Discussing various topics, injuries, last pre season, Tom Scully (the type of player we would be interested in if we are in the position to pick him) What we want to achieve next year, manage young players well because we will be recruiting another 5 and not rush them into it and have a good run with injuries.

Picks: 1,2,18,34 and either 50 or PSD pick 1.

That doesn't surprise me considering the lack of depth in the draft, and also taking into consideration we've made more than 7 changes to our list in each season since Bailey took the reigns.

At least we'll be getting most of it done at the top end of the draft, so probably only 1 of them will be a 'speculative' type...

5 picks sounds right picks 1,2,18,34,50

ALWAYS leave a spot for PSD1, you just don't know who will still be OOC in December.

1, 2, 18, 34, and PSD1 would be it, and it is wise, if Bailey wasn't throwing off his cuff.

Absolutely. PSD 1 is a strong bargaining tool and a useful pick as well. Last year Liam Jurrah.

I don't know; I will leave it up to the Football Department. I remember after the draft last year CC was rumbling about re-drafting CJ as he was the best player in the PSD. What happened with Jurrah has got to be one of the greatest strokes of luck we have had in recent times; You can't expect that it will happen again.

Yep, I reckon you are on the money. Besides Robbo, Wheatley and Whelan two more players to be removed from the senior list, if Valenti is elevated three more.

Or Mcnamara and/or Cheney could be rookie listed. Could be a good option I reckon.

As I predicted. Shallow draft.

Agree. PSD1 - Anymore Liam Jurrah's out there? :wub:

I'm really hoping on some inspired indigenous recruiting

According to various people at the Demonland get together on the w/end there was talk of recruiting another player from Central Australia in Liams territory a mid if I remember correctly.....perhaps someone else could shed some light on that....

The advantage of having Pick 1 in the PSD is also the fact that you can see them first hand and what there capable of by inviting them down to traning.

Yes, but I think we are right to infer that we will only use 1, 2, 18, 34, and PSD1.

Again, if he wasn't throwing it off his cuff.

Agree, perhaps mean't in the context of getting Wonaeamirri and Garland (having missed all year they are effectively "recruits") back plus 3 in the draft.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
