I am confused. I thought we needed pacey mids with outside game. However, we got a bull and three big guys. I am just confused. Not critical. I would trust those in the know

    How many friends does Jesse need?

    Interesting selections given that many on here we're thinking - with some justification - that we still need mids, mids and more mids.

    But we didnt need mids, mids and more mids. That was a myth.

    We stocked up on them in the 2013 and 2014 drafts.

    Maybe our recruiting team just wanted to stimulate some angst on this board :-)

    Melksham,Kennedy,Bugg and Oliver Four mids ready to play

    Wiedeman and Hulet Two forwards

    Mitch King One Ruckman

    Pretty balanced

    Maybe there is a Prestia coming and next year we go mids and pace. Also we added Kennedy.

    J Taylor on Hulett: He could develop into a strong key forward, as he has good hands overhead. He’s a good set-shot kick at goal. #AFLDraft

    Dont mind this pick at all. We know the draft tapers off here and have taken some talls to develop.

    He only played a few games this year.

  • Quote

    Anyone know exactly what type of injuries have held him back?

    A 193cm utility whose top-up year in the TAC Cup was cruelled by an ankle injury that restricted him to just two outings for the Dandenong Stingrays this year. He played mainly for his local club at Bonbeach, but the recruiters were intrigued enough to ask that he play in the Young Guns game last August. Usually a ruck/forward, he played at centre half-back and showed promise running the ball out of the backline.

    Ankle doesn't sound sooo bad. But I guess it must have been to keep him out a year. Hopefully its behind him.

    actually it's under him :)

    Precisely Dr D and if Garlett and the like can't have a field day feeding off these blokes they never will.

    Hulett showed flashes in his games, I reckon we'll look at him as a key back. Stingrays thought he was a chance late on, but otherwise thought he'd be back as 19yo with a chance to go much higher in '16 than where we picked him.

    I know Saints did a tonne of work on him.

    Jarrod knows his Stingrays, this on Hulett:

    @ChaserJay When fit he would've been elite in TAC Cup. Ruck and forward ala Tippett.

    Hopefully plays a little like Jack Darling

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
