Pick 11

I think we should go for the best available at pick 11, which would most likely be a midfielder.

I'd love to see Lewis Jetta in our side but by pick 18 some good key forwards may have been taken already

Picks 1 and 2 are undoubtedly being used on Scully and Trengove and it's unlikely thata decent key forward will be available through the PSD so if pick 11 was used on a forward it would be understandable aswell.

Thoughts please?

    Assuming 1 and 2 go on Scully and Trengrove I think 11 has to be used on a tall. Whether they go looking for a ruck or a KPP I don't know, but if we're to get a good one it needs to be fairly early. I think the KPF's in this draft are rated a bit higher than the rucks, so probably one of them and a ruck later if there's a good one going.

    pick 11 definately should be a tall key position player. Players like Butcher might be still available with also Carlisle, Panos, Talia and Temel in the running for the pick. Whoever we select must be a good set shot at goal, otherwise they are useless, we've already got Miller and Newton who are awful kicks.

    Pick 11 & 18 to be a combination of Aaron Black, Carlisle, Vardy or Griffiths for me.

    Talia of course, if he slips through, but highly doubtful.

    If Butcher is still available.... Then we will take him.... I have no doubt.... But it's a big IF....

    Do you see Butcher as possibly still available at pick 11?

    I can see him slip to 11 the only worry will be the bombers with pick 10 they may want another KPP now they have lost lucas and lloyd time will tell hey i can't wait and have full faith in our FD they don't seem to have made to many mistakes in recent years (unlike the tigers a few years ago)

    GO DEES christmas comes early this year NOVEMBER!!!!

    If the rumour I am hearing is true, then Essendon have included their Pick 10 in the deal with Port/Hawthorn/Burgoyne/Williams....

    I know it might sound strange, but they reckon here on Adelaide radio that they will confirm just before 7pm (7:30 EDST) that Port will have Picks 8,9,10.... Hawks get SB.... Essendon get Mark Williams.... If Hawthorn are stupid enough to give 9 and 10(via Essendon) to Port then that may throw a spanner in the works come draft day....

    I'd love to get Talia at 11 if he's available.

    If Butcher's there they'll take him, if not people say the club is super keen on Carlisle... I'd be happy with Talia here. Temel and Panos likewise would get me excited.

    It HAS to be a KP player though.

    Port Adel - picks 8,9,16.

    Butcher, Tapscott, Talia, Panos, Carlisle

    In that order. We go KPP, unless Tapscott is there, as he is a real talent with a great kick, who may slip. We'll go KPP again at 18, likely on Carlisle, Black, or whoever is around.

    Griffiths.

    Not keen on Panos.

  • Quote

    That he is Freak. Played at CHB and running off the HBF this year, but he did go forward a few times with moderate success. If we drafted him we would try to mould him into a key forward.

  • Quote

    talia is more of a backmen than a forward people. relax

    And Garland played forward before he played back. We're relaxed.

  • Quote
    You'd be more comfortable with a very injury prone Griffiths???

    Yeah, strangely.

    Something about Panos doesn't feel right for me.

    Too much hype and not enough substance...

    But its not like I'm a recruiter & I haven't seen him play live, so my opinion is based on very little.

    No different to the majority of posters on this forum...

  • Quote

    And you mean injury prone at U/18 level like Joel Selwood, Chris Judd, Tom Swift... shall I keep going?

  • Quote

    Picks 11 and 18 HAVE to be used on prospective Key Position Forwards.

    Carlisle

    Talia

    Panos

    Butcher

    Temel

    Not necessarily in order.

    Talls are different.

    Joel Selwood and Judd had a single injury from memory which needed to get fixed. Griffiths has had miltiple injuries in different area's and it seems his body is not handling it atm.

    I don't think they both HAVE to be used on KPF's. Sure, definitely one of them should be used on a KPF, but we've lost Brock - you can never have enough mid's. I'd prefer the club go for what they think is the best available player if that happens to be a KPF so be it. But I wouldn't say that picks 11 & 18 are 'locks' for KPF's.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
