. JACK TRENGOVE (18, Sturt, 185cm, 84kg) I have no idea how the Demons would have split Trengove and Scully had Jordan McMahon not delivered them a priority pick with his postsiren goal for a four-point Richmond win in round 18

Someone has been reading this board..lol

I don't know about anyone else but with four days to go I've hit the wall with saturation coverage of this stuff. I've already banned watching any You Tube material (most of it is misleading anyway because it packages a player's highlights and doesn't show much of what he's doing for the remaining 95% or so of a game) and I think I'll lock myself away from this for a few days. Still, can't wait for the real thing though!

Feeling a bit like WJ and I can't wait for it to be over. While I respect Emma and her draft knowledge and admit mine is not much above nil, I can't help but feel that this year her picks won't line up with the actual clubs this year. She has Port taking 2 mids with their fist 2 picks and us 4 mids with with our first 4 picks. I just can't see that happening. She also has Cunnington slipping to 7 and Butcher taken by North whereas I feel they will take a mid, most likely Cunnington.

Connolly fanning the Ball discussion is also very interesting as if we take him that changes things as it will if it forces another club to strike early to take him.

Anyway it makes for a few days more discussion.

Speaking of Jordan McMahon, as soon as the draft is finished, can we pleeeease remove this list clogger's name from this forum?

I really don't enjoy clicking on a dud tiger's name during the off-season.

Just my 2 cents, now i'm off to read Emma's article, i enjoy her stuff, so i'm sure i'll enjoy this article too

This isn't her phantom draft. Just her top 25. They are two different things and she did both last year.

Well, we're taking your suggestion on board although Jordan McMahon has become something of a cult hero around here. If we end up drafting Luke Ball he'll certainly come into the mix.

There must be something about recycled players who have ended up at Richmond because Bomber Blitz have named their trade and draft board after Tom Hislop. I guess we're all paying homage to their former coach, the incomparable Terry Wallace who raised trading and drafting to an art form. :lol:

I will give Emma some credit. Justifies her selections (although I do not agree with her list in parts) and seems to have poured much time and deliberation into her list.

The admission of Luke Ball suggest he is a top 25 talent in the draft (which is obvious). I wonder where she would have ranked him.

I really want Vardy at 18. I have about 5-6 players I want at pick 11 (none of which are named Luke Ball), but at 18 I want only Vardy.

The best thing about this list is the thought of 4-5 of them playing in Demon jumpers ... :wub:

That is exciting, I can not wait to see these player we pick and the current crop of youngsters rack up 50 games under their belts.

THE DEMONS WILL BE UNSTOPPABLE..

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level.

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
