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.

The little rover that wore the helmet was an outstanding player as well can't remember his name.

I mention him in post #995.

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.

Um, sure. Just the one thing - wtf are you talking about JH?

Ahh, I see. For a moment I thought it was me but, of course, it's you. I feel better JH.

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.

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
