I'm sorry for bursting you bubble. You can continue living in your fantasy land thinking that there is a market for a woman's game. Have a look at the woman's soccer league. Average attendance is the the hundreds and the only reason they are shown on TV is due to the ABC's equal representation policy. I'm all for woman playing whatever sport they want but I'm not deluded with thinking that there's is a viable market out there for them.

The game wont get much TV time and not more than a few hundred people will attend the matches. Without financial support from TV or crowds the game will never be more than a novelty. I for one have no interest seeing woman play AFL. I have limited time now as it is to watch the men's game

Good call.

That is correct. Scully had/has poor skills by foot. Check out his game against SA in 2009. Parish's highlights show that he has above average foot skills.

Parish seems very similar to Tom Scully.... http://afldraftinfo.blogspot.com.au/2009/10/tom-scully-dandenong-stingraysvic-metro.html I always thought that Tom was too skinny for a midfield roll. In his first few years he kept getting pushed off the ball and was unable to shrug tackles. This should be a red flag to the football department.

I don't believe either Curnow or Weideman will be available. Either Essendon or Gold Coast will nab him

I also think max king's future is limited in the AFL. I do believe the football department see a weakness with our tall forward stocks. If Dawes doesn't improve we are essentially left with Peders and Hogan.

Has some potential however 200 cm players are a bit of a risk. Could take 5 years before knowing if he can play at the top level

Looks good below the knees considering he is 200cm. Also seems like a good kick:. Might take a few years to develop

AFL phantom draft has us picking up Harry McKay Fox Footy's Phantom Draft: The Top 25 top prospects ranked Anyone heard of this kid?

The only issue I have with the NT is the Darwin game as it saps our energy for the next week. Ideally, we should schedule the game before the bye. The Alice game is fine. Only a 2.5 hour flight with dry weather in the low 20's.

The explanation is that we are one of the lowest drawing Melbourne sides. Draw a crowd of 70,000 and the game will move back to the G'.

The chances of playing one of the top 4 teams twice is 100%. We are lucky that we only play Hawthorn twice.

Get over it. Its not like they moved us to Moorabbin. Every team plays at Etihad and I belive the ground suits Roo's game style.

We play the bottom 4 sides 7 times. Can't complain with that.

I actually like the fixture: We are only playing top 8 sides x 9 . under 50% We play the bottom 4 sides x 7

Wow... I like this kid. 187cm 85kg What position do the pundits have him in?

Agree...

Not a big fan of what I see in his highlight reel. I think he too small for the modern day midfielder. He will get pushed off the ball too easily. Same height and weight as scully who found it hard for the first 5 years to make his way through the middle. We need 185cm 83+ kgs players.

Are there any highlight videos of Curnow?

I also think Fitz showed some promising signs this year and found a niche out of the backline. Would have been worth to put him on the rookie list to see if he continued developing in that position. Not too sure if we need another tall backman.

Not too sure why we were so keen of pick 3? Seems like Curnow and Weid would have been available at pick 6 http://m.afl.com.au/news/2015-10-18/phantom-form-guide-update

Are you sure we can do this? Seems to go against the spirit of the agreement

We essentially swapped Howe for Kennedy:.. Way unders Toumpas was traded to port for pick 29 - unders imo Lose 6, 29 and a 2016 round 1 pick... Gain 3, 10 and 44 - square.:: So overall I don't think we have come out in front.
