Plus I don't think it's a lock that we take Parish. I think there is a little bit of water to go under the bridge yet, and we may see someone like Oliver, who is much more likely to be available at #7, as someone who can contribute in the same way Parish can. That means we may take someone like Curnow at #3 instead with the view to possibly pairing him with Hogan in a few years time.

    Fair enough.

    Just comes across like you're putting down all these people's opinions, people who know far more than us, without providing any reasoning for it.

    Show me where I've put anyone's opinion down.

    I don't rate him much at all.

    I won't lose a nanoseconds sleep over Emma's ratings.

    As I said, just comes across like you rate your opinion far higher than people who you've admitted know more than you.

    Take it on board, don't take it on board... Up to you.

    Comes across that PD rates other peoples opinions higher than Emma Quayle or Knightmares to me.

    I rate Quigley, Chris, Snoop Dog, and others ahead of the prolific Knightmare. But I hasten to add that it doesn't mean I wish Knightmare any harm in this life or the next. It just means I have an opinion of his opinion.

    And not losing "a nanoseconds sleep" over Emma's ratings doesn't mean I don't read her, respect her, or consider her opinions invalid, it means I have more faith in our full-time recruiting staff to get things right.

    Fair enough then. It's funny, this year has been the first in ages here I haven't followed potential draftees and mock drafts etc really closely due to my renewed faith in the recruiting staff.

    Who would your top 10 be PD?

    You're a dill, Stu.

    I've already explained that I wasn't knocking Emma. The only poster on BF who I believe is overrated is Knightmare and it's easy to form such a conclusion when I've had access to his posts for years. Just as I've had access to the others who I rate.

    Why do you need to be spoon fed the bleeding obvious, Stu ?

    What, you're editing people's posts when you quote them now? That's a whole new level.

    Ah well, two can play at that I guess...

    No skullduggery, Stu.

    I accidently started posting in the post I was quoting (your post) and then deleted too far (back over your comments) and had to try to remember what your quote was. I didn't bother scrolling up.

    Not that it mattered or changed the context much.

    Ignore for you, Stu. Both of our lives will be happier. Well, maybe not yours.

    Actually, Emma used to be pretty good before she got into the media, and that is no knock on her for moving up in the world - just means she has changed her methodology. She appears to have moved away from assessing players based on her own point of view, towards assessing players based more on the view of recruiters, which is ok, it gives us fans an inkling into who certain clubs might take. Obviously Knightmare has a more hands on approach to his work, he gets out there a lot. I don't think he would claim to be any better than anyone else, but from a fans perspective - he is relevant, and probably the best armchair scout going around.

    He's prolific, but in my view not the best.

    Quigley is brilliant and there are others like Scoopdog, who I rate.

    You've got a thick skin Armstrong, I'll give you that

    On Demonland you either grow another layer of skin or another face... I know which one of those a lot here have done.

    But we can't get Quigley's stuff anymore can we?

    He hasn't participated the last year or two. Not sure why.

    Snoop Dog Phantom published yesterday:

    Snoop Dog 2015 Phantom National and Rookie Draft

    Lot's of detail, interesting picks for us.

    I find it interesting that Curnow didn't test well with ball use according to Snoop Dog. Needs work IMO on his left by hand/foot; particularly hand.

    Gives great insight. Good read.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
