WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - GUY WALKER
Good to see the recruiting staff still thinking outside the box. I hope they continue to follow Will Sutherland's cricket career. He was an absolute weapon as a junior.

What the Fritsch
He's a fantastic user of the footy that's for sure. I'm often confident when he's going for a contested mark or kicking the ball. Great find MFC.

Adelaide’s Tom Lynch
I'd rather pass on Adelaide's Lynch. Signing T.McDonald should be much higher on the priority list. Not only do I think he's the better player but it's also beneficial for club culture. If the club sees a need to target an additional tall forward, out of fear Hogan may not re-sign next year, then do it properly and go for Gold Coast's Tom Lynch.

THE BOMBERS' DOPING SAGA - THE FAT LADY SINGS
I find it hilarious, especially after seeing the Essendon banner last weekend (snow joke). After watching the B-grade news tonight I threw a few quiet fist pumps in the air. That smart-ass infested club really is cementing their drug-related reputation.

Sam Weideman
In hindsight there have been a lot of draftees I wish the club had taken, but I don't see Weideman as a mistake. As others have said, on draft night Weideman was deemed the potential steal of the draft. That year he endured injury-induced setback after setback, but when he played he was spectacular. For example, he convincingly beat the number one defender of his cohort, Aaron Francis (went pick #6), when they went head-to-head. He also was one of the best on ground players when he played a half of football against a VFL side. Finally, he had premiership captain next to his name from the year prior. Yes, Curnow looked sensational last night, and yes, I would like him at the Dees. But at the time of the draft he had just been arrested for drink driving and subsequently refusing to perform a breath test. He came across as a bad-boy, a meat-head, whatever you want to call him. The club obviously questioned his ability to commit to being a full-time professional athlete. Yes, we chose the "nice guy" who had, and still has, great potential. Sure, we could have selected the "mongrel", however, based on the facts available at the time that "mongrel" may potentially damage the culture of the club or have off-field issues such as Dayle Garlett or Jake Stringer.

What the Fritsch
Let's hope the best thing to come from Jack Watts was Pick 31 of the 2017 draft, which we used to select Bayley Fritsch.

Welcome to Demonland: Bayley Fritsch
Am I the only one concerned that we picked a bloke the drinks a lot and goes out partying with Jaime Elliot? On a serious note, a great pick up and a credit to everyone involved at Casey.
