Bring-Back-Powell

If the AFL was worried before the Demons' presentation to the commission on Tuesday ... then it is even more worried now. And unlike the Suns, it won't be offering priority national draft assistance. Anyone care to take a guess what he's talking about. Why are we back to being a basket case in the space of 12 months?

Can anyone makes sense of this from Damien Barrett? If the AFL was worried before the Demons' presentation to the commission on Tuesday ... then it is even more worried now. And unlike the Suns, it won't be offering priority national draft assistance.

And T Mac's game against Carlton which everyone's forgotten about. 6 goals by 3 qtr time is a pretty spectacular effort. We would've won 3-4 games on the run home if he didn't get injured. His form turned around at the Freo game and it was match winning against average sides.

Speaking of Brad Hill, he shouldn't have any right to choose his club of choice (rumored to be St Kilda) considering he has multiple years left on his contract with Freo. Hill should go to whichever club benefits Freo the most, and if that's Brayshaw for Hill, then so be it. Would we have the salary cap to fit Hill's asking price?

Did snag a 5 goal game though. Not overly impressed with him. Delisted free agent at absolute best.

An absolute fair enough comment.

Was that in reference to the game we were actually in front at the end of the game before Jordan McMuffin fluked a goal from outside 50. Or the game we shockingly lost by 40 points to a team that finished with a 20-2 record?

I feel we need a little sweetener coming back our way. Any chance they'd throw in Hogan as steak knives?

He kicked 43 goals this year including 5 in round 23. What did our leading goal kicker end up with this year? Sad thing is he'd still be a better option than Weideman, T Smith, Petty, O Mac and whoever else has graced our atrocious forward line this year. I love it how we're quick to bag blokes like Walker even though we have the worst forward line in the AFL.

My word he is. All of them.

When has Josh Mahoney ever played nice at the negotiation table?

Then we should offer up the Wagner brothers to GC for pick 100 in good faith that GC won't take Langdon in the PSD (if that draft actually exists anymore)

That's most unlike Demonland.

They rate C Wagner over Garlett ??!!!!??? Really.... Garlett was an outstanding acquisition considering the little we gave up for him, and provided some great entertainment over his 5 seasons at the club.

Salem played too many poor games after round 15 to make this list.

Yes it's a bit unfair but I can't believe it's gotten to the point we're upset we're getting pick 3 instead of pick 2. Those days should be well and truly behind us. The days of relying for help from the AFL (ie. getting pick 3 as compo for losing Frawley) should be well and truly behind us.

Josh Schache was the clear number 2 pick in 2015 who’s developed into a 1 goal a game key forward that spends time in the Footscray magoos each year. Can Rowell and Anderson transfer their under 18’s dominance from U 18’s to AFL?

I had Josh Kelly on my mind but didn’t want to mention him as that would’ve contradicted my comment. An absolute gun at pick 2.

Too injury prone and we have enough of them.

He goes very well. But in 5-10 years will he be the best player from that draft? The absolute super star generational talents such as Buddy, Fyfe, Danger, Judd, Dustin Martin and others were not top 2 picks.

Whatever. Q) What do Fyfe, T Kelly, Dangerfield, P Cripps, Bontempelli, Grundy, Gawn, Neale and Dusty Martin have in common? A) Blokes that are dominating 2019 and are at the absolute top of their game, and none of them were top 2 picks. The eventual best player of this draft won’t be picks 1 or 2.

Bayley Fritsch: Looked comfortable and at home as a defender. But was then inexplicably thrown forward late in the year and looked like a fish out of water.

Salem's form after about the Brisbane game has been absolutely atrocious and he deserves to be dropped if there was a game next week. He's lot his crisp disposal, and if he doesn't have that I'm not sure what he offers? He also dramatically lost his form in late 2017.

Ironically he's the exact player we're screaming out for. That last kick into the forward 50.

I assume those that are in a hurry to get rid of Garlett are happy with C Wagner as our number 1 small forward in round 1 2020...
