Laurie has poor skills apparently and needs work. 

His kicking efficiency is elite according to the Fox footy telecast.

    Passed on both Cook and Carroll. Seems like a [censored] up, but just gotta trust the recruiters I guess!

    Laurie and Bowey are two blokes who are described as great users with good footy IQ who never waste a disposal - makes perfect sense to me why we would be interested in both.

    Mentioned it on the Laurie thread, but both of these guys could easily push further up the ground (with Pickett) in the coming years.  Just because they are more forward type players doesn't mean they stay there for the long term.

    Lots to work with here and I like it from the club.

    We could get one at our next pick.

    happy with that, Bowey probably would've been available at 28 but both suit our needs, either could play on a wing as well long term

    Draft Central rated his Disposal as Elite, and one of his strengths was Clean Skills

    Two small forwards! Yes!

    I pretty much won't need to post anything on this forum again.

    Someone needs to get fired for leaking the Holmes pick.

    Unless it was Mahoney and then he needs to be sued.

    Bad clubs leak. Good clubs don’t. That’s pretty much it.

    This shambles of a club can’t keep making unforced errors.

    Collingwood have absolutely cleaned this draft up.

    They have just traded in pick 24 and pick 30.

    I'll be honest, can't say I am that excited with our picks so far.

    Sounds like we’re drafting for needs tonight rather than best available.

    We don’t need 2 small forwards. We do need 2 good kicks. Plenty of other needs if we really wanted to patch holes in the 22

    This stuff comes out every single year.

    A function of drafting so few players with elite kicking skills in tbe last decade.

    I could not be more pleased they have bitten tbe bullet and focused on addressing our greatest need - great kicks.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
