Did Freo punk us?

Trade us pick 8, we'll take Dev Robertson, you don't want or need him anyway. Ok done.

Drafts Serong/Stephens, with Carlton taking the other and then leaves us out of the better midfielders?

Except Robertson who may turn out to be the best of them all. I doubt Serong will be in our sights. 

 

Not sure the angst at Pickett at 10. Only 16 players are going to the draft night with Pickett as one of them. Hawks looked at him at 11, Port 12 and Bulldogs at 13. Obviously other clubs rate him around the mark and he fits a huge need for us also. Sounds about right to me.

I don’t know what to think about this draft for us if it pans out like has been widely speculated. 

One thing seems apparent though. Either the list managers know more about Jackson and Pickett than the rest of the AFL world combined, or they’re making a mistake that’s sizeable enough to stack up against some of our best from the last decade.

I feel like Weightman would be a mistake but I’ve been wrong before

Won't know if many of them are a hit or not for years Murph.  Some no doubt will hit the ground a little better than others who may not make it or might take 3 to 5 years to find their feet.  Tough gig as a recruiter.

Pretty sure we'll see a high level of effort, attack and pressure early on even if he takes a few years to hit his straps in other areas.

And Pickett to Hawthorn with the very next pick .....  

From where i sit, outside of effort and a fitness edge in favour of Weightman (and a great attitude/seemingly good character when interviewed, haven't seen Pickett interviewed but that means nothing) there's no real stand out sign that says either is going to be a much better player or a star vs the other not being so good JS.  This is where we have to trust that Taylor & Co. are earning their coin and will choose well.

Got word this morning that Weightman is confident he’ll find him self in a kennel come tonight.

We’re still doing riddles right?

Apparently yesterday someone noticed some horns starting to grow on Pickett’s head.

Either way we get a small forward, which will improve our squad either way

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
