Interested to see what happens with Brayden George, the ACL likely to make him fall in the order.

 

Well, that was a yawn - much ado about nothing. Predictable when dealing with the Peptides who don't know a good deal when they see one.

Especially with Dodo in charge. 

 

Interesting from the Age article 

Taylor stopped short of revealing who Melbourne were interested in but said a “young ruck” was one direction they could go, after selecting Matt Jefferson to potentially pair with Jacob Van Rooyen as future twin towers in attack.

Clearly Barnett is right in the frame here.

Ducks & drakes. Only exceptional rucks get taken outside the rookie draft.

I would be super happy picking up Barnett. Not sure if it's worth trading out a good pick next year though.

Sounds like our type of ruck.

This year's most highly touted ruckman, Barnett is a contested marking weapon whether pushing forward or behind the ball. Though the middle, Barnett is an effective tap ruckman, but what separates him at ruck contests is his strength to win the ball himself out of the ruck before disposing of the football.

You are showing your age. I was in love with her at the age of 10. Not sure why.

gws pick 22 & 34 for f1 and 37 to try and get george/cowan/barnett

We're only taking one more pick so this won't work. Maybe f1 and 37 for 22 and a f2?

Me too, makes perfect sense. Ruckman rarely have impact before 22/23 yo. Both Max and Brodie will be well into their 30's by then so why not give Barnett and Faris-White the best mentorship imaginable. It could be the perfect succession plan. 

Also wouldn't have a problem giving up our first pick next year to get him.

i preferred mandy rice-davies, but i was always a sucker for the blondes

I wouldn’t trade up for him but Hudson O’Keefe is very underrated if he was available at 38. Great combination of athleticism and physicality. Similar to Draper at Essendon 


An excellent insight into the wheeling and dealing of the first round draft night.  While not much happened there was a lot happening behind the scene.  trades-that-didn-t-come-off and unsurprisingly we were in the thick of it!  I wonder who we had in mind for GWS's (initial) pick #19?

There are few unknowns between the clubs at draft time.

Sydney's bids and trades were the only interesting aspect of the whole draft.  .

While Twomey had a fair bit of the info before the draft, I'm guessing the finer details have been provided to him in the last week.

Fascinating reading.

Edited by Lucifers Hero

I was informed 4 weeks ago by an Essendon insider that the Bombers were 99% certain to take Tsatas.

 

Great insight. Cal Twomey really putting himself out there as one of the best journo's in the land when it comes to the draft.

Will be very interesting to watch if we target Humphrey's in the future when he comes out of contract.

Maybe they can throw in pick 7 when we steal him away?

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
