2008 Draft Day

Featured Replies

Pick 35 next, who's it going to be?

 

Correct :lol:

 

Does this mean that we rate Jamar, PJ and Spencer higher than any prospects in this draft, or are we just filling what we need more?

You can have the best ruckman in the league, but if your midfield can't get the ball or kick, then what's the point?

How many premierships did Jeff White bring us?

You can have great success with ruckman you pick late in the draft or as a rookie. Wasting an early pick on a beanpole who might take 5 years to develop, if at all, seems silly.

nice nice!! taking the indegenous player in Jetta definately worth a punt given the success of Davey and Cyril Rioli in recent years!! we definately need a quick crumber to put pressure on down there...

 

I agree, I asked knowing what I already thought.

Good to see we have a plan

I'm more excited about our pick 51 than 17 and 19...

This draft was touted as the big KP draft, and we picked up one spine player, plus one standard sized mid and a couple of tiiiiny little blokes. I have an awful feeling we drafted Blease and Strauss because we need pace and kicking skill.

I think the Swift thing will hurt us too.

Don't agree at all, but you have to love the aboriginal kids. We're forming a small army of them!

I'm stoked with Blease, but I was also hoping that Johnston or Shoenmakers might slide into contention.

Not sure what to make of Strauss or Bennell.

I thought Jetta might go a bit earlier than 51.

No idea who Rohan Bail is.

Bailey would know him from Mt. Gravatt?


Pick One in the PSD here we come

I like that they'll have competition for the role as speedy crumber in the forward line, hopefully get them all the lift their game (especially Flash who was dropped off)

pick 76 is pass! he is a gun player!

the next buddy franklin mark my words!

Rapt with the Demons selections! Alot of excitement there. I thought we drafted really well even though havnt heard of the players drafted with later picks.

Spewn we didnt get Rory Sloane. Great one on one player and competitor.

PSD Pick hopefully gets us that one youngster who slipped through. I think there could be quite a few. Rockcliff just too mention one. Could be a great pick up for our forward line. De Boer still there aswell. And Clancee Pearce who I thought played great for WA 18's as a key backmen. Very surprised he was'nt picked up.

  • 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.

  • 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.
