With it now looking a shoe in that we will receive pick 1 in the PSD the question is who will we take with that pick? I know it's difficult to say as we don't yet know who will be available, but with talk around players like Boak, Lake, Hodge etc.... There could be anyone, so who do we think we will take and who will be available?

Personally I think we might take Alex Silvagni in the PSD from Casey. Biggest name that will be available I reckon will be Haselby who Richmond will take at pick 3.

Everyone elses thoughts?

As per basically every year, the chances of those players actually slipping through to the PSD is negligible. I think Nick Stevens is probably the only player of any merit that has made it to the PSD of recent times (prove me wrong someone).

Not that he turned out any good but Jade Rawlings was highly regarded entering the PSD. The end result didn't justify the hype mind you.

Since Stevens there's only been a handful:

Mahoney

Porplyzia

Mal Michael

Welsh

Martin

Cousins

Jurrah

We've done surprising well over the last couple of years

Gee, the Porpoise was a good pick up.

How old is Silvagni? How tall etc? The few times i've seen him play he seems a little undersized for the roles he's playing.

What about Wall? I've seen nothing of him at all, but he's generally in the best each week and seems to be pretty dominant at VFL level. Our ruck stocks are not great at the moment and according to some could be getting worse after trade week. Is he worth a look?

Silvagni's 192cm, 92kg and 22 years old. Can play forward and back and is in Casey's best most weeks. I reckon both Valenti and Spencer will be promoted off our rookie list also. Although none of them are probably in our best 22, think they'll all be players capable of making an impact at some stage next year.

James Wall 198cm 90kg 22 yo.

Ruck

He's been around a few clubs but he seems to be pretty good at VFL level. Anyone actually seen him play? Is he worth consideration?

Seen him but haven't taken much notice of him. Times I've watched him hasn't done anything to catch my eye, but at the same time hasn't done anything to make me think he's no good. Honest player IMO.

Maybe they have worked out after years of injury he's gone as an AFL footballer.

I watched him in the Casey- Coburg game and he looked slow and with no impact.

Anyway Richmond are idiots without that.

    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
