Reckon this guy is alright and could even be capable of being a future FF we need. Reckon we could try and trade Miller & pick 34 or Buckley & 34. What do people think?

    Was a fantastic junior who suffered injuries in a pre-draft car accident.

    Has overcome those now (although I beleive he's lost his mojo) and now battles with consistancy.

    agreed, think you might need to start with 18 though.

    34 and miller and 34 and buckley are quite different. imo

    As a KP with good potential who has frustrated, you'd think pick 18 is minimum. Look at Brock. He's a one-paced mid who has frustrated and he got pick 11.

    I'd be pleased with Dowler. Very pleased if we traded pick 18. I'd even cope with pick 11, assuming the better KP draftees are gone by then.

    In other news. How much for Thorp? I used to rate this kid, but Hawks people tell me he is absolutely gaaaaawn.

    Pick 34 for Dowler I would take. If a player needs to be added then do so to get the deal done.

    No too Pick 18.

    Age: 21

    Height: 195cm

    Weight: 92kg

    Pick #6 2005 draft

    2009: 13 games

    Disp: 14.5

    Marks: 5

    Goals" 9

    Limited opp with hawks forward line and few injuries. Played around the ground getting 24 touches in one game which is good for a bigger size player.

    Last few games without buddy playing he was moved perminantly down forward and kicked a bag of 4 then in the last game kicked 3.

    IMO he is worth pick 18 for sure.

    I was watching him play in the hawks vs richmond game, and when franklin was struggling to make an impact early, Dowler looked very strong and composed. I was impressed. don't know about consistency, but If he came, I wouldn't mind.

    He was very good in the round 22 game vs the Dons. Definitely worth pick 18 if he was on the table, and a promising future FF.

    I'd jump at Dowler for pick 34. He looked good in Hawthorn's last couple of games. But I reckon pick 18 is too much in this last uncompromised draft. The quality is going to fall away somewhere between 15 and 25 .You'd hope 18 would be on the right side of the line

    I wouldn't use Brock at #11 as a benchmark. I reckon that's a great deal for us. Ratten and Riley obviously remember him as a he was 3 or 4 years ago. The game has got quicker since then ... and pace has always been his problem

    Hawks wouldn't take pick 34 for him, no way.

    The quality is going to fall away much ealier then that.

    But it could be the pick that is the final peice of the jigsaw for the Gibson trade

    It is interesting that the person overall in charge at Hathorn, Chris Fagan-Hawthorn head of coaching and development ,is one person that the MFC respect very much. To me, if Chris does let Beau go- we should not take him- we should go for our own through the National Draft.Hawthorn FC are made up of many ex Dees- Mark Evans-Football Manager, Leigh Newton etc.. Overall, I think their judgement is sound - I respect them overall..

    Prefer Talia, Temel, Panos Vardy etc.. over Beau.Although he is only nearly 20 with possible upside.

    • 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?

      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.
