Was just listening to the podcast on the AFL website. I switched it off after Carlton's 2nd pick but it went...

1. Weitering - Carl

2. Schache - Bris

3. Mills - Syd

4. Parish - Melb

5. Hopper - GWS

6. Kennedy - GWS

7. Francis - Ess

8. Weideman - Ess

9. Oliver - GCS

10. Curnow - Melb

11. Milera - Carl

Curnow and Parish would be an amazing result for us.

Thoughts?

Wish it was Parish & Weideman.

Not sure why we wouldn't throw a bid on Hopper after we bid on Mills. We have nothing to lose really.

Except for the fact we have a deal with GWS to not bid on Hopper = added value to our offer for pick 7 & Bugg.

Hence the AFL's half-hearted threat recently in regards to clubs colluding on academy player bidding.

They'll never prove it.

Not sure of the rules but surely you cant bid one more than 1 player per pick

according to rpfc you can

technically the second pick is now at p4, so it is a different pick

e.g. p3 melb bid an academy player, northen team accepts, gets bid 3. our p3 slips to p4

at p4 we bid for another academy player......etc

I know this was discussed in the media a while ago. I thought the consensus was that you couldn't use your pick to keep bidding on all of the players, but I could well be wrong.

As for the predictions, I would probably have the Bombers taking Francis and Curnow with Weideman falling to us, but aside from that pretty much spot on for mine.

Let's put it this way:

We get the first choice & the fifth choice out of Parish, Francis, Weideman, Oliver & Curnow. In terms of their chances of being a future A-grader (which, let's face it, is why we traded up to picks 3 & 7), there's not a lot to choose between them. We each have our own preferences, but they all show a lot of promise but a few concerns.

In this draft, after these guys (and the first two and the academy picks) the chance of picking up a future star falls off a cliff within a few picks.

So it's a good place to be.

They have us missing Oliver which would be disastrous

Just because his name is similar to Ollie doesn't mean anything,

his body of work over the past two years has not been anything like Ollie Wines, at the start of this year he wasn't even tipped to be drafted... he's come from nowhere.

Some interesting points:

- Essendon has shown Parish no love recently according to Cal Twomey. Reading between the lines, they know he won't be available.

- Francis is a Bombers supporter and seems a pretty good fit according to them. No real go home concerns it would seem.

- Sanderson says that a lot of clubs have Curnow in the 10-20 range, but he is a lot more bullish and thinks he could be anything once he's into an elite environment, loses his puppy fat etc.

I think both Curnow and Weideman will go later than many suspect. Both a little over inflated for mine.

Draft always reminds me of the Melbourne Cup. Got to be pretty good to be there but strange things happen.

Priority is attack on the footy, who wins the contested ball the best out of our options, Hogan and Brayshaw great attack on the footy...Toumpas and Watts no attack on the footy. Does anyone know which of our options attacks the footy the best?

Weideman's medical will be interesting 'BB'...hope the Richmond doctor is in on it.

Seems strange that you cannot keep picking after all you have to take the player if the bidding side does not want to match it, so no one is going to be throwing around picks on players they don't actually want. Only being able to select one academy player would mean that you only have one shot at picking one of the top 4 or 5 academy players but can choose any other available players.

I don't know why they did a needs based draft.

They should've just drafted their best players with some consideration to types that clubs usually prefer. In fact if they had gone head to head with a pick each for the top 20 that would've been better.

Twomey's phantom draft will be interesting. Right now it sounds like he's struggling for info big time.

Sanderson seems to really rate Curnow.

It'll be interesting to see who Essendon take.

To be honest, the thought of taking Weideman at 3 and the best available mid at 7 wouldn't bother me. Perhaps we even go for a Bonner or Milera instead to compliment what is now a pretty 'contested heavy' midfield.

Can't stop thinking about a Weideman/Hogan forward line.

We'll pick up mids down the track. Prestia is still coming home remember.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
