Phantom Draft

cooko
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

Ok now that the draft order is finally set here's my prediction up until Melbourne's final pick.

1. Tom Scully (Melbourne)

2. Jack Trengove (Melbourne)

3. Dustin Martin (Richmond)

4. Anthony Morabito (Fremantle)

5. Ben Cunnington (North Melbourne)

6. Gary Rohan (Sydney)

7. Kane Lucas (West Coast)

8. Luke Tapscott (Port Adelaide)

9. James Craig (Port Adelaide)

10. Koby Stevens (Essendon)

11. John Butcher (Melbourne)

18. Lewis Jetta (Melbourne)

Mmmm a bit biased....looks like you've based it around who yiou want at Melbourne's picks. Port would take Butcher ahead of Craig, fo' sho. Jetta won't last to pick 18

    How much do you know about Black? Pretty keen to hear about him as no one really knows much about him

    I know that he is very competitive, tall,strong, has a good footy brain and showed he can play with the older blokes too.

    can take a mark and kicking is good also

    True, they are the players that I'd like to see at Melbourne but I think there's a very strong chance it could pan out this way. Port have shown over the years their preference to draft South Australians over other states players due to the go home factor, eg Hartlett last year at pick 4 ahead of Rich. Which is why I think there's a strong chance they'll take Craig, also it's been well publiciced their desire for ruckman and they didn't do anything to address that during trade week.

    As for Jetta getting to 18, I agree will be a tough ask, but if some teams are put off due to the fact they'd be drafting a 20 year old instead of a 18 year old then he'd be in with a chance of falling through.

    we wont get jetta - he will go top ten.... i would think to the eagles!!!

    interesting you dont have Taylor in there.... he might be a little troubled bu he is a super player - i would love to get him at 34

    Black also might be a better fit for us than butcher - he is strong, crashes packs and loves a contest (i might be wrong here, but i have my concerns over butcher's work rate/head space)

    Yeah it'll be interesting to see where Jetta goes I agree, could be as high as 7 or as low as 20 IMO. I know West Coast are tossing up between him and Lucas.

    I had Troy Taylor in at pick 28, or were you refering to Mitchell Taylor?

    As for Balck I agree there's a strong chance we may draft him at pick 18, I think it depends on who we draft at pick 11.

    Most people seem set on Scully and Trengove at 1 and 2. Most people seem set on KPP's at 11 and 18 and most people seem set on Dylan Grimes at 34. Few people have us picking beyong 34.

    I have to say regarding using later picks, if Majak Daw was still up for grabs with our 4th round pick I'd like us to take him. Obviously this would depend heavily on how much room we have on our list, but I think he'd be worth a punt as a late pick. I'm a big fan of his but I have to concede he's not good enough/ready to go high early in the draft.

    He is making all the right noises. That description sounds very appealing. Going only off my internet knowledge, if Butcher is not there at 11 I'm hoping we draft Black.

    butcher definately won't be there at 11. either sydney or port would take him before us, most likely port because they can get a mid with one pick and butcher with another.

    jetta i believe will be an eagle with 7 - if they go Lucas he might slip to 11 but i doubt it!! if he does we must take him

    Troy Taylor i meant - he is a gun but has off field issues... hes attractive though due to us having davey, aussie, jurrah, jamie, nev. They could be a good influence on him! he is a star player.....

    we should take Black if he is available at 11 and Butcher is gone! i think he is as good as butcher

    Sydney have locked in Rohan according to one of the draft camp video's at AFL.com.au

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
