Tim Lamb is on the phone..  

Something is up?

He’s on with his wife. She’s reading him comments from Demonland so he can figure out who to take next. 

 

[censored] me dead. Righto that’s me done for the night.

Not thrilled with our picks, but let’s see how they go. Good to get elite kicks in!

I think for balance, Rosman might be the more desired path now.

Nice call ??

Pick 34 - Sarah Jones in that white dress

Carroll is this year's Young. The Demonland consensus pick never gets chosen.

No speed. If you don't have speed clubs don't want you. Richmond have shown why. Of course we can only manage to find half quick little fellas but at least it's a step in the right direction.

Me thinks goodoil gets good mail

He's also clearly an astute observer of U18 footy as well with his commentary leading up to the draft

Will we use our 4th pick?

Good question, can't see us getting much future currency for pick 50. Do we leave two spots open for the SPP and mid-year rookie draft... Carroll sliding massively. Maybe there's issues there.

Absolute rubbish. I was listening to a podcast on a different sport, just happened to be about drafting and holds true for all sports.

”So what is the science or art about trading up or down for a player you want?”

”Its a little bit of art and a lot of knowledge, I know 95% of the recruiting staff from every other team, if I have a player I like I’ll go to a number of games to watch him (sometimes 20+ games) and also to watch who else is watching him.
I’ll see xx club or xx clubs in attendance. We’ll also the ask him who has shown the most interest.. then with that info we get a bead on which clubs are keen. We then look at the draft order and his potential drafting position and make a call from there. If we believe we can stay put, move up or move down. One thing we can’t control is any info that comes from his network (agent or family).”

He played 1 practice game this year. One of our directors used to coach him. There wasn't any need to repeatedly interview him or let anyone know we were interested. It wasn't like it was just Holmes we were linked to either. Laurie and Bowey were both heavily linked to us. 

Jason Taylor even does a Melbourne media hit the night before the draft stating his desire for outside run and skills.

I haven't experienced waterboarding but I suspect it would be more enjoyable than reading your one point repackaged into 5 or 6 posts. We get it. You're not happy...again.

Waterboarding might get it through your thick head.

Melbourne = dumb club = lose a lot of games.

Smart club = no leaks, run misdirection, sneaky, get their picks = win games.

I'll be happy when we stop doing stupid things.

194cm wingman. Small fwd and I think a Half back. I back in JT after last year. 

To be fair it was fairly obvious we needed outside run!

Carroll is Gawn

Feel for that O’Driscoll kid. His highlights were pretty bad. Surely he did some good stuff?

He looked terrible.

Does this mean we're done?

I hope so, I can go to bed 

 

The interesting thing from my perspective is that the club has chosen three Victorians who played very little football this year so we’re comparing players from interstate with exposed Under 18 form to exposed Victorian Under 17 form. The theory is that there’s more upside with these players in terms of added development.

Naturally, only time will tell.

Finger on the pulse GO?

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • 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.

  • 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.
