- he's continuing to develop and is showing as much as for instance Kosi was at a similar stage in his career Kosi was way ahead at a similar age IMO... Kosi won the rising star and was a standout 18/19 year old in the comp. He was a better player at 18-20 than he's been 25-30... Sure, injuries, ch...

Hi again. Just one other question. The Saints are said to be also chasing Mason Wood from the Geelong Falcons but he doesn't get a mention on your list. Is there a reason? Hi again, I would have loved to include every player but I simply ran out of time. I will be doing extra profiles on the websit...

Excellent job James. Well done. Just a quick question. I notice you have the Saints chasing Tanner Smith but you also seem to rate Tom Clurey who incidentally is a mad St Kilda supporter. I looked at his Youtube highlights and he seems the goods in every way though slightly shorter than Smith. Are ...

who were your next two draft picks? that's what i'm really keen to see. Expect St Kilda to take at least one mature age player this year and I’d like to see them take one or two of Tanner Smith, Sam Colquhoun, Adam Carter or Mason Shaw with pick 25 or 26 if they are available. Pick 41 or 44 could S...

Haha they all had things going for them back in the day, just didn't come on for one reason or another.

Thank you. As you can imagine it took a lot of time!

Did it take long to load?

Hi all, As you know I run a website. Yes this a plug for something I have been working on. Yes some of you will hate me for that and abuse me but some of you hopefully will enjoy what I'm doing. I have just released a 6,000 word draft guide from my perspective. You don't have to do anything to get a...

Wouldn't go.

IF he did not a massive loss by the end of next year.

From another thread.

Top 10 are all potential guns

Pick 11-30 not much difference between them all potential 100+ gamers

Pick 31-50 all potential 50+ gamers

51+ project players, mature players and long shots

I've done 40 different draft profiles for this years draft which you can find here: http://www.contestedfooty.com/2012-afl-draft-prospects/ Some I like who could end up sliding to us. Jason Pongracic Mid/Fwd Strong bodied inside player who could play next year and can rest forward Mason Shaw (unlike...

I'd break this years draft down like this. Top 10 are all potential guns Pick 11-30 not much difference between them all potential 100+ gamers Pick 31-50 all potential 50+ gamers 51+ project players, mature players and long shots. Just my opinion but I pay a fair bit of attention to the draft prospe...

Means Melbourne is giving us a top 10 pick for Farren Ray, because this is clearly bizzaro world.......... We finally get a decent pick in a reasonable draft and we "maybe" piss it away on a bloke who couldnt get a rookie spot 12 months ago, and got delisted after 1 season as an 18 year o...

What if we traded Ray and pick 43 for something?

Fantastic article! Will check out his site regularly from now on.

Hopefully we throw our hat into the ring. Would slot in nicely to our side. Obviously don't spend more than what we offered Goddard but could offer a longer term contract.

It will be interesting to see how it plays out over the next few years. I'm not sure clubs should have to give something up, kind of defeats the purpose of the system.

Salary cap combined with likely paying overs to poach stars should keep it all in balance imo.

the thread was already top two you f****** d**khead how is that a bump??? moron brilliant deductions watson the only time you ever come here is to flog that pathetic site piss off Not sure what I've done to really upset you.

Thank you.

Earlier today Brendon Goddard accepted a four year contract offer put to him by the Essendon Football Club. The move will likely be the biggest move of the AFL Free Agency Period.

Certain to go from what I have heard. Likely announced next Tuesday.

Assuming we don't pick up anyone our selves we will get a round 1 compensation pick.
