    Give it 5 years minimum and it will be on prime time and the next footy event. Just check how it happens in the states.

    They sell out MSG for the basketball draft.

    Yeah, i've noticed that. But here i don't think it will take off as much.

    While we still have the hype, our players develop at a different pace to theirs.

    I could be imagining things but wasn't it on free-to-air a few years back? And on a weekday?

    Maybe the AFL has reservations about turning it into a major event, the hype & business aspect of the NBA is hardly something to strive for. The expectations on draftees in the AFL are a lot different to the NBA also, the US feeder leagues are already big business & the top picks are expected to perform immediately. I agree that you'd think the interest would definetly be there though.

    Yeah, i remember it like that too. They showed highlights of most of the top 20 from memory.

    I'm surprised the AFL aren't right into it cos there are advertising dollar going to waste... but then again, it would be all included in the broadcasting rights contracts

    Did anyone see it? Was it any good?

    If good, any chance anyone has it on tape or dvd?

    I would pay to have it sent up and returned if you want it back.

    I had it recorded on the Foxtel IQ, but I've deleted it now unfortunately. It wasn't that great. Good if you were at work all day and couldn't get any SEN coverage or get on the net, but with 16 teams to cover in an hour there is only so much detail you can go into.

    What was good was that they had Jack Watts in the studio for a 5-10 minute interview, and boy oh boy, this guy is amazing for a 17 year old, in terms of his attitude and his maturity. Every time I've heard him speak I'm more and more convinced that he'll make the big time, just with his temperament alone.

    The show was Ok. Jack is a very good speaker for a fella his age. He handles himself with aplomb and as some people are suggesting, he oozes leadership material. And for a bottom age player! He didn't talk about much more than has already been reported in the media already.

    Two interesting things were the fact that Jack got touched up in a game by a girl in the juniors and came off the ground crying. Touched up in a football sense that is.............The other interesting thing was Ricky Nixon talking about Cousins. I am not a fan of Nixon, but some of the things he mentioned about the Lions and St Kilda were pretty spot on. Why Brisbane needed to state they will not take Cousins a second time in the week after previously making a one and only statement had him pretty bemused. Seems many clubs talked to Nixon about the way it has been handled and that there should be a better way to do things. They are all sympathetic to Ben and want to see him play, but they wont take him. Funny that. He is a player manager though......

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
