Another interesting observation Oliver is taller than Gary Ablett snr so is Petracca.  I reckon when Oliver stops growing he will be bigger than Dunstall.

I'm excited. Yes I know it is more than height.

 

Funny how so many of our noobies fit a certain mold !!!

There's definitely a prototype style of player in mind now.

Would that be Nate Fyfe?

In Dunstall's case width?

You mean gorilla dressed up as a bloke.

 

god i wish we'd recruited dunstall. imagine him as part of that late 80s / early 90s side alongside stynes, lyon, tingay, g lovett, b lovett, wight et al.

 

anyway, back to oliver...

 

was he better nab2 or nab1? probably more spectacular nab 2, with the mark and the big long sweeping handballs?

Parish is Essendrugs Toumpas

That club is going to get hit with the karma bus in every possible way

Nah, Parish can actually win a contested ball, Toump couldn't/can't win a contested possession to save himself.

Yep, there was a bit of consternation around picking a bolter who didn't play in the nationals but I'm happy to say the recruiting team have got this one right. They haven't done much wrong since Taylor came on board and I think it's an area of our club that definitely deserves some praise, especially turning around from where they came.

Well done for backing themselves and not getting caught up in the hype of Parish, a player who we definitely would've picked a few years ago. Targeting these big bodied, aggressive players has been a real focus and will see us be one of the more hard-nosed teams in the coming years.

I wanted us to get Weideman somehow,  & if we manged to snavel a mid before, then great.  We got Wiedeman,  & this other kid I never heard of,  prior to the weid. :rolleyes:

People here are getting stuck into Parish?

Ridiculous. 

Indeed.

Hardly getting stuck into Parish.

Would some like to see that, can be arranged..

Parish seemed a likely choice until a better came along. Essendrug will parade him out..poor chap...in for a thrashing.

Care factor...... :rolleyes:

How could Hogan ever leave Jones, Vince, Viney, Tyson, Petracca, Brayshaw, Oliver, Kent, Gawn...

Why do people insist on putting Kent in this group?

My Brother told me this afternoon that he'd pay to watch Petracca train (he was at Gosch's today) and that he's the most exciting talent he's seen come to Melbourne since Jakovich.

Best of all, they're all different and will complement each other.  Petracca, Oliver, Brayshaw and Viney will be as good as it gets in 4 years time.

Add in Salem and you've got the most exciting midfield in the comp if you can keep them together and on the park.

Petracca - Oliver - Brayshaw  - Viney or all of the above. 

It's actually outrageous when you think about the access to top end talent our club has had*:

Petracca: Pick 2

Oliver: Pick 4

Brayshaw: Pick 3

Viney: could easily have gone first round.

Salem: Pick 9

Tyson: Pick 3

These guys will make a formidable group in two to three years time. Keep them all together, on the park and they will take us close to the ultimate. Big call, but these guys all have elite traits that compliment each other. I think we might just be seeing the formation of something special.

Oh and the cherry on top at the end of this year? Dion Prestia. ;)

Parish has put on a bit of size since draft day. He'll be a strong midfielder.

I hate Parish because he plays for Essendon. I also hated Ben Kennedy up until last years trade period because he played for Collingwood.

Hogan?

It feels quite bizarre that we also have another top 10 KPF who is being largely ignored on here for the time being.

yes! and that KPF was considered an even higher prospect before injury took a bit of his shine off.. will be exciting when he gets a bag at Casey

Haven't seen Petracca on the park yet, but this blokes the most exciting player I've seen pull on a Dees jumper since I first saw Hogan.

I have seen Petracca on the park at training and I doubt that you will be disappointed when he plays his first match.

Watts - pick 1

Trengove - pick 2

Hogan (Scully#1 compensation?)

also Kennedy was pick 10 for the Pies (before we swapped for Howe/Toumpas#3)

p.s. And Tyson was originally pick 2 when GWS drafted him

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
