  1. He sat out the combine due to a shoulder injury. Source afl.com
  2. Aside from one off specials like interviews with Jason Taylor the best thing about Demonland at this time of year is the training reports. I understand that Satyr can rub people up the wrong way but if that’s the case then chuck him on ignore and forget about him. That way those, like me, who want to read his reports can do so and also the Facebook ones too. The more reports the merrier
  3. Think the anti-Saty squad were getting stuck into him a while back and he mentioned that he may not post training reports. I hope that is not the case. I'm an interstater too and depend on him and others to keep us informed.
  4. If we keep getting A.A squad players like Lever we should give up first rounders forever
  5. It’s just the vibe but i like Lever in 8.
  6. Think the only certainty is that Jason Taylor will call a name and we will all go who?
  7. Tomorrow will be draft number 34. Here are games averages for various draft picks. Picks 20-28 Ave games played = 58.3 Picks 29-37 Ave games played = 59.5 (Melb picks 29, 31, 36) Picks 38-46 Ave games played = 53.7 (Melb pick 46) Effectively we could have picks 20, 21, 22 and 23 (ave games 56). Statistically at least there seems to be bit of a lucky dip after the first round. Given that we now have a recruiting team who know what they are doing you would we should end up with at least a couple of very handy players. Get excited about tomorrow!! PS. Favourite stat is pick 53 that gave us both Tom and Oscar McDonald (whose combined jumper numbers equals 53) averages ............... wait for it ............. 53 games.
  8. Apparently has the nickname The Ginger Ninja. Should draft him on that alone.
  9. Oh my. I know highlights package and all but that kid has it doesn’t he. Will be stoked if he falls to us. Actually reminded me a bit of Darcy Parish.
  10. That is a rotten draft year. Hurley as the number one retrospective pick doesn’t scream superdraft. Pretty much matches, was it 2003, when we had two picks in the top 5 (Sylvia and McLean). Top picks in a poor draft.
  11. Callum Coleman-Jones. You would actually struggle to make up a more Melbourne name
  12. Love that report. Only the second training session but instead of looking back on the disgrace that was Rnd 23 I’m now starting to look forward to next season. Max Gawn, by the sounds of it, is the first to be confirmed and verified as training the house down. Happy Days.
  13. Obviously I wish all the players but I must admit I am barracking a bit harder for Dec because of your input on here Drunkn. Your call of "He knows his job is on the line" hits home as to the precarious nature of an AFL players career if you aren’t one of the elite. I very much hope Dec will be playing in the 22. Perhaps a Queens Birthday debut!
  14. Positives 11 games at the G Only four 6 day breaks and one 5 day
  15. Wow. We are at an incredible disadvantage. Good get R & B. Sydney, GWS and Adelaide all are big winners
  16. David Cordner was a poor mans Jack Watts and was there for all but the first year of Barassi’s tenure.
  17. We are the Club Wise. Support staff, coaches and even the players come and go. We, the members, are life-long permanents. If you are a passionate member you should contact the club and they should want to hear feedback from the members. It doesn't matter if it is Gonzo congratulating them on moving Jack along or another member berating them. Of course the ultimate feedback for them is membership renewal. I'm guessing the Club better have a good first few games or it may prove difficult for us to get near last years record.
  18. From this https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/top-aflw-draft-prospects-from-victoria-darcy-guttridge-eden-zanker-olivia-flanagan-maddy-guerin/news-story/5d3be0fd7f409699ed64abd8b5d95ec2?nk=6af62809e39ab12839c737f75cdc4bc6-1508297477 EDEN ZANKER (Vic Country) What kind of player is she? A key 182cm forward who is rarely beaten when marking on the lead or overhead. All-Australian selector Kate Sheahan’s take “Her capacity to mark the ball at the highest point is going to be a really difficult challenge for young defenders to spoil. She kicked the most goals at the carnival as a straight lead up forward. She probably needs to work on her versatility at ground level.” What team would she fit into and why? Again, it’s Collingwood. The Magpies have a small forward line and could really do with a key position player. Having said that, Zanker will also be on the Western Bulldogs’ radar. When Katie Brennan was injured the Bulldogs looked rudderless up forward.

A midfielder with sizzling speed who knows her way around the goals. All-Australian selector Kate Sheahan’s take “I see her more as an outside mid and a winger because her breaking speed is phenomenal. She can really take off. In my mind she looks like she should be a good kick, but that definitely needs some work.” What team would she fit into and why? Carlton would be eyeing off Guerrin to give them some much needed pace like Cat Phillips provided for Melbourne on the wing.
  20. I was thinking along the same lines. Unlike a few on here I’m not sold that T Mac will be capable of being a long term forward option for us. I can see him returning back to defence and could see either O.Mac or Lever given a shot up forward.
  21. Im still a bit unsure about Goodwin but he does not strike me as one who would give up information under any circumstances. Think you would need to plan for the long haul.
  22. Oh dear. i can feel the indignation from the anti-Wattsers Should get us over 200 pages quick smart
