Unless i missed it, they did not get picked up?

I would LOVE one of them at the Dees...

Anyway?

Posted (edited)

Jack Grimes, Liam Patrick, Mathew Panos, Alex carey, Majak Daw.

Just to name a few.

Anyone else?

Also Andrew Hooper and Anton woods although always likely to be rookied.

Do we have any picks in the rookie draft? if so which ones?

We're obliged to take Newton and Meesen aren't we?

don't think we have room on our rookie list aren't we commited....

but would love any of these apart from picks 1 and 2 i am suprised

We might be able to squeeze one in as a rookie. I'm not sure how the mature age rookies fit into things in terms of how many we can have. Possible that one or the other will be in there. Otherwise we'd have to use the PSD 1 for them and if we were going to do that we'd have just taken them now.

short answer= NO.

Joel McDonald has been confirmed at PSD1 by Connoly.

2 remaining rookie spots have been committed to Meesan and Newton.

Cant believe we didnt pick Daw up at 66!

If we were going to pick 1 of them up, wouldnt we have just done it at 66?

Is there a reason why you would wait until the PSD / RD?

It isn't hard to believe. We have one remaining vacancy on the list which is committed to Macdonald. The reason we didn't pick either of them at 66 is clearly because we don't want them.

So the short answer to the OP is no, it is not possible that they will be on our list next year.

Didn't think we had any spots left with Meesen and Newtown put on there. Disappointing!

Correct, our rookie list is full, if we go by our promise to Meesen and Newtown. Besides they both have a year to go on their contacts.

Not that I would know, but I feel for Grimes.

Hopefully somebody rookies him, because if he has his brother's attitude and work ethic, he's a good project player.

Pay them out! They have done nothing.

I would prefer Grimes, Panos or Patrick!

Can we just [censored] them off by paying them next year's money and draft some kids - Majak Daw for one. Panos would be good if he was still there at 17.

Panos not picked up either.

I thought we would have taken a punt on a forward. Perhaps Bailey is banking on winning a premiership with midfielders.

Bit of a let down, this draft.

Ill go strait out and say how i feel about pick 11 mainly im excited about taking him though i am worried would of loved Lucas but oh well.

Must trust BP,

Also his highlights dont really show elite skill or speed.

But lets not be negative overall im happy and excited!

I have been calling all year for Newton to be payed out. Now we are not tanking he is a worthless, waste of space. Other clubs have paid out contracts (Haw - Thorpe, etc), so we can too. Newton will never make it, as certain as night and day. Get rid of him and free up the space for Grimes or Patrick.

I thought Meeson showed something in his 3 games before getting injured. Nevertheless with two new ruckmen and his failure to deliver at two clubs I would not be against paying him out either. Lets be ruthless.

Dump the duds!

Go Dees!!

4 of the most popular names on this site without a home; Patrick, Panos, Temel and Daw.

Three of those four were obviously over-hyped, even to the numptie armchair recruiter like me.

I am surprised the other wasn't taken though.

Posted

Matthew Panos

Serhat Temel

Majak Daw

Daniel Archer

Dylan Grimes

Joe Dare

These are all KPP's that we should target in the Rookie Draft. Personally, i think that there is absolutely no use redrafting Meesen as we have just drafted two ruckmen in Gawn and Fitzpatrick. All these KPP's were expected to be drafted so imo the Dees should take a gamble on one of them.

I tend too agree but unril we see them play who knows make a judgment than there were other players i would have prefered but lets face it the media hype up certain players its a guessing game to an extent lets hope our team of midfielders can win a flag hey!

The club has made a commitment, the club will stick to it.

Besides, GC have 5 picks before us in the rookie draft. If any of those players are any good, they'll be gone.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
