Is it just me or does Max Gawn increasingly remind anyone else of "Treebeard" from LOTR?

    Just got a tweet back from Brett Anderson who was very emphatic about Oliver going to Dee's with first pick. Looks like we can take that one to the bank

    Ohh the guy who emphatically stated no less than a week ago that Curnow would be our first picked, that guy?

    We could very well end up selecting Oliver but Brett Anderson would have just as much clue as you or I.

    i recall him saying that we should take curnow not that we will. It was his opinion. He's a Dee's supporter so may know something. Was just saying how certain his response was

    I don't mind that, as its his way of acknowledging his woeful performance in 2015.

    That's the way I read it, almost like an apology, sorry about that, i'll do better

    I love Gawny at the end, gave me goosebumps. Geez I'd love to see Trenners get back on the park. That would be a must see game IMO.

    Is there any reason to believe it won't be round 1, 2016?

    That's who he wanted, he has clarified that.

    TRENNERS PETRACCA AND OLIVER take Center quare round 1 2016 would be a sight

    Trenners on the ground ( picked ) would be a sight

    You can't choose Oliver in this competition to guess who Melbourne will draft.

    bu you can choose the obvious top 2 picks and two academy players

    Heard Worsfold interviewed just now...sound very much like they will take a tall at 4 or 5. Could mean Weidman will be gone by 7.

    well the obvious answer should be callum mills as our first pick :lol: (they don't say successful)

    oliver has to come under "others" and that only has 5.2%

    No Nathan Jones or Bernie Vince?

    i expect Petracca to play mostly as a forward next year, Trenners i very much see as an inside mid and Oliver may not have the tank to play a whole lot of midfield minutes just yet

    Same and will be very dangerous.

    Can't watch, briefs on what he says would be appreciated.

    Summary of Goodwin's comments:

    -Will pick best available at 3 & 7.

    -There are 5-6 players at 3 they are interested in.

    -Won't reach for a tall player will pick best player at 7. Satisfied with current tall stocks due to drafting King, McDonald & Frost in recent years.

    -Have not put any strategy into what other teams will pick, they will pick best available at 3 & see who falls through to 7

    -Had no player in mind when setting up picks 3 & 7 as they want to get as much top end draft talent while they can.

    -Reiterated that if a tall is available they won't reach for the tall player they will draft strictly best available talent.

    Worshfold was also a massive wrap for Parish, so I highly doubt he will last to pick 7.

    Worsefold wants Ollie so his trying to talk like he wants every player except Ollie in hope that we pass. They will leave one of Parish Weidermann or Francis for us to swoop on.

    Whoever we don't take at 3 out of Parish and Oliver will go at 4 to the Bombers. They'll then take Francis.

    So our options around 7 will be Weid, Ah Chee, Curnow and Milera. Sounds like the club will pursue a midfielder as they can be better judged from raw talent than talls.

    This is correct, Worsfold is on the record sayin Clayton Oliver or bust and they will refuse to use the draft picks on anyone else

    • 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.
