Here's the Inside Football (best football newspaper) Top 20 from Brett Anderson (a good Melbourne man):- 1. Brisbane Lions Patrick McCartin (Geelong Falcons) 193cm, 95k Powerful, strong marking forward who is a competitive beast. Has played only one TAC Cup game (4 games) having been on the AIS tour and recovering from a finger injury, but kicked three goals for Vic Country on Sunday. 2. Greater Western Sydney Sam Durdin (West Adelaide) 196cm, 87kg Versatile tall defender who can also play in attack. Returned recently from thumb injury and has played in Reserves and Foxtel Cup for the bloods and is head and shoulders SA's best draft prospect. 3. Richmond Peter Wright (Calder Cannons) 203cm, 102kg "Two metre Peter" has been a popular No. 1 pick for a while. He has kicked 17 goals in his past four matches in the TAC Cup, including six second-half goals against Geelong. Didn't have a great day against Vic Country. 4. St. Kilda Hugh Goddard (Geelong Falcons) 196cm, 93kg Cousin of Bomber and former Saint Brendon. Like McCartin has managed just one appearance for the Falcons this year (3 goals) but starred in attack and defence for AIS. Booted two goals on Sunday and presented well. 5. Melbourne Jarrod Pickett (South Fremantle) 179cm, 74kg Silky smooth midfielder/forward with blistering speed and smarts. Impressed in Europe with the AIS academy and is averaging 22 disposals, 2 goals in WAFL colts. 6. Carlton Tom Lamb (Dandenong Stingrays) 192cm, 83kg Athletic shaggy-haired tall forward who knows where the goals are. Can also play higher up the ground (averaging 23 possessions a game in TAC Cup). 7. Western Bulldogs Jake Lever (Calder Cannons) 192cm, 84kg Will miss the entire season after rupturing his ACL in December but is recovering strongly and is still rated in the top handful of prospects in this draft. 8. Adelaide Angus Brayshaw (Sandringham Dragons) 187cm, 86kg Inside midfielder who has started the TAC Cup season with 24 possessions and 1.6 goals a game. The nephew of North chairman James. Had 32 touches on Sunday. 9. West Coast Clem Smith (Perth) 177cm, 74kg Game-breaking running defender with great speed and a fierce attack on the ball/man. Played three games in WAFL league team averaging 16 possessions. 10. Collingwood (F/S) Darcy Moore (Oakleigh Chargers) 199cm, 93kg Son of former champion ruckman Peter. Has played forward and back for Oakleigh this year and has shown vast improvement in the past 12 months. Struggled on Sunday though. 11. North Melbourne Lachie Weller (Broadbeach) 180cm, 71 kg Brother of Saints player Mav. A clever inside midfielder with good speed and is damaging forward of centre. Played in the NEAFL for Gold Coast in 2013 and again this year. 12. Fremantle Corey Ellis (Western Jets) 185cm, 76kg Smart, left-footed inside midfielder who some clubs rate in the top 10. Averaging 26 possessions a game so far in six TAC Cup outings for the Jets. 13. Gold Coast Christian Petracca (Eastern Ranges) 186cm, 93kg Powerful forward/midfielder in the Stewart Crameri mould and is spending more time in the middle this season for Eastern (21 possessions). 14. Geelong Jordan De Goey (Oakleigh Chargers) 187cm, 82kg Versatile midfielder/forward who reads the play well and is good overhead for his size. Averaging 18 possessions and seven marks a game in the TAC Cup this season. 15. Gold Coast Touk Miller (Calder Cannons) 175cm, 77kg Captain of Vic Metro who is a small, explosive midfielder/forward. Averaged 25 possessions and a goal a game in his first seven TAC Cup matches this season. 16. Sydney Swans (A/S) Isaac Heeney (Cardiff) 186cm, 81kg Swans academy member who is rated in the top handful of midfielders in this draft. Has played senior football in NEAFL and averages 31 disposals in TAC Cup. 17. Hawthorn Jordan Cunico (Gippsland Power) 184cm, 72kg Smart player with lovely kicking skills who can play down back as well as in the midfield. Averaging 22 possessions and a goal a game this season. 18. Port Adelaide Jackson Nelson (Geelong Falcons) 187cm, 80kg Clever running defender who can also have stints in the midfield and did well as a bottom ager last year for Country. Averaging 20 disposals and five tackles for the Falcons. 19. Essendon (C/S) Tyler Keitel (East Perth) 194cm, 98kg Versatile forward who can take strong grab and can also play down back, but is better suited in attack. Has kicked 14 goals so far in six games in the WAFL colts. 20. Greater Western Sydney (C/S) Liam Duggan (Western Jets) 183cm, 76kg Exquisitely skilled left footer who can play at half back and through midfield. Averaging 23 possessions and four tackles a game in five matches for the Jets.

