BAMF

Cameron Bruce and Brad Green were both drafted in 99. How come Bruce is the only one eligible for the V.L?

Wow that looks heaps better than the old one. The only problem is that Jack Watts looks like he's running like a girl.

At the time it was a win/win for both clubs. How many games over the past 5 years would we have won if we had kept Jolly? Not any that mattered.

I really don't think he is going to make it to pick 11. He's a machine. He's got a massive kick on him and knows where the goals are. He's AFL ready made. Would be able to rotate through the midfield as well. If he is available at pick 11 we would be fools not to pick him up. He would clearly be best available. We would still be able to pick up Carlise or Griffiths at 18.

I would rather have a punt on Max Gawn at pick 34. 206cm tall. Would have played ruck for Vic Metro this year but got injured pre-season.

Belly had an awesome 2006. Beat just about every player he came up against that year. Never reached the same standard when that collingwood sniper nearly made him a paraplegic. Has never played a good game since. If he is not traded this year, he will be delisted next year. We simply have too much young talent to give him a position on the field.

We would have to have a good think about it if they offered up pick 9. This time last year I reckon most people on these boards would have jumped at the chance to get a first rounder for Jamar. 12 months on he has played some good games. But he has also been out injured for most of the year too. It wouldn't be a straight swap though. We would have to give something else up as well. And no, Bell is not going to cut it, just because he is from S.A.

Good work by Brock. Said all the right things. Dodged the reason why he was leaving very well. God Andy Maher is a [censored]. Carlton did have the chance to take him you idiot. You took Walker instead.

I would have been so angry if we had won more than 4 this year. No doubt this has created an issue with some of the players. No doubt there would be some bad vibes at the club at the moment. The only way this is going to be fixed is by winning some games next year which will no doubt bring the team back together. New season cant start soon enough.

haha! keep it up. it keeps me entertained during the slow part of the year. Where's Nudge this year?

I have to be honest, when you came on these boards last year and were thinking up every single trade under the sun, I found it pretty annoying to read. This year I see your posts and it makes me smile to myself. Its pretty clear that you will not be stopped by anything that anyone writes about your posts. And I love how passionate you must be, and how much time you must spend thinking up trades. You clearly love this time of year. As do I. If Port end up with Pick 8 + 9, they would definitely only give us Pick 9 for Jamar + 18. Jamar played a ripper against them this year. They might have liked what they saw. But I doubt they would give up a first round pick for him. Prior to this year Jamar was a decent 2nd ruck/poor 1st ruck. He improved a lot this year, but was still injury prone. Port are bastards to trade with, they will try and shaft us at every opportunity. Pick 34 + Miller + Valenti would be closer. I think Sydney would be able to pick Valenti up as a recycled rookie for nothing at the end of the year.

192????? Oh [censored]! just forget about him RIGHT NOW! Everyone on here knows how players go at 192! Is there any chance of him growing 1cm more?

I've put this rumour over to bigfooty to see what collingwood supppoters think about it. Bigfooty can be useful sometimes. Big Footy Thread.

I wouldn't really value my opinion much, I've been living in london for the past year and have never seen the players in the flesh. All the info I have gotten has been from other people on website forums and youtube vids. Saying that however - Out of the players I listed. Panos and Talia are the ones who warrant being picked up with pick 11. Everyone else could slide to 18. I would be tempted to take Talia first. He can play either end, and he is Victorian. Then again, I think Panos would be a better forward.

Who are? Demons? or other clubs?

He certainly looks like the player we need from that footage hey? I reckon it will be between Panos or Talia for pick 11.

