We have 3 picks according to afl.com.au

I guess we might pass if we are sticking to two players for whatever reason.

    Are there any rules regarding the promotion of Cat B rookies to the main list and adding someone to long term injury list?

    Maybe that is the reason why we will only take 2, we might be looking at removing Harry O from our primary list and if Smith continues his rate of improvement from last year he will be banging on the door for a senior game early in 2017.

    There is also the possibility that Taylor misspoke as we were only taking 2 in the ND and we are still taking 3 in the rookie draft. Anywho gunning for Brayshaw!

    According to a tweet I just saw: "He is the son of Nick Filipovic, who was the captain of Melbourne Knights in soccer"

    Was appearently named the ruckman of the 2016 TAC team of the year.

    How does Shaun McKernan keep getting drafted?!

    Should I be annoyed that clubs keep drafting him and ignoring me..?

    Only if it annoys you.

    I hope for Ben Jarman's sake, the pass rule doesn't apply in the rookie draft, as Crows just passed.

    I've seen quite a bit of Tim Smith over the years and I'd be very surprised if he was drafted.  He's a good mark at VFL level but beyond that he doesn't have much involvement in the game.  I tend to think at AFL level where defenders are bigger and better he'd struggle to have much impact.

    If he isn't picked up this year you'd think that would be it for him.  It will be interesting to see what happens.

    Does anyone mind if I delete this?

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.

      It's finally Game Day and the Demons, under new head coach Steven King, will run out onto the field with a new looking lineup and a brand new midfield when they take on the Kangaroos this afternoon at Casey.
