Demon Disciple

I’m sure the LNP are asking the very same question tonight. Guy saying we have more chance of winning a premiership than getting funding from him has clearly ticked off most of Victoria. Ang good riddance. Time to get back to work Dan, and build our training base!

Gee I reckon the bloke on the bottom left will go alright!

Aren't we bring Maynard onto the main list? Or is that just from category B onto the rookie list

Midday SONS

Might still be there with our 2nd pick.

Yep, the draft used to be somewhat enjoyable, what they have turned it into is a disgraceful, abysmal, farcical circus. Has all the stench and hallmarks of Gill McLachlan ineptitude.

Ian Hill is available, he provides a lot of run and spark, so too is Bailey Williams and Jack Bytel. We've been pushed out to 26 & 31 for the moment, but that might change with likely bids on Will Kelly, Kieren Briggs and Rhylee West.

GWS got in before them.

According to the MFC website, clubs were told by the AFL that they had to use their entire 5 minute time allocation before selecting first round picks tonight. The rest of the draft (commencing at noon tomorrow) the picks can be announced as fast as the clubs want to announce them. Indication again that the AFL has NFI.

Same players will still be available to us

Thank god there is only 9 more picks to go tonight

So over an hour has gone by and only 12 picks have gone through? Jeez this is beyond a joke. The AFL have turned this into a farce. Another feather in Dill's cap!

Probably because we have several inside midfielders on our list. If he has come back to full fitness, i wouldn't hesitate to draft him. After all, we did lose Tyson and Jones is getting long in the tooth and you can never have too much quality. Need to keep the midfield age profile well spread too.

If we were able to also draft a fully fit Bytel as well, that would definitely help our midfield, would be happy with Bailey Williams with our second pick as well.

Does anyone think we might package up picks 23 & 28 for an early-mid teens pick during tomorrow nights draft?

This is what i don't get with these NIMBY's. They hide behind their mantra of protecting the local parkland, yet low and behold, there is this massive structure (MCG) smack bang in the middle of it. How space for another open oval would detract from Yarra Park is completely beyond me. If anything, it would smarten the place up, providing an accessible oval for local residents to use outside of training times. I guess our fall back position could be just training on the G ?

I rate Corey a fair bit higher than Josh.

Legends indeed WJ. The McGannon's association with FCFNC goes back many a generation (too bad they are all Hawks supporters)

you've got to learn to walk before you can run

If we were to draft Matt McGannon with one of our late draft picks, i'd just about blow an O-ring!!!!!

I doubt Clarry will be doing too much, given his double shoulder op over the off-season.

Nope, nope, nope. Teams when entering the league knew full well that AFL Grand Finals are played at the MCG, shouldn't have entered if they don't like it. Beside it's a bloody Grand Final. No matter where or when, teams should be ready to play, it is for the ultimate prize, so there needs no extra motivation to play. Should interstate stadiums get to 100,000+ capacity, and the highest team qualified for the GF is from said state, then so be it, but until then, the biggest game needs to be played in the biggest stadium.

Of course it isn't, football is. And that's quite alright for me!

why not, he seems to have turned into a pretty decent player!
