Yet we take Spargo with a top 30 pick, a slow midget with no tricks. Not saying Miers is the answer to all our problems, but there have been some bizarre selections over the past couple of drafts.

I bet you weren’t saying the same thing late last year

Spargo really was a strange pick. I'm sure they preferred him over someone like Miers as he was also a midfielder in his underage years. The trouble is, Spargo will never be a midfielder at AFL level. This might seem strange as he played some solid games last year, but these small players so often come in and have promising first seasons and then don't show much improvement. Our very own JKH is a prime example of this. I know a lot of people on here rate Spargo quite highly, where do those people see him playing throughout his career?

The more I look deeper into our recruitment the more I question it, which is strange because at the same time I think we are very well placed for the future. I just think with everything we have had at our disposal we could be even better now with better recruitment and list management decisions (and I see them very much as the same thing, so the we wouldn't have drafted Josh Kelly doesn't really work, thats a cross against Jason Taylor for not identifying his elite talent).

Another one missed. Add Charlie Constable. 

Miers was predicted as a 20-30 draftee. Went # 57

Constable was predicted as a 15-20 draftee. Went # 36. 

Hardly a surprise that both are very good players. 

A modern problem with recruiters, both are players.

Constable is a classic case of a mid who knows how to find the pill, but the knock on him was his lack of pace. They focused on what he couldn't do rather on his ball winning assets.

I rate Spargo who IMO has a good footy brain. He would have looked decent round 1 and 2 in that Cats forward line

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
