Like all human beings- some mature quicker than others- he may be alightly slower ,al be it he is only just turned 23. Not old for a tall player.

Shocking bad luck ,especially when he was showing so much guts going for the ball,no talk by Palmer unfotunately.

No stroke just correcting you-Bohden was head of fitness up to 2009 pre season- he still plays a very pivotal part in our fitness team.

I agree = deserves another opportunity.

Still drafted-- many have been great rookies.

Jack Darling is another Butcher. Showed he was far better than most in the Under 16's and last year due to his matured body. He is 190 cms tall & well built now - but has not got great upside. IMO- will go around 10th pick. Will be another Daniel Rich IMO- ready for action straight away.At 190 cms tall- is he a pivotal forward?-- I don't think he can play in the AFL at 190 cms tall in such a key role as CHF or FF.. Again, I might be wrong but I do not think so. My top 3 so far are: Swallow Bennell Day Surprise pick could be --Daniel Gorringe.Another Mathew Watson.

Panos was drafted by the Bulldogs - you goose

Both have great potential- but still have to do it.Bate has up to this stage but is definately spasmodic. But still the best we have so far.Proof is in the pudding mate.

Bate is our best forward apart from Green. Morton will become a good player. Neither will be superstars. But Blease and Tapscott have the ability to become SUPERSTARS.And remember I will be spot on with this.And I rate Sylvia when fit in our top 10.

You will have to report on the islands later on- in themeantime we will play wellagainst the saints and deflate the Bombers wings.

I had the same problems with the radio- thks for updates everyone

Just namedhttp://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/97405/default.aspx The 2010 NAB AFL All-Australian team is as follows: Defenders: Ben Jacobs (VM), Matt Watson(VM), Dyson Heppell (VC), Shaun Atley (VC), Patrick McCarthy (SA), Brodie Smith (SA) Midfield: Jared Polec (SA), Daniel Gorringe (SA), Andrew Gaff (VM), Mitch Hallahan (VC), Anthony Miles (NSW/ACT), Tom Liberatore (VM) Forwards: Harley Bennell (WA), Lucas Cook (VC), Adam Treloar (VC), Jayden Pitt (VC), Steven May (NT), Josh Caddy (VM) Interchange: Sam Day (SA), Josh Bruce (NSW/ACT), Josh Green (Tas), Sam Darley (TAS) Coach: Robert Hyde (VC) Assistant coach: Matt Armstrong (Tas) Not surprised Jack Darling did not make it- but he will be up there when picks are taken.And Deeluded- May included.

Martin, Tapscott, Blease do not play till 5.45 tonight in the 2nds.

WYL will have to sign some up -re membership

Jack will be keen to do well as he comes from this area and needs to do a good job. Casey should win easily with this team in..

Name sakes -Tom Lynch do not seem related -one has long blondish hair the other red head- one is taller and better built- being the non Sainter.He could be a good get later in the draft. He shows definate promise.

I didn't say we would get him, just said I'd like to get him.

A superb article that even brought a tear to my eye. Just shows how lucky we are with the new board we have,along with Schwabby and C.C.

Last week did show up a real weakness re our height restrictions in the backline. I think Martin should be now groomed for say a backline role with a turn in the ruck whwn required-similar to Tippet when he goes from a forward to a ruckman.

Fitzgerald is quite athletic with good solid pace- however felt a few were in front of him for us.Agree that we definately need a tall back & at least one tall forward.

