Stop bashing your opinions over people's heads and get off your high horse, PR states the kids didn't get developed properly PR is a premiership coach on 1.5 million a season , you and I are numbers on a footy forum so in saying that I think I will stick with what PR says about Baileys development program's .

It doesn't have to be one without the other, middy.

You are both correct. As is PR.

The list of players rpfc is referring to were poor choices and in my opinion would not have been A-graders anywhere.

BUT, there was also a very poor development program at the club in which players, including above mentioned , were not developed properly.

Poor draft picks not developed properly will just be poorer than they would've been otherwise.

Gysberts, cook, magic etc were NEVER going to be guns.

Wiser than you look Mungason

People with better memories can let me know if I've got the timings wrong but... I seem to recall Voss, with no fear for his safety, going for a ball full tilt against West Coast in Perth and breaking his leg. It was almost hyper courage (yeah, that's right, hyper courage!)and I'm trying to remember if it was before their golden run. I think it was.

The old 'I'm entitled to my opinion and therefore don't have to listen to alternative viewpoints' card. Played with finesse, Middy.

You seem to be a decent poster mate, but I struggle to read anything you've written thanks to the one, two punch from your avatar and username combo.

So picks 3 and 7.

From the various things I have seen and read about this year's draftees, I hope we take Parish and Curnow.

While I haven't seen a lot of Parish, from what I have seen, he just looks like he oozes class and also has a hardness to his game. Would be great if he were a few cm's taller but not all mids have to be 188cm plus. What he lacks in height, he appears to make up for in skill and decision making.

Once again, while I have only seen limited footage, Curnow looks and sounds like he could be anything. At worst I think he will be a great target with safe hands alongside Hogan. At best, I think he is the closest thing to Bontempelli in this draft, in that he also has the potential to dominate through the midfield.

The whispers would suggest the club is very much interested in both of them.

What makes you lean towards Curnow more that Wiedeman, ben? Is it his injury concerns or does Curnow offer more versatility? Haven't seen much of either.

I also haven't seen much of either but the reasons you have mentioned is why I'm leaning more towards Curnow.

If Brett Anderson's on the money then i suspect it'll be Curnow & Oliver with the other option being Parish/Weideman. Curnow/Oliver is probably the safer option with Parish/Weideman having greater upside.

No, you don't.

It doesn't really matter, but if you care so much about how others treat you on here, have some self-reflection with what you type.

I really hope we don't pass up Darcy Parish for Curnow,

Parish is exactly what our midfield needs, and Curnow is a good chance to be there at 7 anyway.

I had such good vibes about Toumpas that I don't trust anything about the draft these days. Just happy we've landed a few champions in Brayshaw, Viney and vandenBerg.

As did I JH and Lucas Cook before him (I wish I was joking). But life moves on and I have replaced Jimmy as my favourite player with ANB. Why not do the same? Go to your user profile and under favourite player type Dean Terlich. You won't regret it.

Autocorrect, man.

Parish seems a lock for 3.

Then Curnow for 7 if available.

And if not him, I'd be happy with Oliver or Balic (assuming Weideman and Francis have also been picked up).

That seems logical RB but do any of us really have any idea? It's possible we have decided, say, Francis is vital to us going forward or Carlton is opting for Curnow (probably not) thereby changing everything.

    Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5 The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club. Date of Birth:  22 July 1997 Height:  189cm Games MFC 2024:  21 Career Total: 183 Goals MFC 2024: 3 Career Total: 54 Brownlow Medal Votes: 5

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury. Date of Birth: 4 J

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward. Date of Birth: 16 April 2003 Height: 193cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 41 Goals MFC 2024: 30 Career Total: 58 Brownlow Medal Votes: 1

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    2024 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0
