My preference is streaks ahead of the rest of them. The best big man in the draft is AARON BLACK for me!

    Picked Vardy, due to the fact that I feel we need a solid ruck more than we need a KPF. While this goes against my idea of selecting the best available, Vardy will be in amongst the big list that could be classed as the best available at that pick.

    Couldn't go past Butcher.

    As rough as he is, its his interview that impressed me the most. I think that inconsistency will be a thing f the past in three years time, making him by far the best of the talls

    Is this based on the highlights on youtube?

    Or have you seen him play?

    Butcher is the best KPP in the draft, you would pick him but he won't last to 11, if he does the club will be throwing high fives around the table when they call his name.

    If he's still there, the club would take Butcher in a heart beat! I've seen him up close a few times this year, and am more than impressed with what he can do. If available, he would be a huge asset for the club.

    Black would be my second pick, as I still think that we need another tall down forward to develop along side Watts and Jurrah to provide that potent forward combo that I have been waiting so long for!

    Bring on the draft!

    Has anybody seen Levi Casboult play?

    The videos on draft machine show him taking contested mark after contested mark - and kicking the ball along way. I note that he's not in Shifta's top 30. He's a big boy - and he appears relatively agile for his size.Has he got an attitude problem - or does the draft machine just flatter him? I'm not necessarily suggesting him for #11 - but perhaps a later pick?

    I havnt seen him play live. So thats no!

    I have seen his highlights on you tube and draft tracker. But I have also read alot about him and he is quite impress

    My decision is based on both of what I have seen and read. He has so many more attributes than Butcher its not funny!

    Consistency is a huge issue for me! Black has that. Butcher doesnt! Butcher seems to be a lazy type of footballer from what I have read and seen. And is more one dimensional type of player where Black is very versatile and atheltic and he knows where to run on the footy field.

    BLACK hands down for me!

    I hope Port or Essendon take the Butch!

    For someone like me who doesn't have a good grasp of the candidates apart from online "enlightenment" I went for Butcher as a safe option although Black would be my 2nd. One thing I am sure of is that if we get Black then our two big forwards will be collectively known as "Black Jack".

  • Quote

    I'd go:

    1) Butcher

    2) Talia

    3) Black

    Although I'm fairly indifferent about Talia and Black.

    Echoe that, but firm on Talia ahead of Black!

    IMO There are some outstanding prospects within the top dozen picks in this years draft but NONE of them are TALLS

    Very keen on Tapscott and predict he will be the smokey in this years draft

    Pick 11 i hope he is a DEMON

  • Quote

    Butcher will go to Sydney if they don't take Rohan or Port with pick 8 or 9,i'd love to get him but he won't slide to 11.

    With our million mids,we'll take best key.

    Benjamin Griffiths - just under 2 meters & 100kg

    size does matter!!!

  • Quote

    Im confident young Benjamin will be available at 18

  • Quote

    Butcher for me. People have been picking holes in his game all year while pumping up other players who are not as accomplished overall. He's the best forward and probably the best tall in the draft.

  • Quote
    I hope that was a joke. We have the worst midfield in the comp and have just lost McLean.

    I think it was meant as in - we will have just picked up Scully and Trengove, we have Grimes and Morton developing, and Sylvia, Moloney, Davey and Jones in there at the moment. Then add in prospects Strauss and Blease, and the fact that we will probably pick up another mid with either 11 or 18, and you can see that at some stage, we need to look at key-position players.

    I thought that Black Jack was a card game, what's racist about that?

    Im not sure about Tappy at 11. He is very similar to Maric who we already have coming through.

    Stevens, Lucas or Melksham if available and go for a mid.

    Im sure we will go tall though...

    • 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.
