  1. So who to believe? I think former Melbourne doctor Peter Brukner is advising against Lever and May coming back too soon while the Demons appear to be pushing for them to be back playing asap. These are two major of the club’s major assets and we have two games in five days. Caution is warranted.

    im happy to nominate for the draft too to make it 4

    • Luke Morrell
    • Alonzo Rockland-Nelson
    • Orlando Turner
    • Kaleel Ross
    • Buay Duac

    these were the names in an afl.com.au article about NGA prospects listed for this seasons intake

    i remember all the fuss at the time was about riak andrew's ommision

    The Melbourne NGA covers parts of NT (Alice Springs) and it has a Victorian zone as well. Luke Morrell is from Beaconsfield, Buay Duac plays for the Dandenong Stingrays via Seaford/South Mornington.

  3. I wonder when some of these height and weight measurements are done. The height and weight stats for some players varies markedly, especially for key position players and ruckmen.

    The player in our range who impresses me is Busslinger. I have the feeling that, provided he recovers from his surgery, he could walk into a key defensive position more readily than a Jefferson into a forward line, even at Melbourne. If the club does experiment with Petty as a KPF then Busslinger might be worth a try.

  4. It’s a Catch 22 situation. If he performs to a high standard, someone else will draft him in the first 40. If not, then he’s available if we want him.

    Where’s the incentive to develop young players if other clubs gain from the fruits of our labour?

  5. MRP finding 

    Braydon Preuss, GWS GIANTS, has been charged with Striking David Mundy, Fremantle, during the third quarter of the Round Four match between Fremantle and the GWS GIANTS played at Optus Stadium on Saturday April 9, 2022.

    In summary, he can accept a one-match sanction with an early plea.

    Based on the available evidence, the incident was assessed as Intentional Conduct, Low Impact, High Contact.

    The incident was classified as a one-match sanction as a first offence. The player can accept a one-match sanction with an early plea.

    Jay Lockhart - going to Southport 

    Zac Foot - going to Southport

    Corey Stockdale - to Norwood SANFL

    Corey Machaya - local footy Cora Lynn 

    Jack Hutchins - off to Mansfield 

    Two of the better Stingrays in 2021 Clayton Gay and Bayleigh Welsh are off to West Adelaide SANFL

    Seems many youngsters want the guaranteed game time rather than the limited or unlikely call ups to Casey 

    Looks like it’s Matt Buntine plus the likely returning group of White, Munro, Grey, Sparkes, Freeman & Goonan. 

    Don’t forget Corey Ellison.

    Howes is said to be under strong consideration by the Giants who have been constantly linked with Mac Andrew. 

    Who would take Andrew if not GWS? 

    The supporters of other clubs on various other online sites I’m reading are only lukewarm about him are more interested in the more popular midsized players in the draft. 

    Gold Coast, Fremantle, St Kilda?

    True.

    And if you dont like the player who will be available at your pick, then you try and trade the pick up or down the list.

     

    But it’s not a matter of whether you like the player but whether you’re making your selection decision based on picking the best player available. That’s no longer the case when people talk of selecting on needs alone or on a vision of what a player might be three or four years down the track.

    We may be able to game the system if Mac is still available at 17, which will be 19. Bid on Fahey so GWS match, then we have pick 20. Select who we want then Mac can be bid matched. Very unlikely he is not gone by then though.

    I don’t think that’s a likely scenario because by 19 GWS doesn’t have any picks left to go before 20 anyway. There’s also a chance that GWS won’t match themselves.

    I'm guessing we aren't making room for Andy Moniz-Wakefield by the looks of it and now seems Taj Woewodin may also miss out on a spot.

    By leaving out Hore and Declase, we will have room for Taj Woewodin. Depending on how things pan out in the draft, we would also have scope to rookie AMW as a Category B but he’s more in the long term speculative development mode.