Got some info on some of them thanks to BigFooty/Demonland/YouTube Ben Griffiths (Eastern Ranges/Vic Metro) – 198cm, 99kg He looks to have excellent pack and contested marking skills aided by his strong pair of hands overhead combined with his above average height and weight for a KF, attack on the contest, long arms and big vertical leap, as well as an absolutely thumping 60m right foot kick (including a very efficient set shot technique), above average pace for his height, good mobility and clean hands at ground level, very quick feeding ability coupled with good vision and timing. He also graduated from the AIS-AFL academy last year. Has got questions marks because he has been injured a fair bit recently. Demonland Thread Griffiths Matthew Panos (S.A)- 193cm, 80kg Leading goal kicker in championships. He's a smart player, he's good below his knees, and he's a good field kick as well as a good set shot. Reminds me of D.Bradshaw. Daniel Talia - 195cm, 80kg - 2 Oct 91 - Calder Cannons One of the best KPP's and the best defender in the draft IMO. Was named as the CHB in the Under 18's AA Team but the thing is he isn't just pinned down in that one position, he is very versatile and can be thrown around depending on situations. At 195cm he is very nice height but will probably need a little time to fill out. His athleticism is good for someone his height, ran under 3 seconds for 20m and 10.30 for 3km at the age of 17. Hard worker who doesn't give up once the ball hits the ground, is very composed with the ball and quick off the mark. Doesn't panic, more often than not makes the right decisions and disposal is very neat. Hands seem solid and attacks contests, not afraid to put his body on the line which is something important for a KPP. He hasn't really translated the talent into consistent performances. His Calder form has been up and down, that could be due to the chopping and changing of positions though. Finished off last year pretty well and showed some of that form in the champs this year. Demonland Thread - Talia Jake Carlisle (Calder Cannons) - 196cm (I think) Only started playing AFL recently. He has beautiful hands and is a very neat kick at goal and has a lot of development still in his body. He moves well and he is improving his skils at ground level and I see a huge upside in him. I just thought at this stage of the draft that the Demons should stockpile another key position player rather than continue to go for mids. Lewis Jetta - 178cm 72kg - Swan Districts (WA) Firstly, the drawbacks : (1) He is a mature age player turning 19 - 20 this year. (2) Slight build and only 180cm so projects as a wingman at AFL level (3) The interview with Lewis and his brother Graham suggested that he is a quiet kind of guy. The positives: (1) Pace and agility to burn and knows how to use it (2) Generally skillful and knows how to kick goals running at full tilt (3) Has been playing on the wing at WAFL level and doesn't seem to lack the endurance to play midfield full time. Demonland Thread - Jetta BigFooty Thread - Jetta Nathan Vardy (Gippsland Power) - 198cm 86kg Ruckman/KPP His leap and tap work at the stoppages was outstanding. He gave his little blokes an armchair ride got good hands and used the ball very effectively. One to watch come draft day. Grown to 201cm and must of put on 2 or 3 kg of pure muscle BigFooty Thread - Vardy

Was not a great season. I'm not writing him off though. Could have a good year next year, he will only ever be a 2nd ruck though.

We could pick up our KPF with this pick. Butcher/Panos/Carlisle/Grittiths. Others i think we may be interested in at 11 or 18 - Jetta, Ah Chee, Vardy

Good bye Brock. You have been my fave since you got drafted. It's a sad day to see you go. I always held out hope that you were going to live up to the expectations. you still might. and that will be very hard for me to watch. Im afraid I don't have this blind love for the club like everyone else seems to. Its players like yourself, Robbo, Woey and Whelan who made me really fall in love for the team. Not the club itself. I wish the best for yourself as a player, and most of me would really love to see you justify yourself as a big name like myself and a lot of other people on here have been saying you could be. But anpther part of me hopes, that you end up never reaching your full potential and we end up looking like the winners out of this deal, because it hurts pretty bad for it to end up any other way. I remeber Caro saying that some of the melbourne players were really upset by the way the melbourne coaching were clearly tanking and can't help thinking this was the fall out from it all.

Ill be keeping an eye on this kid.

Anyone own the latest version of powerpoint?

Hawks, Essendon, Melbourne. The 3 Victorian clubs that have a lot of indigenous players. I reakon we would be the third choice out of the three. Realisticly we would have to give up 18 + a player. Im not sure if im prepared to do that this year. Would be awesome to get him in the PSD.
