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: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
