The Freo or Adelaide games are the only chance, but they'll want pick 1, so no chance really.

Not sure the Eagles read your post.

One kick, to a side at home, playing for finals.

    Simpson would have been [censored] himself in the final quarter.

    When our initial correspondence occurred, Essendon were leading easily.

    Essendon are a hopeless, irrelevant football club, living off past triumphs. 😉

    But they don’t want the flag, they want the 1st pick, don’t they?

    Why trade a potential gem KPP to get a mid? Computer says no, I don't care how good Reid is.

    Reid is a freak!

    So you wouldn't go after Reid, mate? And if you would, what would you be prepared to part with?


    I would, I’m just nervous that my uneducated opinion is probably wrong.

    I’d think pick 4 & 7/8 would do it. Thinking we’d get 7/8 from GC for a collection of 2nd rounders. I think giving up much more might be a bridge too far.

    Fair enough mate. I'll back JT in. Has he had a miss with a mid?

    Really need the Tigers to get back to winning. GWS have their pick and prefer to get country Vic kids. 

    Right now they have ND6 and ND12.

    Very close to ND4 and ND15…

    Laurie is a half forward to be fair and hasn't had a shot quite yet.

    I agree with you about Laurie. He played the 1st game this year, struggled and was immediately dropped. I think once you've made the team you should be given 2, preferably 3, games to try to establish yourself. To the Club's credit they at least gave Woewodin a decent run at it (3 games).

    Reid looks to be a beautiful mover and is clearly very skilled. The fend offs are exceptional and the player he looks like most is Jai Newcombe. But I don't think Reid will be as big and strong as Petracca, Wines or Martin and he does not look to have the same leap as Petracca.

    I have to say, I like the look of Zane Duursma, who looks a protype AFL footballer. He is bigger and looks to have more running and leaping ability than Reid. If the cost to push up the draft order to get Reid is significant, I would prefer we use or picks to trade or take several players.

    His leap is fine - took a pretty fair one grab hanger playing for Essendon reserves today.

    IMV, he probably won't make it at the MFC, but we'll see.

    He's good enough, but he might want more opportunities elsewhere. Contracted for next year so hope he sticks around.

    I was huge on Laurie's draft highlights and super-excited when we landed him (proving once again that I have no idea), but it should be noted as part of this discussion that it was likely Taylor had Holmes and Bowey biroed in before a late blindside, and that assessing the 2020 draft crop was seriously tricky.

    Besides Sydney academy selection Gulden, it's not like there are any serious midfield claims selected below Bailey. Taylor gets a mulligan on that one, together with the Rosman pick, who we likely wouldn't have selected if successful in our bid to lure Isaac Smith. That last point makes for some interesting what-ifs. 

    If Smith had hypothetically chosen us to fill our second wing spot, would we have then switched our attention to forward reinforcements a year earlier? McCreery seems like the pick of the bunch selected after Laurie, and very much in the Taylor mould. Wonder where he was on the list? Also MFC 2022 with Smith?

    Wow. The kid looks the goods.

    He’ll be number 1. Had an almost under 18s championship with bursts of talent shown across his rotation in mid and up forward.  He’s a genuine ruck rover onballer who can play inside and outside mid. Tough and has pace. Even as a half back, he could setup play and can certainly mark the footy.  He’s the number 1 no doubt.

    Agree, I just can’t see a regular spot for him and assume he will look around.

    • 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.

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
