NATIONAL DRAFT PICKS 3 & 7


Lucifers Hero

Recommended Posts

Very confident two of Curnow, Francis or Parish will be ours.

Will even go as far to say I reckon we'll have Francis at 7!

For me it's a quesation of Parish or Curnow at 3.....

My reasoning is that Essendon will take whichever of Parish or Curnow we pass at 3 with their Pick no 4.

Will likely take Weideman at 5, Mathieson dark horse if they want a midfielder.

Gold Coast I reckon wants Millera at 6.

Francis ours at 7.

Mathieson just looks like a grunt player who doesn't provide much else from my limited viewing.

A bit like Matt Crouch.

Parish and Francis. Please.

That's what they also said about Ollie.

Please MFC Don't make the same mistake again

And Mathieson

Have you ever seen him play 'olisik'? you keep repeating the plays like Lewis mantra that some amateur draft watcher labelled him with. These likenesses are usually way off track.

e.g.:Toumpas is a little bit like Jimmy Bartel, in that he is excellent in the clinches, lifts for big games and can play through injury, as highlighted by his performances throughout the U/18 Championships, when he had a dodgy hip. But unlike Bartel, Toumpas possesses great speed,

or knightmare comparing him to Luke Hodge...

While I take your point, Essendon have been very keen on Francis as have GC. I dont think that he drops considering how much they have been interested all year. I know that SA boys tend to go under the radar but I think he is too talented to drop that far. Would love him though.

I think Weiderman drops to us at 7 as Milera had an amazing finals series in the SANFL. At this stage though De Goey was still a teens pick and so was Bontempelli. Ahern came out of nowhere as well. Seems too high for McKay, Ah Chee might go up the draft order as well, there are words on Hibbard but I dont see him near a top 10 talent. Tucker and Matherson should be around there as well.

I dont think we will be surprised on draft night though. Our club knows who goes at Pick 1, 2, 3, and 6. I assume they have an inclining at 4 and 5, but I'm sure we should know in the next week or so who will go where.

Someone on the big footy board who is connected to the Geelong Falcons seems to think Goodwin is keen on Parish and has been for a while. I'd be surprised if we didn't pick him.

Im pretty sure "Song formally known as" also mentioned exact same thing?

EDIT just saw your comment..

Yes, he is your typical midfielder. He won't stand out like a star but will get the job done for the next 10 years. We can never have enough of these type of players. Has much better footy smarts then Curnow and knows how to find the ball.

Kicking can be improved but [censored], said the same about Ollie. This kid is competitive and that can't be taught as we have seen with Watts ToumpAs Cook ect

Ollie was built like a bull and his hands were also always really good.

I'll put my hand up for wanting Toumpas ahead of Wines that year but I just can't see the Mathieson/Wines comparison other than that they're both competitors.

We need more than that from our picks though. We have a host of competitive players/mids now. We need class, kicking skills and footy smarts as well as a player who is competitive and that shouldn't be too hard to ask for especially at pick 3.

Pick 7 will be decided on a 'who's left' basis.

More like Dunstan than Ollie to me, a bit of a vanilla mid and we can find them later...

If we picked Curnow at 3, Parish would be almost certainly snapped up @ 4 or 5, the Druggies might also be inclined to take Francis.

Curnow + Weideman would be a good draft result.

Curnow + Francis would be a good result, Parish + Curnow would be a good result, Parish + Francis, would be a good result, Weideman +......................you get the drift. There is no wrong combination imo.

Those who will start to worry about making the wrong choice again, take a chill pill. I'd rather we have the balls to take a chance again than let doubt take hold of us (seriously, step up). I'll back Taylor to the hilt with who he picks, it seems to have gone pretty well so far.

When in doubt just select who Hogan wants, so he can quickly sign on for a long-term deal. If that is the catalyst, then we have already won.

A Parish/Mathieson double would suit me fine, although wouldn't be disappointed if we drafted Francis or Curnow either.

Decisions, decisions...

We are definitely taking a KPF with one of the picks, nothing is surer

Reckon we need a tall at the pointy end of the draft. We're not a very tall side and we have a couple of NQR talls on our list presently.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
