    Didn't know that's how it worked, thanks
    If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

      It must have been to beat assumption. Billy Brownless and Simon O' Donnell would have been at Assumption around that time.

      Did you play in the game against Footscray High the year you won, because you beat us in an earlier round in that game I talk about earlier in the thread. And we had to qualify to play in the bloody comp! We win our way through three or four other Western Suburbs schools undefeated and we're starting to think we were pretty good only then to front up at Skinner reserve to play you blokes. 25 goals something to 3 points later...

      Who were Mazenod's guns?
      They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

          Dalrymple mentioned it in the interview that's been posted on here. I'm pretty sure it was 8 clubs, might have been 6.

                Western Bulldogs Father Son Darcy Macpherson is under taking the National Draft Combine over this weekend.
                According to AFL Reporter Callum Twomey, he expects Darcy to be a Western Bulldogs player in 2016 and since he had a injury prone season. May be a late end to rookie draft pick which will work in Bulldogs favor during the trading period.





                By Emma Quayle

                AFL biography: Small midfielder/forward who is a prolific ball winner averaging 21 disposals in eight matches with the Knights this year. Missed the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships due to injury. Eligible for Father/Son to Western Bulldogs where his father Steve played, and played three VFatches with the Bulldogs this year.


                "Darcy has been with the Knights all the way through the junior programs. He had a consistent year with us as a 17-year-old last year but at the start of this year he was doing some training with the Bulldogs as a father-son, and the picked up a little bit of a tear in his shoulder. He weighed it all up, because he was in the initial Vic Metro squad, but he decided with some advice to have the surgery done sooner rather than later. He missed 16 weeks, came back to us during the nationals and ended up playing the last nine games. He was a bit rusty early with his kicking efficiency decision making, but he had a really good run home and played some excellent footy as a small midfielder and small forward. He gets a lot of it, and he attacks the footy really hard."

                  Some impressive testing for Dmac at the combine.

                    Great results. His rise in his under 16's year was enormous. He had a heap of AFL clubs following on Twitter off the back of it at age 15.

                    Didn't set the world on fire last year, but pretty much played all of the TAC. Some good form and these results will rise his stock. He's another lean, short midfielder/forward/flanker. We'd need to move one or two like players on or face having way too many smells on the list.

                      14.8 in the shuttle run. That's more than competitive with all bar one of the guys we drafted last year.

                        Pretty much a Hrovat clone.

                        If he (Rat) was open to the idea, I would love to get involved with the Carlisle deal and give Rat and our first to the Saints for their pick 5. Would probably take more to prize pick 5 away, but if they're using a first rounder on Carlisle anyway, why not get a quality young mid to add to the mix.

                          I'd love this to be done, it's been on top of my mind for days. If we can pull that off, that's a massive pick or currency enough to get an Aish or Treloar plus KPD for it.

                              Re: Darcy McPherson

                              How do watchers compare Darcy with both Hrovat and Honeychurch?

                              For whatever it's worth I can understand why we'd trade Nathan (more value) but he's a better player than Honeychurch, who is very limited, so I'm interested to hear if Darcy is rated higher.
