BAMF

Protected player again this year. I'm not going to forget how he got away with driving his elbow into pavlich's face. Should have been 2 weeks minimum. Instead he gets a brownlow. Umpires award indeed.

How did matty Watson go?

Far out. What is it with this guy and demonland?

2 years ago.

Oh cool. In that case I would like to clone Hitler and play him in the back pocket.

It's not just the bulldogs who turn on their champions. Many demons supporters turned on Yze and Robbo before they left. The bulldogs look gone for the short term though. There depth is rubbish and have about 5 best 22 players leaving this year. Lucky that they have 2 father son picks in the draft. Couldn't have come at a better time for them.

Who is Bruce's manager? He is worth every cent Bruce pays him. Last time Cameron's contract was about to get renewed there were rumours flying left right and centre. Brucey got a good deal then and is holding out for a better one now. He won't be going anywhere.

Yep. I agree with you. My point is it would be hard to work out what is a free and what isn't when carlton players would play it up every second time. I thought the umpiring was of a good standard

Give the umpires a break. It's a very hard game to umpire. Let alone when you have Murphy playing to get free's and appealing to the umpires every second moment. And then you have Waite taking a dive every chance he gets.

Seriously. If he was the 2nd best kick in our team then this thread would not exist because we would have renewed his contract a long time ago.

Why the hell would pavlich want to become a demon? Money? Gold coast would offer him more. Premierships? He is playing finals right now with the team he is with already. Pavlich always waits until his season is over before signing a new contract. And he recently married a freo girl. He's not going anywhere.

Bit of a misleading thread title there mate. We need him for a few more years. His disposal is not good and I can't see it getting better.

Matthew Watson is a tall defender. If he manages to slip to us I believe it would be mad to pass on him. Here is some info I have taken from snoopdog from bigfooty. Snoop has picked Watson at pick 13 in a bigfooty phantomdraft. Re: 2010 Big Footy Official Phantom Draft- Trial Run Gold Coast Suns MATTHEW WATSON Pick 13: Matthew Watson DOB: 16/07/1992, Height: 194cm, Weight: 99kg Club: Calder Cannons GC need another tall defensive option IMO and I decided that I would pick up a more bigger bodied defender who can play on the gorrilla forwards, and Matthew Watson is that type of player. He is one of the best KPD's in the draft IMO and provides good drive coming out of defence through that wonderful left foot of his. I can see him being a ready made player and I think he will have an impact next year, I see him as a similar type of player to Michael Hurley from the Bombers in that ready made KP prospect, although Watson is probably only going to be a defender at this stage. He reads the play well and is very strong in the contest and good at getting in a fist, he is also quite good defensively on the lead but may struggle against the atheltic players with pace off the mark. Another issue IMO is how ready made he is, very similar to Darling and whether he has been dominating due to his size, and whether this will translate to AFL, but IMO I think there is enough ability there to make sure it does. Skills wise Watson is very good, he has a lovely long left foot, that is powerful accurate and will hit most targets, he will provide a lot of drive from defence and zones will be easier to pick out, Geez GC are going to have some gun kicks in there defence with potentially Josh Toy and Trent Mckenzie all able to kick 60m as well. He also is very strong in the contests and rarely gets pushed off the ball, and he reads the play very well. He is also quite clean below his knees and is able to compete well when the ball is on the ground and is very competitive and tackles strongly. Athletically I have a few question marks on Watson, Draft Camp will be important. He appears to have reasonable pace, but may struggle with fast lead up players, and he has also got above average agility and a solid vertical leap. He is not got standout qualities like Patrick McCarthy but he does have a good slid base and no real weakness, I would like to see him improve his endurance. All in all he is very good prospect who is good defensively and also provides great rebound, there were a couple of others considered here but none had the all round package of Watson and he compliments McCarthy nicely.

Taken from Bigfooty Boards: Name: Lucas Cook Height: 194cm Weight: 82kg DOB: 3rd March 1992 Position: Tall Forward Club: North Ballarat Rebels TAC Cup Statistics: http://www.sportingpulse.com/team_in...102897-8058800 Video Footage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Svd3Qc64k0w In 2008 Cook played three matches for Vic Country in the NAB AFL Under – 16 Championships, averaging 13 disposals, three marks, and 4 inside 50’s, and also 5 matches for North Ballarat in the TAC Cup. He backed this up to play 15 games as a lead up key forward, scoring 14 goals at an accuracy of 64%. He also tallied 23 score assists – ranked equal 9th in the competition. AFL Prospectus An exceptional first game of the championships, in which he kicked five goals against Vic Metro, including three in three minutes in the second quarter, stamped him as a key forward prospect. He leads well, can take a pack mark, and is capable of scooping the ball off the deck. Intensity has been a question, but maybe not now that’s he growing more confident. Paul Daffey The key forward impressed for Vic Country in the Under 18 championships and has taken his game to a new level in the TAC Cup. He is a mobile forward with a good leap and clean pair of hands. He presents well to the ball carrier and his set shot kicking is technically sound. Cook will need to have a big finals series for his team to progress. TAC Cup website

That's awesome. Really cool getting insights from people in the club. Defiantly should do it again. Next time he does it we should get a whole group of questions posted on here that he could answer. I really loved it when Craig Cameron used to come on here around trade time and have a chat. Hopefully Cam can join up and give us some info on here too.

I would really like to see an un-cut version. I know they are trying not to glorify drugs. But I want to know why he did it? What made him keep going? What he felt like before and while getting high. Did he ever think he shouldn't be doing this? None of these answers yet. Just the usual. Drugs are bad, [censored].

There is no point saying 'if he was drafted at 60...' Because he wasn't. Kids who are drafted at pick 60 are the one's who haven't had a such a good junior career. His draft position is based on his junior career. Which was good. He has shown nothing at the higher level yet, but has not had a substantial run without injury. I'm not saying he will make it. He will have to stay injury free next year. But de-listing such a promising junior because he hasn't shown much yet is silly.

Wow. You need to watch a few more casey games. Strauss has shown some skills down at casey and has been injured. Isacc showed very little and was rarely injured. An opposition recruiter would lick his lips if we tried to put him on the rookie list. Because to do that he has to be delisted first.

He's been injured. Will definately need time and a good pre season. Myself and a few other posters really wanted Swift at pick 19. We would have overpaid if we picked zaharakis. Although I was a fan of his too. Swift hasn't been too good this year either though.

You are dreaming if you think we would get a first round pick as compensation. After 2nd round at best.

Hughes has been on our lists for a total of 4 years. He is injured far too much to be retained on potential anymore.

no trades please. Let's top up with some more kids. Hopefully unearth another gem or two. A lot if posters seem to think we are on the verge of a premership rather than on the verge of making the top eight. We will have a chance to top up when we are closer and will be able to evaluate much better than the guesswork going on here.

Addams maric is not happy at the demons and is being traded at the end of the season http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=722372

How did Max Gawn go?
