Reckon you might be right in the end.

I'll stick my neck out and agree here as well.

 

Can anyone tell me, particularly Western Australians, what they think of Deven Robertson, please?

Is it likely we will go for Serong with pick 3?

He does sound fairly enticing and will be ready to go round 1 as a small forward one would think.

Slightly concerning his height of 177cm.... but that never stopped Cyril Rioli who is the same height.

At 178cm you might be on to something. Prefer a little more height thanks.

He is a gun though.

I think the other reason we might be looking to split the pick, is to grab one of the rucks.   There is some very good early ruck talent.

I was looking through some of the early phantom drafts and power ranking lists and noticed that there was a definite leaning or bias towards players from Victoria. 

This is despite the fact that the Under 18 NAB AFL Championships were won this year by Western Australia. In Cal Twomey’s September Draft Rankings, not a single  player from the winners made the top ten. 

Last year, it was South Australia that won the championship and that state provided three of the top five draftees. On that basis it might be worthwhile to take a closer look at the talent from WA given that state’s strengths in the national competition.

The Croweaters also did well this year and one player from their team who has attracted my eye because he has all the attributes we need in a young midfielder - a good mix both inside and out, endurance and pace and a good user of the ball. 

I think Dylan Stephens who has been mentioned by a few posters might be a player who could be in line for selection, more so if the club manages to split pick 3.

AFL Draft Wrap: SA midfielder Dylan Stephens firms as top-10 selection

Well said WJ, the WA crop this year is a very good bunch, youve got small forwards in Taylor and Henry and Taylor is a strong overhead mark. Quality players and leaders in Robertson and Rivers, Sharp is very good by foot and in decision making, whilst Jackson is a ruckman with good skills for a bigman and another leader

I like him  he's not a superstar but he knows how to find the footy and oozes workrate, He's not unlike Joel Selwood in terms of his leadership, desire to get the best out of himself and put his body on the line. Not quite as good but the potential is there. The Eagles and Freo would both snap him up with their second round pick.

Thanks mate. Whenever I see a West Aussie midfielder projected to go in the mid first round that doesn't seem to get the same attention as others, I just think Cripps. The WA teams also seem to have this knack of 'hiding' some of the best WA talent.

Yeah without the TAC cup here they are able to hide them with only cameo appearances in the Champs and the PSA boys being tied to their school footy so much  you only get to see them occasionally in WAFL Colts. 

There's a lot of very good young boys starting to come through here now, the mining boom saw a big baby boom between 2004 and 2010, which co-incided with greater emphasis going into development across the board.

I'm gonna have to politely disagree with you on that one Paulo.

fair chance your right, i just question youngs 1on1 ability and also his pace, where i like goulds aggression, overhead marking, and he is also quick for his size.

whould you rather young at pick 3

or weightman and gould if we split the pick ?

TBH, i'm not a fan of trying to split the pick. I reckon we should try and draft Kemp (big call i know) or Young at 3 and try and try and get another pick in the top 20 and hope like hell that Weightman is still there.

Young and Weightman would help improve our kicking and small forward needs.

I'd be happy with anyone from 7-11 if we got them with pick 8. Young with Pick 3 would be my go to pick.

If GWS get a pick before having to match Green, wouldn't be surprised to see them grab Jackson. I know clubs don't generally draft rucks early but they need a good one coming through and he's been likened to Grundy.

 

If Serong slips that far, I'd grab him as our small forward at 8. Still think Taylor will pick Weightman at 8, and hopefully one of Young/Stephens/Kemp at 3/6.

Weightman would be risky

If we want Weightman we need to split 6 or 8 with Geelong for 14 and 17 and get an extra player out of it. Doubt any other team would pick a small forward (that is not Cyril Rioli) before 15. It would be crazy to take him at 8.


i do like the look of stephens would certainly be happy to take him at 3. he looks as if he can give us some run around the ball and up forward.  kemp also looks good downside being his already out for the year.

Hope they take Young & Stephens if available. Naturally they'll take both Serong & Weightman tho ?

Patrick Cripps is a WA boy, now captain of Carlton. No problem there.

 

Kemp #3 and Gould at #8 for me. I know we don't address our small forward problem with those picks, but you don't draft for list holes, you draft for the best players.

Young and Ash for me.

based purely on the 2 mins highlight packages ?‍♂️

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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.

    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.
