I would want to take any of Leake, Windsor, Leake ahead of him if there.

These highlights against senior WAFL men is seriously very impressive from the kid.

 

Given that Tholstrup was touted to go in the late teens, i wonder if we are contemplating trading 6 for WCE future 1st and then trading our future first for a Nth Melb late teens pick.

Pros:

- Big body and agile

- Hits the contest, enjoys the niggle

- Clean overhead marking

- not the most natural kicking action but can penetrate and seems to have poise to choose his targets inside 50 especially after marking across half forward.

- versatile mid/forward and possibly wing? (6:17 2km)

- Country kid with personality!

Cons:

- Not a huge ball winner 
- Might lack breakaway pace or explosive leap that can be handy for a forward 
- Preferred position? It’s hard work being an afl half forward. Are we spending a first round pick on Nibbler2? And is he up for it?

Shades of: Daniel Lloyd, Cam Rayner, Tom Sparrow, Cam Zurhaar 

I have heard him compared to a Rayner, Petracca, De Goey by a couple of different talent scouts.  and apparently one that has been a late mover.  I really like the look of him but who knows as well

Agree, i think we will be looking at that if Curtin is still there at 6, WCE will try get back into the draft. and seeing they wouldn't take our offer for 1 i hope we play a little bit of hard ball.

but not so much that it falls over:  Melb - 2024 First Round, 2023 pick 42 for WCE - 2024 First Round and 2023 pick 37

might be stuff of fantasy but would hope we try it

Pretty sure WC future first  is on the table for Curtin without any other add ons. 
We would only put our future first on the table for their pick 23

There was an article yesterday stating we are unlikely to do a deal for West Coast's future 1st due to the risk of them rising next year with an injury free list. With 11 home games at Perth and a clean fit list, its definitely a gamble that we turn pick 6 into something significantly better a year later.

They would need to sweeten the pot for us significantly, starting with pick 23 and no return of our future 1st. Perhaps our future 2nd. Even then I don't like it.

It’d have to be an educated gamble with a sound understanding of next year’s draft crop composition and how it caters to our list needs. It wouldn’t be based on the vague hope that the top 5 is stronger next year (like it would be for me).

There’s already Levi Ashcroft and one the Camporeale boys who will compromise the top end of next years draft

I think that if we have a player that we want now then why would we risk possibly maybe getting something slightly better next year? 

If we like Curtin (or another) at 6 this year and want that player, why not just take them? If we don't really rate the players at 6 then sure, trade it away for a lottery ticket, but if we do rate them then grab one you want.

Agreed.

 

Edit: I don't think we can lose out this year with one of Curtin, Watson, Sanders or Caddy being available.

Melbourne to Esperance and back is less than 6,000km if fly direct (which is possible). So, either the 8,000km figure is wrong, or Taylor went via Perth. Relevance? If he went to Perth, who else did he speak to?

It says he flew to Perth, before catching a light plane to Esperance

Suggests to me he wanted to meet someone in Perth. Otherwise he could have flown to Esperance directly and saved a lot of time.

Weren't you saying only a few days ago that if we keep pick 6 we'll be taking Caddy..

Same time that that it was only reported yesterday by Jay Clark that the Dees will NOT be trading a future first to WC?

Have you ever heard about things changing. 

Clubs don't lock in players weeks out before the draft....

As Jason Taylor stated today, there has been about 15 players that they have interviewed for that pick 11 range and are continuing to assess how the top order falls.

Exactly!  I am just passing on what I am hearing as I know others are like minded and interested in what’s happening in the background.


Why don’t you just keep your comments to yourself, does it make you feel like a bigger man to bring others down or to potentially throw things back in the face if they get something wrong?

  • 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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.
