Simple fact is he was rated 20-30 by most experts. We took him at 9 because he was 'tough'.

Not sure if you remember seeing him play, but never showed anything of note. Brad Miller showed a lot more from day dot.

 

Brad Miller would always lead well and take good marks but on most occasions he seemed to then try and pass it off as he didn't have the confidence to line up for goals himself. To me he also had unrealised potential.

    Hulett was impressive. He gathered possessions in defense as well as up forward, he marked well and competed well. The best game I have witnessed from him and the first time I have felt confident that he will make it to the next level.

    In reply to question about whether Hulett is ready to replace Dawes, Demonlanders provided the above answers. Come on, guys, this isn't good enough. How will our selectors know who to choose if we can't provide them with consistent advice?

    We need Declan Keilty and Tim Smith at the Dee's. Keilty is 21 and is improving every game. Is versatile and can play in multiple positions. At 25 Smith is a great mark and kick for goal. Would do well playing next to Hogan.

    Agree Declan Kielty I was very very impressed with this guy! Sheeit he is better than a few playing ones at present! Make that Period!

    Can anyone name one club that said they would have taken Cook in the first round? Most of the creditable draft watchers had him 25+. Terrible pick.

    He was a stab in the dark by a recruiter that didn't know which end of the knife to hold.

    I think there was some talk that North would take him with their first (late teens i think theirs was), but most mock drafts had him 20s-50s. I felt sick when his name was called out by us.

    The responses to the Hulett question were not totally opposed. One was responding to whether he was ready to replace Dawes now! My response was related to his long term prospects.

    Why would you even try to defend such an obviously bad selection? Do you just like to be contrary and argue for the sake of it, anyone with any knowledge of football knows he was a massive failure and it wasn't between the ears it was simply a lack of ability.

     

    Who is defending?

    I said his issue was between the ears, he had natural ability, did you watch him as a junior? I did

    I was just pointing out to some of the posters on here, who obviously have been picked up by clubs desperate for recruiters who get every decision right, stuff the lack of development, that some considered Cook a late 1st round pick

    Wow, those numbers tell me Pedo did enough to get a game this week, yet nobody seems to have rated his performance. Deceptive stats? Perhaps a goal or two may have got him over the line, but with Spence going down in 1st quarter he would have played mostly ruck?

  • Quote

    Not sure it has been mentioned, but Casey recruiting Fevola set Cook's development back considerably IMO.

    I saw the Geelong v Casey game on the same day as the 186 debacle. Casey went in as favourites. It may have been 4th versus 4th bottom.

    Fev played FF with Cook in the pocket. The few times the ball entered Casey's forward line Fev demanded the ball be passed to him, and rebuked any team mate that failed to do so.

    Casey got belted (a ten goal to nil first quarter didn't help). Cook hardly managed a kick. Fev was dragged (I can't remember the reason, but he certainly wasn't a team player)

    Just sayin'

    Every time I look at Weideman, I see Michael Newton. Same build with those broad shoulders, same running gait.  I am also worried that Weideman, like Newton is just a straight line, mark & kick player.

    Seems to lack agility, lateral movement & aggression. 

    Gee, I hope I'm wrong. 

    Pretty sure your Wrong

    Ive seen a bit of him live and on TV

    He's smart and courageous just lacks size and strength  he will grow heaps over the next twelve months

    his father and grandfather had the best builds for   Key  position players  you could ask for

    But what do I know 

    aways thought  Juice would make it LOL

    Two Casey matches on TV in incredibly windy conditions and apparently the Weed turns into a cross between Cook and Juice!

    3. Hulett will play senior football this year. Probably the last two rounds like we did with Oscar last year. They'll probably get him to play the forward/2nd ruck role. His improvement as the season has gone on has been impressive.

    Angry and wayne- has Hulett actually done any relief ruck work?  Looks a monster physically?

    Hasn't needed to, with a combination of Spencer, Pederson, Max King and Keilty there this year, and at least one of them generally resting up forward.

    Don't say that around the Newport kiddie train ride.

    All the staff have changed since those days  as they will tell you.

    Anyone know which draft we picked Weideman up in and when, please? Was it after 31st October 2015?

    In hindsight was that? Suggest you go back and look at some of the posts that were here, hypocrisy is raising it's head again in some of the posts re Cook

    As Demon Dave said, he hasn't needed to, but did a bit of it in the under18's.

    Would be worth seeing what he's got to offer IMO.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
