There was a HS article today saying that many clubs have turned off Weideman due to his poor tests, but the dees are still interested. Could he slip to 7?

I reckon if he is there at 7 take him.

Great work. I like it. Maybe just because you have us picking Parish, i like it nonetheless. I don't mind Francis as a high marking half back with good footskills who is a strong, fast risk taker who can play anywhere. Most of the good teams have one. Unless there is a better available key forward at 7 I would like us to take him although it seems like we have barley spoken to Francis. If he slips past us, we have to get Curnow or Weideman instead

Other way round for mine Parish bandwagon

One is 27 with 10 pre seasons under his belt The other is 18 with none.

I stand corrected, but Parish was the only one that was never gonna get to our pick 6

Think about it like this.. When we made 2 attempts to trade for pick 3, the 2nd one successful, Obviously we had a particular player targeted that would be available at 3 but not at 5,6 or 7. We didn't do it just to improve our draft position. IMO, we made our decision weeks ago and the statement on mfc website by Taylor was a suspense tease. Brett Anderson only made the comments about hearing that we'll take Curnow this week. So I believe it is Parish and has always been

I am still fixed on Parish at 3

Fair point. I just think Parish reminds me of a young Gary Ablett Jnr

Source?

My best mate got a 12.8 when he was 10...

He has fully recovered from his injury. If it still is restricting him then it's gonna be like that his entire career

Anderson has some strange theories no idea where he gets them

You are judging players based on their name?

The headline reads.. Great week for the Dees, Parish and Curnow drafted, followed by the re-signing of Jesse Hogan

Parish all the way HT

I'm 99% sure it will be kept quiet

No way we pick him at 3 that would be a terrible pick

pretty sure Buddy was from WA. He hasn't gone home

The idea of signing him long term with 2 years left on his contract when we only win 7 games was 1000 to 1

His contract doesn"t expire for 2 years. Don't blame him for wanting to wait & see where the team is headed. If we are moving well and we are where we should be then he'll resign. He wants success and loves Melbourne. The city and the team. The only reason he would leave is for poor on field performances. Not worried at all

Source? Also if we take Oliver at 7, would we still take Parish at 3 or take a tall?

Highlights can make anyone look incredible
