Shattered but that's the way it goes. They should of given the priority next year.

So who is it Ash, Serong, Young or someone else? Thoughts?

 

Personally i think Lachie Ash, but the smokey i'd consider is Flanders who i think is going to be very good player. 

young also ticks a lot of boxes. it's really him or Ash for me.

Bid for Tom Green.

If that’s matched (all but certain) I like the look of Young.

 

 

We won't take a Pick 3. We'll trade for a couple of lower first round picks (or some kind of combo with later picks).

Apart from anything else, we need to find a mid second-rounder for Langdon.

Sam Frost pick?


This pick is going to GWS for Toby  Greene, he wants to reunite with his father, after his father's arrest, he wants to understand why he is a cheap shot hero 

 

Tom Greene if it can be done.

Brodie Kemp


Caleb Serong by a country mile if we hold on to pick three, (which I hope we do). 

He's an extremely well rounded player who is exactly what we need in our forward half.

Not our pick 21 (and maybe a future pick back if they figure he is not worth pick 21)?

Is he an elite kick?

Hayden Young, watched a bit of the U18 championships IMO he is the best kick in the draft, meets a need an attacking HBF with a enough pace, good size


We should trade pick 22 and our 2020 first rounder for Langdon and pick 6 which Fremantle get from St Kilda.

Then we take 2 of Young, Serong, Weightman, Flanders and Ash...

Those three names are pretty much who we'll be looking at for pick 3.

A Smokey for this pick will also be Sam Flanders.

Has to be Hayden Young, he's the best kick in the draft, is an elite intercept mark, provides a lot of overlap run and is also very good defensively, he's even shown a contested side to his game this second half of the season. For a HBF has no weaknesses that I can see, reminds me of a taller bachar houli. He's exactly what we need perfect, hibbo replacement and allows Salem to push up on a wing if we need.


Just re Ash, our back half has no speed. May, Lever, Jetta, Salem, Hore are all neat kicks but it's that run and carry which we really lack currently

He's the [censored]. 

Just think of all the smart users. He's not a laser foot, just knows where to put it. 

In today's footy, with the use of zones and screens. knowing where to put and being able to do so (e.g. by weighting the ball  chipping over a wall etc) is more important than a laser like kick.

Just look at how hard tigers made it for gws to get the ball forwa4d of centre.

This is one reason why fritter, who is a beautiful kick, turned it over often when playing back. Struggled to get it to where it needed to go.

Agree and further to it Tigers use laser handballs rather than kicks, sharp, low at the body and creative.

 

i'd be happy with any of Ash, Young, and Serong for pick 3. they all look good players and are not purely inside mid sorts.

but I do think they'll try and split the pick, probably with GWS, and draft a speedy forward type like Cody Weightman or Miles Bergman, and a rebounding half back sort like Will Gould instead. 

Ash to me is exactly what we need, Half back with speed, composure, and a beautiful long kick, he loves to take the game on. 

if you've got him and Salem on the flanks our kicking out of the back half suddenly looks a hell of a lot better. and Hibbo either has a hard time holding his spot or potentially could make the move further up the ground to a wing.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

  • PREGAME: Brisbane

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
