You sure it is that simple? I don’t think you can just lose a top 5 pick. Plus players will likely know what awaits newly formed clubs in terms of performance and ladder positions.

Unfortunately I don’t think he’ll be there at pick 4. Hawthorn / Norf will likely grab him before we do. 

Where are we getting pick 4 from?

I'm on record not wanting to draft McKercher and the better he is, the stronger my conviction.

If he lives up to expectations he'll be off to captain the inaugural Tasmanian team just when we need him to take the reins from an aging midfield. Yes we'll get good draft compensation but we won't be in the phase needing an 18yo mid.

Bookmark it.

That's some Nostradamus level foresight .I'll take 4 years of mcKercher while our current window and if he reaches the levels you suggest if being a walk up captain for a new Tasmanian team chances are he's helped us Jag another flag. Best available without crystal balling is Taylor's philosophy

McKercher looks pretty small for a midfielder and very left sided. 

That's ok you look for the half glass full FT well look for his other inumerable skills and the had full approach.

Looks the offensive option which we need dearly. More fast skilfully in our team the more positive our game plan will be.

Let’s remind ourselves how good this kid is. How did the AFL just gift him to end Kangas. Ffs. I’m angry.  


We need to get Pick3 if we wish to land Duursma or this kid.

And North get Sanders as well, its beyond a joke.

Only if they select him at 2 or 3 or they trade up into the top 10 with their other picks. They can't match a bid within 40 like everyone else.

McKercher all the way for mine. Whenever he gets it he’s always looking to do something damaging with it. He has massive hurt factor and is aggressive 👍👍👍

North are taking Mckercher and Duursma unless they get pick 1 then it’s Reid and Mckercher. They also are keeping an open mind on Curtin, but that may have just been Clarko playing mind games with West Coast

Interesting. 

Both Hawthorn and Bulldogs are said to be looking at mid types. If we don't move up it may look like..

Scenario 1

1. Eagles  - Reid

2. Gold Coast - Walter

3. North - McKercher

4. North - Duursma

5. Hawks - Watson/Sanders

6. Bulldogs - Watson/Sanders

7. Demons - Curtin, O'Sullivan

 

Scenario 2

1. North - Reid

2. Gold Coast - Walter

3. Eagles - Curtin

4. North - McKercher

5. Hawks - Duursma

6. Bulldogs - Watson/Sanders

7. Demons - Watson/Sanders/O'Sullivan

Reckon the Dogs will take Watson, think we will take Sanders

 Surely north would want O’Sullivan, take Ben McKays spot. They are desperate for more of a lockdown defender. Rather than curtin

They have a surplus of potential midfield stars

Could be perfect for them swapping 3 with our 6 plus our future first ??

Curtin has several strings to his bow and potential across all 3 lines. As said on another thread, North are into him and whilst that may be Clarkson playing mind games with West Coast, he has let it be known he sees Curtin as part of their future spine.

Whilst he has several attributes and could be anything don’t think for 1 minute he can’t play a lockdown 1 v 1 roll.

Watch his game for WA vs Allies when they moved him onto Walter. There’s also several WAFL seniors games to review him

So you'd still have Curtin ahead of O'Sullivan, mate?

Was very impressed with Curtin's performance on Walter.  The other one that stuck in my mind was how he played against Vic Country. Outstanding game.  Curtin and Reid going blow for blow to try and get their teams over the line. That high in the draft you look for players that can influence the game and help turn momentum in your favour. Curtin and Reid showed this in spades that night.

Would happily have Curtin if he's there at pick 6/7.

Curtin helped coach one of the development squads at Claremont this year , mate of mine worked with him and said he was fantastic with the players no ego and fully engaged with the program

Thanks PStD.  The more I hear of Curtin, the more I warm to him.

Very hard thing to read, but does he come accross as a kid who could move to Melbourne and cope okay? if he's there at pick 6 he'd be the obvious choice, but i can only see him sliding because of go home concerns, he's too good to not go in the first few picks otherwsie i'd have thought

I think he’s been prepared for the last few years to move interstate and without being 100% certain I think he’s the type that will embrace the club which picks him and want to build something special. Very loyal person to his teammates

Well, if WC don't want to play ball with us so that we can get Reid, then more than happy for us to pick Curtin at 6.

Very Josh Kellyesque. Can't see how we'll get him though.

Very clean and effective, two words I don’t remember using about a Melbourne Mid

  • 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.

    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.
