I will be keeping a close eye on Kielty, Petty, Spargo, Maynard, Chandler and Jordan.

The biggest attraction of this game will be finding Goodwin in the crowd and giving him a spray up close.

Can you keep a close eye on Oskar Baker too please - more likely to crack a game before any of the last 3 you mention IMO

 

thx

Kielty-might make it

Petty-too skinny and too raw

Spargo-no pace and can't find the goals

Maynard-vanilla with no pace

Chandler-likely prospect

Jordan-dud

You noticed it too, WWSW? I really like the line of attack and that backline is the best selection of the year. 

i wouldn't write Jordan off he is the youngest on the List...............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Petty I think can make it in time - but probably needs exactly that - time. It's a bit weird though that some people are happy to let Weideman learn to be a footballer taking space up in the ones but not Petty who in my mind would most likely contribute just as much

Bit harsh on Spargo - he does need to build an engine and play midfield rather than undersized small forward  

Chandler I have not seen so can't comment

Concur on the others

For a pick in the 30s he is very underwhelming so far

Can the mods get rid of these school kids like Elegt who continue to berate and spew negative [censored] on every single thread about the same [censored] topic. It is tiresome reading through every thread and seeing that [censored] constant negative drivel.

Go for it, but make sure your standing right next to him when you do so he can see the fear in your eyes as you mumble away

There's a thing called freedom of speech. I expressed my opinion on lack of depth, if you don't like it scroll past 

Jordan was impressive in JLT... of all the newbies he struck me as a good long term prospect... Saying that Petty is skinny shows your lack of knowledge!

He's next on my ignore list.  Happy for people to have differing views when they take a few minutes to present it in a constructive manner.  This bloke just badgers you like a five year old.  Not worth your time.

So Master* Elegt 

You have seen a lot of Jordan up close over a long period to come to this opinion I presume 

* presuming you are male but perhaps you are from Tasmania so haven’t yet had an opportunity to decide

Watched tac cup gf, JLT 1 and vfl game vs AIS and he was underwhelming in all 3. Seems to lack the defensive nous I'd expect from a second round pick. I hope I'm proven wrong and it may be a premature decsion to write him off after three games but he just does not seem like the type of player we needed in last year's draft.

So he is a dud ( offensive term at the worst of times) but for a bottom aged first year player I just cannot respect anyone using such terminology 

PS I too hope you are very wrong 

 

@KC from Casey where is Mykelti Lefau at? I thought with our lack of tall forward options he would be a regular this year. Is he a chance to get a look by AFL clubs this year?

Petty. Jordan. Sparrow are the ones to watch.  They should become good players. 

Chandler is a boy but cheeky smart fwd pocket. Unlikely to make it but fun to watch. 

Bedford is the wildcard. Could be the answer as the elusive magical forward pocket type  I like his pace.

Maynard should be given a go.  I like him above ANB. We need to see if he’s up to the AFL tempo.  If not, then he must be delisted  

Spargo should be traded. He has nothing special.  At 173 cms, he needs much more pace and strength over the footy.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
