Last year Draft Videos

[Mousey 47]

On top of the draft picks this year, we should be very excited with the kids coming through.. Other than cale the two other main guys in Addam and Grimes has not been able to show their true talents yet. I had not ever seen these videos before so sorry if others have-

Pick 4- Cale Morton

Pick 14- Jack Grimes

Pick 21- Addam Maric

Exciting times i say :)

With any luck there will be quite the extravaganza of young talent at the Demons next year.

Remembering that Grimes barely played, Maric was on managed duties to complete yr 12, Petterd basically didn't play for much of the year, Martin has only been playing footy in any form for 2 years, Morton obviously will benefit from another pre-season and a more mature body, ditto Womaeamirri.

Colin Sylvia started to show what he can do late this year, and will be lining up for (touch wood) his first full pre-season.

Do we expect Bate, Davey and Jones to rebound from poor years? Will Dunn, Frawley and Newton step up?

Will McLean, Rivers and Moloney break their injury curses?

Where to next for Colin Garland?

Robbo is jogging now, and should do a pretty full pre-season, can he recapture some form?

Will Whelan finally get an injury free season?

And who from the 3 picks under 20 will play right away?

And who will be there at number 1 in the pre-season draft? Farren Ray? Seaby? Prismall? Will Warnock fall through to us? Or some random kid with decent prospects?

With so many players hurt or developed 'conservatively' this year, the 'swell' next year could be great fun to watch.

Even when we're losing, there will be competition for spots amongst a bunch of kids looking to establish a place and get some experience.

Ooohh... I've just entered the magical twilight zone of pre-season optimism.

That WAS quick!
