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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
