Don't mind this pick. Must say i was a little surprise as i had him down for a rookie spot. But thats based on his lack of exposure. The games i saw this year i couldn't take my eye off Oliver (you be

Forget to add a little something. After the draft I sent an email to my close friend who works with the Murray Bushrangers under 18s development and I asked him about King and this is what I got..

Seems to have great hands based off the highlights. His disposal actually looks good 2nd time watching. I keep expecting him to shank it as his ball drop looks slowish. But he hits a target and makes good desicions. His marking was great and good hand ball skills.

I quite pleased we picked up some talls late.

Athletic Ruckman, former Basketballer. Another one we can work on for a few years. I do question his size given the number of 2m+ giants there are running around these days.

paddy ryder is only 196cm.

and i like the way he palms the ball, none of this drop it to the feet.

This is getting us ready maybe for season 2021.

Such maybe foresight.

I just wouldn't bother. I wish him all the best but so much investment for a maybe 6 years from now?

You've got 3 options for a ruckman I think.

1) Late pick and a list spot plus 5+ years development for a guy who could be anywhere from great to average

2) Trade a middle to late pick for a guy who probably isn't any good and unlikely to get better (a Giles or Curry)

3) Trade a good pick for either a good ruckman with runs on the board who might crash out after 3 or 4 years (a Jolly or Ryder) or a younger prospect who might only be ordinary anyway (Warnock).

I don't mind opiton 1. Yeah it takes a while but you've got 44 list spots for a sport of 22, there's room to use one every few years and you get to develop the guy from the ground up.

Mitch seems very raw and athletic, compared to Flynn anyway who we bid on and is 10kg heavier and more physical.

Really though it's hard to be disappointed when we've got someone in line so we can finally get rid of Spencer!

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
