cooko

Jurrah 5 goals.

haha hope so! he has been very quiet the last 2 weeks! you will have to keep us updated mate!

i really hope the dees win this game.. i have had enough of the abuse from people at work on how 'the dees suck'

Perhaps I can help. Dunn was an ordinary footballer in the worst side in the AFL. Sadly, it matters little whether he plays or not.

..but you would think he could get a game before players like Bell, Newton, Fitzpatrick, etc..if he was healthy

is there something wrong with Dunn??

did strauss play??

thanks for the updates guys!

I've tried all the above mentioned league numbers started by some posters including Mr Morton, BringbackBarassi and the like... unsuccessful. They are all full. So I've started another league if anyone is interested to take me on....ha ha.

Demonland Premier League (SUPERCOACH)- "Demonland PL"....superior to all other leagues I guess... B)

League Number: 334516

Come on...I know you want to!

I'm going back-to-back this year.

joined! my team = THE COOKS!!

looks like there is 1 spot left!

careful neita, cooko might make a stupid comment about your post!!!!!!!!!

are you drunk?? you were the dip [censored] that made this insightful comment:

another MISS by Burgan... such a FAIL.

congratulations

Of course I could not do any better, I never proclaimed to be equal, lesser or better than this tool nor have I mentioned anything about having knowledge of the draftees, so you inane comment "and you could have done better?" has not substance in its entirety... You also need to take into consideration that I am an Accountant and not an AFL columnist. As HE is an AFL columnist you would expect a lot more from him. Otherwise you can just get a passionate AFL person to write up their "phantom drafts" & I am sure that they would reach the same if not better results that Burgan would! Obviously a simpleton like yourself is unable to ascertain any of this... Please make sure you pass this onto him next time you have his throbbing man mean deep in your gapping crevice.

Discount the top 10 and his success rate drops even more, which furthers my point more, that this idiot just rips [censored] out of his anus. :D

nice one limp dick

i dont care what people think this bloke is in our best 22! reads the play so well and his pressure is fantastic. dont 4got this bloke killed it in the all stars game and also the intra club match booting four goals. i am petrified on how much trouble him and jurrah could cause.... no really!

and if people 4got how good he is check this out

please aussie stay injury free and entertain us again!!

completely agree.. i think everyone forgets how good this guy was in his first season.. i know it was only a few games.. but he has a lot of potential!!

not playing last year and getting over shadowed by jurrah people have forgotten this.. i am always amazed when reading peoples 'future demon team' and they leave aussie out of the forward line!

As AoB alluded to, this kid needs to be moulded and re-moulded. Everyone, be very patient with this one.

interested to know if you are happy with this pick high tower seeing you werent the biggest fan of fitz coming into the draft..

..happy enough or would you have liked someone else?

another MISS by Burgan... such a FAIL.

and you could have done better?

DB will have definitely stowed away Morton's 3-goal last half from CHF against Geelong (I think) in the memory banks. That was one of THE most significant events of the "experimentation" phase of 2009.

He'll be damaging in any position sooner or later - a nightmare to match up on wherever he plays.

spot on.. it was definitely one of the best results from our experimenting.. would love to see him in the forward line as a tall along side watts in the future.. we have so many potential mids now so we should develop him as a forward we can push up the ground

so happy we got Tapscott.. can see him being a crowd favorite for sure.. plus good move by the dees in bringing more security in keeping trengove around

tapscott = chappy or a white man's byron pickett

Great thread!! thanks to all of the updates guys.. gave me a tingly sensation after reading all the good news..oh boy..

worst coverage ever.. i wont bother with Fox next year thats for sure.. what a joke

what about AH CHEE!!

after watching some online clips of Gawn (very limited).. i am sold !! he is MASSIVE!!

would love those picks!

bring it on!!

Love it!! Very exciting!!

maybe replace Gawn with Vardy.. but very happy with Talia, Taylor and Patrick !!

interesting to see Ah Chee not making the cut.. possible Rookie pick? i was impressed with what i saw of him! Same with Hooper.. probably because of his height?

Mitch Thorpe Melbourne Rookie?

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/bolt...f-1225795936756

Bolt from Top End 

HIS nickname is the "Lajamanu Lightning Bolt", and some Darwin football judges rate him a more exciting prospect than his Walpiri cousin, Demons sensation Liam Jurrah.

Liam Patrick, 21, has been courted by at least four AFL clubs in the lead-up to this month's draft.

He is from the community of Lajumanu, 900km south of Darwin, towards the Western Australia border, and used to drive every week to play in the Northern Territory Football League with the Wanderers Football Club.

With an eye to being drafted, however, he moved to Darwin to enhance his prospects.

Hawthorn and Melbourne are believed to be interested in the 185cm goalkicking utility, while the Brisbane Lions and North Melbourne are said to have been monitoring his form.

Patrick has flown under the radar until now largely because he was more focused on his young family: wife Loretta and five-month-old son Mazlin.

Jurrah, his cousin, became a smash hit with Melbourne last season after the Demons gambled on the Territorian as a rookie draft selection.

39 Haw James Craig

MELBOURNE

PICK 1: Jack Trengove 18

Sturt SA, midfielder 185cm 82kg

The perfect replacement for Brock McLean. Almost single-handedly got Sturt into SANFL grand final this year.

