The main point of my post is that at pick 4 you should be able to pick a player not a dud.

The year before GWS selected Will Hoskin-Elliott at Pick 4 and ended up trading him away for not much more then we got in our Toumpas trade. There's no certainty in drafting.

Plus what we got in the Toumpas/Howe trade went towards our trade for the Oliver pick. So thank god we drafted Toumpas!?

    he gives away frees all the time. a couple of times last night he was penalised for holding. also how angry does he get when things don't go his way? Id hate to see how he was as a kid when his parents said no to him.  

    When you have god on your side, it is natural to assume that an umpire who awards a free against you is a pawn of Satan.

    As for his dive last night, I think it was there, just not as blatant as last week.  Though why dives are considered fine-worthy but head ducking (which is dangerous) is not, is beyond my comprehension.

    Softens? Oliver is far superior to Wines.

    I wasn't suggesting otherwise

    On Rance I don't think he took another dive but gee Im telling you put him 1 on 1 and he gives away frees all the time. a couple of times last night he was penalised for holding. also how angry does he get when things don't go his way? Id hate to see how he was as a kid when his parents said no to him. 

    Anyway melbourne please win because 2nd spot would look good. 

    They might have never said no to him...strikes me as that type of kid.

    Big game...  both teams 7-4 and the loser will be on the edge of the 8.

    Really its just a case of who you hate worst as to who you want to lose.... at least one of them will be in the 8 at seasons end, and its hard to see Geelong not making it.  So I wouldn't mind seeing North lose today and begin their slide down the ladder.

     I hate them both equally.

    But that’s the point, I don’t think he was the right pick at the time . I recall he was injured when we drafted him and he never showed anything over here.  He was rather short and dumpy and was supposed to be an outside mid but was slow. His skills were poor also. I think whether or not we got Ollie he was a poor pick. 

    The main point of my post is that at pick 4 you should be able to pick a player not a dud.

    In hindsight not the right pick, but I think consensus within industry was that he was the "right" pick. Same with Cale Morton.

    Contrast these to Luke Molan (yes very unlucky once drafted but was never expected to be a top 10 player: read here for some of his bad luck http://websites.sportstg.com/assoc_page.cgi?c=1-25-0-0-0&sID=56257&articleID=7430876&news_task=DETAIL) or Nick Smith (the original 426, won played his 4th and last game in our last final, but who more relevantly was picked higher than expected ahead of some more credentialed forwards). 

    Yep we got it wrong and could have been braver (like we were with Oliver), but mistakes like Toumpas and Watts are difficult to avoid based on exposed juniors form.

    Just got told by someone close with GWS That Tom lynch toured facilities there this morning, that’s interesting they would need to drop a player to get lynch maybe Patton might end up on the table

    Was it the opposition change rooms he was spotted in at all?

    Not long to wait. Swans went from South Melbourne to Extremely North Melbourne.

    Kangas will soon be Extremely South Melbourne

    Scrappy first quarter at the spiritual home of footy, Spotless Stadium. 

    Both teams look overwhelmed by the big stage and the rich history of their clashes. 

    Game should pick up if they’re anything like the epic clashes of yesteryear.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
