Didn’t know you worked in our FD. Coz you do, right? I mean, why else would you be so sure?

If a football department of any side started to take notice of supporters whims and fancies and at times hysterical comments regarding the list , team changes , recruiting etc, then they don't deserve to hold those positions.

The club may very well read supporter sites just to gauge the reaction of supporters but I am certain they would not be passing comment to the football department.

Maybe I was asking too much. I’ll take Zane Duursma and Larkey from North

Now we're talking👌

 

Just a note on Nick Larkey he was taken at pick 73, I repeat pick 73 in 2016. Go back and look at our 2016 trades, Lewis, Hibbo, Hannah at 46 Pat McKenna Later on then Dion Johnstone at 64 all before Larkey at pick 73.  There is a lot of luck involved and hindsight is a beautiful thing. Larkey is also on record as saying he will stay a Rood for life not interested in free agency etc

Precisely.  A lot of skill and research but also a fair bit of luck especially in the higher picks.

Wasn't James Hird in the 80s and Chris Grant >100?


These sort of “how did they land there” picks are becoming rarer due to better scouting (Oliver a very clear example of this). So unlikely that there will be these sorts of generational talents multiple times per drafts like they used to. Expect Seaston. Obviously he is generational 😜

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
