Let me throw a cat amongst the pigeons, hypothetically speaking.

What if our real target is Green, with Jackson as our next choice.

We let it be known that we want Jackson. GWS trade up to be able to get Green and another top 5 player, believing we will take Jackson. If GWS also rate Jackson above Green and we nominate Green they get one or the other but not the second player, if they match a Green bid. 

This could have given us the chance to get Green if he is our target.

Could this be the case, or am I just looking for intrigue?

It had crossed my mind.

 

I remember Martin at the MFC he was tried as a forward and was good some days and poor on other days, it was only when he played a ruckman that he did well, unfortunately Neeld wanted Jamar and shipped him off to Brisbane.

I still think Bradtke will become a ruckman of quality, he was a star basketballer and his signature was wanted by many teams, so why do we need a WA ruckman?

another alternative, though unlikely, is that we are still undecided between green and jackson (and maybe even young) 

 

I reckon it's probably more from GWS side, where they are happy to have sold the farm for Jackson OR Green + someone else. If we bid, and they don't match, they have effectively used 12, 18 and next year's 1st on Jackson.

It's a either a huge risk they have taken (that we won't bid) or they really rate Jackson

Whatever happens on draft night,  there is no doubt the AFL have added a new layer of intrigue to the draft, with pick swapping and matching.

They have succeeded in keeping football front and centre of media sports coverage, not to mention launching fan sites into turbo charged overdrive.

Agree. We need pace in the midfield and elite ball skills. That’s Ash for pace and Young for delivery.  Jackson may look at “going home” after we develop him. Eagles and Dockers would be rabid if this kid was any good. And to keep him we’d be paying $$$$$$. He’s raw and needs lots of development for 2-3 years+.

At least Watts was a superb kick of the footy

Because Bradke and Preuss aren't exactly guaranteed to make it at AFL level.

Simple really.

In terms of pure talent Jackson is the most talented player in this draft with the highest ceiling. I think it's a very easy choice at pick 3. there are Hayden youngs every year. 


Centre bounce one -

Foll:  Gawn, Oliver, Brayshaw, Melksham

F:  Jackson, Viney, Petracca, Harmes

Centre bounce two -

FOLL: Jackson, Viney, Petracca, Harmes

F:  Gawn, Oliver, Brayshaw, Melksham

?

Just been told we want Jackson, second hand info from within the club.

Well go get him! BUT I think he is light years away from that!

You simply cannot waste a pick on someone who cannot kick

Our team is full of them!!!

Mystifying!!??

The next Jesse Hogan!

What?   Hes nothing like Hogan.

Key forward what else does he need to be?

Taylor has big wraps for Jackson. Mids are getting taller with The Bont at 192cm, Cripps at 195cm. Taylor says Jackson has played mid. Wonder whether they are thinking he could be a power inside mid or at least a massive body with talent you can throw into the inside mix as well as forward or ruck. Not saying he will be anywhere near as good as Cripps or Bont but he certainly is loaded with talent.

May well be why GWS are rock solid in their belief we will not bid for Green and why there is no way we will split pick 3.

We don't need insde mids we need runners and forwards.

Jackson at 3 and Stephens at 10 sound good to me.

Edited by WERRIDEE

 

I think there is a very high chance we will bid on Green, the Giants will match the bid and this will be part of a ploy to ensure someone else we want gets down to pick 10. weather it be Ash, Young, Stephens or whoever

  • 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.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
