Dees set to take Picks 1 and 2

Dee tention
in Melbourne Demons

Also word is Sandilands wants out of Freo, so they may offer him for pick 2? Personally I don't think he's worth pick 2.

I'd be surprised if that were the case. He's from WA, they usually don't like moving east...

He's 26 at the end of this year, so I don't think we'd be trading a 1st round pick for him tbh. Great player, but not a good fit for where our list is at (in terms of giving up a 1st round pick).

    PSD pick 1 shouldn't be forgotten.

    True. I didn't think of that. But it's not really that crucial. I'd still prefer no wooden spoon.

    And the PSD is different, anyway, right? The picks are usually pre-determined - there isn't much competition. I doubt any club would have taken Jurrah after us in the PSD. So it's not too important, pick 2 as opposed to pick 1.

    So, in this year's draft:

    ND Picks #1, #2, #18, #34, #50, (66)?

    PSD #1

    Can play but don't think he'll be as good as those five. Mind you though who knows how Cale will turn out, has the potential to be anything.

    I'm more than willing to give Morton some time. Given the way he's been growing, he's still a few years off getting his body sorted out. Once he fills out I think we'll find ourselves with a top line wing/mid something along the lines of Adam Goodes (I admit the comparison comes to mind after seeing him playing on Goodes last week). With his size and running, he could turn into a serious handful for the opposition.

    Trengove at pick 2 for mine....

    This is him playing at Sturt in the seniors

    Morton :wub:

    We have to re-sign him first. It's ridiculous that we haven't given him a four year deal. If that's the asking rate, he's worth it. Sure him up, with GC and WS coming into it.

    It could prove vital. It depends who's in the PSD, but this year, I wouldn't mind predicting that with GC on the cards, there might be a few shock names to join the PSD, so having the first pick is brilliant.

    So we would need atleast six valid spots, robbo, mcdonald, whelan assuming they retire then wich 3 do we let go?

    Whilst some people may not be too impressed with another spoon don't underestimate the benefit of being at the start of every round in the draft as a result. We picked off a few players last year (Bennell/Jetta) because we were 1 spot in front of WCE who were after them both. The fact that we have (not just 1,2) but 18, 34 etc will be damn important. We could still get a decent player at 18.

    No way.

    We've all heard about how we were the most professional of the amateur clubs and the most amateur of the professional clubs, well welcome to the the world of corporate football! Forget about the footy you grew up watching as a kid, it's a different game now, a game of commercial imperatives. Tanking is as practical as it is logical. Vlad won't admit it, but he doesn't need to. The AFL is a quasi-socialist construction anyway, but the alternative of rampant capitalist free marketers would kill us off in the blink of an eye. I don't lose any sleep about it, it's just how footy is now, the game must change with it's environment or go the way of the dodo.

    ????

    Hodge was not a PSD#1 pick

    If he is out of contract, I doubt he will not stay at the Hawks. And he certainly wont end up in the PSD

    It could prove vital. It depends who's in the PSD, but this year, I wouldn't mind predicting that with GC on the cards, there might be a few shock names to join the PSD, so having the first pick is brilliant.

    It could indeed. Its a nice card to have when another Clubs negotiations are going badly with a very good player.

    What I meant was he might slip through to the PSD. You never know, more of a pipe dream, but if it did we could make him captain and get him for basically nothing. :P

    Oh my god he is 8 years old! :unsure::wacko::lol:

    With every passing draft I feel like I've aged 10 years.

    Happy to hear Trengove say that he just wants to be drafted and doesn't care where. Pack your bags son, because you ain't staying in S.A., that's for sure.

    They wouldn't let him go. No chance, not unless he wanted to, which i doubt because his family has relocated to Melbourne to watch him and his brother play. Plus he wouldn't be that dumb leaving the Dee's with all the potential we have....or will have.

    If they don't sign him up now, you never know, GC might well lure him away. Particulary, when some player agents are more concerned about getting the best investment for themselves, rather than getting a deal in their clients best interests. If we offer him a long term contract, that's saying, 'we value your services, Cale'. If we don't, it's saying, 'well, we don't want to committ to you just yet'. Under normal circumstances, I'd say leave it another year, before offering him a big contract, but with the spectre of GC looming, I'm getting a little touchy underneath the collar.

    They all say that. He's not exactly going to come out and say that he refuses to leave SA, will he? Still, looks like a great prospect.

    Freo 17.14.116

    Port 11.7.73

    Ouch.

    I would take Picks 1+3 over 1+2 and wooden spoon any day of the week.

    We'll probably get thrashed by Freo next week.

    This is the perfect year to win the wooden spoon, makes us the big player on draft day.

    The Spoon is no longer a big deal.

    on the cards? it has been cemented now. Not Good
    Of course it has been cemented now. Much easier to say after the game than at quarter time don't you think?

    I agree. In fact the big prize is the Premiership Cup, always will be. Picks 1 and 2 are the next best prize.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
