Reasonable case put forward. Although, on the flipside with Cheney being traded, McNamara delisted our depth for down back has eroded a little. Strauss is no guarantee either to make it - I hope he does.

Nothing against Darling, Lynch as I'm sure they are in the mix. As I've stated previously I think these two might go before pick 12.

Any chance we might rookie Tommy Mac? Can we?

    That draft was a shocker and there wasn't a lot of stars available at pick 12.

    In fact, emerging from that train wreck with McDonald and Howe make doesn't make it too bad for us in retrospect.

    Reopen the Jack Darling thread. Or the Lucas Cook thread.  It was a shocker. Salvaged Howe and McDonald luckily. 

    Darling was a killer.  Discipline issues apparently!! Top 5-10 draftee who slipped 26.

    7 years. 150 games.  270 goals later.

    Mmmm, id put the context of J Kennedy taking the best forward week in week out, as helpful to those aforementioned stats...vs being in our rabble...Jimmy Magner drilling it down his throat...*cough*

    A few other pretty handy late pickups though too Luke Parker at 40, Viv Michie at 44, Paul Puopolo at 66, Jeff Garlet at 85 (promoted rookie), Cameron Pedersen as a rookie (for North), Jeremy McGovern as a rookie, Michael Hibberd in the pre season.

    Ahhh, the old draft lotto at it's best.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