Mature and ready to go - theory is he will be taken at No.1 as he is better equipped to handle pressure.

PICK 2: Tom Scully 18

Dandenong Stingrays, midfielder, 182cm 74kg

Best player in the draft. Wins hard ball and runs just as hard. If Dees had one pick, he would be it. But after the expectation placed on Jack Watts last year, they might decide to shield the local boy a little and give him time to emerge.

PICK 11: Aaron Black 18

Peel Thunder, WA, key forward, 193cm 78kg

With two midfielders in the bank, the Dees will surely look for a tall to complement Watts. Would love to get Butcher, but he'll be gone. Black is a good athlete who has had an impact in WAFL.

OTHER PICKS: 18, 34, 50, 66

CLUB NEEDS: More quality kids. The Dees are solid in defence, but another key forward would be nice.

CLUBS SAYS: "Last year, the quality ran really deep. While we had the No. 1 pick, it was a particularly difficult decision that was made really, really late and I don't think it gave us a great competitive advantage over the first 10 picks in the draft.

This year's draft isn't as good as that. For us to have two of the first eight to 10 picks is a powerful position."

Recruiting manager Barry Prendergast

Blitz!

he actually said it at the draft camp

and you are making up everything you just stated other than north claiming that they want martin. Everything else you said was pure unsourced speculation.

Cunnington getting looked at by tigers and kangas

http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0...5016212,00.html

"Richmond (No. 3) and North Melbourne (No. 5) have their eyes on him in next month's national draft."

Dees taking Trengove with pick 2

http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0...5016212,00.html

"THE player most likely to be taken by Melbourne at No.2 in this year's AFL Draft won't be attending this week's draft camp in Canberra.

Gun South Australian midfielder/forward Jack Trengove will remain in Adelaide to train with Sturt ahead of Sunday's SANFL Grand Final against Central Districts."

http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tab...00/default.aspx

Jack Trengove (South Australia/Sturt)

Did not attend last week's draft camp due to SANFL finals, but his recent form has several recruiters now thinking he should be taken at No.1, ahead of Scully in the draft. The tough midfielder/forward now appears to be one of Melbourne's top two picks.

Tigers Interested in Martin

http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0...5016212,00.html

"RICHMOND is poised to partner midfield gem Trent Cotchin with another outstanding onballer from next month's draft.

Clean-skilled midfielder Dustin Martin has firmed as the Tigers' target after testing brilliantly at the AFL Draft Camp in Canberra this week."

"Richmond recruiting chief Francis Jackson said the club was unlikely to use its first-round pick to draft a top key forward, such as John Butcher."

Morabito to freo

http://www.news.com.au/perthnow/story/0,,2...5005401,00.html

"Morabito and his manager, Colin Young, have told eastern states clubs he would prefer to stay at home.

Brilliant young rover Tom Scully appears certain to be Melbourne's first choice with its priority pick and classy South Australian Jack Trengove the Demons' next pick at two. Tough on-baller Dustin Martin looks likely to head to the Tigers with their first pick."

http://www.news.com.au/perthnow/story/0,,2...5005401,00.html

"Fremantle is expected to bolster its midfield by taking highly sought after on-baller Anthony Morabito with its first pick."

West Coast looking at Lucas and Jetta

http://www.news.com.au/perthnow/story/0,,2...5005401,00.html

"Swan Districts speedster Lewis Jetta or East Fremantle running midfielder Kane Lucas will be targeted to add extra pace to a youthful on-ball battery."

"West Coast and Fremantle are still in desperate need of quick midfielders to capitalise on rebuilding home-ground advantage at Subiaco Oval."

Essendon is also on the hunt for a young gun onballer.

http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0...5016212,00.html

"Essendon is also on the hunt for a young gun onballer.

Bombers football manager Paul Hamilton said: "That certainly is one of our priorities.

"This draft has got some good midfield depth and talent and we feel if we can get a couple of good quality mids, that is going to help us long-term."

butcher won't slide to 11 ppl geez. he will either be picked up by us at 2, richmond at 3. north at 5, sydney at 6, port at 8 or 9 or essendon at 10.

Bailey has hinted that we will pick butcher by saying 'we will be picking up 1 midfielder with our first 2 picks'. You be the judge.

Bailey said that about 6 months ago.. a lot has changed.. it is pretty clear we will be picked scully and trengove 1 and 2.

richmond wont pick him as they have already stated they are keen on martin, north might.. but i doubt they will take a risk and will probably go with cunnington or rohan.. sydney has already said they are very keen on rohan, and port have also expressed interest in the local boys (tapscott & panos) with their 2 picks.. essendon have also stated they want a midfielder as they believe they have their kpp covered..

probably wont happen.. but i wouldnt be so quick to rule our dees getting butcher at 11

:D :D :D

C'mon Cooko.... You wanna be there when it happens.... Admit it.... I could do what Sam Newman did and do it in Rundle Mall.... Right next to the silver balls would be ironic

i feel sick :lol:

You want to hold onto it??? While I cut it off???? hahaha.... You can cup your hands and catch the falling testi if I am wrong....

on second thoughts

Good, i really hope one of talia or butcher slides.

And wtf... about the balls thingy lol

hahah.. i was only trying to say.. i would hold him to his promise of him losing a ball if he is wrong.. i didnt want anything to do with the removal process!!!
