Would love to get Clark from Wa but that may be a bit of a sore point at the moment. 

 

I get the feeling Taylor has someone very specific in mind. If you look at the points value we drop by making this deal for pick 28.

I'm very interested to see who gets selected with this pick.

I believe it's been reserved for Rankine!

He would need Scully ankles to fall that far in the draft!!

Really think that we will pick up 2 Mids with our picks in the 20's. My guesses would be: Xavier O'Halloran, Ely Smith or Luke Valente. 

We might get another forward in the rookie draft, pre-season draft or a delisted player.

Scankles?

I think there would be a bit of skank in those ankles somewhere. Anyone who whores out for the dollars is a skank in my book!

If we land Valente that would be something else

I think it may be to do with the fact Toby Bedford is an academy prospect.

There's a chance someone would bid before pick 36, but unlikely before pick 28.


I actually think jye Caldwell is a chance to slide. Very talented kid but injury concerns at a young age may put some doubts in recruiters minds for the first round 

I'd like us to get on the line to GWS.  Not sure if they have any high end academy players coming through next year, but maybe we can offer up next years 2nd in combination with one of our 2nd rd picks to get one of their three first rounders.

Would not only get us in the first round, but also give us the flexibility of trading our first round pick next year if we get involved with any of those high profile players coming out of contract (Kelly, Whitfield, Martin, etc.).

 

We've now got key defensive depth and a backup ruckman. Our tall forward stocks are lacking with Hogan and Pederson gone. It's TMac, Weid and Tim Smith. Others options like Frost have been tried forward with no success.

What tall forwards are in this draft outside of those top placed ones like the King bros and Lukocious? Are there options for us in the 20s? This area is now the need for our list.

I pray Butters doesn't get snapped up early. I also like the look of Clarke, Valente, Sturt and McHenry. If we could get Valente and McHenry with 23 and 28 we are in dream land

Jordan Clark will probably get picked by Eagles at pick 20 or 22.  He fits right there and is in the right mould for the Eagles.

Not for me. Valente likely for Crows at 16 or 21. 

McHenry is like a Spargo. Energy but light frame. Small. Goalkicking is average. I think at 23 and 28 there are better midfielders for us (O’Halloran ,Mckenzie ,Ely.Smith , Duursma)

We also can get Bedford who fits the small pacy forward with tackling pressure.

Bedford at 28 seems a bit high. 21 would be about right for Valente. Sturt and Duursma maybe our best bet.

Possibly we could draft late or perhaps rookie Hayden McLean (19yo from Sandringham VFL). Looked promising in 2017 under 18s year and developed again in 2018 versus vfl men. Needs to get more development but handy youngster who has the agility to play key forward. Josh Jenkins type.

Yes I didn’t mean Bedford at 28. He’ll probably get a nomination in the 40s so we will have the use pick 54 points. Or use pick 54 if he lasts. Either way we should draft Bedford so no need to get McHenry.

Who is better Munn or McLean? Where do you see Munn going?

What are your thoughts on Sturt and Duursma?

What are your thoughts on Marty Hore?

field kicking was not overly great either....

Bear with me a bit on this but I wanted to look at the academy impacts on this draft pick:

28 will be pushed out by Blakely, Tarran Thomas, Quaynor and maybe Rhylee West and Bailey Scott.

So pick 28 will become at least 31 and maybe even 33.

Where as pick 36 will be pushed out 3-5 spots but move back at least 1 for Blakely and possibly one for West.

If it's just the 3 picks my guess is we pick with 31 and the pick we gave up becomes 38.

Harder to work out what happens with 46 but it probably stays about the same.

Value wise that's not good for us but I'm sure it's about getting ahead of a bid for Bedford as well as the recruiters being more confident of landing a player in the early 30's than late 30's.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    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 Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’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 isn’t a standard concept—it’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.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’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 wasn’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  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
