our last 2 drafts appear to be our best for a very long time

Cripps will help. But I reckon we'll see a fair bit of that this year. Other than Cripps and Gibbs, we've got a lot of midgets in our midfield mix.



I think we'll see a fair bit of Curnow C in the midfield..

Hopefully all the newbies wil be better for the run.....................i expect a much better showing against the Saints who are at least the equal to the Dees.

PS................i know its stating the obvious but Petracca is a million dollar player waiting to happen.Gonna be a superstar for the next decade.


murphy, gibbs simpson kruezer kerridge docherty smedts rowe plowman palmer thomas casboult buckley ed curnow white wright gorringe- that is 17/22 that are not "boys" but men

the club spin makes me sick


Mozzie................certainly wasnt men against boys Mozz.What i meant was that it looked that way .They just brushed us aside so easily.


ok mick- but Petracca is a boy in the sense of age (21) and a damn good draft pick who has been developed

the fact that melbourne are setting a standard for watts ( a no 1 pick) by not playing him is another good sign for them - have we ever dropped gibbs or kruezer for a non - standard? Do we have a standard?

we are going to regret not having a dedicated recruiter for the last 2 years of the national draft..its showing now


What are you on about?

Gibbs has been very inconsistent in his career, but his last 2 years have been very good.

Our last 2 years of drafting have been fantastic, as opposed to the previous 10 before that.

Petracca was a top 3 draft pick and was extremely highly touted all through his juniors...you're acting like Carlton passed on him in the draft??

In the past 2 years only, as you mentioned, what drafting mistakes are you referring to??????

Please give me some facts

I agree. I suspect they'll give a lot of opportunities to Smedts as well, because of his extra size.

I think our team balance was an Issue yesterday, we were rotating 5 key defenders at one point yesterday which is ridiculous. Melbourne had a couple key forwards, couple key defenders, 2 rucks and the rest were smalls which they just rotated like crazy. We need a heap more young midfielders, and u could see yesterday how one paced we are, wright, palmer, Gibbs are slow, smedts, kerrdidge, e curnow, have decent pace but are very fumbly. We need some more young midfielders and hopefully round 1 is a much more balanced team. From the 26 we played yesterday I would drop white, Rowe and gorringe with one small to get us down to a 22 for round 1. WE WERE TO TALL

Rowe is a better forward/relief ruck than Casboult.

Sorry Rexy can't agree with ya
Rowe has little or no clue about rucking Casboult has some
Casboult not great as a forward and obviously kicking diabolical but Rowe ain't nearly as good a mark
and isn't as good decision maker which doesn't say a lot because Casboult isn't great either
Both are fairly limited footballers but Casboult is a better forward than Rowe

You overrate Casboults marking. He drops a heap of them, and is shocking at ground level, agility terrible.

Hi Rexy agree he drops too many but still will be a mile ahead of Rowe in contested marking
Agility of both like turning the titanic
At centre bounce Casboult is considerably better
Decision making of both leaves a lot to be desired
I suppose Rexy the fact that both continue to get regular games is the reason why we are near the bottom every year :thumbsup:

Let's see how both go this year and then we can judge.
Both are out of contract at the end of the year

I reckon at the trade table clubs would be more inclined to give us something better for Casboult than Rowe but obviously that's my view

Yesterday was a poor reflection on Bolten and the coaching staff.

We have a month before Round 1, but a 2nd year coach should have had a side better prepared than that.

We looked as like we turned up the week before for training. Let's just hope it was the end of a high workload and they were flat.

Let's see how he has them prepared next week
