Pity he had to fluke that shot in '87....

Completely agree WTM. Even a broken clock is right twice a day, Phuckinara has been riding the 2004 coattails for way too long. Pelchen did it too, and like Pelchen, he will eventually drift into irrelevance (can't come quick enough).ย 

Even Pretenderghast picked out Gawn, which goes to show, it is just as much, if not more about developing that raw talent once they are in the door, than it is identifying it. Who knows how Gawn would have turned out if not for Paul Roos & Co.

ย 

I don't know anything about any of the potential draftees this year but I know that as evidenced by the trading of Watts and Hogan we want players who are committed to being the best they can be and are utterly competitive.

I'd be interested to know from those underage watches who fits these categories around our picks.ย

Pretty sure Buckenara's columns are ghost written. Yes, he has no idea, but columns are probably 'written' by the HS intern!

It was more to do with his draft rankings.ย 

He had Kieran Collins ranked at 3 in 2015.

Yes not sure Buckenara has been to Specsavers!!

ย 

Chayce Jones at 10 (too low),ย Luke Valente at 28 (too high) and Ely Smith at 31 (way too high) were surprising.ย 

Bedford at 34 would be too early for a nomination. Heโ€™s fast and skilled but needs 2+ years development. ย 

I just donโ€™t see it with Valente. I think heโ€™s too slow to be an effective AFL player. A bloke like Jordan Lewis might get by at that speed now, but he hasnโ€™t always been that slow.


Valente is the same speed as Salem, Brayshaw & Harmes. ย Not a jet but not slow. ย Definitely top 20 rated for me. His efficiency in disposal doesย remind me of Salem. ย ย

No chance, heโ€™s a lot slower than those named & doesnโ€™t have enough of the other attributes to compensate.

Iโ€™ll put it this way - he may show leadership skills, but heโ€™s more like a poor manโ€™s Luke Dunstan. Would you recruit Luke Dunstan to MFC? I wouldnโ€™t.

From limited viewing I agree. Looks like the kind of player who usually drifts out to 30+, gets talked up in the media due to leadership and good performance. That said, it's often a fine line between the Jack Graham and Worpel types and the Mathieson/Dunstan types who aren't quick or skilled enough.

Reminds me. Time for my first phantom draft and itโ€™s no surprise that a few South Australians figure very highly.ย 

From the POV of the Dees, we are unlikely participants in the top 10 of the draft which is fine by me since we have Jake Lever instead.

However, that said, this yearโ€™s batch of players coming into the system is looking very strong.

My top 10:-

1. Izak Rankine โ€“ West Adelaide (SA)
2. Jack Lukosius - Woodville West-Torrens (SA)
3. Max King โ€“ Sandringham Dragons
4. Connor Rozee โ€“ North Adelaide (SA)
5. Ben King โ€“ Sandringham Dragons
6. Sam Walsh โ€“ Geelong Falconsย 
7. Ian Hill โ€“ Perth (WA)
8. Jye Caldwell โ€“ Bendigo Pioneers
9. Jack Bytel โ€“ Calder Cannons
10. Matt Green โ€“ Sporties Spitfires (NT)

Take a bow Chelly - picked the first six drafted in January (although not necessarily in the correct order).

Thanks for the kudos Andy - I stand by my original order. Gold Coast have a bonanza with Rankine and Lukosius.

I don't know what happened to Matt Green.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