Wise man.

Passed the same spot last year without the same emotions perhaps because it's a part of world history that I studied and from which I learned you don't trust politicians and leaders of armies (although you have to feel for the kids on both sides whose lives and limb were lost for nothing at all).You've done better than your brother-in-law and sister-in-law who sailed past Gallipoli sitting facing the shore and had to be told later that they hadn't even noticed the place.

They could do worse although I suppose it depends very much on the board members.I'm sure Beamer and Stef would feel right at home If you want to hurt them, let them have our previous recruiting personell.

Now seriously folks. Do any of you really know what the Gat really looks like? Surely, those who have passed by these wonderful premises would know that nowadays it doesn't have a 10th floor? The photograph of the entrance tells it all anyway - a wonderful example of post imperial splendor - a place where business executives can take their third wives on an exciting dream honeymoon.

Interesting one OD hi·er·at·ic (hī′ə-răt′ĭk, hī-răt′-) adj. 1. Of or associated with sacred persons or offices; sacerdotal. 2. Constituting or relating to a simplified cursive style of Egyptian hieroglyphics, used in both sacred and secular writings. 3. Extremely formal or stylized, as in a work of art.

You're not a student of history are you?

The Sistine Chapel? Hmm ... I don't recall Micky Mouse being around in the Book of Genesis.

Injury woes and a family connection make this player perfect for the Demons Territory draft prospect out for 12 weeks

Hey Redleg, I hope you're enjoying the overseas tour. I walked past your house this morning and it turns out those painters you have working there seem to have sub let most of the premises to a few former residents of the Gat. Reckons they're your mates and one of them (the most clean cut) looks like BBO. Local pawnbroker is apparently doing heaps of business. Cheers

The point I was making was that the Suns weren't forced to wear that anemic mainly white strip last Sunday but when we go over there, we're forced to wear white. It doesn't make any sense.

Meet Jermaine Lewis-Miller: artist, dancer and football player in the making

Living proof that a fool and his money are soon parted.

No, just the line and length standard menu. I passed on the banana fritters.

Actually ate at Wongs

I think we can squash that one immediately.

BD There was already another thread on that game and it was merged.

If my information is correct then about a dozen Essendon players will be growing voluptuous breasts in the very near future. No idea how or what's making that happen.

Emma Quayle really does lead the way with coverage of potential draftees. Here's her take on what she considers to be an even draft pool in 2014: Why this year 's AFL draft looks the most even in years Meanwhile, despite the absence of the elite prospects on tour with the AIS the AFL Vic Country and Vic Metro training squad trial games get under way this weekend: U18 Vic Country and Metro trial games

Sorry Redleg but you of all people should recognise that you are conflicted and have no right to be judge and jury on this issue. You responded to a reference of Bub's which identified the offending party by his initials and you are therefore both guilty as charged. Forty lashes each by stockwhip at Romsey at midnight on Saturday.

Angus Brayshaw happy to wait for draft opportunity

However, as Redleg the lawyer will tell you, there's a three year limitation period and on 8 July 2014 the time runs out and we will be able to discuss the person and his grossly overweight and overpaid father to our hearts' contents.Additionally, as from that date, posters will also be able to talk BS which they have refrained from hitherto for almost 3 years.

Needs to get a hop along IMO.

Byrnes named best Melbourne player at Casey today ahead of Jimmy Toumpas. One of those two will play next week for Melbourne v Gold Coast.

Would have won by 10 goals if they picked my boy Shannon.
