We missed Ollie Wines, let's not make the same mistake.

Imagine this kid in the centre square, will cause explosions with Viney for the next 10 years. Much better prospect then Curnow in my opinion. By far

    That was before I watched Oliver's highlight reel.

    I rate them both over Mr 14 average disposal Curnow.

    Not enough of an impact for a top 10 prospect. J Howe had more of an impact

    Are you serious? You are comparing a midfielder to a key forward this year mate which is absolutely ridiculous

    Curnow isn't a key forwArd. In fact in his own bio he says himself he isn't even sure what position is his.

    Only 4cm between the two.

    And this shows you did not watch any game of Curnow. Thats where they played played this year due to coming back from a long term injury. We all don't know what his best position is but fact is they played him as a key forward this year.

    Too risky for me for a top 7 pick.

    Site bitching aside, this kid obviously has some serious ability.

    How did he go at the combine? If he has the tank and some skills to go with that mongrel he's got to be right up there.

    He missed the pre-season with OP. Started slowly because of it, that is why he didn't get an invite to the Nationals. Didn't poll many votes in the first half of the season, but came home like a steam train in the second half of the year - and won the Morrish medal. I have no doubt he is the best mid in the draft, but whether we take him or not is another story. But he should be still there at 7.

    Hmm, I worry a little that he looks like the next Brent Moloney. You know - if a coach says 'move the ball quickly, take the first good option' he will be thinking 'ME! I'm the first good option!'

    There's just something in those highlights that made me think he wasn't as aware of his teammates as an onballer needs to be at AFL-intensity.

    Would be nice if the highlights showed where the ball went after he kicked it.

    Looked good though.

    And he won't be able to break tackles that easy at AFL level. His disposal looks average if that's his highlight reel.

    Curnow is not a midfielder now and would need a lot of work and maintenance put into him before he could ever be a regular in the midfield. If you think we can pick him up and make him a midfielder, you're kidding yourself. It might happen but the percentage chance is low. He's more of a third forward now and might never be more than that.

    Where have i mentioned anything about him being in the midfield?

    Completely missed the point.

    Missing pre-season with OP makes me think of Colin Sylvia. To think we were punting a Premiership with him and Brock Maclean as two top five picks. We thought at the time that they were the top mids in the draft.

    Please stop making outlandish comments about who we 'must' take based on YouTube videos. I beg you.

    Please don't pass on Ollie!!!

    Who will it be next week...it was Mathieson last week, Oliver this week.

    I can't wait until the next batch of AFL videos come out so you can tell us who the next mistake of the decade will be.

    The sad case is that the 03 draft was a stinker.

    If you look at the players in the top 40 taken after them the only players better were David Mundy at 19 and Jed Adcock at 33.

    Hell, better players were taken in the rookie draft. Our own Aaron Davey at 3, Andrew Carrazzo at 2, Nathan Foley at 4 and Paul Duffield at 10.

    Not sure what your watching as Jordie sure in hell couldn't kick a goal.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
