Some of those highlights at club games are probably footage from MFC recruiters who are paid to watch players with a view to picking the best player at our available picks. All the afl.com highlights showed him kicking in the left when he is a right footer. The club highlights show good forward play which is what JT spoke about. They have put their last 12-18 months plus into this year's draft stock, so I'll back then in and am excited with both Jackson and Pickett

So I want to take my son this Friday. Reading a few reports looks like I should get there around 9 am ? He is only four so I don't want to be hanging around for over an hour of nothing is happening. How long does training usually run for?

Not against it good insurance and may actually be good alongside weid and tmac to take off pressure

Yep looks like T Mac, sure isn't Steve may

Looks leaner than last year. That will do me. If he remains uninjured all year that's a win showed in the few games he played how good he can be for us

Definately stood out looks much bigger. Hopefully putting in the work on the legs as well. More important to have a strong legs and core to hold your ground. Good signs though

The source I have at Carlton mentioned this is the only thing they are concerned about as Tony Cochrane is an unpredictable unit

Not worth giving another thought the Blues can have him.

I heard from someone in the know at Carlton that they will front load at 800k for the first year and offer a five year deal. He is not coming to us.

Rediculous post

What's this about have they been filmed with having fun with the uncle Dougs

I like that the last thing he mentions is using the footys from day one training.

+Away game vs bombers

Surely if medical etc went well he will be a demon. Why would we officially declare interest in him if not. And he allowed himself to be interviewed talking about the dees and playing on the G. Id say he is a lock. Will look silly if he chooses another club.

He will be a good player. Lots of upside

100% agree. of interest how would we get him. Pre season draft.

Id go Lockhart Has got footy smarts and good disposer. Ideal long term replacement

Would be embarrassing if we go all out and try get him to the club and match salary etc and he still chooses Carlton. Gotta have a crack though

We obviously rated Langdon higher who plays the same role. Based on the last 2 years I think we went after the right guy.

This kind of optimism had no place in demonland. Are you a new supporter? ?

Not a fan. Both have been underachievers and looked a bit soft IMHO

What would the Hawks give us? Hawks have Pick 11,30,50,87. Pick 30 is about right I think , 50 is Unders of the back of his 2019. This is where Mahoney and co need to be smarter when discussing our own players during trade week. Talk them up even if you don't rate them helps drive up the price. We suck at this

He was great in the first 2-3 years with us then got "Melbourned"

The now Collingwood version not the soft turnover merchant version we had in his last two years with us.

That makes zero sense. So do Judd's comments about gc getting pick 10 .
