I had a dream the Dee's took Jed Lamb at Pick 12. Snuffed out the Hawks!

12. Billie Smedts (if Smedts is gone. Watson wouldn't be a surprise!)

I wouldn't have the foggiest idea on our remaining picks. Possibly Callum Sinclair unless we decide too rookie list him. Remaining picks would most likely be 190cm+ players.

I think we will get a very good player at Pick 12 either way.

12. Heppell

33. Darling

50. Fitzgerald

53. Pass

I feel that the club likes using the pre season draft pick. It gives them an extra few weeks to assess who is left and pull out a smokey or sorts. Whether it is a Stefan Martin or Liam Jurrah who knows but it seems to be their way.

Every single year BP reads out a name that surprises the hell out of us armchair experts. With that in mind:

12. Brodie Smith

33. Cameron Guthrie

50. Ben Brown

53. Jordan Shroder

If I get 2 out of 4 I'm considering it a win.

53 - Cameron O’Shea

Honestly don't think Mitchell will be available at 33. We might take him at 12 which will surprise.

This is really hard this year. So many players might slide to pick 12 that we would take.

Too bloody hard so many quality players even out too the 3rd and 4th rounds there will be some suprises no doubt as it all depends which way the gc go! I'm pretty pumped will be watching tonight and in my very bias opinion pick 12 is the most interesting as the fd could be very surprised on players they would bank on going earlier so my guess is they will have half a dozen players of genuine interest. For what it's worth I really want jack darling but as someone else posted if he slipped to 33 hell yes I will be happy

I think we will end up with 2, possibly 3 of these guys. I would still love to get Jack Darling though, but i dont think the Dees are interested in him at all.

12. Dyson Heppell or Ben Jacobs

33. Luke Mitchell or Lucas Cook

50. Jeremy Howe or Callum Sinclair

53. Kirk Ugle or Josh Jenkins

My dream draft:

12 - Heppell

33 - Jacobs

50 - Luke Mitchell

53 - Troy Davis

Heppell and Jacobs sound like they play similar roles - hard to see how this would be a dream outcome. All things being equal with us selecting the best player particularly at early picks a dream outcome would be to solve as many holes in the list as possible. I agree that the role they play is a need so one would be great but there's other needs like a fwd/ruck, small defensive back and outside midfield line-breaker.

Still not bad HT.

I'd be happy with that, providing 53 was a KPP.

Lynch would be better than Brodie Smith too.

No doubt. My basis for Lynch is GC already have Dixon and Fraser and will have Day in their back pocket as well. Plus perhaps Gorringe. Anyway I have Smith as my second option - mid/half back.

I've gone with best available.

Mitchell covers needs in terms of forwards.

I think there's room in the side for both Heppell & Jacobs, even though they are similar types.

I think it shows how little I rate the KPP around 33.

Any taken there have just as much chance of coming good as one taken at 50.

Possibly switch Jacobs with Guthrie and you have your small defender.

I just really like Jacobs and it's like I said in a thread last year:

"it's a shame scully and trengove are both so good, because it means there's no chance we'll pick Dustin Martin"

Now look at him.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    After two disappointing back to back losses the Demons have the bye in Round 14 and then face perennial cellar dweller North Melbourne at the MCG on Saturday night in Round 15. Who comes in and who goes out?
