently Robbo said on SEN today that he turned down a $1.5m 3-4 year deal with Carlton. Interesting.

Can't see the Dons beating Collingwood, think it'll be Pick 5 for us.

Just on that though... The Dogs got Bontempelli with Pick 4. I don't buy the curse

Pick 4 isn't cursed, just our use of it.

Pick 4 isn't cursed, just our use of it.

Can't argue with that. Pretty impressed with Taylor's efforts so far as list manager, I'd back him to nail pick 4 if we had it.

The wheel always turns (seems to turn slower for the MFC)

geez thats a turnup, the blue baggers with P-1

well, I don't think that the bluebaggers will take Curnow now.

i think every team below 11th, raises questions about form, & the integrity of the ladder itself .

the draft in its current form causes cheating...

AFL; change the draft, & draw the first 8 picks from a hat ! starting from the 2016 national draft.

I think it's funny people complaining about the number of high picks Melbourne have had. We're actually only average. Carlton have had much more, including as of the upcoming draft, twice the number of #1 picks in the last decade.

They have to move towards a 17-5 fixture, it's pretty clear the table is split between the top 12 and the bottom 6 who are miles off the pace.

Frankly, the bottom 6 teams should get the top 12 picks before the rest even get a chance at the draft. They have the advantage of free agency.

they, bluebaggers are the only club with a worse culture, than ours was.

currently you could say the lions, but then again, they bite hard when they want to bite.

poor culture, stops development in its tracks.

its a lot harder for rebuilding sides to compete since the congestion appeared in the game. kids need more time & space to make they're decisions, & to dispose. in this cogested game they have no time.

its killing careers before they start.. & its killing the game itself.

this is why the gap has gotten bigger in recernt years. because of all the 2 way running, Via the rotations.

Everything that is bad in todays game is because of the increased running abilities, to cover more & more ground. It effectively makes the grounds smaller.

With no space for anyone, & also older supporters cannot pick what is going on, because of this congestion... they can't see who is on the field or where players are playing... its a bloody mess. & a turn off.

regarding fixture, I'd like to see state of origin return... so if its 17 or 18 games, OK... But have byes; play SOO games on the byes.

After the final H&A Rnd, have a bye so teams do not rest players in any dead rubbers. So a bye before the finals, with a SOO game in that Pre Finals weekend.... also a bye between the Preliminaries & Grand Final week, with another SOO game.

Brisbane won't get a PP, and if they somehow do, it won't be a before R1 PP, it'll be end of 1st round or second round.

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
