MFC now look to have picks 38 and 42 albeit this is amended up and down by potential NGAs and zoning or even we might package up to get to pick 31 off the Eagles potentially or the Cats pick 32.  
 

Certainly some bargain sliders available in Johnson, Howes, Butler, Sonsie, Draper or Goater.   Then there is the predicted 2nd round core group of Knevitt, Conway, Zac Taylor &  Bazzo.  NGAs and zoning inclusions likely to be matched include Motlop, Owens, Windhager and Fahey. That could stretch out the round. 

who might be available…

Hopefully (but unlikely) Connor Macdonald slides down to our next pick or we package up to get him earlier up the board. He’s a good running outside mid and would be a handy addition. Others in the frame could be midfielder Corey Warner for his strong competitor nature or half fwd Judson Clarke for his goalkicking  and pace.  Wagner would add to our East Freo connection. 

Indeed JT might have a Smokey in the pack. It’s unlikely to be another key back or forward but you never know. 
 

pick 42 - if don’t package or trade it out into 2022, could be used on Charlie Molan (competitor, wing half back type)  Lewis Rayson (skilled left foot mid-defender) or Isaac Birt (goalkicking wingman).

Maybe Cripps as a ruck/forward may be the way to go with our 2nd pick if he is still on the board.
Our only ruck Back up is Majak.

If Conway is available he would be my first choice but he probably will not be around even if we package a couple of picks and trade up.

I like our strategy of loading up with kids the last few years and needs this year. Tassy will be in soon/2 or 3 years? and their concessions will hurt the rest of the comp.

My eye is on Tassie player Sam Banks as a running half back type to add some depth to our medium defender stocks. Reportedly has excellent disposal and great athletic attributes.

187cm 73kg

Limited highlights, first 5-10 seconds have a significant glitch in the video which should come with a seizure warning.

Pick 38 would be a running backman wouldn't it. Whoever that is? Woewodin will be pick 42.

Who is Sam Banks ?

Jeremy  Howes brother in law ?

A friend of yours? 

Tim Paines Manager ? 

Why is he any better than the draftees in Vic etc? 

Age and history please 

Very light 73 kg !! 

We actually need small defenders rather than medium. 

Got to say the highlights are about half pace. Not much pressure.

Jesus 58er.

He's a player I liked the look of off the half back line. Nothing more. I added a profile for people to read up on him if you wish. All highlights, eastern states more so, are below average this year for the obvious.

Richmond liked him at 29, we move on and now welcome Howes to the fold who the dees probably preferred anyway.

Taylor said Howes has played half back and could be his best position but then said he will play on the wing. We have Baker and Rosman on the wing so I'd play Howes off half back.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
