Wasn't sure which thread to put this in (know I put these in another one, but can't remember which) so thought I may as well just start a new one.

If Lucas slips to us at 11, then we take Aaron Black or Carlisle at 18 I'll be a very, very happy boy.

    Good idea starting this thread, I did see your previous post in another thread, it can get lost in amongst all the others. Burgo's comments are good to file for reference leading up to the draft. If Lucas gets to pick 11, you won't be the only one that is happy.

    Burgo's draft range selections are all over the shop.

    It will be interesting to see how close he gets with his Phantom draft.

    No doubt he'll have 25 different players rated in the pick 8-20 range or something like that.

    But its interesting to get an impartial and educated view.

    Burgatron usually isn't far off in his phantom (even if he does continually make edits to it all the way up until draft)

    People say I'm harsh in some of my summaries of this years crop of players.

    Lucas - good player crippled by OP, would be a decent get at #11

    Aaron Black - with Butcher/Talia gone, he has no chance of getting past Pick #12

    Carlisle - 197 cms now, still moves a bit slowly .. slight chance he will be there still at #18

    My opinion of players is limited to what I've read and seen on youtube and foxtel, so should obviously be taken with a grain of salt, but I think Kane Lucas will be this year's version of Cyril Rioli, Joel Selwood, Daniel Rich, etc.

    ie. A player that makes everyone sit up and say "why on earth did our team not select him 5 picks earlier?"

    From what I know I'd agree with your appraisal of Black and Carlisle, but I live in hope.

    The recent revelations that you 'could throw a blanket over picks 5-25' has awoken the optimist in me.

    (I can't remember the specific quotes, but this is the general exaggerated gist of it)

    I thought about it but I didn't want to begin a sentence with a preposition, even if it is generally accepted nowadays.

    Don't know mate. When he announces it.

    The night before the draft.

    You sure? Didn't he release a series of them over time last year?

    Maybe I'm imagining it

    He released 2 last year - both in the week leading up to the draft.

    His reasoning for this was that the draft was so even that he was heding his bets too much on each selection (naming 3-4 teams).

    He also re-issued his Phantom Draft last year because in the days approaching the draft Fremantle announced they would be taking Hill (he had them listed as taking Rich).

    This changed the entire draft dynamic.

    Fair enough then.

    Cheers for the info

    I am quite surprised that there hasn't been more talk on here about Ryan Bastinac he was very good in the TAC Grand Final but no one seems at all interested in him.

    Interesting that he doesn't seem to rate Panos highly. Black, Carlisle, Butcher, Griffiths and Taylor are all ranked higher and no mention of Temel.

    saw him play 3 times this year for stingrays, he will be drafted, 3rd rounder at best.

    Interesting how he rates Panos. Anywhere from 15 to the Rookie draft.

    I like the writeup on Ben Griffiths too. He looks to be built along the lines of the Incredible Hulk. Could be very handy.

    Looks like he's just rating the draft camp invitees at this stage. Temel wasn't asked to attend. Be interesting to see where Matt places him in his Phantom Draft.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
