Salem takes first Melbourne pre-season in his stride What stuck out for me was the bit where he is been taken under Cross' wing. You wouldn't find a more professional player then Daniel Cross to learn and pick the brains. Will be a bargain for the Dees!

If it gets us wins im all for it.

Straight up and no beating around the bush! I like it!

Just off topic I can't believe they killed off Brian Griffin!

I kindly disagree. I think your underestimating Richmond. They have a good young list that is still ahead of us and the last couple of drafts for them has been good. Bringing in tough nuts like Vlaustuin and Ellis and then Lennon for class and creativity has been good recrtuiting for them. Their senior players like Cotchin, Deledio, Martin, Jackson, Maric, Grigg have been standouts for them and are set for big year next year. They will be pushing top 4 next year. Hunt and King are still miles off and will take time. King especially a good 4 years away and Hunt is still unkown. Im excited about harmes thought I reckon he is a beauty and wouldn't be surprised if he snuck in a couple of games towards the end of the year.

Should have retired this year.

Get real Demonsterative these blokes wouldn't last in the AFL now with their record and all the rules. Stop flogging yourself over past snipers and get into reality. The bloke has just broken a teammates jaw and yet you think that's far more important that he should become a Dee then the Victims health. What a true show of colour.. fmd

And even worse off field aswell. So who out of Hawthorn and Freo and maybe even Geelong that put the fear into opposition?? How about we focus on winning games instead of trying to scare the opposition..

Hahaha and looked how that turn out? Keep going though your ability to stand up for this thug and wanting him at the MFC is comedy gold at its finest!

He really isn't the most shabby looking person going around is he haha

Difference is Neeld brought in guys like Pedersen, Rodan, Byrnes, Dawes, Gillies.. To prove what, I don't know.. Neeld did bring in Viney, Toumpas and Hogan but Collingwood have done well with Grundy, Kennedy, Sharenberg and Taylor Adams Said before they have a very good list potential to dominate for the next 5 years. But whether Bucks can deliver is the question..

Clap Clap for you for posting the worst post on Demonland.. FMD

The guy [censored] canned Neale Daniher and josh Fraser publicly and now Nathan Buckley. What does that say to you? He is nothing but a spoilt little brat that didn't get things his way. This has come back to bite him in the ass and so it should! Collingwood made the right decision and good on them. His body was absolute shot and he struggled at VFL level even getting a bath of Wayde Skipper in one game. Best thing for him is to quietly disappear from the footballing world and focus on job searching. Got no respect for him and never will after the way he carried on against ND and Josh Fraser. And btw we aren't exactly out of the rabble ourselves. Collingwood aren't in any.

So a die hard melbourne supporter ey? Surely he lurks among us here on demonland!?

Can't believe this.. this bloke does not deserve this. He is actually a top bloke and someone you could have a beer and a laugh with. Terrible news All the best Bails!! speedy recovery!

I must say im a bit disappointed in this pick.. I know its only a rookie draft but would much rather have gone for Matt Sully. His disposal is very ordinary and even if he plays tall when he comes up against the bigger forwards I just don't think he will be much chop.. anyways I will watch with interest.

Just on Max I watched a game earlier this up my way and was hugely impressed by how agile he was for a 202cm ruckman. His ability to tap the ball and follow up again for a handball was something I notice him do a fair bit. For a bloke his size he has really good kicking skills. Will be already ahead of Jamar and Spencer in that department and even Gawn. He defiantly is a decent kick! Can also rest up forward and kick goals. The way he played up forward reminded me of Kurt Tippett in the way he sticks his arms up to clunk overhead. Will rise above packs and take huge marks! I know in one of the practice games they played up here he kicked 5 playing as the full forward. GWS rated him very highly and so did a lot of clubs. If he is developed properly he will be an absolute gem!

Rapt for this pick!! have seen him live and was hugely impressed! Will give details later..

Draft tracker doesn't work.. they are just having it live via chat. Don't see the point of the PSD now that delisted free agency is in now.. I nailed my Phantom PSD!

I wonder if the new rookies that get picked up today will start training on Friday??

That wasn't a rabbit out of the hat. Hannerbery was expected to get drafted. Played nationals and did the draft camp etc.. Hunt never did anyone of these. Absolute smokey this bloke and one I will watch with interest in his development.

Probably about 2 minutes of footage like all of us.