Firstly,it is my opinion - they (MFC) will try to get him across for the 2012 year. However, he may be able to do part of a pre season with us. Chris Johnson came over as a 16 year old and done the same.However he will not be able to be drafted as a MFC PLAYER TILL 2012. Looking at the carnival itself, I went and watched all the games that we had in Victoria with the view of looking at who we may recruit. I basically looked at talls. These are the ones- that I liked overall.One exception to the talls is a devoted Dee supporter who would love to be picked up-Andrew Gaff- born -16 June 92, 183 -78 in weight. Absolutely was a star over the whole carnival, starred in South Africa would make an absolute gun running small defender whom can run throuh the guts. Plenty of talls have shown up--I believe the best and most picked will come from here but SA will have plenty .Well more than WA. Talls to be considered are: (SA) Gorringe- a S.A-198 athletic tall- whom can play ruck and can play all key positional roles.I think he will go top3. Day- 195 cm,90 kl whom can play at both back and front.However a more a backman at this stage. Patrick McCarthy-194/ 79 kl a very athletic back whom will develop into a top class footballer. Zac Fitzgerald- versatile tall 192/85 whom Deeluded liked alot. From Vic Country. Josh Walker 194 cm/84 kl whom played on the forward line and kicked well. Grandson of Peter who played CHB for Geelong in the 60's. Lucas Cook- tremendous upside for this tall forward or back- 194 cm/82 who has the build to grow.Isaw him kick some sensational goals and yet star in another game at CHB. Tom Lynch- 196 cm/86 tall forward comes from Dandenong showed real class and a real smokie in my opinion.Born in October 92 so could grow a little more and has body to fill out. Cameron Delaney 191/ 81 kl backman. From Vic Metro-Darcy Barden was the best tall IMO- 192/91 could trim down a little but put on muscle.Can also play back. Alex Johnson,CHB-how is not frightened to come forward and kick goals.Could definately turn out to be an excellent tall-192/ 80 a real dark horse. A Mathew Watson, nephew of Steve Allesio former ruckman at Essendon is the one that impressed me the most.194,99 born July 92 therefore currently 17 whom really shone in defence.Great kick .I rated him better than Hurley when he played two years ago. Jack Darling, 190/86 born June 92 is a star already however how much upside is questionable.However is like Rich will be a ready made player straight away. A small forward really took my eye from Tasmania -Charlie RIEWOLDT-183 cm/74 kl brother of Jack born sept 92 so has upside to grow. Will be another to star later on. Andrew Phillips a tall ruckman who could play as a tall forward also impressed me from Tas- 200/91 however an overage July 91 could also get picked up. Joseph Groenewegan ,198 back/ruck a former son of a Bulldog may also be looked at. No doubt several others not named will be looked at- however I just thought I would share some of the players whom we may looked at--At least a lot of talls to be considered.And my last predictions.Most players drafted will come from Oakleigh Chargers.

Played ok- not as good as Watson for Vic Metro- Back to Javk Viney.He has been playing for Noth Adelaide Reserves whilst still eligable for Under 16's.So you are right re BP must have been referring to Under 16 carnival. This means he will not be drafted in 2012,to play 2013.Comments from North Adelaide site says....ROUND 6 MACCA’S CUP MOST VALUABLE PLAYER From the SANFL - Melanie Reid Congratulations to Jack Viney from North Adelaide Football Club for winning the Round 6 Macca’s Cup Most Valuable Player award. The 16 year old, who wore guernsey number 20 on the weekend, played a very strong all-round game at Macca’s Cup level for a player still eligible for the U16 competition. He amassed 40 touches and kicked two goals in North’s 29-point victory over Central District. Judges said the 2009 SANFL/SSSSA U16 State Team member demonstrated hardness at the ball and at the opposition throughout the match. He wins a Skins garment and a Macca’s prize backpack complete with hat, towel and drink bottle courtesy of McDonald’s. Therefore we need to recruit tall psitional players over the next two drafts IMO.

I liked a guy called Watson from Vic Metro-16th July 92 birth-194 cms 98 kls.starred last game against WA. Played on Darling and beat him. Got a good build-reasonable pace,stong excellent kick and can play re back or forward .Currently playing for Calder Cannons -will be well groomed.Jason McCarthy has been putting time into him.

I think Bruce is near fininshed-great post above,I agree whole heartedly.Either shift Grimes to the guts,Bruce to the wing and Cheney in.It must be heart breaking for a young man like Cheney not getting a go.

Again-I disagree with you- Darling has class- he also can win a game off his own foot but he also is tough. A great mix for us.
