    Young will not last that long. He’s a certain top 5 pick. If we split the pick, we miss him.

    I’m hoping we hold onto 3 + 8 and take Young and Stephens.

    A very solid outcome unless we can split 8 and still land Stephens with say 10/11 & a bonus of Pickett with a third pick somewhere around 30 to 40.

    The Hawks have 11 & 30.

    With Freo having Robertson, Jackson and Henry around their picks why would they trade?

    If they pick Robertson at 7,  then they have to hope that ourselves or Carlton ( who have both indicated they are interested in small forwards)don’t pick Henry or they will be forced to match bid or else miss out on him. Doing a deal with us is their best way to secure 2 top 10 picks and Henry.

    Rewatched Henrys highlights, he will be a star and is an impressive young lad, so yes an early bid as you say by us or Carlton would be on the cards.

    Swap Kemp with Stephens and that is my dream scenario too.

    Listening to Jason Taylor on Road To Draft podcast - Luke Jackson in the frame for pick 3. They see him as a forward option. Don't think he will be a full-time ruckman at AFL level. If we draft him, he will be part of the forward group. Interesting to hear considering he's barely played forward and has played pure ruck through the year. Seems we may get a 'tall forward' after all...

    I certainly hope not LT.  Pert should be intervening on this IF Taylor (Goody) is/are seriously considering a ruckman at 3

    No he shouldn't. He's the CEO, not the list manager or talent scout.

    If, as a CEO or footy manager, you don't trust the judgement of your recruiting manager, then they should be your recruiting manager.

    Young and Kemp. Young because he has kicking ability we need and is rated number 3 in most phantom drafts. Kemp because he would be and was rated number 3 prior to his knee issue. Pick for best available in the top 10 selections.

    so how many times have u seen these guys live?

    I think the recruiters know more than phantom drafts on bigfooty

    So I cannot have a preference. And the phantom drafts I speak of are Cal Twoomey, not big footy. So once again. Young and Kemp.?

    Twomey and Doerre ....

    ..."As well as attending live games, Doerre pores through match vision, analyses the stats and talks to industry sources to ensure he can offer the most insightful draft analysis"....

    Young & to a lessor extent Kemp both prominent in that win (statistically anyway...didn't see the match).

    Rowell was a cut above that day. Anderson and Young also played well and showed they could match it against men. Bianco was also good with his dash. If we had a second round pick, he'd be right in our cross hairs. He'll wind up a decent little player IMO

    Yes Bianco also seems to figure in other matches at this level.  I haven't seen any footage

  • Quote

    Bianco is projected as a pick 15-30 type. He’s a small-medium player who has good kicking skills and a bit of dash. Played mainly wing and  halfback flank. I reckon we’d be right into him if we had a second round pick to use.

    Footy (sporting) clubs can rise and fall on the back of one monumental mistake GLG.  Sorry but there are times when a CEO needs to step up and be counted and that would be one of them.

    Pert is not a babe in the woods.  He would know when he sees a mega blunder looming and if he didn't act then he isn't doing his job and may as well walk himself.

    98.5% of the time certainly.  But there comes a very rare time when it's a must...

    Rowell is clearly the pack leader for 2019 LT but i would have Anderson and Young not that far apart either.  Anderson possibly by a nose as by all accounts he has the ability to kick a few handy goals pushing forward.

    There is a top 3 (☝?) and a bit of daylight from there imv.

    Personally, if we're to go by highlights, Dylan Stephens is exactly what our midfields lacks & needs. Speed, class & goals - Fantastic point of difference from the kid.

    I've timestamped 3 bits of vision below that have impressed me more so than most highlight packages thus far.

    1. @ 1:03

    2. @ 2:06

    3. @ 2:36

    Maybe it's Dylan we're looking to make an early jump on? I hope so.

     

    wow, Dylans highlights are by far the most impressove, reminds me of robbie flower

    Well, it looks likely, unless we stuff up completely, we should get 2 very good players if we keep 3 and 8.

    I can see us taking Young 3 and Stephens 8 if available.

    Stephens is versatile. Can play wing, outside mid and half forward. Has a lot of zip!

    I do think Adelaide would be prepared to take him with Pick 4.

    I'm not sure picking 1 18 year old over another is the 1.5%, but each to their own.

    Pert was reportedly far too involved in the Collingwood FD during his tenure there. I'd be loathe to see him doing the same here.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
