KPF? I’ve heard of the twin towers forward line strategy but we’d entering unprecedented quadruple tower territory

Agree - I think we want a winger / good outside midfielder as a first priority.  The fact that we didn't go after Phillips or Polec to me suggests we might have our eye on someone in the draft.

Would also love to see us go after another pressure forward too.

This. If available, take multiple small forwards. With our current game plan, the game is won and lost in this area.


I’m usually not too picky but that thread title is crying out for a comma, maybe a full stop or too, some brackets and certainly a question mark

to the topic -

quick running back

winger

small forward 

back up ruck- consider mature recruits

Medium size players needed who can have a combination of at least 2/3 of

use the ball well

have pace

run and carry

win their own ball

intercept

win groundballs/apply pressure 

hit the scoreboard 

1 or 2 players always slide, I think 1 from Mcrae, Perkins, Chapman will slide. Wouldn't mind taking one of them with one of Carroll, Powell or Henry with picks 18 and 19.

Pick 28 best available for our needs if Downie is available then bid for him here

Quick skilled players - ideally versatile. Get 3 if we can but I'd settle for 2.

Key defender. We need a May replacement developing ASAP.

I’ve read it a few times now and think I’m more confused than when I read it the first time.

I wonder where Oliver would be going if he was in this draft without playing his final year?  Not only is it compromised with the academy picks, they havent played for 12 months+.  Better to be lucky than good. Throw a dart. 


The type of players I would go with the 4 picks are:

Ruckman

Small forward

wingman

halfback

Hope we dont waste a pick on a ruckman.    We already have two developing young rucks.

It will be a mature ruckman.. I would use pick 50. If we get Phillips we won't use 50.

Ok yeah, I thought you meant another 18 year old ruck. We do need a mature ruckman.

Hi Werridee, definitely  agree with 3 of those, but why would we accept pick 31 for Preuss, then use pick 18 for a junior ruckman?

 

edit: sorry just saw the rest of the thread, already answered my question.

I'm a big fan of Jack Carroll from East Freo @Pennant St Dee. I personally can't see Mcrea last until our picks which is a bummer because he's an enormous talent as well.

I would be stoked with the Carroll/Perkins Combo.

Longest thread title ever.

Another Pickett type and wingman. Must be skilful and pacy.

Other than that pick the best player available although i do like the suggestion of a KPD. May is no longer a spring chicken.

  • Demonland changed the title to Draft Targets Positions

No way we need to look at a developing KPD. May is only 28, will probably play another 4 seasons. Plus sides have shown if you're in the window you can easily pluck key position players from other sides who want to chase flags. We've also got Petty developing nicely and is a good size at 197cm.

We need pace & skill and a cheap back up ruck.

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.
