Did Hulett make a case for a run next week, maybe ousting Dawes?

No

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.

Handy return to football for Demon Christian Salem. Had 22 touches for the Casey Scorpions reserves team y'day. Jay Kennedy-Harris had 30.

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?

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?

Now there is a thought that is hard to maintain.

Abbey Holmes deserves promotion.

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.

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.
