Gee, he even moves a bit like Lever from that footage.

No way Maynard is worth a first. A second should get it done if there's genuine interest.

Pick 36?

    Maybe A&F meant Weid for Collingwoods 2nd & Maynard :cool:

    Each to their own, but I don't think we'll be stupid enough to trade a first rounder for a B grade half back. 

    I like Maynard, he's a nice player, but you don't give up a first rounder for a player of his type.

    He'll need to be to come into a new zonal defence and learn how we want to play. I've thought this is the toughest thing about bringing in someone mid season. How do they adjust to the system the team is playing? Will be fascinating to see how he goes at Casey.

    Thanks as always for the insights mate.

    I hope the club hope neither of these will be needed in 2021.  Brought in as insurance / back up.

    Yes, but why bring in a 19 year old... He will be on the list - barring unacceptable behaviour/standards - in 2022.

    Looking at Daniel 's highlights There's no doubt he looks like Jeremy McGovern clone,

    His delightfully casual but so cool and composed marking plus peeling off with an elite disposal without any delay have got Gov written all over him.

    I loved Harrison Perry's highlights from Draft Day 1 and have had to be patient up to now for Harry to get his chance. He has improved with every game so far and looks every bit as good as I hoped Have earmarked  Petty as a KPD since then. 

    Daniel Turner looks  like another quick learner and even the  slightly overweight bit is Jeremy Gov to a tee. Looks a natural and if I was Marty Hore my chsnce is well under threat. 
    Also  he is 194cm now taller than listed apparently. Plays and marks tall  looking at the highlights. 

    Welcome to our new Defender to join our elite group already developing . 

    Will also allow Declase to play mid /wing maybe  or up forward as a pinch hitter.

    Lot to like about these 2 selections and JT May have nailed another 2 gems from his kitbag. 

    Won't die wondering I dont think.

    Maybe JT judged that he wouldn't make it through until our turn, and thought he should snap him up when we could.

    The big men always take longer to develop, Gawny is the best example and look at him now!

    Maybe Carlton could have benefitted from your insight before the last trade period?

    The cost should be similar to Hibberd, Melk, Langdon...as you say a 2nd rounder, or commensurate trade.

    They always paid overs...and for 2 of them.

    This and we get him now, we don't need to use a Draft pick on him in November, he gets 6 months developing with the best defensive unit in the AFL.  

    I like the balance of the picks, a mature player that might push for selection and a young player that can be developed.  One eye on the now and one on the future.

    We've needed to get a young key defender on our list to develop, so this pick made a lot of sense. Sounds like someone who reads the play well and makes good decisions, which is exactly what we want in a player who will be part of a defensive unit.

    Agree monoccular Strategic we now have our medium- tall backs covered in case Petty or one of the pillars get injured, it is going to be a long campaign.

    Yeah, but how tall is his height??

    And how many centimetres is he, vertically? 

  • Quote

    I read that players were able to specify a minimum 2 season deal in place of the usual 6 months.

    Any idea of the length of contract for these two draftees.

    How's he going to survive if he's not good enough to play at VFL,  SANFL, or WAFL level?

    The VFL is for development. If they are up to scratch and develop well they progress, if not they drop off our list and most likely go back to playing a lesser standard post football.

    Ovens and Murray league wouldn't be that far behind these competitions.  For a 19 yo to hold his own in that league he will be able to hold his own at VFL level.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      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.
