Didn't big tony make #14 his 'own' before changing to #4 after all; he had played 80 games, won a brownlow and kicked 300 goald (117 in 1987)

only weakness is really tall defenders.... Tall Defenders 9 M.Hudghton 191 M.Maguire 190 S.Fisher 191 S.Gilbert 194 J.Gwilt 188 J.Blake 191 L.Miles 191 G.Chivers 189 K.Haretuku 198 Medium/Small Defenders 6 J.Gram R.Clarke L.Fisher J.Attard (inj) S.Dempster M.Ferguson B.Howard Ruck 5 S.King M.Gardner...

Raymond at 186cm and with good evasive skills and sticky fingers was a chance, Josh Houlihan at 184 cm silky skills, again very good evasive skills - a chance.....but at under 70kg, both were too light, but more importantly too 'outside'...... To make it with physical limitation there needs to be sp...

Yes - the VFL is a TERRIBLE competition..... :roll: considering the best of the VFL are generally AFL listed players from 10 clubs.....and they FLOG the SANFL and WAFL without any of those available..... BTW the stars are Steve Harrison - Former Captain 5 times Best and Fairest & VFL rep Nigel C...

I get a lot wrong......but two things I do are this..... 1) watch them at training - focus on skil level and work ethic (for anyone who wonders why Reiwoldt is so good, go to training and focus solely on him and you'll see) 2) watch them at Casey - focus on ability under pressure, and work rate... m...

I disagree about that all picks after 30 being speculative... Was Jarred Allen - an AA U18, and best FF n the TAC Cup a speculative pick at #59.....he may turn out to be no good....but he has the pedigree... Sweeney from Tyabb Gwilt from Noble Parke Raymond From Sacred Heart College Van Reehnan from...

It's my Opinion......you have yours....

Have you seen Eljay - do you know much about him.....he was obviously a speculative pick...and IMOwill struggle to make an impact...

I had a similar argument with a tool about J.Sweeney (who is far ahead of Eljay)...

Why is reporting what I actually see 5 meters in front of me 'stroking my ego' explain that .....you are a f*n idiot sometimes......if I want to stroke something, I wouldn't use the internet to write a training report.... sometimes people react poorly when they don't hear what they want to hear....f...

Out of interest.......I know some...I think Austin Jones - Gippsland Power Coach Fergus Watts - VAFA somewhere Daniel Healy - SANFL somwhere Craig Callaghan - WAFL somewhere Brett Voss - old Hailebury Steven Lawrence - Port Melbourne Matthew Capuano - ?????? Steven Powell - ??????? Justin Plapp - Bu...

has hardly been sighted at training this pre-season....why? Numbers in the rehab group were plenty as usual, including our two recycled ruckmen (Gardy and King)...with Hayes, Montagna, Goddard, Hudghton, Gehrig, Milne... Ball, Schnieder, Barlow, X, Harves, Gilbo, Bakes, Gram just running laps...Harv...

I wish we could re-visit this post in two years....

Would have much preferred Gourdis (who reportedly has a great attitude and character) with our last pick.....he had a great championships at CHF....is an athletic CHF.....needs development....he maybe another Dicketts, Kirkby or may be a steal....like that kid from sydney... Young Eljay is a real pr...

Why could he not play KP????? 194cm, played there in Brisbane before he was drafted, played CHB for the allies vs Victoria in an U21 game, was drafted with the Bio of being a CHB, played at FB at Casey since he has arrived. Obviously he cannot play ther ATM due to strength, but plays his best footy ...

Allen has not the speed for a KPP deep defender...... Sam Gilbert, whilst now is playing as a runner due to his lack of size will definitly end up a KPdef.....when he adds strength....his run is good, but his skill below his knees and kicking will stop him from being a pure mid. Sam's development wa...

Why would it bother you if someone says well done to me....big deal, it's all a bit of fun...very few get it right after R1......IMO you have come off sounding a bit like a jealous tool, when there is nothing in it...

May not work out....but can't hurt....he is well respected at Moorabbin...pick 57 for a 1 year player who might kick 70.....or a kid who may be a champion or maybe a dud......worth the gamble IMO

How many times have you seen him play mate......give the lad a chance...

Could be another Kosi aswell......who was also a key fwd/Ruck rated the best contested mark in the TAC cup with some agility/pace concerns...but good leadership from the Murray...

30 seconds of video on the afl website on McEvoy.....

I think our (realistic) wish list is - in order

David Myers
Ben McEvoy
Cyil Rioli
Lach Henderson
Pat Dangerfield

Later Pick we have been linked to
Hugh Sandilands, Brent Connelly, Haelan Kay, Rohan Bail

We draft a lot of players from Queensland and Gippsland, and probably will again...

After gathering info here's how I see it Pick 1-Kruzer Pick 2-Cotchin (will look at Morton, but cannot pass on him) Pick 3-Masten (higher than he should but eagles like him, only prefer Cotchin) Pick 4-Morton (WCE won't take another Morton) Pick 5-Grant (too high, but the doggies are keen...they are...
