I'd say Weitering is an absolute lock for 1 but what if Brisbane took someone else at 2?

Would we take Schache at 3?

The bloke that looks like the second coming of Taller Matthew Lloyd?

Maybe...

Don't know.

    Oliver is a better clearance player. Won the Morrish Medal off of a very limited pre-season.

    Agree with you here.

    If after we take Parish at 3, then Curnow, Francis & Weideman are taken from 4 - 6 then I'd be keen on us taking Oliver who's a complete beast or potentially Tucker.

    Regardless of what he looks like becoming. It seems from all reports we are heavily into Parish so it may not be that clear cut.

    I think the end result of the top ten is wide open this year.

    Apparently the Saints were a lock to take Petracca until the last couple of days last year too.

    I really don't know. I don't follow the juniors - I am just one of the people that is interested to find out which player taken AND RATED in the teens turns out to be in the top 3 playerd from this draft 4 years from now...

    I hope we actually take the third and seventh best kid.

    Fair enough.

    IMO that players is/will be Riley Bonner.

    I hope who we take at 3 & 7 end up being the 1st & 2nd best kids.

    Yeah, but I will take 3rd and 7th...

    Yes we would definitely take him at 3. Brisbane won't give us that opportunity though

    There is zero chance Schache slips past Brisbane. They are crying out for a tall forward and he actually wants to play for them.

    If they did pass on him it would be the worst drafting blunder.

    I think the Tigers actually do (Tambling and Oakley-Nicholls).

    Nah.. the selection of Toumpas over Ollie Wines is officially a massive debacle..

    Hard to go past taking Fiora ahead of Pavlich.

    not just us then as how many other teams didn't pick him ?

    Ollie Wines to Melbourne was just made to happen though. Family friends with the Viney and hrew up with Jack from his Moama days.. Wines and Viney would have set our midfield up for 10 ywars..

    Sigh..

    Dude - Tambling ahead of Buddy. No contest.

    Atleast Richmond got 108 games out of tambling and made a contribution every now and then..

    We got absolutely SFA back..

    Tambling was not great but surely Cook takes the prize. A number 12 pick who never came close to playing AFL footy and we delisted not traded.

    I get it, you don't actually want the 3rd and 7th best kid in this draft , you want the kids in this draft that will turn out to be the 3rd and 7th best in 4 years time?

    Righto then, that should be easy..... :roos:

    Nah, screwing up top 5 picks are the true moments of pain and frustration.

    Tambling is worse than Toumpas; we could have eked out 150 games out of Jimmy.

    The pain comes in the opportunity cost. And Wines is excellent, but the Tigers had a chance to set themselves up for a decade and chose a very good HBF and mediocre wingman. Hawthorn chose two bookends and the rest of awful history that we are still living.

    Ok i concede the tiges take the prize for missing a once in a generation player for a once a year one.

    But surely we deserve a prize for sustained excellence in recruiting blunders. Sort of a lifetime achievement thing. The Barry award.

    Richmond also got a 1st rd pick and 3rd rd pick for Tambling from Adelaide. We got SFA for Toumpas.

    I'd have thought Mitch Thorp over Joel Selwood would be the clincher.

    A prime example of how whingeing about fluffed draft picks is pointless.

    Work with what you've got.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
