    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: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
