I dont know Cards, some of his comments reek of sour grapes. No need to take a swipe at the club, paints him a bitter sook IMO; Having had such a disappointing year, I am sad to probably be leaving the AFL environment, but I am not so disappointed to leave the Melbourne footy club

I think Magner has just learned a lesson about talking to the media when emotional comes accross as a sook

Palmer is the rising star who has done nothing since! & Trengove has thrown down an achors since his first year or so. Rich went somewhat quiet, but he is now delivering regularly for the lions. he's a gun.

Forget it. WInes strikes me as the loyal type, he's a PAFC player

Im not keen. He's Nicho/Bail 2.0

When Bennell was delisted i tended to agree with the sentiment you describe above Ron. However, OldDee's mate #43 #7 played for the WAFL side i follow this year and i think its fair to say he's not upto it. SUre he does the occasional nice thing, but he just doesnt get involved anywhere near as often as he could/should. I think West Coast have been duped in a similar way to the preseason training report scibes on Demonland had been for years! Sure he has tidy skills & good pace, but he's never going to be a long term best 22 player IMO

The talk over here is that the Kanga's are into him. If/when Garlett is drafted to an AFL club he will play forward, but may end up playing through the midfield once he develops the tank to do so. Has the tools to be the next generations Wiz

Nicholson under Roos might be the next Crowley or Clancey Pearce under Lyon?

not that im proud of it, but I was always a fan of Gysberts! Too good for VFL, but not good enough for AFL?!

Not the best news, but he may well play more games next season than he did this year!

Agree Treloar is the pick of their young mids IMO. I would happily do a deal for him using pick 9. lets hope SOS comes to the party, blinded by his draft pick addiction!

I hope this is true, because every Freo supporter in the west reckons they're going to poach him from us after his first two years!

Not this again!

I think he looks like a mid 30-40's pick. Doubt he'll lay for the dees

Hawks in Tassie

I agree, but michie also won a b and f in a state league this year, and peel have the alignment with the dockers. Ps. I see a lot of people naming him on a wing. IMO he's more of a ruck rover or centerman, good at the inside stuff and reads the ruck taps very well

Dear rpfc, We'd all appreciate an update when you get a chance, Love always, Demonland

I just like the fact that our pick is late enough in the top 10 that whoever we pick wont have quite the level of hype that we've placed on Trengove, Toumpas etc. Pick 9 is late enough that the recruiters will have a decision to make, where as pick 1,2,3,4 are usually decided based on AFL media group think

I thought they were Tigers people, thus he tried hard to get a trade to richmond last period?

Great trade! Tyson will have an impact from the get go, and pick 9 will land another quality young midfielder

I don't mind this, however blease for Mitche doesn't sit well with me. Viv is the definition of injury prone, he is a gamble. I'd keep an unfit ranga who knows where the goals are and has pace to burn over an injury prone midfielder who hasn't been able to show any consistent form at afl level.

Fixed!

Shuey had bad run with injuries for a while there and Fyfe was "another skinny kid" when he was drafted. I doubt they'd be the player they are today at the Dees. the Pity is not who we have picked but our 'development plan'. It seems like we planned to draft a whole heap of kids and throw them in the deep end and hope they learned how to swim butterfly. What we ended up with was a whole team of kids who can only doggy paddle.....

I'd happily trade pick 2 for a combo of player/picks. As long as we have a pick inside the top 20 we are well positioned to get a good young midfielder on the list

If it is true, then at least he accumilates the footy on the HBF!
