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

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
